BAND: Star Fucking Hipsters

COUNTRY: United States of America

ALBUM: Until We're Dead

GENRE: Punk Rock / Crack Rock Steady / Ska

NOTES:

Remember the first time you've heard of D.I.Y Punk back in the late 90s? (We get it, you're from the 80s and have better taste in Punk, piss off now) It's pretty much like that.... I love this so much.

It's like Punk Rock in Crack.

Jason Mraz - Selected Recordings

2009-12-05T07:01:00.007Z

Artist: Jason Mraz
Album: Various Albums
Genre: Acoustic, Pop
Myspace: www.myspace.com/jasonmraz

Jason Mraz is a singer/songwriter who plays acoustic, funk/rock-influenced pop. He's got a great voice and is almost always accompanied by his friend, backup singer, and djembe player, Noel 'Toca' Rivera. I've given you some of his live albums that feature just Jason Mraz and Toca without the rest of his band. I feel that these show the true nature of his live performance due to the intimate setting and unplugged atmosphere. I've also upped a bootleg that I just downloaded, and it sounds incredible, as good as any commercial recording.

Christmas with the Rat Pack

2009-12-02T20:13:00.002Z

Off with my over coat, off with my gloves,
who needs an over coat, I'm burning with love!

The Rat Pack is a group of musicians and actors of the 1960s, most well known of which is the trio of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis, Jr. This is an album I picked up at Costco a couple years back, and I put it away in a box on my hard drive for most of the year, and when December roles around I blow the dust off it and play is ceaselessly. You know, you guys should be grateful of where you are (unless you're in the tropics like me), shit the only change you notice in Hawaii is the stores get decked out in September! Oh, what I would give to see the leaves change, and snow fall.

Merry Christmas, brothers.

The Red Chord - Fed Through The Teeth Machine

2009-11-21T19:37:00.003Z

Latest album from The Red Chord. Brutal, angry and just damn nasty. Another solid release from these guys. Very similar to Prey for Eyes, but with more leads. Techncal Death/Grind/Metalcore at its best.

Scream, cower-hide from the shards of the hour of rats.

Kylesa

2009-11-20T23:43:00.001Z

I offer up to the Gods of Metal, Kylesa. A Georgia sludge act that is a lot like Boris in the respect that they refuse to remain static, refuse to remain on one sound. I offer you Time Will Fuse Its Worth and To Walk A Middle Course. Both excellent albums.

Baroness

2009-11-20T19:32:00.003Z

I humbly offer you the discography of Baroness. One of the kings of modern Sludge, from Savannah, Georgia. The members originally were from up in Virginia, but moved on down to Georgia to start up Baroness. Fronted by guitarist, artist, and vocalist John Dyer Baizley, Baroness features intelligent guitar work, eclectic stylings (in the vein of such fellow Georgia bands as Kylesa and Jucifer), and amazing musicianship. I personally recommend the entire discography, but if you want specific "get this one right fucking now" then I'd say go with Red Album, that's what I started off with. BUT, I'm also a big fan of First.

Leftover Crack

2009-11-17T19:27:00.001Z

Here is Leftöver Crack's first full length album Mediocre Generica. I picked this up off of the Crustmas blog initially, but it was in a shitty file format that only works in Itunes. So I'm reuploading it in .mp3 file format. Leftöver Crack is a band that encompasses several genres going from death metal, to ska, to crust punk all in short of each other. The singer is kinda weak initially, but he shows his skills as the album wears on. They have anarchist lyrics and sing about anti-homophobia, anti-religion, anti-government, anti-racism, etc. etc. This album was released by Epitaph, the irony of the name was lost to the producers who were pressuring the band to put out a mediocre generic name for the album. The album was released on Septempber 11, 2001, by coincidence. The band released their second album, which is a shitty follow up titled "Fuck World Trade", which beside the offensive name is actually not very good. The band currently reside at C-Squat.

I have since decided the world of Punk Rock wouldn't miss them if they fell in a hole, because they're fucking douche bags, but their music is pretty OK. Kinda mediocre.

I'm pretty sure we have Misanthropic Generation already on this blog, go download it, if it's not on here there it must be from Moonstruck. Download this shit.

Choke Their Rivers With Our Dead

2009-11-17T19:26:00.001Z

North Carolina crust punk/sludge act Choke Their Rivers With Our Dead. This was a limited release, from a summer tour they did a while back. CTRWOD was made out of several hardcore bands out of NC, and I gotta say I fucking love it. I'm particularly fond of I Came Out Of North Carolina Flying. The vocals are fucking great, female fronted, there's only 4 tracks, but it's definitely worth it. This band is constantly on my sludge play lists and compilations. They're splendid.

Brant Bjork is best known for his work as the Drummers for Kyuss and Fu Manchu. This is one of his solo albums, playing with a band called 'The Operators'. They have a very unique sound of softly fuzzed out guitars with lots of Flanger used. Its smooth, it’s psychedelic and very very chilled out. For he is captain lovestar and he’s your rock n’ roll commander.

Anyway, Texas metal band, did a lot of killer shit. Yes, Dimebag got shot, no I don't think he's the greatest guitarist ever. Yes, I love Phil Anselmo, no he was not the reason they broke up. I definitely suggest Vulgar Display and Far Beyond Driven for those of you who liked CFH but are skeptical about their later releases. I enjoy GSTK, but I'm not so sure exactly how much I like Reinventing, it's a good album, but I think in comparison to their previous releases it isn't as strong.

Current Obsession: Jucifer

2009-11-10T18:33:00.006Z

Today's obsession: Jucifer.

Copypasta from Wikipedia because I'm fucking lazy:

Jucifer is a two piece sludge metal band signed to Relapse Records. They are frequently described as a cross between Portishead and Black Sabbath or The Melvins.. The band's members include Amber Valentine on lead guitar and vocals, and her husband Edgar Livengood on drums. They travel in an RV and are "nomadic in nature," preferring to tour constantly, rather than following the normal practice of album release/tour/time at home. Jucifer is notable for the extreme volume at which they perform, as well as the dichotomy between the recorded material and the "intensity" of their live shows.

Amber Valentine is very pretty. I have their two most recent albums for you, today. If Thine Enemy Hunger (2006) and L'Autrichienne (2008). There is a pretty sweet changing up of vocal work from siren to fucking banshee screech. Enjoy.

Frank Sinatra

2009-11-06T19:45:00.004Z

Frank Sinatra: The Man. The. Motherfucking. Man.
Actually, when I was away on my trip into the mainland, on the way to Pennsylvania from Missouri, I actually got into an argument about ol' blue eyes with my aunty. She was arguing that some fuck from Canada (Michael blue-bley or some shit) was better than Frank. He's a good singer, but he ain't no Frank Sinatra. Her argument for why I should like him is that he sounds like Frank Sinatra. If you like him because he sounds like Frank Sinatra, why not just listen to Frank Sinatra?

Anyway. Needless to say: I won that fucking argument. Why? Because Frank Sinatra is the fucking man. So in the spirit of Frank Sinatra being the fucking man, I'm uploading 3 discs of Frank Sinatra, 36-All Time Favorites. Beautiful music for the heart sick, the hopelessly in love, and in general all the classy motherfuckers.

I can't offer up their full discography, but I can offer up what I have. Amplifier Worship, Feedbacker, and Empty Bottle (Live at Chicago). This is a marvelous band that is worth checking out no matter what genre is your niche. Plus they have a guitarist who sure is purdy.

Here is the EHG discography I promised.
EHG is the founder of the genre of Sludge Metal which I am in love with. Mike William's has this voice, it's an unintelligible scream, a miserable wail. The music can be very bleak at times, and energetic at others. EHG is a must have for any fan of Sludge, to truly appreciate the genre you have to be able to appreciate its humble NOLA origins.

On another note, the members of EHG, along with other NOLA musician Phil Anselmo have been a huge factor in reviving the New Orleans music scene, in the aftermath of Katrina. Many people lost everything, Mike Williams was no different, after going homeless and getting clean after Phillip bailed him out of a drug charge, he became a leader on the revival scene. If you can't respect that, you can't respect much.

To truly appreciate certain genres you have to appreciate the genres they in turn pay homage to. This is directed at you Sludge fans, southern rock is a big inspiration in the southern sludge bands, and Lynyrd Skynyrd is at the forefront, particularly with Weedeater.

Big Business

2009-11-05T18:18:00.000Z

So Yeah, Big Business is a sludge band out of Washington. Initially a duo of bass and drums (they now have a guitarist), they've done a lot of work with The Melvins, though I don't have (a) Senile Animal, their split. I do, however, have Here Come the Water Works (thanks to Antonius Block), and I also have for you their album Head for the Shallow. Which I recently picked up off of Sludge Swamp. I've spun it once and re-upped it for this blog. Some of the lyrics on Here Come the Water Works are kinda batshit, a reminder of The Melvins, but the music is totally fucking great. These guys definitely know how to jam.

Neurosis

2009-11-05T18:17:00.000Z

Okay, here is Neurosis’ album The Eye of Every Storm. I have to admit that it was kind of a hard thing for me to like, the first song didn’t much do it for me, but I kept listening and I was blown away. The song No River to Take Me Home is a favorite of mine, it’s heavy, it’s melodic, and it’s brooding. Neurosis was actually a band that took me a while to track down (much like Isis), and when I finally found it I had to listen a couple of times before it clicked. I am also giving the link to the album A Sun That Never Sets, which I haven’t had a chance to listen to yet, but I’m looking forward to.

Acid Bath

2009-11-05T18:16:00.000Z

Here are two Acid Bath albums. First is the Hymns of the Needle Freaks demo, which is very good, in some ways better than the full release of the album. Acid Bath were a band out of the Louisiana metal scene, which just makes me love them more. They didn't get nearly as much recognition as they deserved, Venus Blue could have made it as a radio song had it not been for the graphic lyrics. Their mainstream appeal wasn't too high, and this could be accounted for with their graphic lyrics and their usage of serial killer paintings as album covers. The second album I'm putting up is Pagan Terrorism Tactics, which is a MASTERPIECE. The songs Bleed Me An Ocean, Graveflower, and Venus Blue always get to me. Both albums are lush with masterful vocal work, beautiful clean vocals being complimented by harsh screams and growls.

Sourvein

2009-11-05T18:13:00.000Z

Alright so here is the Sourvein EP Ghetto Angel. I gotta say, I've been looking for some Sourvein for a long time, without luck, until I stumbled across this. This is a really good album. It's droney, it's sludgy, it's crunchy, it's just fucking great. Anyway, Ghetto Angel opens with the song Nightwing, which is a decent enough song. The vocals are rather odd, they kind of remind me of Buzzov-en, actually.

Southern Isolation

2009-11-05T17:33:00.000Z

Okay, here is Southern Isolation's one and only album. Southern Isolation is a southern rock/folk band from Louisiana. The duo comprises Phil Anselmo and (then) wife Stephanie Opal. The band is made up of guitar and vocals, provided by Phil and Stephanie, respectively. Stephanie shows that she has a truly beautiful voice, singing lead in all the songs. Philip provides backing vocals on a couple of the tracks, and lead in the last song Southern Man I Am.

This album is executed beautifully. It's truly a shame that they only released the self titled. Just like with crust punk band Arson Anthem we're shown that Philip has mastery over the guitar as he does over singing. I honestly think all of you will get into this really easily.

Isis - The Mosquito Control/ The Red Sea, Japanese Reissue (2002)

2009-11-01T16:54:00.003Z

This is a cool little Reissue I stole from one of my favorite blogs, appropriately named Stonerobbi. This is a reissue of two early Isis EPs, Mosquito Control and The Red Sea. It also has two covers from the "sawblade" EP, Streetcleaner (Godflesh cover), and Hand of Doom (Black Sabbath cover). Early Isis is fucking brutal, raw ass sludge ware you can just start to hear there post rock influences. I hightly suggest this to any sludge or Isis fan.

2009-10-29T01:31:00.002Z

Black Snake Moan, a movie that has been elevated to my favorite. It has 3 things I love: the South, the blues, and Samuel L. Motherfucking Jackson.

This is a really ace soundtrack. Including 3 tracks done by Samuel L. himself. It includes music from The Black Keys, Jessie Mae Hemphill, Bobby Rush, and R.L. Burnside. From Mr. Jackson comes a rendition of Bird Without A Feather, by R.L. Burnside, as well as the haunting Black Snake Moan, the titular song.

This was the first example of Folk Metal that I ever heard, back when I was in highschool. Slow, chugging riffs, mixed with Violins, Cellos, Flutes, with both nice female vocals, and burly male vocals, mixed together to make a nice, epic viking themed album. I love walking around my community to this in the snow.

Some crap Zero asked me to put up... I MEAN SABBAT YO!

2009-10-21T03:15:00.001+01:00

So, Zero is here to offer you some new Music. "But Zero, you only listen to Thrash and obscure bands I've never heard of!" Well guess what you pussy, I'm proving you right!

This is Sabbat, a fucking awesome Blackened Thrash (Or Black/Thrash, if it makes a difference) from Japan. They're one of my favorite Black Metal bands ever. They're like Venom, only better in every way, being funnier, better musicians, and just plain eviler. Seriously, the first time I heard the Opener "The Answer Is Hell" I was pretty sure I'd been condemned to Hell right then. It's that fucking evil. This Album is Karmagmassacer, my first and personally favorite album from them. It's more Thrashy than their previous Efforts like Stanasword, but it's so damn distinctive and cool you won't care. See, unlike a lot of "evil" bands, Sabbat write riffs that aren't totally ripped off from Slayer songs. That's right, you're getting original, bad ass riffing. And the soloing is right up there too, being evil without ever sounding like a Slayer Impersonation. Their vocalist is also funny, but incredibly perfect for the music too.

If that hasn't sold you, maybe this will: I assume you all know about Venom's famed "At War With Satan" or whatever the fuck that 20 minutes song was called. Well Sabbat One Upped them: They released a song called "The Dwelling" that clocked in at 59:49, 11 seconds short of an hour. And you know what? That song is better than every Venom song evar, and I fucking love Venom.

Seriously, if someone doesn't download this that isn't Morgan, I'm quitting the Guild. You will like it if you have testicles. Even some of you ladies will. So do it now before I take my beautiful body and leave you all.

Rapidshit, Zero, really? WELL I GUESS ONCE CAN'T HURT...

R.L. Burnside - A Bothered Mind

2009-10-09T20:14:00.003+01:00

"This album includes a collection of unreleased R L Burnside live and studio cuts featuring both his band--great stuff from both Kenny Burns and Cedric Burnside--and R L solo from as far back as 1968. This is a treasure trove of true blues. Also built into A Bothered Mind are hiphop-blues cuts built by Kid Rock's mixmaster Tino Gross from recorded RLB vocals and featuring both Kid Rock himself and rapper Lyrics Born on additional vocals. These are interesting mixes and follow up well on R L's tradition of expanding his music's reach to new and younger listeners, as he did in his collaborations with the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion some years back."
www.rootsworld.com

Even though the idea of Kid Rock on one song makes my bowls churn, don't let that turn you off this album. It brings you a good mix of old school blues, modern music, and some damn soul. This goes out to nigga hollow point, who wanted his self some more Burnside. Amen brotha.

The Protomen are a band that produce a very epic Rock Opera about Megaman. If that turns you off, download it any way.

A band that really needs no introduction. Everybody has heard of these guys, a staple at parties, just a popular one to listen to when going down the road. I offer up their Self titled album.

A hard rock supergroup, Audioslave consists of Ex-Soundgarden frontman and rhythm guitarist Chris Cornell along with the instrumentals from Rage Against the Machine. It's cool cause no samplings were used, all sounds on all their albums are made by their instruments.

David Allan Coe

2009-08-21T18:45:00.001+01:00

It's been a while, brothers. I come back to you from the Wilderness of North America with a humble offering from the Southland.

David Allan Coe. What can I say? The country man that was so metal. Known for his x-rated albums and his sometimes rank subject matter, David Allan Coe is an essential addition to the collection of any fan of outlaw country, southern rock, even some of the bluesier varieties of sludge metal. DAC is one bad mother fucker, as you can tell from such songs are Long Haired Redneck, Son of the South, and Willie, Waylon, and Me.

Musically, David has a very strong voice that he can tune to a lot of different sounds. From the mournful You Never Even Called Me By My Name to the gospel Would You Lay With Me (In a Field of Stone) and then to the biting honky tonk sound of Long Haired Redneck.

Greatest Hits.

Well, I was drunk the day my Mom got outta prison.

But, before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
She got runned over by a damned old train.

The Nation of Ulysses were a band from Washington D.C. who had some crazy ideas about how music from the '60s and '70s was shit, that actually knowing how to play your instruments made you poseurs, that old people sucked, and that punks should make an effort to dress nice.

This, their debut album, has 16 tracks of punchy punk numbers crammed full of ludicrously radical left-wing lyrics, so if you like that kind of thing then this is kind of thing that you will like. Enjoy!

Artist: The Nation of Ulysses
Album: 13-Point Program to Destroy America

Bathory - Blood Fire Death

2009-08-04T15:43:00.004+01:00

The elder among the men looked deep into the fire
and spoke loud with pride:
"Tomorrow is a fine day to die"

Blood Fire Death is Bathory's finest hour. An album of relentlessly epic thrashy black metal dripping with Norse paganism, this album is widely considered the birth of the Viking Metal genre. It's a metal essential.

Flagitious Idiosyncrasy In The Dilapidation are a Japanese Death/Grind band, and sound like a small dog being stamped on repeatedly by a big boot. They're sort of fun, and this is their first demo. Also I know that they don't look like a Death/Grind band, but take my word for it.

Blood Sweat and Tears is a band formed in New York City around 1967. Popularly called "Jazz Rock" they incorporate a good bit of Genre's into there music, including Jazz, Rock, Blues, and Pop. This is there second album and my current favorite (of those I've listened to). They are also pretty good live, I was lucky enough to see them at the Maryland Blues fest this year. Give this one a spin and see how you feel.

An all female Post-Rock band from Japan. as opposed to explosions, MONO, godspeed or halda. The band doesn't need to build up any sonic climax for the listener. this is musical bliss without the eargasm.

Water Fai are a Japanese psychedelic-pop band, formed in Osaka in 2002. These four women dynamically contrast intricate melodies and soft harmonies with violent guitar-noise and electronic effects. They bring a much needed feminine approach to the post-rock genre that is so often dominated by male artists (and their biggest influences) like Mogwai and Tortoise. They bring their own translation of the sentimentality captured best by The Album Leaf and Yo La Tengo.

Northern State

2009-06-10T13:31:00.003+01:00

Northern State are constantly billed as 'the female Beastie Boys,' not an unfair tag when one considers the similarities between the bands; the humour, the New York-iness, the Jewishness. However, this all-female crew have something more in common with fellow Nassau county natives Public Enemy, in that their raps tend to be more politically informed, even if it is thrown in between a stupid jokes about how gangsta they are. Pitchfork and most other reviews have been rather... harsh on Northern State, mentioning that they essentially exist in a vacuum with their female, indie-based rap, and that it's really only their own self-confidence that gets them by. However, I personally enjoy it, even though they are 'C-grade rappers.' There's something so positive and cheerful about this band that manages to force its way through the sometimes faltering musicianship, and they're definately worth a listen, especially you, Steel Lord.

Still, the powerful vocal and guitar perfomances are back all the same, and the album is irresistable. This one may not have you drawing Anarchy symbols all over your desk at school, but it might have you singing into a hairbush at home...

The Thermals

2009-05-12T04:07:00.003+01:00

One of my favourite indie acts, the Thermals fuse pop sensibilities with a punk attitude and some witty lyricism to really make their mark above and beyond the norm. The vocalist bothers me a little with his nasal sound, but really, the rhythm section make up for it, providing a driving, exciting base across which they throw a scattering of pop hooks and punky riffs. Highly recommended, this is the first two albums in one .rar, Fuckin' A and More Parts Per Million. The production on each is pretty rough, particularly on More Parts... but it just adds to the charm of it all.

If you enjoy this, I suggest checking out All Girl Summer Fun Band, who are also on this blog.

Belle & Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister

2009-05-11T07:01:00.003+01:00

Perhaps one of the most famous bands from the '90s indie scene, Belle & Sebastian have enjoyed constant critical acclaim (other than on their follow-up to this album, but that was just Bitchfork), soundtrack appearances and are currently working on a film. However, their commercial success has been much more limited, and listening to this, you can tell why; there are only so many sensitive indie 20-somethings who want to listen to this. For those of us out there, though, this is perfect, sublime even. Do yourself a favour, turn the lights out, get a great set of headphones, and listen to this album the whole way through. Put it this way; they're Scottish, and even I like them, they must be doing something right.

Talulah Gosh - Backwash

2009-05-11T06:56:00.005+01:00

Talulah Gosh were a band from Oxford and one of the leading lights of the 'twee pop' (read: indie pop) movement. In addition, they influenced the Riot Grrrl movement, the sound of which can be heard on such tracks as Do You Remember. However, throughout their rather short career that only saw them release singles in a glut from '68-'88 they experimented with a lot of style, from the faux-innocence of their first singles to the punkier later work. This is a collection of their singles, radio sessions and other stuff, the most complete thing you can get from this sadly forgotten band.

Great pop-punk band from Japan, a favourite of Sonic Youth and Nirvana who earned their place in rock history with a DIY punk attitude and self-promotion before being catapulted to fame by association with aforementioned acts. As with most pop-punk acts, they are less serious about themselves and their music, but this doesn't stop them writing brilliant tunes, and performing them with a zeal few bands have.

You should probably recognise at least a few songs from these albums. The Vartan is a bit more Rock & Roll feeling, whereas Frances Gall is poppier, with hints of Serge Gainsbourg's later songwriting mixed in.

Hüsker Dü - Zen Arcade

2009-05-05T17:39:00.003+01:00

Zen Arcade is the third studio album from the American punk rock band Hüsker Dü, released in July 1984 on SST Records. Originally released as a double album on two vinyl LPs, Zen Arcade is a concept album about an adolescent who runs away because his home life is unfulfilling, only to find the world outside is even worse. The album incorporates elements of jazz, psychedelia, acoustic folk, pop, and piano interludes, concepts previously unheard of in the world of hardcore punk.

Zen Arcade and subsequent Hüsker Dü albums were instrumental in the creation of the alternative rock genre; the band would later abandon the hardcore aesthetic entirely in favor of a post-hardcore style of melodic, guitar-driven alternative rock. While not commercially successful, the influence of Zen Arcade has stretched beyond the underground music sphere, and it is frequently included on lists of the all-time best rock and roll albums and more recently it has gained a cult following.

Reality is the new fiction, they say
Truth is truer in these days, truth is man-made
If you're here cause you want to be entertained
Please go away

Sleater-Kinney's last album, and it is immediately apparant why. From the abrasive stomp of the Fox to the epic, etheral refrain of Night Light, the album does not let up, and the group could not do better, and decided not to try. This is punk, but it incorporates so much more, has long guitar solos, but keeps the passion, and never pulls its punches politically or emotionally.

Bikini Kill - CD Version of the First Two Records

2009-04-02T13:09:00.004+01:00

Because some of you wanted more Bikini Kill. Which is cool, because it is good shit. The next couple of paragraphs were shamelessly copied from Wikipedia.

Bikini Kill was an American punk band formed in Olympia, Washington in October of 1990. The group is widely considered to be the pioneer of the riot grrrl movement, and was well known and notorious for its radical feminist lyrics and fiery performances. Their music was characteristically abrasive and hardcore punk-influenced.

While occasionally collaborating (politically and creatively) with high-profile acts such as Nirvana and Joan Jett, Bikini Kill was well known for shunning major labels and the mainstream rock press. After two full-length albums, several EPs and two compilations, the group disbanded in 1998.

The C.D. Version of the First Two Records is the 1994 first CD release of punk rock band Bikini Kill, collecting their 1992 eponymous EP and their half of the 1993 EP Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah, an album they shared with the band Huggy Bear. The album includes the track "Rebel Girl", which song made #27 on the Rolling Stone list of "Most Excellent Songs Of Every Year Since 1967", a playlist assembled by the magazine in 2006 to celebrate its 1000th issue.

Zero requested some The Exploited, and here it is. This is my favorite Punk thing so far - not that I have heard THAT much, but still. This thing is vicious and unforgiving, and UK-82 has a necksnapping break which is repeated like 3 times, so don't even start fixing that until you have heard it three fuckin' times. Also, the midpaced tittle track is epic for a Punk band, another highlight. And please don't fuck the USA, but happily headbang to that song. Fans of Crossover Thrash like the Cro-Mags will love this. Also, fans of Overkill, early Motorhead, etc... Though, if you ask me, everyone must listen to this.

So, my first contribution.This is something I should have listened to earlier in my life. A marvelous New Cuban Trova album, with some material having been written between '68 and '70. This is all accoustic material which changes my opinion about accoustic guitars being retarded. There's real poetry to it, and a whole load of emotion like very few things do.

This is the closest thing I have to a guilty pleasure. Alkaline Trio is a Pop-punk/pop-rock band (depending on the release) from Chicago, and honestly, I'm not even sure why I like them. I hate just about every other band there associated with (like Hotwater music) but them I just have this undying love for. This is there first, and my favorite album of there's, and its also there most 'punky'. There lyrics range from really sappy, almost cheesy (but kinda cute) love songs, to depressing songs of loss and alcohol abuse. Hope you guys like this one.

This is The Mars Volta's first studio album. It's their most solid record to date mainly because of song structure. This album stays consistent with its musician's abilities to improvise and experiment without losing control over the song or the listener's attention. Their other albums tend to lose focus after a few minutes. This one has the best vocals, guitar, and drum work, so give it a listen, it's really awesome.

Nico Vega are a sweet little indie band from Los Angeles, California. The three-piece band has Rich Koehler playing guitar melody lines, Dan Epand laying the beats, and Aja Volkman on the suprisingly good vocals. The reason I like this band isn't because they're female fronted, it's because their frontwoman actually has a unique voice. It's almost raspy, but the way she hits the melodies is sweet. She's also cute, which is a plus. Chris, you'll probably like this band.

Kitty Thompson plays the cello, and uses it in conjunction with several effects pedals. Janine White displays her beautiful yet haunting vocals over Vincent Marcone's electronic handiwork. The group produces a unique sound which is "sometimes uplifting and, at other times, deeply oppressive"(Urptsukidojis Pad webzine). This band is perfect for deep thought, creative inspiration, or even when you just feel the need for ambiance. If you like the group's sound, you should check out their website: designed by Marcone himself, it's every bit as breathtaking as the music.

Probably Cat Power's most critically acclaimed album, You Are Free is full of stand out tracks. I believe Eddie Vedder guests on one, and Dave Grohl is responsible for the drums across the album. The centrepiece is, as ever, Chan's voice though, which sounds clearer and more confident than on previous releases. Some claim the middle of the album drops a little, but really, I think most of the tracks are strong and have no real complaints, even of Vedder.

Alix-Ground: Italian Female fronted Stoner Rock, good stuff.

Boris-Heavy Rocks: Those damn slant eyes did it again with this awesome stoner rock album with some fat riffs.

Brant Bjork-Brant Bjork and the Operators: After leaving Kyuss and Fu Manchu, he started his own line of music. Really chilled out, smooth songs, I love this album.

Deasert Sessions-1&2: Every one knows you cant say "Stoner Rock" with out saying "Josh Homme is a god among men". Deasert Sessions is a improve music band started by Homme that hike there ass out to this ranch in the middle of teh desert, do lots of drugs, and make albums on the spot, interesting stuff to say the least.

Slo Burn-Amusing the Amazing: After the Death of Kyuss, John Garcia helped form Slo Burn. Sadly they were short lived (perhaps they got high and forgot they were a band?) and only put out one EP, but its a really really good EP. "Whilst Kyuss ripped a hole into the desert, these guys plugged their guitars into it."

Enjoy

High energy sludge band out of Savannah, GA. I hear they sound like Kylesa, but I haven't listened to enough Kylesa to really make that statement myself. High fucking energy, heavy as shit, really good.

I gotta say, I wasn't too sure how much I'd like this, but when I gave it a listen I found out that it's fucking ace. Rebel Meets Rebel was a project started by Outlaw Country star David Allen Coe along with the Pantera brothers Dimebag Darrel and Vinnie Paul. This is fucking awesome southern rock sounding shit. I know Pantera isn't that popular with a lot of you, but give this a listen. You won't be disappointed. It was released in 2006, two years after the tragic murder of Dimebag. This album has some great songs on it such as Heart Worn Highway, Cowboys Do More Dope, and Nothing to Lose.
