Music: New CDs

Okay, time to catch up on all the new CDs I have purchased over the last couple months:

-LCD Soundsystem: Sound of Silver - a strong album from dancepunk pioneers
-Ojos de Brujo: Techari - contemporarized flamenco
-The Twilight Sad: Fourteen Autumns Fifteen Winters - dense melodic anthems in a thick Scottish brogue
-The Field: From Here We Go Sublime - solid four-on-the-floor house beats with subtle washes of melody
-Deerhunter: Flourescent Grey - great indie band with shoegazer influences

Music: New CD - Deerhoof and Fujiya & Miyagi

Deerhoof - Friend Opportunity

Fujiya & Miyagi - Transparent Things

Music: Live - The Rapture

The Rapture @ Emo's: the best show I have seen this year. Not a single person was standing still. WOW!

Music: New CD - The Longcut

The Longcut EP - Brit band, driving rhythm section like a galloping horse, piercing guitars and vocals, stretched out songs.

Music: New CD - The Rapture and Junior Boys

Junior Boys: So This is Goodbye - Synth-pop, subdued, melodic, rich
The Rapture: Pieces of the People We Love - Dance-y, jittery, infectious

Music: New tunes - J Dilla

J Dilla - The Shining
Got about half the album from iTunes. Amazing samples and beats.

Music: New tunes - Kanye

Downloaded a bunch of Kanye West songs from iTunes. I love the soul/r&b samples - addictively sweet. I played Through the Wire constantly over the weekend.

Music: New CD - DJ Cheb i Sabbah

DJ Cheb i Sabbah - La Kahena
Great North African/Middle Eastern music with electronic beats and super vocalists.

Music: New CD - The Radio Dept.

The Radio Dept. - Pet Grief
Swedish band. Great synth-pop.

Music: New CD - Peloton

Peloton - EP
One of the staff at Waterloo had this on the back wall with a recommendation. What a neat find. Shoegazey indie pop.

Music: New CD - Deerhoof

Deerhoof - Milkman: A third Deerhoof album to add to the shelf. Discordant and melodic. This one is loosely a concept album about the Milkman pictured on the cover.

Music: New CDs - Talking Heads

I had the Stop Making Sense record when I was a teen. Today, as I was surfing around some music blogs I came across a reference to the Talking Heads. Hmm.. off kilter rhythms by an arty band. Off I went to Waterloo Records and got three cds:
More Songs About Buildings and Food
Remain in Light
Speaking in Tongues
