The Cars - Shake It Up

Seems a little odd, I know. It's weird though, because as a kid I listened to the Cars constantly and would consider them one of my first favorite rock and roll bands. Heard 'Since You're Gone' on the radio and it started it all over again. It's definitely a grower, but this album has some pretty weird/awesome shit going on.

Get down.
Shake It Up

The Clash - Sandinista!

Rain, it's been around for quite a bit longer than the Clash I assume. It kinda sucks, but it's not really all that bad once you accept the fact that it is raining and will be for some time. It allows an easier recession into those boring melancholy feelings that are so often inconvenient. Let's be honest with each other, that shit feels good sometimes. It's especially good when accompanied with a guru to lead you out of the dark places once you've lingered too long. This is the one thing that I have found to do such a thing. An incredible record that gets better every single time I listen to it. Oddly, it is also the record that brings in the 'I want to be alone' feelings most sincerely. I don't think that's always a bad thing. Wallow away, don't apologize, and enjoy the rain.


Sandinista!

Neil Young - Time Fades Away

There's something unspeakably comforting about someone who shares your disdain and joy for the world in the same easy breath. Uncle Neil.

Tough Shits - Prick Up Your Ears-Complete Tough Shits

We played with these dudes in Philadelphia.
Aside from being some of the sweetest dudes we met on tour, they were also the weirdest and the most fun. Their show was sweet as hell and involved a guitar being smashed....in front of twenty people. Either way, I knew we were in for a treat when Greg came in and asked if they had anyone for the guest list and the first person to be put on was the singer's mom. Mom was then treated to a set that included jerking off the microphone and talking almost exclusively about drugs.

The songs are fucking brilliant and arranged perfectly to strut their simplicity. Sweet guitar playing, great harmonies, wonderful lyrics. I'm super stoked on these dudes.

gg-g-g-g-g-g-get it. so most highly recommended.

John Cale- Fear

Back to back days? Yes.

I figured I would put this record up because most of you won't like it at first and I intend to test your mettle.

Cale is awesome. This record is totally wussed out, but i can't stop listening to it so...
