Skip Spence - Oar Hawksley Workman - For Him and the Girls Kate Bush - Hounds of Love Harmonium - Si On Avait Besoin d'une Cinquieme Saison
The Grateful Dead are also a pretty safe bet to be on my turn table most days.

Hounds of Love is so good. I've been introducing friends to Kate Bush every chance I get.

Hounds of Love is so good. I've been introducing friends to Kate Bush every chance I get. Yeah Kate bush is pretty cool. She's pretty perfect for my music sensibilities at times as she is among the best with marrying interesting (not all the time though) music with things I'm personally interested in. As I'm sure you can tell from my rants posts sometimes, songs like "Running up that Hill" (minus the god part) have a great deal of appeal to me. Here'a quote from her about it. "I was trying to say that, really, a man and a woman, can't understand each other because we are a man and a woman. And if we could actually swap each other's roles, if we could actually be in each other's place for a while, I think we'd both be very surprised! [Laughs] And I think it would lead to a greater understanding. And really the only way I could think it could be done was either... you know, I thought a deal with the devil, you know. And I thought, 'well, no, why not a deal with God!' You know, because in a way it's so much more powerful the whole idea of asking God to make a deal with you. You see, for me it is still called "Deal With God", that was its title. But we were told that if we kept this title that it would not be played in any of the religious countries, Italy wouldn't play it, France wouldn't play it, and Australia wouldn't play it! Ireland wouldn't play it, and that generally we might get it blacked purely because it had God in the title"

Sounds like it! I love doing sequential tears through pieces of a bands catalog, though. I don't do it that much. I spend so much time listening to "new" music, or "new to me" music, that sometimes I forget to give myself a day here and there to listen to stuff I actually like. The only other bands that come to mind that I can listen to all day are Wilco, and Kanye. And I see you were listening to Here Comes the Indian earlier today. That was my late night drunk walk home selection last night (don't drink and drive kids, buy an Ipod instead, long drunken walks with music is gold).

The King is Dead, over and over and over I love this album! And I couldn't believe my ears when my girlfriend said it was cheesy. I figured she would like it even more than me... But she kept saying the singers voice didn't have enough inflection. She then took my Ipod and changed the song to REM's "Losing My Religion"

I don't like really any of their records since 'Her Majesty' (edit: except the new one; it's really great), but 'The Crane Wife' is particularly offensive to me. And by that I mean it bugs the hell out of me. It comes down to, which of these songs is more grating: is it 'The Perfect Crime' or that eleven minute bullshit about being eaten by a whale on 'Picaresque'? The answer is: 'The Perfect Crime'. But just barely. It was a perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect criiiiime. Yea.... I really hate that song too. Well yeah, that song got annoying. I love every other song on The Crane Wife though.

Listened to the Smith Westerns, did not like it. There were some decent moments (I'm being nicer than I should), but the lyrics suck, so much sucky suck lyrics and very very tired things discussed ("Weekend", "End of the Night", "Dance the Night"). Why are they singled out above the seven hundred other bands just like this? This sounds like a TV show soundtrack that has beautiful people on it doing annoying things that were first annoying things done on the internet and now they are even more annoying and contrived.
I could see how young people like this stuff though.

Also picked up the new Destroyer and Black Mountain albums today. Listened to the first side of Kaputt, LOVE IT!
Wilderness heart I've heard already about 20 times, I LOVE that album! McBean's voice is way more dynamic (and it was already a weapon to begin with). Both him and Amber Webber sound like a Space Witch and Cosmic Wizard coming together. The acoustic tracks are epic (and I hate this word). Pick up THIS album.

From one listen to the Miniature Tigers album I have no desire to hear it again. I never hated anything, but kept feeling like "what is the point to this band". It's really a hodgepodge of all things "cool", I felt like they had some songs then were like, "okay, now lets add cool things we heard from other albums last weekend".
Nothing seemed their own basically.
