'Cause I'm getting sick of listening to the same shit over and over again.

I'm open to anything.
If you know what I mean.

This is just a random list of shit I've liked for years. This is a partial list of my fave-o-rite records though. Which is not necessarily a good thing.

Fuggit. Here is a pile of shit that i have been liking for long and short amounts of time.

Where i could find 'em, there are full recoards poasted. Udderwise, generally, the rest of recoards from whence the songs poasted came, are generally swell. IMO.

Which is probably too many at once, so i will leave it there, here.

Also, you prolly have heard a bunch of that shit, anyhoo.

I should czech some of the stuff Chris recommended. Some I am familiar with, some not so much.

Some randomes that fell through my braincracks.

That's some good shit.

Now, for myself, there is one record that i cannot really fully explain why, but that has remained one of my absolute favorites for kind of a really long time now.

This one:



Really, i can't think of a record that i like more as a whole. It doesn't seem to hit anyone else this quite way though. It is perhaps my favorite, nevertheless.

Something about the density of the arrangements, it is just chaotic stacks of sounds that somehow squashed into a kind of pop record. A lot of well-hidden dissonance, a lot of obscured layers that pop out with repeated loud listenings. I consistently like the bass treatments as well. It is not a bass sound i generally like(no high end to it, just a lot of boom) but i find it perfect here, possibly because the guitars are generally so far back as to make it work, i don't know.

I'm almost surprised you hadn't recommended that one prior. I know that's your fave-o-rite record ever, or close enough, from what you've said over the years. It might not be the thing you listen to the most or obsess over or are even influenced by as a writer or player, but that's just The One. Floodland is that to me. Both of them are certainly layered things.

Aaaaand, because the things I sent you are wonkyass broken bitches, you should ear these up:















Really, this is basically just a continuation of Chris' posting, as that is where I got most of all this from. The songs are pretty accurate representations of what the bands are on about, so you can expect more of the same if you like something.

I was indeed thinking to meseff: a few of those look familiar.
