Unknown Pleasures: Joy Division
3 recommendations
"*The* great Joy Division album. There's a good reason that this album has influenced so many musicians in the years since Ian Curtis' death. There are such amazing, heart rending songs on here. In retrospect, Curtis' band mates couldn't believe they didn't see the foreboding in the material, but they couldn't separate themselves from the songs. It's such a tragedy in so many ways, and Unknown ..."

Vampire Weekend

"The band formed in their Columbia dorm room...their stuff is Afrobeat meets '80s stuff! The music is fun, playful, pop-wise, and smart. Organ and drums are often the focal point of the music, bringing to mind a goofier but great album!"

"It was at that boat in Paris--the one that has all the live shows and parties--and the sun was rising as the deep-fried leftovers of last nights party slowly emerged on deck, making their way towards cars, public transport, nearby trees, ditches, or a curb to climb into, and all the wile as my zombie friends and I crossed onto land I could hear a beautiful song playing over the sound system to bid..."
The Best of the Smiths, Vol. 1

"At the risk of being uncovered as an only-buys-the-best-of-album-poser, I admit that I bought this CD a few years ago and I haven't been disappointed one bit. It has all the songs I remember from high school and a couple awesome tracks I was not angsty enough to know about at the time. ps. How did they get Jude Law to pose for the cover?"
Violator: Depeche Mode

"Maybe the best Depeche Mode album. By the way such the late 20th century bondage a-go-go standards Policy Of Truth, World in My Eyes, and Personal Jesus are perfect to work out to."

Lita Ford - Kiss Me Deadly

Tina Ann- LOL (Miss Skinny Jeans)
1 recommendation
"I first heard Tina Ann at the Beatstock Concert and I loved watching her perform. This song is probably the best one yet, and once you hear it, it's going to stick with you, whether you like it or not. I'm glad to see that she's getting some airplay on The Party 105.3 in NY. This particular single is a really great dance pop tune, and I expect to be hearing it in the clubs very soon. Anybo..."
