Worm Tamer by Grinderman
1 recommendation
"Love that Grinderman sound. "Worm Tamer" sparks memories from many of the 34 other lives I've lived in this life time. Oh, nice to see the red head on this cover. Anyway glad they gave us the dirty sounding versions on this one, I need the grit to keep awake and dreaming over the long ride my brothers."
The Best Of The Original Mono Recordings by Bob Dylan
1 recommendation
"The original mono recordings of any well produced album crafted during the golden age of mono recordings is a treat to my contemporary the ears. Here in the 21st century where audio alchemy is injected in every aspect of our lives mono records often are no more than an interesting oddity, but I think of mono as a realm in itself, a realm that has its own rules, texture and feel. But what I do have..."
Celebrating Life by Borko
1 recommendation
"I was originally attracted to this album because of the cool cover illustration, this time the attraction paid off. Iceland's Borko straddles the line between homespun electronic pop and post-rock deftly, combining glitchy beats, winsome melodies, and quirkier flourishes like brass and xylophone into comfortable-sounding, but never boring, music."
Gurrumul by Gurrumul
1 recommendation
"Gurrumul writes songs of love, blindness, struggle and hope, some might call it the Blues, some could call it folk, some could even say it's country, I think it's just music from the heart."
BINGO! by Steve Miller Band
1 recommendation
"Did you know that The Steve Miller Band is one of my guilty pleasures? You can imaging how happy I was that "BINGO!" did not disappoint. The choice of tracks is right on target and the sound is true to the spirit and legacy of their Chicago Blues core. Nicely done! p.s. Storm Thorgerson you the man!"

Love, Peace and Harmony: The Best of Bow Wow Wow
1 recommendation
"Originally Malcolm McLaren just wanted to get Bow Wow Wow to wear clothes. But there was more to the story much more, and the music? The music of Bow Wow Wow gets me up and jumping, gets me mad and moving, makes me crazy and zany, and funny and punch-drunk with abandon."
Broken Bells by Broken Bells
1 recommendation
"There was so much hype around the release of Broken Bells that I was afraid the music wouldn't hold up to the expectations. But turns out that it's a solid alternative pop album. There aren't any of the mega songs that come with big pop bands, instead just really listenable songs that feel easy on the ear."
Stridulum - EP by Zola Jesus
1 recommendation
"I had this friend who used to trick me into going to see all kinds of emerging bands by telling me that they sounded like Siouxsie and the Banshees, they never did, nut I kept going to see these bands just incase any of them had the rare sound. I know it's not fair to compare the sound of one artist to another, but one of the aspects of Zola Jesus that i enjoy most is that some times she sounds li..."
Out of Our Heads by Rolling Stones
1 recommendation
""Out of Our Heads" was a hit when it first surfaced in the 1960's, with it's jangling echoing sound and cool soul and blues covers. What I love about the recordings on "Out of Our Heads" is that the music and the sound production is forever linked to that 1960s' sound. For me the noteworthy tracks "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", "The Last Time", "I'm Alright", and "Play With Fire" gives this albu..."
The Sisters of Suave by Thee Headcoatees
1 recommendation
"Oh yeah, I love it when I wake up on the floor and Thee Headcoatees are playing Plastic Bertran's Ca Plane Pour Moi. But seriously, I need more albums like this, where do I go, seems that Le Tigre is the only alternative."
The Frozen Borderline: 1968-1970: Nico
1 recommendation
"I have to admit, I'm the kind of person who ends up getting everything I can find from an artist, there's something about Nico that I find so compelling, I like her studio albums bootleg recordings, early and late recordings, I just cant get enough. I've noticed that I'm not even stopped by poor album cover design, which thankfully isn't the case with The Frozen Borderline. Nice one."
Toxic by Britney Spears
1 recommendation
"It was Toxic that got the attention of my ears. What trills me about the song is the way the arrangement moves so confidently through music styles taken from different parts of the globe, and the hyper real production, the video helped as well."
Pleasure by The Ohio Players
1 recommendation
"The Ohio Players have created many seminal hits, Pleasure isn't the album I would run to for their most well known songs, but rater for its scope. This epic Ohio Players album contains some of the deepest smooth grooves, and funkiest funk. The cover is pretty unforgettable as well."
New Values by Iggy Pop
1 recommendation
"New Values would be on my island list, I'd tell you more about why, but I think it's one of those albums that must be experienced. Meanwhile look at that cover image! WTF! Is that Iggy in Ballet class? Love it!"
Ayrton Senna (Bonus Track Version) - EP: Delorean
2 recommendations
"If only for Seasun, it's a song that instantly transforms me into a dancing, happy mood."
New Order Tee
1 recommendation
"This has got to be the greatest piece of officially licensed merchandise for a band that I have seen in ages! This shirt is basted entirely on the cover of New Order's renowned first album Movement. This is a great shirt for any New Order fan. My husband is seething with jealously that this shirt was made for women, and therefore, won't fit him :) A bit of history from wikipedia: The al..."
Cool Struttin' by Sonny Clark
1 recommendation
"Another favorite of mine, an iconic album cover that captures the essence of hard bop in the 60s. I don't know how Pixagogo.com is legally able take copyrighted photography and album art and sell it. But you know what? I'm happy that I can purchase these prints."
No Room For Squares by Hank Mobley
1 recommendation
"Want it!! One of my favorite jazz album covers. I don't know how Pixagogo.com is legally able take copyrighted photography and album art and sell it. But you know what? I'm happy that I can purchase these prints."
Lulu by Lou Reed & Metallica
1 recommendation
"Lou Reed and Metallica's "Lulu" falls from the same tree as Heavy Metal, Prog-Rock, and Opera. Although "Lulu" fits in the tight sonic space Scott Walker cut into pop music, I like to think of "Lulu" as Opera, or a contemporary refection of that genre. On the other hand, "Lulu" could also be looked at as an audio book, which in someways is more exciting. Still I would love to see how "Lulu" might ..."
Seeking Major Tom by William Shatner
1 recommendation
"I love this album, not because William Shatner is the Captain, but because Shatner's tongue-in-cheek vocals are alway filled his trademark melodramatic sincerity that bounce back and forth between beat poetics and comedy. "Seeking Major Tom" could have been grounded by the gravity of the cool pop alternative delivery that performers such as Grace Jones or Lee Hazlewood are known for—and that w..."
TOTAL by New Order / Joy Division
1 recommendation
"TOTAL brings together the best of Joy Division and New Order under one album. I know a lot of you have done your own playlist version, but for the rest of us TOTAL is a chance to have our heads, hearts and bodies joined within the sound made by these two important bands."
Smoke Ring For My Halo by Kurt Vile
1 recommendation
"Sounds like music that could have been playing on some late night radio show while making-out in the car, but you couldn't bring yourself to turn it down or turn it up. I'd love to hear Kim Gordon cover this album."
Elis & Tom by Elis Regina, Antonio Carlos Jobim
1 recommendation
"Such a great album, I think it should win a Grammy every year. Elis Regina beautiful voice is perfect for the music of Antonio Carlos Jobim."
