Tonight :Franz Ferdinand
3 recommendations
"I've never been a glowing fan of Franz Ferdinand. I like, but just whatever. However, I have a floating policy to listen albums that get a 7 plus on pitchfork. This one pulled in at a 7.3. I haven't bought it yet, but I'm listening to some track on MySpace right now and I'm pleasantly grooving to them."
Billy Idol: Billy Idol
1 recommendation
"Billy Idol, a post punk, new wave musician that took the 80's by storm with gnarly music videos made popular by MTV and VH1. Drugs, Sex and Rock and Roll never looked so good when he was around. Billy Idol features such songs as "Rebel Yell," "White Wedding," and "Dancing with Myself" (danced by Darling Stilettos at Les Deux)."
The Best of New Order: New Order
1 recommendation
"Off of Factory Label Records, New Order along with Joy Division were two of the most successful and popular bands in the 80's. Mancherster's most prominent alternative, new wave quartet, New Order fused together brilliants sounds of post punk and electronic dance with amazing synthetic sounds. (the best of) New Order features such songs as "Age Consent" (heard in "Marie Antoinette"), "Blue Mon..."
Teaches of Peaches: Peaches
1 recommendation
"A Canadian electroclash musician, Peaches is a one woman production where she programs, plays and writes her own music. Her music has been featured in Mean Girls, My Little Eye and is most notable in Lost in Translation, which aired one of her most famous tracks "Fuck the Pain Away" (also played at Les Deux)."
Joy Division: Grant Gee
1 recommendation
"It's a beautiful film, all 96 Minutes are packed full glistening image and sound, the story of the rise of Joy Division is a postmodern fable worthy of the biggest screen you can find."
Entertainment: Gang of Four
1 recommendation
"Gang of Four came on hot and heavy on their early recordings, "Entertainment" contains many of their signature pre-Euro tracks, the sound is all raw energy, perfect for dancing or smelting in a Black Sea hotel."
Make Up the Breakdown: Hot Hot Heat
2 recommendations
"These guys make damaged look fun. "Bandages" is the story of a truly sordid love gone awry, while "Talk To Me, Dance With Me" is a great, catchy song about modern courtship and who really drives a relationship. I'm also a big fan of "Get In or Get Out". Great Saturday night record."
154: Wire
1 recommendation
"The third Wire album, and the last in the cycle of their amazing 70s albums. Released to wide critical acclaim, it marks probably the height of both their popularity and creative zenith. Filled with amazing post-punk songs, all now over 2mn in length, Wire had arrived."
Pink Flag: Wire
1 recommendation
"This is a crazy good album. And the most insane thing is the number of songs in the amount of time there is in the album. 23 songs in 39mn. 6 songs clock in at under 1mn and 10 of them don't break the 2mn mark.. They're incredibly energetic bits of punk, but on the poppier side of punk rather than rawer. All angular guitars and half-shouty lyrics."
Chairs Missing: Wire
1 recommendation
"Wire makes amazing punk (or maybe just slightly post-punk) music. Some of it is almost popy in it's catchiness and charm, but there's still plenty of energy to spare. The songs are still angular, edgy and fascinating, although many of them are "long" by Wire standards."
Boy: U2
1 recommendation
"Terrific debut album. U2's early music was punk-y and driven, and this album exemplifies the fire and drive they had even then. Really catchy songs like "Electric Co" and "I Will Follow" balance with more mellow moments like "Into the Heart" and "The Ocean"."
Shotter's Nation: Babyshambles
3 recommendations
"Musically and lyrically much stronger than the debut and follow-up EP, Shotter's Nation sees Pete Doherty really returning to the level of music-writing that he was known for in the Libertines. I still don't think either party will be quite complete without the other, but it's going to be tough for Carl Barat's band, Dirty Pretty Things, to match this sophomore release."
Get Awkward: Be Your Own Pet
2 recommendations
"Be your own pet: one of the best new female fronted garage rock bands and they've just released a new album. Get awkward features the band's signature angry, yet somehow lyrical scream-like-your-mad-but-loving-it vocals set against some pretty awesome guitar riffs. Don't think that just because its a girl singing its going to be all pop-punk emotional ballads, because its most certainly not. If yo..."
The Gossip - Standing In the Way of Control
1 recommendation
"Great, great album. Beth Ditto is a powerful singer with a great voice, even when she's completely in your face. Tons of energy in killer songs. Some songs sit somewhere between aggressive and dance-friendly, while others are more garage-rock. Smart lyrics don't shy away from bold statements either."
There Is a Moth in Your Chest: Mason Proper
1 recommendation
"This album is AMAZING. I have to promote it, because well, the band IS from my small hometown in Northern Michigan, but aside from that they are truly a fantastic band. They have a completely unique sound, but have been compared to Modest Mouse/Weezer. Every song on the album is its own perfect little composition and different from the next. One song will have you dancing around, and the next ..."
Joy Division - Heart and Soul [BOX SET]
3 recommendations
"Joy Division only existed for 4 years, but their music continues to influence bands to this day. This boxset contains nearly all the tracks the band have recorded - two albums (Unknown Pleasures, Closer), singles, rare demos and live recordings, all digitally remastered. Includes a booklet w/th biography, live performances and pictures. A must-have for Joy Division fans."
Sur Les Traces de Black Eskimo ~ Les Georges Leningrad
1 recommendation
"Les Georges Leningrad is not for everyone, but I don't care, sure it's on the difficult listing cannel, but so is the The Residents record (Eskimo) that inspired "Sur Les Traces de Black Eskimo". I've only seen Les Georges Leningrad twice, and after the first 10 minutes of (what the f*ck is this), I feel in love with them and wanted to run away and join their circus."
Laughing Gasping by Wet Confetti
1 recommendation
"The new record from Wet Confetti, whose bassist/singer is Alberta Poon from the cuter-than-cute Frozen Peas Accessories line. The album's produced by Dave Allen from Gang of Four, and the songs and sort of dark and synthy but superdancey at the same time."
The Body, the Blood, the Machine
3 recommendations
"these guys, & girl, put on a hell of a show. this, their newest release, is fun to listen to all the way thru no matter what mood you're in. not your typical "punk" record, but still chock full of power chords and the like."
Pierced bowls and cups
3 recommendations
"I want to call these post-punk eatware. They're fun and say a bit about your personality. If I had a cafe, I'd probably use a few of these just for kicks."
Marquee Moon ~ Television
1 recommendation
"I love the song "Marquee Moon" it's mostly a hook that seems to go on forever"
