Formats

When I was sitting on the bus home today I wondered why things went the way they did. Why I had guilt about going home, why my needs seem to excess the normal citizen's need and why my (our) blog only has two followers.
And then I came across the thought that I/we don't change the output format of the albums we upload, we simply mirror links we find. True, both me and Filip don't really burn when it comes to the blog, but I feel like I could take the time and effort to actually convert the albums I upload into a better format.
However, the issue here is that my internet connection is so bad that I can't upload a zip-file without experiencing several crashes of my web browser, so the blog will probably not be active for a while.

Wether it'll be a standard MP3-format with 320 k/bps, v/o or FLAC I'll have to ponder on further. It's fucking late over here.

Hint on next post; it's gonna be America space rock.

Alias & Tarsier

Just one of many great artists/groups that I've found through anticon records.

Crystal Castles

Critically acclaimed bitpop group from Toronto.

s/t - 2008
(II) - 2010

PJ Harvey

So I'm in a bad mood today, so I decided to further torture myself by listening to the queen of angst; PJ Harvey.
The album in question is the woman's absolutely perfect debut-album "Dry".

Dry - 1992

Panda Bear

Panda Bear is Noah Lennox's solo-project, he also stars in Animal Collective.

s/t - 1998
Young Prayer - 2004
Person Pitch - 2007

Neil Young

Yesterday, I asked my dad what he thought of Bob Dylan. He quickly replied that the guy's very overrated, stuck in the same loop, awful live and that he's a lot like Neil Young. I quickly realised that I'd forgotten about that old piece of moss, that whiny old redneck, that absolutely eternal and immortal rocker.
I immediatley sat down with his greatest hits record and got lost, this man is beyond pretty much all the country music and 60's rock that's ever been released.
Even the material he wrote in Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young is briliant, the solos, the beautiful vocals and the man's great songwriting has truly delivered him to the place he deserves to be; the top.

I'm only going to post his 60's and 70's albums, since I think this is the best place to start off. I'll have to upload some of my own Young albums since I coudn't find some stuff on the web.
I also didn't include any stuff featuring Crazy Horse.

s/t - 1968
Everybode Knows That This is Nowhere - 1969
After the Gold Rush - 1970
Harvest - 1972
Time Fades Away - 1973
On the Beach - 1974
Tonight's the Night
American Stars 'N Bars - 1977
Comes a Time - 1978

Black Bloc

In the vein of my latest post, I'll post some more sweet noise.
The group being advertised today is called Black Bloc, and it's a pretty hateful group, even for noise standards.

Tortured screams and ear-piercing feedback makes this a challenging, but definitely satisfying listen if you manage to get through it.
The guys in the group are also kind enough to give away their entire dischography for free, so there's no reason to not download all of their stuff.
