Aside from the "Daniel" song, I was disappointed by the new Bat For Lashes album. Until I heard it at Jon Iverson's place. There, it sounded AMAZING. Funny how a system can change your opinion of an album.

Gonjasufi: A Sufi and A Killer

I don't want to overreact or anything, but this might be amazing. "She Gone," for instance, sounds like the Beatles fronted by Snoop Dogg imitating Tom Waits.

No, it's really good. It reminds me of Leila's Blood, Looms, and Blooms in its massive, masterful fusion of genres. You can stream the whole thing.

Midlake-- the courage of others.

all badass

I'm a little like Sen. Larry Craig. I take a wide stance... for good music, anyway.

Nat King Cole - a four cd collection from Capitol from a few years back

Hank Williams Revealed - more goodness from the estate, released through Time-Life

King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King, 2009 remix

Exile - Radio, still. Amazing hip hop/found music.

Enjoying the new batch of old-fashioned love songs from She & Him. You can stream the whole thing at NPR.

And the new one from The Tallest Man On Earth, The Wild Hunt, is good, too. Comparisons to Dylan are unavoidable.

Just sampled a bit of Tallest Man's first album.

Wow. He can write.

Thanks,

"Funny how a system can change your opinion of an album."

Or perhaps the mood you were in at that time?

King Crimson rules!

Recent stuff:
Meshuggah - Alive
Jimi Hendrix - Valleys of Neptune

Quote:

Yes, your mood can play a big role in how you perceive and enjoy music. I tried the Bat For Lashes album on a few different occasions at home, and was always slightly disappointed. But when listening at Jon's place, I was very impressed. Can't say for sure what it was. Could have been his system, could have been the California air. I think it was mostly his system, though, which excels in drama and impact and in creating extremely large, tight images.

How is that new Hendrix??

I think it is pretty good, but I

It's strange - hard not to love Hendrix if you grew up in the era. But over the last few years (including 'Neptune') I keep wanting the vocals to just...go away.

Also, the version of 'Sunshine' goes on, as others have pointed out.

From Amazon: "Digitally remastered and expanded two disc (CD/DVD) edition of the Prog Rock band's classic 1974 album, released to coincide with King Crimson's 40th anniversary."

So, kinda.
