Ben Harper: Live from Mars just clicked on. **** this is a good album.

[AlexMc]

Indeed. I used to lament that it wasn't one show recorded however the tracks as a collection are great.

[Scottt]

Live from Mars is cool.

Glory and Consequence is a brilliant song, and Mama's Got a Girlfriend, Excuse Me Mr... it was the first thing my missus ever bought me.

I am really enjoying Broken Bells.

[adlo]

Adlo would be proud of me, listening to Mumford and Sons

You have done well Bruce. I am very proud.

Life From Mars is pretty sweet. Harper lost the magic not long after that.

Broken Bells is also pretty great Scottt. I am really liking it too.

Went and saw Dirty Projectors at the Rosemount last night. Great show. NOT what I was expecting. They are pretty heavy live, which is not what you expect from their CDs. However, it was brilliant. They work together so well as a band. The album makes a lot more "sense" after seeing them live.

[Scottt]

It occurred to me yesterday that for someone who is about as big a fanboy of The Shins as it is possible to be, I didn't really like any of their albums the first time I listened to them.

Kind of had the same experience with Broken Bells, but now having had 2-3 listens it is sounding awesome!

The Mall & Misery is awesome (but always makes me think of Robyn on How I Met Your Mother having a teen hit with that "Let's All Go To The Mall" song).

[AlexMc]

Got The Vasco Era's "Lucille" today - excellent album. Second best Oz album of the year thus far (it is no Eddy Cuz...).

[Yossarian]

I haven't actually heard any of their new stuff, I caught them, the vasco era that is, live once and was blown away. What is it like in relation to the first album?

[Yossarian]

Been out for a while but some of JC's stuff has got me listening to a bit of "that music."

[LarryLong]

A touch of nostalgia has me listening to Trip Shakespeare again.

[Bruce]

This is a goofy love song that I can't stop smiling about and singing along to.

[LarryLong]

That's awfully catchy. I could see myself buying the album.

[Yossarian]

That is kind of cool. In a napoleon dynamite kind of way.

AndyP, I can't remember where we discussed it, perhaps in the CD swap thread, but after some investigation, I have to disagree with you.

Alphabetical is easily the worst Phoenix album I have, WAP and It's Never Been Like That are much better. However, it doesn't surprise me that it is your favourite.

I have been enjoying revisiting the Elbow discography.. A few songs are insanely good. At the moment I am loving Mirrorball and The Stops.

I think I stated "Alphabetical > WAP" here, then mentioned it again in the swappy thread. Thanks for following up.

WAP and Alphabetical are the only two I have at this stage. I didn't like WAP at first, but it does slowly grow on you. But if it takes this long for an album to be liked, it's not worth it.

I'd appreciate a Courty comment on this.

[adlo]

I love albums that grow on you.

However, I would say INBLT fits somewhere in the middle. You would like it.

[Courty]

I'd appreciate a Courty comment on this.

Can't be of much assistance in this case. I like them all equally.

[Jarro]

Digging out the old Queen albums tonight (Queen, A Night At The Opera)

Great stuff

[AndyP]

That's a comment then.

[ddasey]

Slash's new album.

So far so good....

[Jarro]

Slash's new album.

So far so good....

So Dave, is it worthwhile 'acquiring' the new Slash album or not ?

[ddasey]

So Dave, is it worthwhile 'acquiring' the new Slash album or not ?

I may be a little biased, but yeah it's worth acquiring.

The album is filled with big names as lead singers including Iggy Popp & Ozzy Osborne to name a few.

Ok, i'll take a look at it.

I was always a little partial to Slash when he was grinding it out with the gunners in the early days

Listening to heaps of Tears for Fears, seeing them in a coupla weeks.

Adlo - end up making it to the Pixies gig last month? Listening to the recording of the show I saw in Sydney...unbelievable gig...

No, bad timing for me with the new business opening, everything has been on hold in life.

A good mate went, and bloody loved it. He has a recording of the show I will grab off him.
