I see you like Leftover Crack. I really like them and saw them live. I recommend the new album by Strike Anywhere, 'Nightmares of the West'. I have it on CD, so I can't link it to you, but you can probably find it on You tube.

I still prefer physical music to music on my phone, and I prefer to listen to a whole album rather than tracks because I see completel albums as pieces of art, rather than just reducing them to tracks.

It's rare these days for an album new to me to really get under my skin, but this one keeps giving. (less whispering here @jamalrob)

:up:

I know Strike Anywhere - I didn't realize they were still around! Will give that a spin.

ahhm, Haven't listened to UNKLE in aggess.

CL:

100 % recommended. Try it even if you don't speak the language.

"Rudie Can't Fail" (3:26)

The Clash

A high school senior on December 8, 1980 hanging out with friends late on a Monday night in NYC, my best friend J-P sped off and then suddenly squealed his tires in a frantic u-turn and pulled up yelling "JOHN LENNON IS DEAD" over and over again until the shock sunk in. I don't remember anything else from that night or the days, weeks, that followed, except for ... "I read the news today, oh boy / About a lucky man who made the grade" ...

:up: love NIN

Essential regardless of your music taste, in my view.

Well...if you say so.

I do. :joke:

Lol, now that I’m awake, I see I misunderstood you. I thought you were saying Kimbra was essential.

Haha. Sadly no, Kimbra is not essential...I like her music, and that's my favorite track of hers, but it's atypical for her. But as far as vaguely neo-soul-inflected pop goes, she's pretty solid.

NiN on the other hand...essential, no matter your taste. But at the same time, it's not for everyone...
