What Are You Listening To?

[Tiggi]

Could only include four images in previous post, so:

CocoRosie - The Adventures of Ghosthorse & Stillborn



Delightfully off-kilter Alt. something or other.

Another beautiful record...

[Tiggi]

The Cramps - Off The Bone


Brilliantly Punked-up B-Movie Rockabilly.

Vocalist Lux Interior died in the last few months...

[Tiggi]

Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavillion


Another play for this recent release...

&

Wire - Pink Flag


Very early UK Post-Punk.

Lots of short sharp songs. This is very close to actually going into the Punk section.

&

The Ward Brothers - Wave Goodbye to Grandma



One of two of their albums that I have. Never really made a ripple, & I've no idea if they're still in existence.

Well keyboarded Alt Rock/Pop. Vocalist has a good voice.

&

Midlake - The Trials of Van Occupanther


Excellent, largely acoustic album which references 70's West-Coast Rock.

[Tiggi]

Magnolia Electric Co. - Sojourner



4-disc set of top quality Alt-Country in a very nice wooden box !!

[SS76]

Tom Waits is a genius. I haven't listened to that record yet, but I highly recommend "Closing Time", "Small Change" & "Rain Dogs".

[SS76]

Green Day's "21 Guns"

[Tiggi]

Iggy Pop - Lust For Life


Iggy & David's high water mark...

[Tiggi]

This Mortal Coil - It'll End in Tears



Mixture of originals & left-field covers from this collaboration by members of the 4AD roster.

Predominantly Cocteau Twins personnel, with some help from Dead Can Dance & others, this is a fairly minimalist exploration of ethereal, Gothic music.

[Tiggi]

Iggy Pop - The Idiot


(Slightly) older brother to the above. This one's a bit more experimental, but still consistently good.

[Tiggi]

Meat Puppets - Sewn Together


My own copy...
