Elvis Costello - My Aim Is True and This Year's Model

Elvis Costello, in all his angry, nerdy and literate glory may not look like much, but he's probably one of the most talented songwriters who ever lived.

These two are from his earlier days. They are both phenomenal works of in the pub rock/punk vein. I prefer This Year's Model but they're both so good you'll want them both

Alison is one of the most gorgeous and superbly written (from a lyrical perspective especially) songs ever.

Archers of Loaf - Icky Mettle

One of the lesser heralded indie rock records of the 90s, but absolutely essential. You'll never know how catchy fuzz can be until you hear this.

Plus they're called Archers of Loaf.

Fuckyeah.

Titus Andronicus - The Monitor

Just in case you haven't heard.

Prepare to be simultaneously ruined and then taken out for a couple beers. Loser. :]

The Monitor

Art Bears

Avant-Rock group from Britain in the 70s. Some of the most interesting music I've heard in awhile. Check it bro man dudes

Two releases, Winter Songs and The World As It Is Today. In one release

Love - Forever Changes

One of the best albums of the 60s and an album everyone should listen to. It's a beautiful compendium of stellar psychadelic pop with the addition of elements such as brass and strings. If you like the Beatles (which you should) listen the fuck out of this.

Amon Duul II - Yeti

Spacey, psychadelic rock for people like you and me.



Space out, man
