Really loved Les Arts Florissants. Good to see they haven't changed their style.

Like I always say" If it ain't Baroque, don't fix it!"


HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I REALLY SAID THAT!

LOL, I try not to STRAUSS over classical music. But I do take it very seriously. I would like to compose a LISZT of all the best composers of all time. I'll be BACH to this thread in a little bit really start listing all the serious business composers. WOOOO!!

I don't listen to classical music very Offenbach :| :n:

Miles Davis - Cookin' at the Plugged Nickel 8/10
Isabelle Faust/Claudio Abbado/Orchestra Mozart - Berg/Beethoven: Violin Concertos 9/10

the lawrence arms - metropole 8/10

really like this record. feels like familiar lawrence arms territory with a few additions to the formula. perhaps i expected a bit more after such a long time between full lengths, but i'm not at all disappointed.

ok so i got high and really listened to this with some damn headphones. some pretty awesome stuff on there. a definite continued evolution for them, especially on tracks like "the ymca down the street from the clinic" and "paradise shitty." maybe an 8.4 now. but i'll let you know after a few more listens.

Clutch - Earth Rocker 8/10

Dum Dum Girls - Too True 7/10

I prefer the previous album, Only in Dreams.

These New Puritans - Field of Reeds 8.5/10

Oh yeah great album, amazing cello. That cello shook me like jello!

Haw haw!

anything el vaq listens to is better than anything you listen to. without question.

Tyler, The Creator - Bastard

I accidentally stumbled across the song "Bastard" while looking for another song, and I really dug it. Had some time on my hands today, so I threw the whole album on in the background. I really dig the lyrics and flow through most of the album. While it was impressive that he was only 17/18 when this album was made AND he made his own beats, some of those beats left a bit to be desired. They hit in nice places, but they're missing SOMETHING in the middle fairly often. Still, an enjoyable listen for a hip hop head.

8/10

Favorite track: "Bastard"

These Are Jokes- Demetri Martin: 8.5/10
King Baby- Jim Gaffigan: 9.7/10
No Cure for Cancer- Dennis Leary: 9/10

Drove a long distance + picked up some comedy to make the trip. These all payed off brilliantly. I recommend all of them.

Death "For all the world to see"-9.5/10

Best album I have heard in years. Not a bad track on it.

Bobholly138 coming out of left field with a solid choice in music

It was the first new album I have bought in close to 5 years. Now if they would just tour near me.

Have you seen the documentary about Death?

Been listening to a bootleg live CD of GG Allin. It is mostly his more country sounding stuff. I wish GG had done more stuff like that. And focused less on the shock stuff.

When he wasn't trying to shock people he put out some good to great music.

yeah the doc was really good. my buddy showed it to me and i was hooked.

i've always been rather indifferent to gg allin, though.

Ulf Wallin/Roland Pontinen - Hindemith: Complete Violin Sonatas 8/10
