Album 1:
1. Bishop Allen "Charm School"
2. As a pitchfork reviewer said: it's like taking Modest Mouse and sticking them in a Chuck-E-Cheese ball pit for a week to record an album.
3. Undeniably delicious, catchy tunes that I think most anyone would like.
Album 2:
1. Big Smith: "Big Smith"
2. They're a bunch of boys from around here that I listened to constantly throughout college. This is bluegrass done hillbilly style.
3. You'll dig it because you like bluegrass.
Album 3:
1. Flaming Lips, "Soft Bulletin"
2. It's the Lips for god's sakes.
3. You probably have it. If not, get it. The greatness preceded Yoshimi.
Album 4:
1. Linton Kwesi Johnson: "Dread, Beat, and Blood."
2. Political reggae/dub that's unlike anything I'd ever heard before.
3. It's like taking Bob Marley and arming him with an AK-47 and the Communist Manifesto. Extremely interesting stuff, and definitely listenable too.
I'll add some more later after I take a look at my CD case.
