iron and wine - our endless numbered days
the streets - a grand don't come for free
death from above 1979 - you're a woman, i'm a machine

[jrthebassguy]

1. Zao - The Funeral Of God
2. Bad Religion - The Empire Strikes First
3. My New Life - A Sad State Of Affairs
4. Rise Against - Siren Song Of The Counter Culture


Meh, I listed #4 cause it was the only thing I could think of. It's a pretty lame cd, especially compared to their last work.

[Against Will]

In no order, off the top of my head.

-De La Soul "The Grind Date"
-Madvillain "Madvillainy"
-Thaione Davis "situation renaissance" (also #1 on the most slept on albums of 2004)
-Comets On Fire "Blue Cathedral"
-Black Eyes "Cough"

Honorable Mention: Mclusky's "The Difference between Me and You is that I'm not on fire"

And I thought I was the only Iron and Wine fan on this board...pretty good stuff to just veg out to.

[Against Will]

Iron & Wine is good stuff. I like both of the albums of his that I have, "The Creek Drank the Cradle" a little moreso.

[Peter Squire]

Thaione's (pronounced like Taiwan the country) a new cat from Chi-town. The Midwest has been largely ignored by mainstream hip-hop, the underground is giving it a little recognition to the Midwest, but the scene's in Chicago, Minneapolis and Michigan are definately the best-kept secrets of the underground. Typical Cats, Athletic Mic League, Molemen and Blueprint are all on the up and up,hopefully they're get their dues soon.

Here are some T. Davis clips for your listening pleasure.
