[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.

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)

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]

yay for iron and wine, the streets came close to me top 5 also.

[bbourgon]

1) Hellborg/Buckethead/Shrieve - "Octave of the Holy Innocents" (Reissue)
2) Bjork - "Medula"
3) Mike Watt -"The Secondman's Middle Stand"
4) Antibalas - "Who Is This America?"
5) CCBBB - "The Big Eyeball in the Sky"

what news?

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.
