N.E.R.D. - In Search Of... Mar 12, 2002 Virgin One of the best Hip-Hop albums that nobody herd...Its my favourite for sure..I love the use of Live Drums and how a majority of the album was recorded using live instruments..I first got into N.E.R.D. after watching the move XXX with Vin Diesel..cause Truth Or Dare was on the soundtrack... N.E.R.D. -Run To The Sun N.E.R.D. - Bobby James N.E.R.D. -Things Are Getting Better N.E.R.D. -Rock Star SUPERFRIENDZ - Mock Up, Scale Down 1995 Murderecords Another act introduced to me by Sloan...Once nominated for a juno, Mock Up Scale Down should be in everyone`s collection...I remember I used to love the video`s for 10lbs and Karate Man..you can tell they were made with no $ but were hilarious...often just showing shots of the band being goofs..Ohh and incase you didn`t know Chris Murphy used to play drums for em... The Superfriendz -Karate Man The Superfriendz -10 Lbs The Superfriendz -Dear Old Ireland The Superfriendz -Better Call The Superfriendz -Restricted ELLIOTT SMITH - S/T Jul 21, 1995 Kill Rock Stars I never bought this album...I always just had Mp3`s from it...Until me and Patricia went to NY for our 1st anniversay...and I finally bought it...we listened to it a lot on the trip and now whenever I hear it it reminds me of NY City...Also hilarious to see Elliott with blonde hair on the back picture.. Elliott Smith -Satellite Elliott Smith -Christian Brothers Elliott Smith -The White Lady Loves You More Elliott Smith -Southern Belle NADA SURF - Let Go Oct 15, 2002 Barsuk Nada Surf had a big hit with the song "Popular" in the 90`s...I personally had labeled them as a one hit wonder...then I decided to give Let Go a try..I take it back..they are absolutly not a one hit wonder and this album proves it.. Nada Surf -Happy Kid Nada Surf -Blizzard Of 77 Nada Surf -Hi-Speed Soul CHAD VANGAALEN - Infiniheart Aug 23, 2005 Subpop Chad is much more than a brilliant songwrighter...He`s also a good artist as well...I read in an interview somewhere that he wanted to draw first and sing second...Most of this album was recorded in his apt....with him playing a majority of the instruments.. Chad VanGaalen -Clinicly Dead Chad VanGaalen -Blood Machine Chad VanGaalen -Kill Me In My Sleep Chad VanGaalen -Traffic

Hey guys...Sorry about the lack of post yesterday...as some of you may or may not know? I went to see Mew the other night at The Mod Club...awesome show...The sound was amazing and they had two big screens playing videos while they played....here`s some shots... LOCAL RABBITS - Basic Concept 1998 Murderecords I can safely say that this is my 2nd favourite album of all time...A very mature album from these boys from Montreal...this is like my "Pet Sounds". I love the use of the Fender Rhodes and the duel guitar solo`s...also Ben has a sweet falsetto voice. Local Rabbits -Lowdown On The Download Local Rabbits -Keep It Down Local Rabbits -When You Return Local Rabbits -This Lengthly Glance FRANZ FERDINAND - S/T Mar 9, 2004 Domino Not going to lie to you I had this album way before Franz hit the big time..It actually got a little annoying hearing it on the radio after I overplayed the album myself...still a classic though Franz Ferdinand -Take Me Out Franz Ferdinand -This Fire Franz Ferdinand -Tell Her Tonight Franz Ferdinand -Come On Home RUFUS WAINWRIGHT - S/T May 19, 1998 DreamWorks When I grew up I loved the movie Tommy Tricker and the Stamp traveler...A canadian film about these kids who go to china to get stamps...Little did I know at the time that Rufus was in the movie and was nominated for a Genie for the soundtrack...I`m glad I enjoy his music as much today as I did when I was little.. Rufus Wainwright -April Fools Rufus Wainwright -Millbrook Rufus Wainwright -Danny Boy KINGS OF CONVENIENCE - Riot On An Empty Street Jul 27, 2004 Astralwerks This album is basically a part two of Quiet Is The New Loud (1st album) but I think this one is a little happier and more pop then the first..The addition of Leslie Fiest on a few tracks is also very cool Kings Of Convenience -I`d Rather Dance With You Kings Of Convenience -Love Is No Big Truth Kings Of Convenience -Misread KINGS OF LEON - Aha Shake Heartbreak Feb 22, 2005 RCA I didn`t like this CD at first and was sad cause I thought KOL were going to end up a 1 album wonder...I gave it another chance and I`m glad I did cause I now like this one better then the first.. Kings Of Leon -King Of The Rodeo Kings Of Leon -Taper Jean Girl Kings Of Leon -Slow Night, Slow Long DEATH FROM ABOVE 1979 - You're a Woman, I'm a Machine Oct 26, 2004 Last Gang/Vice Its too bad these guys called it quits...Yeah MSTRKRFT is good and the Remix album is OK, but this album is DFA at their best...I must admit it was the album art that got me into them at first.. Death From Above 1979 -Romantic Rights Death From Above 1979 -Blood On Our Hands Death From Above 1979 -Little Girl CRANBERRIES - No Need To Argue 1994 Island My best friend and I have a special bond with this album...you would never know it but we can probably sing the whole CD...It reminds me of our friendship and growing up..I used to have a big crush on Dolores The Cranberries -Zombie The Cranberries -The Icicle Melts The Cranberries -Ridicilious Thoughts DEPECHE MODE - Violator Feb 1990 Sire I got into Depeche Mode very early. While most of my buddies were into Vanilla Ice and Kris Kross ..I was getting into Depeche Mode...My sister loves these songs..(Mel..Download these tracks if you don`t have em already) Depeche Mode -Enjoy The Silence Depeche Mode -Policy Of Truth Depeche Mode -Personal Jesus NAUGHTY BY NATURE - S/T Sep 3, 1991 Tommy Boy I used to hide this cassette tape when I was a kid...I loved the album but I was afraid of my parents finding it..cause I was like 12 at the time and the Parental Advisory sticker on the front woulda made my parents flip... Naughty By Nature -O.P.P Naughty By Nature -Everything`s Gonna Be Alright Naughty By Nature -Yoke The Joker RADIOHEAD - OK Computer July 1, 1997 Capitol Man I don`t even have to talk about this one cause its on sooo many top lists out there...I will say thank you to my loving GF who bought it for me on Vinyl.. Radiohead -Paranoid Android Radiohead -Karma Police Radiohead -Let Down
