![[Image: 220px-Moo_You_Bloody_Choir_Cover.jpg]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Moo_You_Bloody_Choir_Cover.jpg) AUGIE MARCH "moo.you.bloody.choir" cd, 2006 Aussie alt-folk/indi-rock/alt band. third album of six, I own four. their first top10 album in their homeland (reaching #10). nothing bad on the album, also nothing great, just a steady consistent album. I LIKE THIS ALBUM favourite:

![[Image: 220px-U2-all-that-you-cant-leave-behind.jpg]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:U2-all-that-you-cant-leave-behind.jpg) U2 "all that you cant leave behind" cd, 2000 their tenth album 12 million sales worldwide produced by Eno and Lanois got this one out of a discount bin for a couple of bucks for the couple of tracks I like two questions: how the heck did they manage to release those albums (14 in total)? and... how are they still selling multi-million sellers? gotta be one of the most overrated bands of all time alongside Radiohead, Muse, Portishead and Coldplay. but seriously, three maybe four half decent tracks on here, that's it I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM fave:

![[Image: 220px-What_Are_Rock_Stars_Doing_by_Magic_Dirt.png]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:What_Are_Rock_Stars_Doing_by_Magic_Dirt.png) MAGIC DIRT "what are rock stars doing today" cd, 2000 from the box of cds I was given last year. Aussie alt/grunge band third album reaching #35 on the Aussie charts. not enough oomph to be grunge slick polished cat turd IMO, borders emo crap nothing on here at all I remotely like I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

![[Image: 220px-Augie_march_strange_bird.jpg]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Augie_march_strange_bird.jpg) AUGIE MARCH "strange bird" cd, 2002 Aussie alternative band. second album and my favourite of the four I own. borders more on folk/alt-folk than simply alternative on this one. a couple of songs even have a jazz feel. a very very good album, in fact.... I LOVE THIS ALBUM

Been listening to DeerMx for a couple of months now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GrsFrJhjKw They're an Alternative, Trip Hop, Industrial band. I really like that this song has a theme about "wetbacks" and immigration policies and some good power chords! I've been listening to DeerMx for a couple of months now. They're a Trip Hop, Industrial, Alternative Rock band. I really like that they're a mexican couple and that they live in Hong Kong. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GrsFrJhjKw Love me this song!

Some music has me puzzled. This quartet of lovely ladies are blessed with musical & vocal skills but somehow after a few tracks I felt like giving them all a good dose of cociane to get them moving. Nice in an innocuous way but I eventually lost interest.

If memory serves me right this is a cover of a R.E.M. number given a Pakistani twist.

![[Image: 220px-Bowie_Hours.jpg]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bowie_Hours.jpg) DAVID BOWIE "hours" cd, 1999 his twenty-first studio set his first since 1972 not to make the US top40 but as usual, makes the top10 in his homeland (peaking at #5). first half of the album is subdued, the second half more grungy. love the songs on the first half, can take or leave the other tracks, not that theyre bad, there's just not much in them for me. that aside, this was the first album in music history to be made available as a digital download. album is passable but nowhere near his best. I LIKE THIS ALBUM favourite track and one of my favourites of his. some people look cool in whatever theyre wearing...

![[Image: 220px-SonikKicks.jpg]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:SonikKicks.jpg) PAUL WELLER "sonic kicks" cd.vinyl 2012 eleventh solo album. a deliberate pick to see how it has fared over eight years. hated this one with a passion when released. although the album peaked at #1 in his homeland it wasn't a huge seller selling less than 85,000 copies making it one of the worst sellers of his career. too electronic in places (influenced by '70s Kraut Rock and Bowie's "low"). album was better this time round, probably enjoyed half the album. that makes it a borderline like/dislike at this stage. favourite has a very Blur/Damon Albarn feel to it:
