Aqualung - Memory Man

21st Century Singer-Songwriterism, with some Alternative Rock tendencies...

What Thom Yorke might sound like if he were a Singer-Songwriter.

Edwyn Collins - Home Again

Recent solo effort from ex-Orange-Juice-er.

Suffered a severe brain hemorrhage between recording & mixing of this album, but appears to be on the road to recovery.

A superior songwriter that doesn't seem to have had the success he deserves, although he has a reputation for being a bit difficult, so perhaps things are as they should be ?!

Over the last coupla days...

Elvis Perkins - Elvis Perkins in Dearland

Moody Alt-Americana from Norman Bates' son !!!

&

Siouxsie & The Banshees - The Seven Year Itch

The most recent live Banshees record. Not as good as Nocturne IMV, but still highly enjoyable

&

Iggy Pop - Preliminaires

Iggy's obviously a Rock performer, but this CD isn't Rock (although there are a couple of normal Iggy-type songs). It contains French chansons, Jazz, Blues etc etc.

Most unexpected for an Iggy album, but a qualified success IMHO.

Coincidence ^

The Stooges - The Stooges

Not strictly Punk as I understand it, but it will fit in here OK.

1969 debut, which is certainly good, but perhaps not as good as its' reputation...

I'm listening to Let it Be (originally by the beatles) but the punk version by 101 Rocks!
It's actually pretty cool.

The Decemberists - The Hazards of Love

[Image: 51Fub-7RRVL._SS500_.jpg]
Alt-Folk-Rock ?!

Vocals (& to some extent, the music) are very reminiscent of The Levellers. Best new record I've heard for a while, & for the record, I don't detect much of the Prog-Rock influences the critics keep mentioning.

&

Throwing Muses - House Tornado/The Fat Skier

[Image: 41G29BJHJAL._SS500_.jpg]

The Muses' 2nd album, packaged with an earlier EP. I'm a sucker for this band, and this is their typical jangly Pop-Punk.

Kristin Hersh for President !!!

I was going to say the other day that I agreed about The Stooges first record and that Fun House was miles better.

"Kill the Poor" - Dead Kennedys

Over the past few days, I've been getting into something called "dark cabaret" or "punk cabaret".
Some of the artists I've been listening to are:
The Dresden Dolls
Amanda Palmer
Jill Tracy
HUMANWINE
Pretty Balanced

It's actually really good.(:
