Wedding present Seamonsters for rockin' (although that wasn't done at Electrical though? does that count)
and Nina Nastasia "the blackened air" for quiet stuff.

Bob: Shipping News' Flies the Fields is one of the most amazing sounding records ever. All the Polvo stuff, too.

Steve: My favorite is easily Surfer Rosa. That fucking drum sound, those guitars. Holy shit.

Now's where everyone cyber-kicks my ass for liking the Pixies.

Always had a soft smelly spot for "Ocean Songs" by the Dirty Three.

Amazing recording.

I thought they recorded that themselves at Zero Return?

Thankfully, they're one of the only 2 good Irish bands. And the other one isn't U2, The Cranberries, or the fucking Corrs.

Stewie, do you not like Therapy?(?)

I was listening to Troublegum last night.

"a sun that never sets" by neurosis.

dio mio.

i think Nina Nastasia's "Blackened Air" is the best sounding recording I have ever heard. It is astounding.

The new Make Believe sounds quite stellar as well.

Good call, gaetano. Also, Silverfish' "Fat Axl", a record that I only recently purchased.
