Stereolab – Not Music (2010)

Formed in 1990 in London, England… apparently one of the first bands to be considered “post-rock”. I just think they’re fucking awesome!

World’s End Girlfriend – Seven Idiots (2010)

Holy Shit, I’m super excited about this record. I literally just found it about 20min ago, scanned through all the tracks and got myself a chubby. This guy is fucking amazing and even more so live. Once again this is an act I’ve seen at The Grog Shop in Cleveland Ohio, he opened up for Mono in 2008 and I have to admit that Mono does put on a lovely live act (take some Percocet) World’s End Girlfriend blew me away. He’s a one man band capable of fucking anything you can think of. I’m not positive but I think he was playing to a rhythm that was playing out of one of the many MAC Books on stage, recording what he was playing into another MAC Book, looping that, playing to the loops and recording them over and over again. It was fucking fantastic. He seems to be one of those acts that is never the same and only plays a few of the LP tracks during his shows and everything else is improvised. Im calling it now, this will be on my top 5 for the year!!!

Russian Circles - Enter (2006)

This is one of my favorite records of all time and it really pains me to say that their later releases aren’t nearly as powerful as this one. Favorite track is “Death Rides A Horse”. Take note during the breakdown, you can literally picture a Viking battle with erupting volcanoes and pterodactyls coming down through the debris… this one is most enjoyed with another friend on the East Side of Cleveland and a few King Cobras or Laser 40s.
