    *Notes:
    2. I was late in purchasing this album (even though I had a cassette dub of the Richard D. James album and Girl/Boy EP before they were released in the US. Glad I didn't spend import album + import single prices for something that I bought new for $9.99 on one disc). I'm working through which of the songs from this album are good (iPod keepers) and which aren't. This one sounds good, not great, but good enough to keep around. It's one with actual piano.

    3. Keep forgetting to take the Christmas songs off the iPod until next year. The ones I do have are pretty good (like this), so I'm not really bothered.

    4. This is the kids' favorite. I put it on my summer '13 mix for them and so it's on my iPod. If I did a Nibbishy list of total listens to songs, this would definitely be top 5. I'm not a fan of it.

    5. Nice palate-cleanser there, Andy. Thanks, I needed that.

    6. "The Snow" remixed by Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson. Being the first track on the first Coil I bought, this was the first I heard from the band. Almost an a capella of the vocal(?) samples from "The Snow" with concertina (?) samples. Wierd thing for 16-year-old AMR to listen to on the drive back to NU from

    7. The transition from "Today Was a Good Day" into this is the emotional peak of this album and probably all of the music coming from the Rodney King beating, acquittal of the officers, and ensuing riots. (Now I'm thinking in Nibbishy terms again: top hip-hop moment of 1992-1994?)

    8. I thought this was gonna be dark metal sludge, not Demdike Stare or Blackest Ever Black house. I'll give it a few more listens.

    T. Lyrics: "I'm a blunt/ getting smoked/ and I can't wake up./ I'm dreaming/ about being a blunt/ I'm running around/ and I just can't wake up."

    B. This could have made my "Best of 2013" list. This should be pressed on vinyl for club DJs. Plastikman should remix this.

    2. Drukqs is so much longer than it needs to be. I don't know that I could actually get through it the way you are attempting to.

      I like "Vordhosbn" and "Mt Saint Michael" and whichever one is his parents singing Happy Birthday to him.

      1. And that would be the perfect sound for it.
        It was a mild snowstorm (where the main fear is that your eyes fix on the snow blowing across the road instead of the road and you drive into a ditch from Vertigo. ("Driftmix" indeed!) The driving was slow.
        I listened to one of the NIN Closer UK CDSs first. That was my main hope in going there, I missed out on the one-disc US release went for the two-disc when one part showed up at Ernie Novembers. I think I had part 2 first, so I probably listened to Closer CDS1 and then "The Snow EP".

  7. 1. 'A' Bomb in Wardour Street - the Jam - All Mod Cons
    2. Moonlight in Vermont - Frank Sinatra/Red Norvo Quintet - Live in Australia 1959
    3. Sweet Baby James - James Taylor - Sweet Baby James
    4. Westbound Train - Dennis Brown - The Story of Jamaican Music
    5. I Can't Stop Loving You - Ray Charles - Genius & Soul: The 50th Anniversary Collection

    7. Rocky Raccoon - the Beatles - White Album
    8. Thunder Road - Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run
    9. Two Angels - the Jayhawks - Hollywood Town Hall

  10. Instead of posting 10 straight comments, just want to say lots of good music posted in the lists so far today.

  11. The Decemberists - "The Hazards of Love 1 (The Prettiest Whistles Won't Wrestle The Thistles Undone)" The Hazards of Love
    The Rolling Stones - "Let It Bleed" Let It Bleed
    Wilco - "Wilco (The Song)" Wilco (The Album)
    British Sea Power - "No Lucifer" Do You Like Rock Music?
    The Black Keys - "I'm Not The One" Brothers

    The Pogues - "Streams of Whiskey" The Very Best Of The Pogues
    Sufjan Stevens - "Let's Hear That String Part because I Don't Think They Heard It All The Way Out in Bushnell" Illinoise!
    Son Volt - "Methamphetamine" The Search
    Ha Ha Tonka - "Surrounded" Novel Sounds of the Nouveau South
    The Hold Steady - "Lord, I'm Discouraged" Stay Positive

    First three songs are the title tracks of their respective albums. Also, I was thinking that Decemberists' song was my longest song title, until the Sufjan song popped up.

    1. Assuming you have Illinois, (and really, it's going to be weird if you have just the 40 second long interlude without the rest of the album), then it's going to be hard to beat "The Black Hawk War, or, How to Demolish an Entire Civilization and Still Feel Good About Yourself in the Morning, or, We Apologize for the Inconvenience but You're Going to Have to Leave Now, or, 'I Have Fought the Big Knives and Will Continue to Fight Them Until They Are Off Our Lands!'"

      1. Also, I was just listening to that British Sea Power album for the first time in a long time the other day. Still solid, if fairly unremarkable.
