so we won't drown in the summer sound.

with no berlin wall, what the hell you gonna do?

yeasayer's album, all hour cymbals really is a difficult one to compare to anything else and if a few of the tracks take a while to get into, most hit the spot very well indeed. prime amongst these is the fabulous 2080 - a lament for the planet which rings out over crystal clear production and is topped off with a marvelous multi-person chorus at the end. it is not jawdroppingly good, but it's definitely one of the most refreshing new albums released in 2007.

got my teacher, now carve your niche.

sunday morning, not usually fun for anyone but allow me to try and change that.

raise the bow and aim for crimson dawn..

georgia's baroness blow the lid off their cauldron of hall of fame riffs on their first record for relapse and debut full-length titled red album. with a sound built upon a resolute sense of purpose and shaped by hundreds of explosive live shows, baroness position themselves at the forefront of heavy music with an epic album that is at once powerful, expressive, confident, and commanding.

red album sees the band expand its sonic vision; colossal riffs and haunting vocals roll like thunder across epic songs spanning both the intense and the sublime. as it proves, baroness' formidable reputation proceeds them for a reason.

hey, nice to see you!

i'm going to be using this as a place to serialize my growing music taste in journal/blog form except that you can comment on stuff and i can respond so it's a lot more public. i will be posting links to where you might be able to find some lovely music as recommended by me + maybe sharing other things too.

who knows where this may take me but hopefully you keep with me to find out.

i think to start off i'll explain about the name; pheonix in flight & pheonix in flames are both songs on the converge album, jane doe. it's a very important album to me and i try and recommend it to anyone i think will appreciate it as often as i can.
