There were only 550 copies of the Calexico 'Road Atlas' vinyl set released in the US and they sold out quickly. On Ebay for ungodly prices. I haven't opened mine yet...
I agree about the Atlas Sound 'Parallax' LP. Sort of a continuation of Deerhunter's equally excellent 'Halcyon Digest'. Very well recorded vinyl with huge soundstage. |
Road Atlas, a compilation of B-sides that they issued with each tour. "Griptape" is a new favorite. |
I would add Christina Perri's debut album Lovestrong to this list. Highly recommended. |
Rok2id, even a stopped clock is right sometime. |
"Rok2id, even a stopped clock is right sometime."
And some clocks are right all the time. |
While we haven't agreed on much, we certainly agree on this. The music forum isn't even a music forum, I'm sure you know where I'm coming from. |

Speaking of music, a few good ones.
Bach Concertos - Julia Fischer / ASMF
Labi Siffre - So Strong
Cannonball Adderley Sextet - Dizzy's Business |
I enjoyed Danger Mouse's Rome a lot, but have not been able to pry his collaboration with The Shins' lead singer, self-titled Broken Bells, out of any musical source of mine. I recommend you fine gentlemen all check it out. |
Agree Adamaley, Broken Bells is one of my all time favorite
albums! I listened to this album for months straight in my car. Now, I am hooked on all Bon Iver |
Todd, Broken Bells actually got me out of my Bon Iver loop, which I was afflicted with since last summer. Two great artists, all the same. |
Just ordered Broken Bells, another titled "Please, Please, Please", a tribute to The Smiths, and Heritage Blues Orchestra's "& Still I Rise" |
Really like the new Horrors Skying and Jonathan Wilson's Gentile Spirit albums. Nice retro sounds. The Horrors sound like classic Simple Minds and Wilson recalls the CA singer songwriter period. |
I wore that Horrors album out...good stuff. More of a Psychedelic Furs sound than what I'm used to from them. |
Rja - Thanks for starting this wonderful thread. Thanks to many (Richard Stacy) for the great suggestions. Just listened/watched the You Tube video of Deep Dark Woods doing Ballad of Frank Dupree. Love their sound and feel. Love those hollow bodies and that Hammond. Great stuff. |
If you like jazz guitar, another CD I found and really liked in 2011 was Jonathan Kreisbergs "Shadowless". Very nice IMO. |
Another CD I found in 2011 is "The Green Children". Not my style but I like it anyway! 8^) I believe they only have one CD out but many downloads are available. |
Lana Del Rey. Amazing vox on Video Games. |
