Tobacco - Maniac Meat (2010)
Amazing followup to his first album! The track featuring Beck might be the best thing he’s done since Sea Change.

Rangers - Suburban Tour (2010)
“Rangers is Joe Knight from Dallas, Texas. He makes cosmic tape collages that are heavily rhythmic and psychedelic. He mixes bits and pieces of heavily processed and treated live recordings of guitar, keyboards, bass and percussion with samples of a wide variety of media (commercials, movie samples, jingles, etc.) and found sounds, culminating in long continuous pieces that are truly unique and captivating, but never boringly academic or overly abstract.”
This is a great summer album

Crystal Stilts - Alight Of Night (2008)
Recently found this band and fell in love. It’s like a strange combination of Interpol, Joy Division, The Velvet Underground and The Jesus And Mary Chain. Check it out

Massive Attack - Mezzanine (1998)
Most people have probably heard this song before but thats ok. I’m sitting in my room after being up all night and the sun is about to come up. This song hits the spot right now. I’m not sure how I feel about the rest of the album but here it is anyway. A trip hop classic.

The Warlocks - Heavy Deavy Skull Lover (2007)
Modern psychedelic rock at its finest. So into this band! Similar to Spacemen 3 except it rocks a lot harder.

Red House Painters - Songs For A Blue Guitar (1996)
I’m a huge Pedro The Lion fan and never really thought I would find another artist that comes close, until I discovered Red House Painters/Sun Kil Moon. Have You Forgotten is such an amazing song. Recommended for any fans of singer/songwriter kind of stuff.

Lou began to sing “Heroin”. Gerard slowly unwound, came to rest on the floor of the stage and proceeded to light a candle and, in a kneeling position, slightly bent over, undid his belt. He pulled out a spoon from his back pocket, rolled up his sleeve, heated the spoon over the flame of the candle, touched the spoon with what appeared to be a hypodermic needle, wrapped the belt around his arm tightly, and began to flex his arm in a sweeping up-and-down motion. Then he pressed the ‘needle’ into his arm, slowly rose and began to whirl frantically around the stage. Lou was in the high pitched middle instrumental segment of the song. Behind the projector in the audience Paul Morrissey was explaining to a reporter that this is “a completely different kind of rock and roll”.
