Editors: An End Has a Start
Too new to review.
Bat for Lashes: Fur & Gold
Too new to review.
The Chemical Brothers: We Are the Night
Like the electronica I made in the basement, but better. (***)
Interpol: Our Love to Admire
Hit the trifecta... (****)
ATB: Trilogy
ATB meets Til Tuesday. More vocals than Trance. (***)
LCD Soundsystem: Sound of Silver
Slow 70s groove, with a mix of 80s synth. (****)
The Frames: The Cost
Slow folk, nothing earth shattering. (**)
Modest Mouse: We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank
Save me from the banal shit that's out right now. (*****)
Aberdeen City: The Freezing Atlantic
Listenable, but not powerful enough. (***)
Heartless Bastards: All This Time
Modern day Janis Joplin. (***)
Gnarls Barkley: St. Elsewhere
Funkadelic mo-shizzle (****)
Lily Allen: Alright Still
Cockney punk princess has bike and attitude. (****)
Miss Kittin: Live at Sonar
Purring with an 80's electro sexual energy (****)
Angels and Airwaves: We Don't Need to Whisper
Blink 182 but better (****)
The Streets: The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living
More of the same. Two Nations stands out. (***)
Dan Waxman: Ultra Electro
Remixes of old faves...New Order, Depeche, Daft Punk...just ok. (***)
Snow Patrol: Eyes Open
Rich album that builds on the first. Great sophomore effort. (****)
Editors: Back Room
Maybe better then Interpol (*****)
Morrissey: Ringleader Of The Tormentors
Truly disappointing. (**)
De/Vision: Subkutan
Depeche Mode with and industrial dance edge (****)
Bob Roll's new site, RSS, and Such
The site looks good...navigation is simple...oh cool...the BLOG-ke.
So I go to subscribe to the RSS feed. No feed.
Shyt...a blog with no feed is like corn flakes without the milk! (Sorry...in a Bobke like mood this morning...too much Belvy last night.)
I have become such an RSS whore that this basically means the site is off my radar. Unless someone else points me to something interesting that happens there I probably won't find it.
There are so many other sites out there that I would read more regularly that have just fallen off my radar. Even sites I would really want to read regularly like Dirt Rag (come on guys...get a feed...please) get missed by me and instead I turn to the blogosphere and mainstream media sites with RSS.
Speaking of RSS...I have added a FeedBurner feed to the site. I used to avoid subscribing to someones FeedBurner feed, but now I find that there is more value to a FeedBurner feed with the ability to add to deli.icio.us and see the number of comments and such. Eventually, I'll convert the site over to just the one FeedBurner feed if I can do so without losing subscribers to my other feeds. I know there is a way...just have to figure out how to do it with this TypePad blog. (I know...I know...some of you are saying...move to WordPress.)
