All of the pixies/frank black albums I'm quite obsessed

Radiohead, the bends and ok computer

REM, automatic for the people

Placebo, meds

Dresden dolls, st

SOAD, toxicity

Anathema, a fine day to exit

Theres loads more but I can't think, I mean to listen to loads of bands/artists (kristin hersh being one) but I just don't have the time or inclination. Maybe when I get back to work I'll have a nice commute to listen to new music yey.

havalina · 03/04/2008 00:49

Doea anyone know of any Tanya Donnelly stuff? whilst I'm on a throwing muses bent.

madamez · 03/04/2008 01:12

Havalina: there's a song I love which I think is by Tanya Donnelly, goes something like 'Head in the clluds, feet underground, we're going to make the earth move, we're going to live for ever...' I think it's called Shake.

Anyway, my album choices:
Earth Vs the Wildhearts
White Stripes - White Blood Cells/Elephant
Probably anything by The Sweet though if you forced me to choose it would be Sweet Fanny Adams
Nirvana Nevermind
Pearl Jam Ten
Last of the Teenage Idols - Satellite Head Gone Soft (and if anyone has ever heard of that, do make yourself known and we'll have a reminiscent cackle...)
THe Only ONes - Even Serpents Shine (have got a Best Of on CD but really must get the USB turntable set up so I can hear the rest).

Fullmoonfiend · 03/04/2008 09:47

Throwing muses

There was once called ''call me'' or something. ''here I am, what a loser, waiting for years to go by...call me'' or something. Anyone know what is was called?
