Just picked up a couple CDs: an unpronounceable LP by Godspeed You! Black Emperor (a pretentious, weird, yet awesome Canadian band/orchestra) and One Step More And You Die by Mono. One of the songs on the latter disk is possibly the most violent fifteen minutes and fifty-eight seconds in musical history, and that's only the second track! Life is good.
I've also got the White Stripes' Get Behind Me Satan set to arrive in a week or so, courtesy of Amazon. W00t w00t.
"Godspeed You Black Emperor" and "Explosions In The Sky" are definitely next on my list of stuff to dig up I reckon (I'm in an obsessive and expensive "must find all the bands that I'll love but that I've never heard of before" phase at the moment) - I might investigate this Mono lot too.
Errrr.... I might pass at "The White Stripes" though..... I've listened to their last album a few times, but it doesn't really click with me somehow...
Oh, and I'm currently listening to "Letting Off The Happiness" by "Bright Eyes" - It'll need a few more listens for me to decide if I really like it I reckon.... Sounds alright though....
