LCD Soundsystem - 45:33 (2007)



I saw LCD Soundsystem last weekend at the Treasure Island Music Festival. Apparently this is James Murphy's last tour as LCD Soundsystem and I implore you to see them live. The show was sick-nasty/bittersweet. Sick-nasty because they completely rocked the house and bittersweet because all I wanted was more.

This album was commissioned by Nike as an album to jog to. We'll I haven't jogged to it but I can assure you it can accompany a host of other activities, most of which don't require so much movement and energy. You'll notice the nascent version of Someone Great as a theme throughout, thanks Nike!

LCD I love you but you're bringing me down.

Boredoms - Vision Creation Newsun (2000)



One of the most psychedelic albums ever made and another one of my all-time favorites. Be warned though, most of the brain-altering is done in the form of quite loud fuzzy noise that descends into chaos from time to time. It always comes back, however, returning to waves of bliss and tribal percussion. Another warning: listening to this while operating a motor vehicle may result in excessive speeds and volume.

Get it in FLAC.
