The Thread Where You Name an Artist and Someone Else Recommends an Album

[JelloPuddingChat]

Sweet. I have a lot of Nick Cave and tried to tackle practically his whole discography, but I think it turned into more of a task. I am familiar with more of his 80's releases and Dig, Lazaus, Dig!!! I just wanted to see what the concensus starting point for the band and to perhaps use it as another starting point when I do another Nick Cave binge.

[JelloPuddingChat]

Oh and I remember that thread. Pretty great. Did anyone ever compile the write-ups on a file?

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

body talk is 3 diff volumes, right? any suggestion there?

i'll be checkin out junior tomorrow.

thx!

There's actually a singular album called Body Talk that combines most of the previous two volumes with new tracks into a 15-track album. That would be the best way to listen to it I think.

Juan Maclean.

Harlem.

Juan Maclean-Less Than Human

Doesn't Harlem only have one album? Edit: they've got two. Hippies is the one I liked and have heard.

[Gribbz]

Thanks.

Harlem formed in Tucson apparently. That's all I really know about them.

The Kills

[bmack86]

I prefer No Wow, but their first two albums are both solid.

Lil B (I've heard Rain in England)

[thom cobain]

OK thanks

Leaves Turn Inside You is their masterpiece, but it also isn't really representative of their work up to that point as it's much more expansive and long-form. For their earlier, more abrasive stuff I'd go with New Plastic Ideas.

[bmack86]

Also, does that mean I shouldn't listen to Lil B?

Awesome, cheers.

His 2005 Essential Mix.

Uh. I guess just jump in anywhere. A lot of what I've heard is pretty similar. I have a hard time taking those dudes seriously but they're good for some (maybe unintentional?) comic relief. THE AGONY! THE ECSTASY! THE AGONY! THE ECSTASY!

[TallGuyCM]

Oh that sucks. Buzzo from the Melvins mentioned them alongside Throbbing Gristle in an interview I just read, that's why I asked.

[SoulDischarge]

Maybe I'm giving them too little credit or am not just that familiar with their catalog. They're definitely nowhere on par with TG.
