teen idles

oh dischord, you're so awesome.

minor threat

Out Of Step (1984)

"Minor Threat was an American hardcore punk band from Washington DC. Short-lived but very influential, critics have called the band and their work “iconic,” and have noted that their “groundbreaking” music “has held up better than most of their contemporaries.” Minor Threat is credited with unintentionally starting the ‘straight edge movement'"

I really hope I didn't already post this...

Assuming that I didn't.. this is and will always be in my top 5 favorite albums of all time. The combination of Minor Threat, The Misfits, and the Bouncing Souls is what got me into the whole punk scene when I was like 12 or 13 years old. I cannot thank them enough for introducing me to what real music sounds like. THIS IS REAL DC PUNK MY FRIENDS!! At the time I was listening to blink 182 and good charlotte or some shit like that, Ian MacKaye knocked all the bullshit out of my confused little skull, parted the heavens, and forced godly rock into my soul. It was like reincarnation.

the 13th floor elevators

The Psychedelic Sounds Of The 13th Floor Elevators (1966)

"Hailing from Austin, Texas, the members of 13th Floor Elevators were quite possibly the first artists to describe their music as psychedelic. Their lyrics and sleeve notes openly and religiously endorsed the use of drugs (particularly lsd) to alter human consciousness for the better."

Roky Erickson is one lunatic of a god.

P.S. Janis Joplin was THIS CLOSE to joining these guys in the mid 60's, but she (obviously) decided to pursue a career of her own.

Just heard of these guys about a month ago. Really smart, really talented, and pretty damn original. The part I like most about this band is their lyricism. Their lyrics aren't especially poetic and sometimes they aren't even rhythmically on tempo with the instrumentation. However, they are very straightforward and very heartfelt. The singer portrays some images that are pretty universal and accessible for most people. Whether he is talking about teenage angst, nostalgia, or just plain old boredom, this guy knows how to speak his mind.

joanna newsom

Walnut Whales (2002)

Yarn And Glue (2003)

"Joanna Newsom (born January 18, 1982) started taking piano lessons at a very early age and played for a couple of years, but switched to the harp at seven. Her approach to the harp, from the percussive aspects of her playing to her chord changes, was also influenced by West African and Venezuelan harp music, which she began studying at a folk music camp she attended in her early teens. At the same time, she also listened to more vocal-based folk, punk, and jazz like Karen Dalton, Texas Gladden, Patti Smith, and Billie Holiday. By the time she reached high-school age, Newsom decided she wanted to become a composer, and while that became the focus of her studies, in her free time she began writing and recording instrumental songs. Eventually, Newsom’s passion for songwriting won out, and she began studying creative writing to work with words in the same way she was accustomed to working with music."

Here are Joanna Newsom's first two self-released EP's.

Back before she released her full length albums, Joanna recorded these EP's on cd-r's and distributed them herself. I like them more than her albums because they are much more intimate (they only involve her and her harp) These aren't sold in stores anymore, but luckily I found them on a file sharing site. Enjoy!

I've REALLY been diggin' this album lately. Great addition to the whole "freak folk" movement. All of Vetiver's albums are great, this one is my favorite though.
