Oh snap dragon!

Just picked up a few more...thanks to a friend. He easily knows more about DnB/Jungle/Techno than any human in Ohio. Someday he'll grace us with a post, or a review of some sort. Hopefully the guy/girl that knows more than him isn't reading this.

Here's what I added:

Death Cab For Cutie --> "The Photo Album" --> I seriously don't think it's possible for DCFC to put out a bad album. If it happened, the earth would probably start rotating in the other direction. This one is good...I highly recommend it to anyone. Related....when I first started listening to these guys a few years ago, I had my doubts about the vocals. Lyrics were always very good, but it took a while for me to really enjoy Ben Gibbard on vocals - he's got a different sound. Reminds me of a storyteller. Needless to say, I'm a huge fan of all of his efforts, and am a tremendous fan of the musicianship alongside Ben - Jason McGerr - sweet sassafrass, those are some fresh beats! - I need to find you next time I'm in Seattle and take a lesson. What a clean sound overall...

Klute --> 'Breakbeat Science Exercise 003' --> completely mixed by Klute. As soon as I stopped projectile vomiting with excitement over this great, great mix...I focused my eyes and turned up the jam. This one is very good; the best DnB album I've heard in 2005.

Klute --> 'Lie, Cheat & Steal / You Should Be Ashamed' --> A 2-CD set....with "Lie" being the better of the two in my humble opinion. Klute consistently puts out good stuff, and he's always been high on my DnB list.

The Faint --> 'Wet From Birth' --> I've only listened to this 2 or 3 times....need to listen more before I have anything to say. I really liked 'Danse Macabre' though...so there ya go Faintists...got some props from me.

Were in the Wide Wide World of Sports is the Snapcase "Last Show Review"?? I believe two of them were in order for this blog...one from me and one from another individual.
