Playlist week 42

This is what I have been blasting the last week or so!

1: Oasis - Dig Out Your Soul [Album 2008]
It still works and gets better and better for each spin it gets! The most of the reviews I've read about the album have been quite mediocre, though I think the album will stand the test of time and become yet an Oasis classic!

2: Pede B - Stadig Beskidt [Album 2008]
This album didn't catch on at first, though I gave it a second chance and that was a blessing. After 2 weeks of frequent blasting, the album has opened up and I am caught in Pede's universe! Great rapping, good flow, nice beats, decent production, most of the lyrics are also hitting a spot, in me while catching the state of the society very well!

3: Tom Waits - Used Songs 1973-1980 [Album/compilation 2001]
Nice compilation with some of the best Waits songs from the mentioned period, he's a damn soulful singer and songwriter, his rusty vocals do something for me, that's for certain. The release comes with liner notes, info about the single songs and what albums they're on, so a good place, for someone who wants to get into Tom Waits, to start.

4: Magtens Korridorer - Friværdi [Album 2006]
Friværdi means equity, nice title considering whats going on in the financial markets right now. Besides the kickass title, the music is brilliant as well, all Danes should know the radio hits: 'Lorteparforhold', 'Nordhavn Station', 'Picnic (På Kastellet)' and 'Sara Har...'. Though the rest of the album is just as strong, if not stronger at times, so go fetch, if you already haven't!

5: Cathedral - The Carnival Bizarre [Album 1995]
Doom from English Cathedral, their strongest album? Hard to say, though perhaps the most complete they have made. The stoner rock parts that later on paints the band's music, starts to show their ugly faces during this release, but damn, atmospheric music at its best.

And just a mention before I end this piece, the Finnish band Godsplague and their hardrocking metallic cover of The Beatles' 'Eleanor Rigby' has also been enjoyed quite a while during the last week! The song can be found on the sampler 'Dirty Black Summer' released by the label Stay Heavy Records.
