Playlist week 44

Still a tad behind real time, though will get there!

Week 44 was dedicated to Lou Reed and his first 5 albums, if we count out the experimental 'Metal Machine Music'.

No need to list the releases in other order, than how they were released, as they have gotten more or less the same amount of spins and appreciation. And I don't feel like putting notes beneath the releases, as it's Lou Reed while being godly, and it's hard to pick one of these albums as the being better than the rest!

1: Lou Reed - Lou Reed [Album 1972]

2: Lou Reed - Transformer [Album 1972]

3: Lou Reed - Berlin [Album 1973]

4: Lou Reed - Sally Can't Dance [Album 1974]

5: Lou Reed - Coney Island Baby [Album 1976]

Impressions from AMF2008 day 2

Here's a few shots from Friday's concert at Aalborg Metal Festival 2008, I didn't get as many as I wanted as I had done the rookie photographer fuck up, I had forgot to recharge the battery for the camera from Thursday to Friday, so I had to take few pics of all bands and then hope for the best, no time or power for the moneyshot, that's also why there's only one picture of the mighty Illdisposed.

Playlist week 43

Finally, a little catch up, here's the spanking new 2 weeks old playlist... huh

1: Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon
This is a classic, and on vinyl it sounds so damn good, one of my alltime favorites, progressive dark soundscapes with a lot of hope included.

2: Trolle//Siebenhaar - Couple Therapy
Finally did the full length album from Trolle//Siebenhaar see the light of day. Many of you might know the band from the hit they had a couple of years ago 'Sweet Dogs', so if you liked that, now you have 11 tracks ('Sweet Dogs') included of the captivating vocals from Ane Trolle and the groovy laidback dub/reaggae/electronica from Siebenhaar. A nice match up and some great music to light up the day in the dark winter.

3: Peter Sommer - Til Rotterne Til Kragerne Til Hundene
Well, not much to say, than it still rotates here on a regular basis, see somewhere below for more info about the release :)

4: Black Sabbath - Sabotage
Again one of the old vinyls that has been dusted off. One of my favorite Sabbath records, one of the most progressive from their side, though still with a lot of catchy riffs from Iommi and Osbourne doing a good performance. Who can't enjoy tracks like: 'Hole In The Sky', 'Symptom Of The Universe', 'Megalomania' and 'Am I Going Insane'?

5: REM - Automatic For The People
I am also a big fan of REM, and this must be my favorite album by them, check out the entire album, if you already haven't, and play it back to back 5 times in a row and tell me that, that won't make you like it even more!!!
