It's not me, it's you by Lily Allen.
I got this album the other week and haven't stopped listening to it. It has the great single "The Fear" plus the awesome F*** you which is a nice kissoff to George Dubya.
She has a great way with lyrics, very witty and biting.

Underdog Victorious, by Jill Sobule
Jill's new album, The California Years, is released this week. I've preordered my copy, it should be here early next week by airmail. I'm so excited!!!! I helped contribute to the making of this album - Jill was dropped by 2 major labels, and the 2 indie labels she signed with went bankrupt. So, she turned to her fans, who raised $89K to help create the album.
Underdog Victorious features Jill's usual story telling style, with songs about the first time she got high at a battle of the bands; a couple who give up cocaine and their marriage; Joey Heatherton; a girl working as a hooker in Tel Aviv...

I just got my new Jill Sobule album "The California Years" in the post from the USA today, have been listening to it for the past couple of hours.
I love her tunes, but even more I love her lyrics.
From "Nothing to prove" -
I remember laying down It was 1983 Under the tree while listening to London Calling or something like that Twenty-three years later I'm here at a meeting Trying to impress someone at a dying record company I got nothing to prove
And in walks in this sullen girl who looks like she's nineteen, or wants to be With her biker boots and her hair dyed black Did that look so many years ago She looks at me like I'm some square Or I'm like her mother Well, **** you, kid; I got nothing to prove

A few videos of them supporting U2 @ Giants Stadium. It's a shame that they haven't caught on in America yet -- they're too popular to open for U2 over here.
It's doing brilliantly in the charts around the world. #1 in most of the major markets. Only #3 in the US though.

Oops....my bad with the cover art(can't get anything by you ). I actually have that 2007 album too. I did not know that Michael Voss was from Mad Max either. What a coincidence....

Falco: Nachtflug (1992)
What a classic album from the Bolland bros and Falco.
Posted by Simoneer (Member # 8941) on 04 October, 2010 10:25:
Album of the year for me, really. At least at this point. I'm pretty sure I won't hear a better release this year, though. I HAVE however heard many good albums this year. I guess a more contemporary-and-therefore-a-more-fitting-candidate-for-the-category would be Melechesh's latest release, The Epigenesis:
I usually do not like black metal, save for melodic (such as Agathodaimon's Phoenix) and symphonic (such as Equilibrium) bands, but these guys play an awesome, highly original variant of it. They might just have surpassed their album Emissaries with this one.

I love love love the "Bounce Back" song from her third cd.
It´s a shame that you can´t find her cd´s anywhere. cduniverse has this extended dance mix versions cd but i want the original tunes!

Glad I could jog your memory a little bit, Atomik. Alisha is really great and totally underrated. Lots of talent associated with her music too. People like Shep Pettibone, Cindy Valentine, and Martika.

Wow.. Ronnie .. most people only know Til Tuesday for the tune "Voices Carry". Did you know that Til Tuesday actually won 'Best New Artist' at the 1985 MTV Music Awards?
From the "Voices Carry" album.. my fav tune is "Love In A Vacuum" .. I actually enjoy listening to it more than the group's signature tune "Voices Carry".
Posted by Secret Admirer (Member # 3574) on 15 October, 2010 12:52:
I think 'Voices Carry' is probably one of the top 50 songs of the 80s, but I can't help but think that if Cyndi Lauper had sung all of 'Til Tuesdays songs, they'd have been so much better. They just sound perfect for her.

Asrai: Pearls in Dirt(2007)
I love this band ..And talk about a band with persistance and staying power..this group from the Netherlands first formed back in 1985, but only has just recently seen some speck of success in the underground music scene at most. So I guess technically you can consider them an 80's band. However, mainstream success seems to be the last thing on this band's agenda. They seem quite comfortable playing in the club/goth scene and seem quite content in keeping it that way. Pearls in Dirt is their most recent studio album released in 2007..and it's a beauty if you ask me. Margriet Mol is the singer in this band and she's got to be among my favorite female vocalists out there right now. She has got a set of pipes on her. If you don't believe me, check out this video for their first, and only single off this record.
lead singer Clare Grogan has such a squeaky voice, very different! another track i like, the dreamy tune: 'love to stay'

For an unlikely Superstar, Phil Collins, certainly did very well for himself. It's interesting to see how his two biggest selling albums did on either side of the Atlantic:
USA:
No Jacket Required - 12,000,000 ...But Seriously - 4,000,000
Europe:
No Jacket Required - 6,900,000 ...But Seriously - 13,400,000
I guess we can never agree of anything.
Back on track...
I've been listening to 'The Lord of The Rings: Return of the King' lately.
I love this album.

Europe:

I guess we can never agree of anything.
Those figures are deceptive, though. Phil spent a lot of time in the US through the 'No Jacket' period (before and after), and thanks to that - along with MTV video rotation - he had his period of greatest success (ditto Genesis for the same reasons the following year). However, in the UK he was slightly less present, and the singles chart positions reflect that: 'Against All Odds'. 'Invisible Touch', 'One More Night', 'Separate Lives', 'Sussudio' - all US #1's - none of them UK #1's.
However, for 'But Seriously', not only was Phil present in Europe, but there was a massive TV marketing campaign for the album in the lead up to Christmas. As a result, the album topped the UK charts for something like 15 weeks (throughout Christmas) compared to the US 4 weeks.
I think his popularity from 'Against All Odds' until the end of the decade remained more or less even between the US and Europe, with maybe a peak in the US throughout '85 and '86 helped by exposure via Miami Vice and things like that. The sales figures (I believe) are more evidence that promotion - when it works - really can have an effect.
PS: Ronnie; early Whitney was great! Remember that she used to slate Madonna for being a bad role model?!
Posted by Ronnie (Member # 465) on 15 December, 2010 13:49:
it sucks that she can't even carry a tune, these days. a lot of people were rooting for her "comeback."
i have to say, i love phil collins' serious hits live cd. great show.
Posted by logan5 (Member # 1467) on 15 December, 2010 17:47:
Before she can come back, she has to quit drugs.
I do have some issues with Whitney influencing a whole generation of female vocalists to sing in a strident bloated over the top way. Then again... Mariah and Celine didn't help.

Boz Scaggs is terrific. I was listening to Alice Cooper's syndicated radio show, and even he played stuff from Silk Degrees and mentioned that while it was not his style, the music is just great.

of course the stand out tracks like:
-Don't Go -Only You -Situation
...are awesome but there are other tracks on this album that are great as well.
Too Pieces - the majority of the song is instrumental but has a terrific melody..something you'd wanna hear in the background while watching an 80s movie.
Midnight - Alison Moyet's smoky, passionate voice gets me in this one. i just love her voice.
In My Room - valley has mentioned this song a couple of times, played in the movie The Chocolate War. great, strange song. Posted by The Good Package (Member # 9492) on 08 May, 2011 08:44:

ANGEL WITCH was one of the very first real metal bands I can recall really liking instantly. And their '81 record was certainly among the first that I played over & over to the point of driving my folks insane.

Tristania - World of Glass (2001)
Tristania is/was a very good Norwegian Goth/Symphonic Metal Band. I've listened to this band alot over the past decade, and I do enjoy almost all their records. But this one still has to be my favorite. It's got a great mixture of heavy metal, growling and operatic vocals, and dark brooding musical arrangements & orchestrations that is sure to please any fan of the genre. A true masterpiece if you ask me. So if you're a Goth Metal fan, then I highly recommend giving it a listen if you haven't already. And be sure to crank it up Loud!

FAITH NO MORE - ANGEL DUST (1992)
Going with this great record for this week. I just re-re-re-listened to this record about 3 times over the other night, and I still love it.
Mike Patton has worked in numerous bands and side projects throughout his career including bands like: Tomahawk, Fantomas, and he even still did stuff with Mr. Bungle while he was in Faith No More as well. The guy's just a work-a-holic and musical machine.
Everyone who's a fan has their own tastes and opinions on what band Patton did his best work in. For me, it's still gonna have to be Faith No More. Though it's a close call because I enjoy alot of his stuff from other bands too. Tomahawk would probably have to come in a close second to me.
But anyway, back to this great album. This album features what, in my opinion, is some of FNM's finest work. This record still has the ability to entrance me from beginning to end even 20 some-odd years later. It's just an EPIC album...pun intended;)
I love every single song on this record. So it's hard for me to pick any favorites. But if I was forced to at gunpoint, then my favorite standout tracks would have to be as follows:

Noel Gallagher's debut album as a solo artist.
Tracklist:
Everybody's On The Run Dream On If I Had A Gun... The Death Of You And Me (I Wanna Live In A Dream In My) Record Machine AKA... What A Life! Soldier Boys And Jesus Freaks AKA... Broken Arrow (Stranded On) The Wrong Beach Stop the Clocks
I'm really enjoying this album -- considering that Noel was Oasis, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised.

Kanon Wakeshima - Lolitawork Libretto (2010)
This is a great record that has a good mix of traditional Japanese pop and Darkwave & Classical influence. If you're not a fan of Japanese music then this probably won't interest you. But, if you are, then I recommend giving it a listen. I immediately ordered it after hearing these 2 particular songs:

Great Pic Atomik! New Nightwish is great! Tuomas is a musical visionary and he just seems to get better with each new album. So, even though I am a fan of the new records, I'm hard-pressed to say I personally still prefer the old Tarja days of Nightwish over the new stuff. And with that being said, my album of the week shall be...
Nightwish: Oceanborn (1998)
This is the first Nightwish album I listened to all the way through. So it comes as no surprise that it's my favorite, and still their best..IMO, ("Once" ranks in a very close second). Tarja Turunen's angelic voice shines through brilliantly on this album. Combine that with some very nice punchy guitar riffs, (something I think that newer Nightwish records are sadly lacking), and you've got an album of epic win from beginning to end, no other way to put it. A "MUST HAVE" for any true Nightwish fan.

I also own all Nightwish albums except Angels Fall First. The old albums are good but i have to say that i like this new style with Anette a little better. Now let´s just enjoy the new album and wait for the movie.

Rainbow - Rising (1976)
35+ years old, and this album is still one of the most epic Heavy Metal/Hard Rock records ever. Including what is still hailed by many as one of the most epic Hard Rock Anthems ever written:
This song easily proves why Ronnie James Dio was one of the greatest vocalists in metal history, R.I.P.! Combine that with the Awesome out-of-this-world guitaring of Richie Blackmore, and you've got a classic here that will never die!\m/

Kamelot - The Black Halo (2005)
The Black Halo is the seventh studio album by this great Symphonic Power Metal Band. I just only heard this band for the first time a few years ago, and I've enjoyed almost everything I've heard thus far. I don't know if this would be my particular favorite album by this band that I've heard so far, (the 2001 album "Karma" would be a heavy competitor), But it is definitely a damn good one. So go check it out.

I can't stand Symphonic Power Metal, it's way overly pretentious. And this album has your Man from Dodgy Burger. That says enough.
This week I have been giving Irish Thrasher's Gama Bomb second album Citizen Brian a blast. Fast, entertaining and packed with stories about Zombies, Alien Invasion, Video Games, Drinking Booze, Superman and Robocop. Razor Sharp and High Octane
Posted by aTomiK (Member # 6575) on 25 January, 2012 03:42:
My favorite Kamelot discs are The Fourth Legacy and Karma. Excellent heavy/power metal. They went too symphonic after that IMO.

Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime (1988)
I know, this one's kind of a no-brainer for any kind of metalhead isn't it? But, a great album is a great album, and it's my pick for this week.
This is arguably among one of the best rock concept albums ever recorded. Mindcrime follows the story of an emotionally disturbed and gullible young man who becomes disillusioned with the society of the time and reluctantly becomes involved with a revolutionary group as an assassin of political leaders. A pretty simple and trite storyline up front, but presented effectively well on this 15-track record. This album is very melodramtic in tone and has a heavy portrayal on the corruption of Catholicism and a broken society in general. So it's kind of understandable why some might think this record is a bit much. But it is a Rock Opera after all, so you can't expect much less.
Some very good vocal range from Geoff Tate on this one. Combine that with some outstanding Duel Guitar work from Chris Degarmo and Michael Wilton, and you've got a masterpiece here. This is a great album to own for any fan of this particular brand of Progressive Hard Rock and one I can still highly recommend. Still easily the best record from this band in my book too.

Deathstars - Synthetic Generation (2004)
I'm not a huge fan of this Swedish goth band anymore because I don't think they are quite as good as they used to be when they first came about. But this debut album is still by far their best IMO. I can certainly recommend it for any gothic rock/industrial music fan to add to their collection. If you're a fan of bands like Nine Inch Nails, Rammstein, Skinny Puppy, KMFDM, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie...ect, then you'll probably enjoy this one. Great heavy scary music.

Fluke - Risotto (1997):
Fluke is an English Trance/Elecronica band mainly known for the songs of theirs that have appeared in random movies and video games, such as: The Matrix Reloaded, Wipeout game series, and Need for Speed 2. But if you're a fan of this style of music like I am, than I can definitely recommend picking up this record. Really great stuff to zone out and drift off to for awhile
Just listened both Spider albums (s/t, 1980 & Between the Lines, 1981). Excellent stuff, way ahead of it´s time. It´s a great band:
Amanda Blue lead vocals Keith lentin guitars, backing vocals Jimmy Lowell bass, backing vocals Holly Knight keyboards, backing vocals Anton Fig drums, percussion, backing vocals

Flight of the Navigator Soundtrack (1986):
Yup, I'm going with another soundtrack this week... This movie still ranks as one of my all time favorites from my childhood. And this great all-electronic Sndtrk by Alan Silvestri is part of why it still remains to be. It's one of those soundtracks that may sound very cheesy and aged to some. But for those who still enjoy this film, there is great warmth and nostalgia within these simple synclavier melodies. And it still has the power to transport one back to their childhood from the very first opening note...at least, it does for me.

THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE - HIDE & SEEK (2012)
Going with this new one from The Birthday Massacre this week. I just got my pre-ordered copy of this album a couple days ago. And I am enjoying it thus far. There's some really good upbeat songs on this record that any fan of this band would come to expect. But also a couple pretty damn good darker more moody songs that I really am enjoying as well. Including the track that would probably have to be my favorite thus far, "Play with Fire." So, I say give this one a listen if you're a fan of this band. Or just of synth-rock in general. A good listen for Halloween time.

I bought the Deluxe Collecter's Edition (as pictured in my original post) for 77,49 (in euro's that is). Whether that's worth it depends on how much you like Fleetwood Mac, and this album in particular. Personally, i'm very happy with it.

I picked this up at the record-store last friday (the day it was released) :
Fleetwood Mac continue to re-release their classic albums. So, after Rumours (1977) and Tusk (1979), it was time for Mirage (1982) to get the Super Deluxe treatment.
Disc 1 is the original album, newly remastered. Disc 2 has outtakes, demos, and alternate versions. Disc 3 has live recordings from their 1982 tour, including Rhiannon and Go Your Own Way. Disc 4 is an audio-only dvd. And, of course, a heavyweight vinyl repress is included as well.
The next in line will be Tango In The Night (1987), but personally i would prefer to see Fleetwood Mac's self-titled 1975 album get the Super Deluxe treatment some day !

Ghost is great! Sticky satanic rites with choruses to die for.

Jean-Michel Jarre - Electronica 1: The Time Machine (2015)
Really, really good stuff. The album was recorded with the help of 15 separate collaborators, including Vince Clarke, Tangerine Dream and John Carpenter. Includes nice liner notes from Jarre himself.

Dark Tranquility - Atoma (2016)
Been a fan of this band for a long time and I wouldn't say this is my favorite record of theirs, but it's still a damn good one. One of the best metal records of 2016 IMO that's worth a few listen throughs if you're a fan of some good melodic metal.
