It's a stupid name for a band is what it is. Not as bad as "Portugal. The Man", though — I mean, the latter is the ALL-TIME FUCKING NADIR of band names or pseudonyms or whatever the fuck that crap is.

No way man. Portugal, the Man is not the worst. I’m SURE I know of a worse one... just can’t think of it right now.

30 Seconds to Mars is worse, actually. But I don’t that’s not even the one I was thinking of. Hmm.

Got RATHER RIPPED for fifty cents at library books sale.

Yeah, I already have it. But what was I gonna do? Not buy it?

I've bought many SY albums twice, but for bonus tracks.

That's actually a period there, not a comma. "Portugal. The Man". Which makes it WORSE. And WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT EVEN MEAN. FUCK HIM/THEM.

Hahaha! It’s a PERIOD?! What?! Ok, it’s pretty goddamn bad, but there still another that I’m thinking of that might be worse. Can’t remmeber what, but it’s bad.

Men Without Hats isn’t great
The World is A Beautiful Place and I Am no Longer Afraid to Die is also really fucking bad.

But there’s one that’s just not coming to me.

I’ve bought almost every SY album at least twice. You did the right thing.

Graham Bond - Holy Magick

Really happy to have finally obtained a vinyl copy of this 1970 ecstatic occult prog/jazz masterpiece. Enochian calls and all.

Land of Talk - Life after Youth

Very mellow compared to earlier works. I recommend the album "Applause Cheer Boo Hiss" to anyone who hasn't heard them. It's the debut and their most energetic and intense release. Liz Powell's one hell of a guitarist. 3 piece band. Very unique guitar tone and lots of open tuning and soloing akin to melding Ranaldo with Cobain.

Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Duke Ellington Songbook

Not sure if this is the correct cover art. Ordered it a few days ago, and found this on Google images just to share. The version I ordered has three discs though. :eek:

Originally I was just getting a copy for my father for Christmas, and I decided to snag one for myself. The price was right and the music’a good. I also am a fan of the Ella Sings Gershwin boxed set.

hey another biggie knocked off my want list! Medium Rare was released for Record Store Day 2011, originally as a vinyl only release. It's a covers album, which I'm a big fan of. And It was then re-released in a limited capacity on CD in Europe in cooperation w/ Q Magazine. Copies aren't exactly "rare," as there's always a handful on ebay and Discogs. The problem is that copies generally aren't cheap, so I'd been waiting to at least find what I considered a deal. Happy to finally have this album.
