Car Commericials-Eric's Diary (damn this album is fucked. totallt new take on something sort of like rock music. Steve Kobak said it best about 08 in music in his "Apples n Heron Blog", "This has been a year in which we have seen Eddy Current Suppresion Ring and Sic Alps revamp rock, The Hospitals and Car Commericals re-invented it, and Idea Fire Company and Graham Lambkin/Jason Lescaleet explored new possibilities in sound.")

also listened to Debris a shitload.

Scott Walker-Tilt

Ive been in a Scott Walker frenzy. I've never been into his stuff really, but after hearing so much praise for the dude how could I resist. I fucking dig most of it. His 60s stuff is all the great "ghost pop" stuff, almost Roy-Orbisison esque. No variation at all from album to album but tons of perfect tunes. His 70s stuff from what I can tell was dogshit. His 80s stuff was his art music, and this album is his best without a fucking doubt. The first track "Bouncer See Bouncer" will have you spaced out and drooling on your dick as a sparse but prominent backing beat is played and some sparse rhythmic electronics squiggle around and Scott talks/sings/mumbles/recites, etc.. some beautiful lyrics. That's the whole song. Very disorienting, the rest of the record goes from there. Hows this for hack journalism; "Edgar Allan Poe fronting Pere Ubu with Phil Spector producing".
