Shade's Album Upload Topic

[Some Random]

Haha okay, let me know if you ever want it.

 

So what other semi-obscure Canadian talents do you have for me? I have Wintersleep, Matt Mays and Limblifter (and MG obviously). I hear there're other good bands on the label Winterlseep is on?

the trews have their moments. i've almost bought one of their cds a couple times. and joel plaskett is wicked.

[Shiri]

Thank you Meg. If any of you want to recommend any more music nobody outside Canada knows then give me links.

The Trews are one of my all time favorite bands, its just good straight up rock and roll. They also put on a killer live show.

[Shiri]

Meg, I listened to Contrived's album just now, it's pretty good. Do you have any albums by Brian Borcherdt?

Melt-Banana - Bambi's Dilemma

 

 

 

Couldn't find a picture of the album, but there's the band.

 

Japanese Noise Rock. It's fun, you will all like it I bet.

 

Download.

i might change my mind later

Schwab - The Schwab Family System

 

 

I LOVE this album. I got it yesterday after i bought it on eBay. I love how un-produced it sounds like. Its like they went with the first take. Give it a listen.

[shade]

^ ya that stuff is pretty fun.

Ugh, I think if I listened to that more than once I would go insane. But yes, it was fun.

 

Schwab is pretty cool so far.

[sodamntired]

to anyone that doesn't want to dl the whole album

 

Schwab - The Greed

 

I realized listening to them at work today that what they are doing is kind of a throwback to 60's rock mixed with a modern vibe.

 

 

but just download the whole album. you really need to hear the whole thing to get the Vibe and the coolness.

[soundless_space]

The Schwab stuff is good. I enjoyed it.

 

P.S. was someone asking for this a while back? I found it in my basement today and remembered someone asking for old Treble Charger...

 

Maybe It's Me

Chris mentioned Joel Plaskett earlier so I've uploaded some stuff from him and the Emergency.

 

 

Joel Plaskett Emergency - Down At The Khyber

 

 

 

Released in 2001, this is the first JPE album. Check it out.

Joel Plaskett - La De Da

 

 

 

This is Joel Plaskett's most recent solo release and probably the easiest to get into. If you only pick one to download you'll probably enjoy this one more initially.

Joel Plaskett Emergency - Ashtray Rock

 

(album art attached below as I could not find one via google image search)

 

I was debating not uploading this one because it just came out a few weeks ago but whatever. It's got a very nostalgic feel to it and it's also available on vinyl so people may feel inclined to pick that up (I definitely plan to next time I see him in concert). This album is a concept album based on a story of two teens in a band that fall in love with the same girl. It's straight up catchy rock for the most part, much like Plaskett's other releases.

Matt Mays - Matt Mays

 

 

 

This is Matt Mays' debut album. I uploaded his most recent release as well as the Matt Mays + El Torpedo album and it was received pretty well so I figured I'd throw this out for download. It's a lot more folky than the other two albums.

The Tragically Hip - Up To Here

 

 

 

This is the first full length release from The Hip and also their best, in my opinion. Enjoy.

Tom Waits - Mule Variations

 

 

 

Released in 1999. Pretty solid album overall. Listen to the last track if nothing else; it's fantastic.

Schweeeet. I definitely appreciate the Matt Mays as he is impossible to find in the U.S.

[Monochrome Rainbow]

Let me know what you think, Beth. Like I said it's more folk-ish but I still really enjoy the album. When The Angels Make Contact is still my favourite overall though for sure.

 

Be sure to give some of the JP(E) a shot too. Good stuff.

[soundless_space]

Were you the one who uploaded the Joel Plaskett/Emergency back in the beginnings of this thread? Because I have those on my computer, I'm assuming I downloaded them from here, haha. I love them both.

[Monochrome Rainbow]

Haha, did I seriously upload some already? I'll check.

 

 

Edit: Fuck. Yeah, 2 of those 3 albums (La De Da and Down At The Khyber) were uploaded earlier in the thread. Oh well, at least others get another chance to get them.

 

If anyone likes the Plaskett and wants more I'll upload Truthfully, Truthfully; that's a sweet Emergency album. I have In Need Of Medical Attention too, which is the first solo Plaskett album and is harder to find now from my understanding.

Edited May 16, 2007 by Monochrome Rainbow

[soundless_space]

Word, everyone should hear those albums in my opinion anyway.

 

And if you feel up to it, I'd love to hear more JP/E.

EDIT: The Matt Mays is very country-influenced eh? Haha, I do like it so far though.

Edited May 16, 2007 by soundless_space

[Some Random]

thanks for down at the khyber, monochrome. i think that's the only one i don't have, and i've thrown enough of my limited money in his direction.

 

i'll download the tom waits, too.

 

edit: i know you probably don't, but do any of you have the stabbing westward albums that are not "wither, blister, burn and peel"? the one torrent i found for them is obnoxiously slow.

Edited May 16, 2007 by 13chris13

[Audio of Being]

I would love to listen/have Truthfully Truthfully, and as for the Matt Mays thanks alot for the upload, it was one of the cds stolen from me when my car was broken into, sure is nice to have it back.

 

EDIT: If my uploads were not so slow, I would upload some music of mine, once I get a faster DSL connection I will upload for sure.

Edited May 16, 2007 by Audio of Being

[Shiri]

Wow, good uploads here. I'll definitely download some later.

[shade]

Ya I like all the input.

 

Keep up the good work team.

 

To quote some dipshit coke addict:

 

We'll take this city while its sleeping.

[Some Random]

here's one i'm not sure many of you will like, but what the hell...i love them:

 

 

strung out - exile in oblivion

[shade]

here's one i'm not sure many of you will like, but what the hell...i love them

I should put that quote before everything I've uploaded...amirite?!1

 

 

I'll give it a shot.

[Monochrome Rainbow]

And if you feel up to it, I'd love to hear more JP/E.

EDIT: The Matt Mays is very country-influenced eh? Haha, I do like it so far though.

Yeah, it's kinda twangy at times for sure. It is really good though; Back Home Weather, Downtown, City of Lakes, and Where Are You Going are all great tracks. It grows on you a lot too after a few listens.

 

You should hear a Guthries album; Matt Mays played in that band before going solo and they were really country/bluegrass.

 

 

Anyway:

 

Joel Plaskett - In Need Of Medical Attention

 

 

 

First Plaskett solo record. My least favourite album of all the JP/E but it's still pretty good. Some stand-up tracks on here; check out News Of Your Son, I'd Rather Be Deadly Than Dead, and Powerful Lights.

Joel Plaskett Emergency - Truthfully, Truthfully

 

 

 

This is for soundless and audio. It's a pretty sweet album, you guys will love it.

Mirah - Advisory Committee

 

 

 

This is her second album and was released in 2001. Mirah is a singer-songwriter from Philadelphia. Cold, Cold Water is one of my favourite tracks of hers.

Explosions In The Sky - Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Live Forever

 

 

 

Decent band from Austin, Texas (like many other great acts). Pretty rock-y stuff. Apparently this album was rumoured to be linked to the 9/11 terrorist attacks because the original album art showed an airplane on the cover with a caption reading "this plane will crash tomorrow" and the album was released in late August of 2001. People are retarded.

[soundless_space]

Thanks for the Joel Plaskett/Emergency dude. I appreciate it. Also, Explosions in the Sky = pretty cool stuff in my opinion.

 

P.S. Chris, I didn't think I would like Strung Out, but it wasn't bad!
