Here is the Lord of the Rings poster that Jimmy Cauty created, which I mentioned:


I really hope the back catalogue is re-released once day. That this music is unavailable for purchase is simply criminal.

Artist: Michael Head and The Strands.

Album: The Magical World of The Strands.

Check out the album, and if you like it, check out the Wikipedia entry to discover some new, awesome music. We will have H.M.S. Fable on, one day in the future.

LP Lexicon Podcast 017 - Songs for the Deaf by Queens of the Stone Age

Episode: 017
iTunes
Stitcher
Download: Link.

Artist: QotSA.

Album: Songs for the Deaf.

Show notes: This was a Christmas present in 2002 from my friend Alan, who did the correct thing; he asked me what album I wanted for Christmas. I asked for this, and it's been a moch-loved LP ever since.


Albums like this are always destined for greatness - they don't follow a particular style, but utilize many different styles of music to make up the album as a whole. This album does it. The White album does it. Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness does it. That kind of range determines that your finished product will be awesome, if you have the chops.

There isn't a great deal that I can say about this album, which I haven't said on the pod. If you don't know it, try it. It's really great. I'll link the singles here:

No One Knows

First It Giveth

Go With The Flow.

Peace!

Also, this week, I recorded a movie commentary for Tusk, with the 50ftNerds. It was great fun, and if you have seen the movie, check out the commentary here.

Download: Link.

Artist: Blur.

Album: 13.

Show notes: Whenever I was out, I bought whatever I could find by Blur, as you can see here: 


Blur - 13 era.

I love this album, the darker Blur got, the more I loved them. This was as dark as it got. I have this much material for each of the albums that they released; In short, it's a huge amaount. Even I don't know what I have, and at times I have bought things twice, because I have forgotten that I have bought things previously.

Wonderful album, 13. If you don't know it, do what you can to check it out.
