Aloha

I first heard these guys when I saw them open for Ted Leo and thought that they were really good. I've only got Here Comes Everyone, but it definitly gets a lot of play and I need to pick up some more of their stuff. I guess they're kinda known for using a vibraphone as a main instrument....but they're so much more than that. Anyway, great band. See them live. That video is kinda fuckin' gay and kinda cool at the same time.

Summer Away

All Night Radio

Awesome band that no one has ever heard of. They broke up right around the time the album came out. I guess they used to be in Beachwood Sparks, I don't have any of their stuff but like what I've heard. Anyway, weird trippy rock...really good recommended for sure.

Alkaline Trio

Probably the best pop-punk band around today. For some reason I have Crimson and Good Mourining and not the good stuff. Skiba used to write semi-serious songs about being pissed and drunk, and now he writes super serious songs about Goth things. I do have From here to Infirmary, which will have to do I guess. It seems like most people who like these guys are like super fanatical about them...I was never like that but I do really like a lot of the earlier jams. Saw them open up for the far superior Apocalypse Hoboken at the Metro once, and I was bored to death.

My Friend Peter

Alice in Chains

One of the first bands I ever really liked when I was just getting into music around 6th grade. I can only really listen to the MTV Unplugged album these days and got rid of the other stuff a long time ago, but the Unplugged is classic. What a beautiful performance. I think it was the first show they'd played in a few years because of Lanbe Staley's heroin problems. The guy just pours his heart out into every song. He was the AIC and Cantrell's solo stuff was weak.

Nutshell - Unplugged

Alice Cooper

Basically I could only find the grestest hits at this really shitty record store and really wanted to hear "I'm 18" so I spent $17 for that and a bunch of other bullshit I'll never listen to, including some shit pile called "I Never Cry" Eh? I'll keep "Wecome to My Nightmare" and "No More Mr. Nice Guy" and a few more.

I'm Eighteen - Live '74

Al Green

What can you really say about the Reverend? I just wish I wasn't such a poser and had something besides the greatest hits album that everyone and their mom...let me re-phrase that...everyone's mom has. Classic, never gets old.

I'm Still In Love With You

Air

Only have Pocket Symphony and I don't play it much, but I could see getting really into it if the right situation came about so I'm kinda scared to get rid of it. I really like some of the bass parts and the song "One hell of a Party". I'd like to get more electronica stuff but never seem to think of it when I'm buying albums...maybe that's a sign?
