Another year, another trip to SF to go watch my A's play, hang with friends, eat burritos, and bargain shop at Amoeba. This time in two categories: CDs and vinyl!
CD list:
Barr - Beyond Reinforced Jewel Case (5RC, 2005) (weirdo nerd rap)
Bedhead & Macha - Bedhead Loved Macha / Macha Loved Bedhead (Jetset, 2000) (everyone should love Bedhead)
Birds of Avalon - The Oui EP (Volcom, 2008) (local psych shredders)
British Sea Power - Do You Like Rock Music? (Rough Trade, 2008) (not as good as their first record but still enjoyable)
Richard Buckner - Meadow (Merge, 2006) (all-time best dude)
The Dipers - How To Plan Successful Parties (Omnibus, 2003) (side project of Intelligence)
Dub Narcotic Sound System - Sideways Soul: Dub Narcotic Sound System Meets the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion (K, 1999) (somehow missed this ever existing)
Shout Out Louds - Oh, Sweetheart EP (Bud Fox, 2004) (underrated Swedish pop)
South San Gabriel - The Carlton Chronicles (Misra, 2005) (Centro-Matic side project)
Strange Boys - Live Music (Rough Trade, 2011) (review here)
Various Artists - Zum Audio Vol 2 (Zum, 1998) (used to have a dubbed cassette of this; good to have a replacement)
Wilderness - (K)no(w)here (Jagjaguwar, 2008) (pretty sure I heard a song from them I liked a lot once)
Vinyl list:
The Midwest Beat - Gone Not Lost (Dusty Medical, 2011) (actually from the midwest!)
Misfits - Misfits (Plan 9, 1986) (a classic amongst classics)
Mono - One Step More and You Die (Temporary Residence, 2003) (amazing Japanese post-rock that may make your heart skip a beat)
Portastatic - The Nature of Sap (Merge,1997) (Mac from Superchunk's side project)
Society of Rockets - Our Paths Related (Underpop, 2007) (SF popsters I used to play basketball with)
Swan Lake - Enemy Mine (Jagjaguwar, 2009) (not the soundtrack to the movie)
Thomas Function - Celebration! (Alive, 2008) (catchy garage pop, too underrated)
Wax Museums - Wax Museums (Douchemaster, 2008) (catchy Texas punk)
Young People - War Prayers (Dim Mak, 2003) (a good record, their first one is pure gold)
