Joy Division - "Unknown Pleasures"
Welcome
This is a blog I made to share some of my favorite albums, and albums I think everyone should hear. The essential albums in my opinion, all genres, any time, any place. I hope some of you enjoy these records, and share them with others. If you like what you hear, please buy the album from the band. If you are in the band and you would rather people don't check out your music just let me know and I'll take it down.

You don't understand "we", because you don't understand me.
Give up the Ghost, American Nightmare, American Nothing, whatever you want to call them, they are one of my favorite hardcore bands. Overrated and cheesy, probably, but I can't help but be drawn to it. Heartbroken songs about love, sex, drugs, youth, and death. This is their final album, and in my opinion their best. In a world of sluts, we keep this wet dream alive.

Now I'm a crushed credit card registered to "Smith"
Today I am going to post about one of my all time favorite songwriters: Elliott Smith. It's a shame he took his own life (or did he?) by two knife stabs to the chest. Those these songs are really sad as Elliott suffered from depression, alcoholism, and drug addiction, they also maintain a certain beauty to them. It's a shame that we lost such a great musician and an even greater mind. This is his first album, it has less instrumentation and more of a lo fi recording then his later work, which is why it's my favorite, but all his stuff his great so check him out. Kill Rock Stars.
