Sleep- Dopesmoker
























Because this album is pretty much the Bible of stoner rock.

Boris- Heavy Rocks



















This album is - as my friend Joe so accurately
put it - a noisy Japanese Motorhead.

It's heavy.

It rocks.

84001- The Search For Incandescent Glaciers




















The word "beautiful" doesn't quite fully encompass
what this album is like- but it comes close. Some
of the prettiest, spaciest soundscapes I've heard
are contained on this four song trip. Works great
as chillout music.

Tera Melos- Idioms










Hey, remember this place? Neither did I until a couple minutes ago. But whatever, I'm back.

Idioms is a 5 song cover EP by California math rock band Tera
Melos, featuring reworked versions of songs by The Beach Boys,
The Clash, Pixies, Weezer, and Polaris. The majority of the tracks
are under two minutes, so it's an easy, fun listen.

Pod - The Breeders

Kim Deal and her sister Kelley Deal created The Breeders from the result of Kim Deal's previous band Pixies hiatus. "Pod" provides great vocals and doesn't lack in anything. Steve Albini produced this album which explains the great drum sound. Albini has also produced albums by Pixies, Nirvana, The Stooges, PJ Harvey, Superchunk and Bush. Great album for anyone who likes early 90's or late 80's Alternative Rock. Worth checking out if you are a Pixies fan.

Can you dig it?.

Black Unicorn Split- He Is Legend/Classic Case (2006)

Here's a cool split I found out about after I saw He Is Legend live. 
It includes an awesome acoustic cover of Soundgarden's Fell On
Black Days by Classic Case and an even more awesome cover of
Reba McEntire's Fancy by He Is Legend. Definitely check it out.

Samhain - Initium



Glenn Danzig offers more dark music with Samhain. This is the time period between The Misfits and Danzig. Samhain is much slower and darker than The Misfits sometimes cartoonish songs.
