Not to mention that good luck finding those albums in non-intarwebs form. Iceland-only releases woohoo. And I still can't find Spoon.

I can import stuff and I have been known to spend a bit more than is reasonable on said imports.

The Jackson 5- I Want You Back

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #1204 on:** October 20, 2009, 10:04:02 AM »

I have no idea how feasible even importing them would be, on the other hand. That's more on the fact that those albums seem so non-existant in general. In a vacuum, importing even would be sorta reasonable (and heck, I've done that for games myself multiple times), but those Emiliana Torrini works just seem mostly lost in a black hole outside random .rar files weakly scattered around Rapidshare. If you -do- find Spoon as an import, though, I want the songs too.

They probably are not in print anymore would be the problem most likely. Out of print single country releases are pretty hard to find at the best of times.

Emiliana Torrini - I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You.

Yeah Tom Waits covers are good.

Yay, atmospheric death metal!

R.E.M. - Good Advices

Mmmm, mood.

EDIT:

Emiliana Torrini - Premier Lovin'

I'm really biased towards blues/jazz.

'Til Tuesday feat. Elvis Costello - The Other End of the Telescope

This is really great. I can't really emphasize enough how unorthodox and awesome Everything's Different Now is considering the band's evolution. I really have to wonder how would 'Til Tuesday have sounded if it didn't dissolve into the aether after this album.

Murder By Death - The Organ Grinder.

Happiest cynical song with the man and woman being killed.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #1215 on:** October 21, 2009, 11:58:35 PM »

Aimee Mann - Observatory

Happiest cynical song with a lesbian couple not being together.

Sierra · « **Reply #1216 on:** October 22, 2009, 12:13:32 AM »

Warren Zevon: Excitable Boy

Happy cynical song about a homicidal maniac. I can't confidently say it's the happiest though, because Maxwell's Silver Hammer also exists.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #1217 on:** October 22, 2009, 12:16:45 AM »

* Jo'ou Ranbu gnaws on the Ciddy out of habit.

10,000 Maniacs - Eden

I will never understand why this song wasn't in the Unplugged, given how they just went with "Our Time In Eden MTV Unplugged" as a concept. Yet, they played JEZEBEL. hurp.

Grefter · « **Reply #1218 on:** October 22, 2009, 12:37:05 AM »

Electric Six - We Were Witchy Witch White Women.

No, this is the happiest cynical song with a lesbian couple not being together. It features the words "Strap on the dirty glove".

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #1219 on:** October 22, 2009, 12:43:16 AM »

I concede.

Elvis Costello & the Attraction - King Horse

I have no idea how I'll respond to the more ballad-like phase of Elvis Costello's music. His rock phase really appeases me, though.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #1220 on:** October 22, 2009, 08:19:47 PM »

The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots Pt. II

EDIT:

The Cure - Pictures Of You

If there's an album from The Cure that I'd recommend period, it'd be Disintegration. Very cohesive and rather beautiful. Equilibrium is a rare beast in this band's discography, but this one pulls it off.

Emiliana Torrini - I'm A Bad Luck A Woman

And I CAAAAAAAAAAN'T SEE THE REASON WHYYY~

Eurythmics - Never Gonna Cry Again

Innersight - 9 & ?

Well, this discovery was just bizarre. It's like taking post-rock, ambient, and Pink Floyd, and shoving it in a blender. The song's appropriately 39:00 minutes long. ;p

Electric Six - Newark Airport Boogie.

HAH COP THAT. Electric Six go out of their way to mock DLer fail.

New album came out a few days ago. Called Kill. It is alright. It isn't as good as Exterminate or Flashy (or... most of the others), but I need to give it a few more spins. No real stand out songs this time, but relatively strong all round. Bit odd for them that way really since they tend to have one or two tracks that really jump out.
