Please give me some input! I am stuck in the '90s, and looking to expand my horizons beyond King Khan :)

Got it on right now, thanks fer the thumbs-up. Lord Knows Best, uptempo piano, but the rest is prozac music, weird, you hit the nail on the head 'Lynchian'...

Has anyone heard the album Badlands by Dirty Beaches? It's like a Lynchian nightmare in a good way. Very haunting rockabilly. That has to be my 2011 fave fo sho.

No problem, thanks for replying. It's great to meet so many like-minded people :)

 I haven't heard of almost any of these but from the couple I've just checked out they almost all seem rad. 

I put out a record in 2011 called "Live Fast Die Poor" it's punk rock but it ranges in influence from 60s pop/Motown to 77 Punk rock. Not like "Rah Rah" punk. I'll post up some more songs on my profile eventually, I've been meaning to, but it's been a busy month!

The Love Me Nots "the demon and the devotee" gets my vote though. It's phenomenal.

Listening to 'You're Really Something' not too shabby...

Glazin' by Jacuzzi Boys is pretty awesome, as well as the last Bad Sports LP. I also dig At Maximum Volume by the booze, a lot!

[John Battles]

The Dyes' first CD , That's probably from 2010 , but it was such a lousy year for new releases , we'll make it two .... The Stones 2 CD "sOME gIRLS " reissue set , Alarm Clocks -Live , Stooges -Raw Power Live (Does'nt even touch on what they're now capable of , but , nice to have. ) , "Destroy That Boy " (COMP.) , DAVE BERRY 2 cd retrosopective , Rationals (Same), Ray Charles Live (re -issue , bonus cuts.), Jerry Lee Lewis "Mean Old Man" , Fever Tree Live , Human Beinz - Live in Japan , Stones - Exile re-ish. Kind of a gyp , widely bootlegged tracks , with new vocals , hyped as "Lost outtakes" , but , fuck me , they still sound good. DON WAS HAS MADE THE STONES RELEVANT AGAIN. I mean , in THIS day and age.
