Ever heard of a guy named Dicky Barret? You should have. He is the lead singer for the multi-platinum ska-punk/skacore band The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. But before that, he was the singer for a relatively unknown Boston hardcore band called Impact Unit. Pretty average classic hardcore, but very cool to hear Dicky's distinctive voice from before anybody knew who he was. From what I know, this is all Impact Unit ever put out.
.rar also contains album cover, back cover, and inserts (all originally upped @ 7inchpunk)

Impact Unit - My Friend The Pit
Photek - Form And Function
A compilation of sorts, this album contains all six singles from Photek Records, tracks that made a name for Rupert Parkes in the jungle community, but only four of them are originals, the rest being remixes and two new productions. Despite the lack of originals on this album, there is no lack of originality. This album has excellent production, but it isn't overwhelming sonically, at times one would even say it's extremely sparse. This is right up there with Goldie's Timeless as one of my favorite drum 'n' bass/jungle albums.

Max Levine Ensemble - 3 albums
The other night I was on What (if you don't know, you don't need to) looking under the tag "folk punk". I started by going to a band I knew I liked, This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb. That led me to another band, Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains, who despite being broken up, are AMAZING. That band led me to the Max Levine Ensemble. I expected to hear folk punk, but it turns out it was pop-punk with some ska-punk. A pleasant surprise. I suppose they were tagged as folk punk because they are on Plan-It-X Records, but that's the only thing. The lead singer has a voice that should be in a folk punk band, high and nasal sounding, but they make it work. Imagine Against All Authority, if they lightened up a little bit.

Sonny Rollins - Saxophone Colossus
I love the sound of a saxophone. It always sounds so good when leading a jazz band. Especially if it's in the hands of someone like Sonny Rollins. A brilliant, talented, and inventive player, Sonny Rollins is a jazz legend (and possibly the best jazz saxophonist) for a reason. With a career spanning over 50 years, it's hard to find a place to start. This album is Sonny doing some of his best ever, and is one of those albums that gets a first time listener to become a full on jazz fan.

Stay here, because there's a GREAT bunch of updates coming in the next few days.
The National - 3 albums
The National's critically acclaimed 2007 release Boxer, is one of my favorite albums. Ever since the first time I heard songs like "Fake Empire" and "Ada" I've thought to myself, "I should get the rest of their albums." Two years later, after having that same thought over and over again, I finally did. If you've heard Boxer, which was piano-heavy and stunningly beautiful, you're in for more of a surprise than newcomers to the band. The band's other albums have a similar sound but are much more indie rock, relying more on guitar. This in no way means that the albums aren't good, because they deserve every ounce of the critical acclaim they received.

New Layout/Template
Let me know what you think of the new look! I like it a lot, but it still needs work to be just right.
I've customized this one quite a bit, and I haven't had a chance to play around with the HTML much, but I'll get to that later.
Egghead - 2 Albums
I've combed the net looking for anything by these guys. Great pop-punk with an intentionally nerdy feel, they're one of the best bands I can almost guarantee you've never heard of.

Fugazi - Red Medicine
More loose and experimental than it's precursors, Red Medicine is another fantastic album by Ian Mackaye's (Minor Threat) Fugazi. Staying true to Mackaye's diehard punk ethics, this mid-90's gem perfectly criticizes the boom of bands that would get signed amongst the ska/pop-punk craze. Dark, angry, and humorous at the same time, this album takes 90's punk and kicks its ass.

Lord of the Rings Trilogy OSTs
Ah, the official soundtracks (OSTs) of the epic, beautiful, masterpieces that are the Lord of the Rings films. The same can be said about the OSTs and the books themselves. The music brings back memories of kings, epic battles, and the long journey, when you don't have a chance to re-watch the movies. They are among my favorite soundtracks, and quite possibly the most epic and intense of them. Highly recommended that you download these, it provides an experience that can only be matched by actually watching the films.

Kronos Quartet - Kronos Quartet Plays Sallien, Glass, Sculthorpe, Hendrix, Nancarrow
The title of this album should give away the surprise that awaits. Covers of those distinctly different artists all on one album? The Kronos Quartet is know for such diversity and talent. Definitely worth a listen.

The Knack - Get the Knack
Everybody's heard the Knack whether they realize it or not. If you've heard that insanely catchy "My Sharona" you've heard the Knack. This new wave debut has been called an attempt to make the Beatles new wave, that doesn't sound bad, and neither does this pop gem.

Let Me Run - Meet Me At the Bottom
I don't normally post new releases, because TotallyFuzzy deletes your update if you have new releases, but I couldn't pass this one up. If you like The Gaslight Anthem, you're going to like this band too. Very similar sound (I think GA is better though) and on the same record label. Be sure to check this out, PunkNews.org called this "The first must-have album of 2009."

Pekinska Patka - Plitka Poezija
First studio album by the Yugoslavian punk legends, whose name in English is "Peking Duck". Great sound, great name, very similar to the 77-79 British sound, but distinctly different.
