Folk Implosion -- Dare To Be Surprised

  A beat driven nerdy noise indie rock album, very far from the usual Lou Barlow sound, it's got a kinda big city feel, probably why the Folk Implosion was the perfect backdrop for the New York centric film Kids.

Primal Scream -- Screamadelica

  A sort of Stonesy style Spacemen 3 minimalist indie rock album, I'm sure that has nothing to do with Jimmy Miller producing some of the tracks, mixed with Happy Mondays-esque house grooves, definitely perfect for sunny day fun or when you are psychedelically out of it!

Kimya Dawson -- Remember That I Love You

  Super cutesy indie folk album by Kimya Dawson.  This record sounds like what I wish my life was like, carefree, fun, but still awkwardly super weird!

Beck -- One Foot In The Grave

  A kinda lofi indie folk rock album produced by Calvin Johnson from Beat Happening.  One Foot In The Grave is very reminiscent of early Sebadoh record format, which is pretty much all of the place but in specific genres, although Beck is more rhythmically drenched in country and blues, but it's the same basic principle, and proves that Beck was more than a novelty act or corporate super star!

Bob Dylan -- Nashville Skyline

   Another chapter in the reinvention of Bobby D, this time around he's a country crooner who hangs out with Johnny Cash.  Honestly if it didn't say Bob Dylan and have his picture on the cover you would have no clue it was him.  This album set the template for the likes of James Taylor and Ry Cooder, yet again proving that Dylan was ahead of the curve.

The Byrds -- The Notorious Byrd Brothers

  Will dealing with a boat load of internal strife, The Byrds pull out probably my favorite one of their albums, it's a kinda baroque rock record, just imagine where Big Star's Third/ Sister Lovers started from. 

The Jimi Hendrix Experience -- Electric Ladyland

  The third and final chapter for the experience, not saying this album isn't great but way too much of a stereotypical Hendrix style musical masturbation than I'd like to endure.
