Today is the start of something new, a revolution of sorts. Well, alright, I may be acting a tad dramatic, but today is the start of a rather prominent vicissitude in the Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice schedule. Instead of the scheduled Saturday B-Sides & Rarities post, every Saturday will be a post about two of my favorite albums of all time (If you know me, you know that I have an unprecedented amount of favorite albums). Now, this should come as no surprise, as I warned you that schedules don't mean much to me, and this blog will be ever evolving. Now, let's get started with this event, which is surely as historic as the Epic First Post.
My two favorite albums for this week (and these are so cliché that even I cringed) are In The Aeroplane Over The Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel, and If You're Feeling Sinister by Belle & Sebastian. Here's a little bit about both those albums;
In The Aeroplane Over The Sea - Quite possibly my favorite record of all time, this album was actually given a perfect 10 by the assholes at Pitchfork. It is a beautiful album inspired by the Diary Of Anne Frank. I could quite honestly go on for a couple more pages, ranting and raving about this album but you can't even begin to grasp what it means without listening to it first. So without further ado ...
Two Headed Boy - Neutral Milk Hotel
In The Aeroplane Over The Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel
Communist Daughter - Neutral Milk Hotel
King of Carrot Flowers Pt.1 - Neutral Milk Hotel
If You're Feeling Sinister - Belle & Sebastian's tour de force, in my opinion, is If You're Feeling Sinister. This collection of songs is definitely Stuart Murdoch's finest songwriting achievement, and it was the album that showcased Belle & Sebastian's literate, delicate pop music to an American audience for the first time. This is an album I could also rave about for pages, but not unlike In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, you won't really understand what I'm saying without listening. Here's the title track;
If You're Feeling Sinister - Belle & Sebastian
I highly suggest getting your hands on a copy of these albums, if you don't already have them, that is.
Enjoy
