Over Arm Throw - "Dumb Reminders" (No Use For A Name cover)
These guys are really good at playing their instruments, but their grasp on the English language (or lack thereof) makes this cover a complete gut-buster.
TNX - "Why Doesn't Anybody Like Me?" (No Use For A Name cover)
Another Japanese No Use For A Name cover, but this band actually took the time to learn the words.
The Lord Weird Slough Feg - Traveller
It's metal, and not particularly proggy, which is odd for me, but it is an awesome space opera story.
Prince--Purple Rain but I can't find anything to link due to his Formernesses's anti-internet polioy. :(
I didn't find Slough Feg til later Ape Uprising! Track 7 Ape Outro. The vocals reminded me of Dee Snider. Met a guy at GenCon with the band shirt. He'd been to about 12 of their shows. Would love to see them live!
A comrade of mine from Worcester who wears My Bloody Valentine t-shirts and wears a man-bun played drums on this. I wonder what it sounds like...

Old Man Gloom - The Ape of God
Had a weird release with a fake review copies (with alternate mixes in a different sequence) and was then released as two albums with the same name.
Hard to find the real thing online. The link is to the head-messing version.

I just realized that my reasons for liking two of my favorite bands are quite similar, despite the bands' outward dissimilarity.
3-piece NoCal punk band Jawbreaker features a tight rhythm section comprising bassist Chris Bauermeister and drummer Adam Pfahler. Singer/guitarist Blake Schwarzenbach sounds OK at singing and guitar, but writes amazing lyrics that drive the songs home.
3-piece Canadian prog rock band Rush features a tight rhythm section comprising singer/bassist Geddy Lee and drummer Neil Peart. Guitarist Alex Lifeson is very good, but pales in comparison to his bandmates, and Peart's lyrics shine through it all.
Compare:
Maybe I'm just going nuts. I don't know.

I had never heard of him, til I ran across his obituary, but I just watched a two-part video of him and The Ex.
It was pretty badass.

My favoritist album of all The Trials of Vanoccupanther by Midlake

I like it because it's better at being mid '70s Fleetwood Mac than mid '70s Fleetwood Mac were.
I'm still not sure about The Courage Of Others. I should like it even more, but have never really managed to get into it. Maybe it needs a few more listens...

A friend recommended that I listen to Baroness' latest album, Purple. I haven't gotten around to listening to the whole thing, mainly because I've been listening to this one song on repeat for days:
