OK Here goes I hope I won't be expelled for doing this before it is my turn. In my own defence I most say there is a reason. Someone explained to me how this uploading shit works and we used this remarkable album for it. I thought since it is only valid for 7 days, that I would put it to good use. I hope it is alright with you guys. I just hope that not everyone has it yet.

Blonde Redhead ~ Misery is a butterfly

This is an amazing album their best so far. This album shows a band that has developed from a impetuous noise band into the dreamy elfish mystery. The vocals can either throw you off completely or they will suck you in full hearted. There doesn’t seem to be anything in the middle.
I sort of liked the first two albums, they just never did as much for me as the gigs I saw. I kinda lost track of them for a while before rediscovering them in 2004 when Misery was released. The albums prior to this one already show great improvement to the first releases, however there was no clue that this nice noise band would grow so rapidly form one album to the next. They went from exciting at times to pure aesthetic through out a whole album.
I can’t say which songs I like best, it changes form time to time. I love the voice of the male singer very much, still the fragile singing of the lady bass player has this weird elfish quality that lifts me into a cloud world.

I hope this is new to you guys and that you find it great, as I do.

Track list

ELEPHANT WOMAN
MESSENGER
MELODY
DOLL IS MINE
MISERY IS A BUTTERFLY

Together in the darkness, alone in the light.

    Well that is a shame then. At least Stone didn't have it yet. Or at least I hope so. I couldn't find anything on Blonde redhead on this board so I just figured that it might be new.

    How was I to know it had already been discussed. Does this mean that Yosi's album can't be downloaded anymore?
    I am not really good at this computer stuff, and now that I had something I thought I'd share now that I could. I wasn't sure if I was able to do so later, due to my lack of abilities with computers. I just wanted to give something in return.

    its ok.....I finally got to hear this record since I missed it the first time around. No big deal. You will at least be able to pick a new record when your turn rolls around.
