Some of you may know that awhile back I decided to attempt to make a series of 'World Charts', 14 to be precise, it's a big undertaking but fun, so far I've only got the first one off private but even that is in it's preliminary stages, I've scrapped charts on numerous occasions till I found a system I was happy with but after settling on one I began again properly. Anyway, the reason I mention said chart is cause I'm now listening to an album for it:
Start Today by Gorilla Biscuits
I've always been a massive fan of punk like this, right up my alley so throw some recs my way!
I LOVE Start Today! ๐ The Washington D.C. hardcore scene influenced this quite a bit I think. Here r two other hardcore albums I think you'd dig based on this...
Sorry didn't get around to this earlier, it's been a crazy evening. ๐
Much thanks for the recs guys!! Really excited to hear them!! Will get on them ASAP.
In the meantime I managed to squeeze in a bit of listening with this, that I've been meaning to get around to for a long time.

In Towers & Clouds by The Immediate
Pretty cool album, the band only had one release and was pretty much a precursor to Villagers for those of you that are familiar with them, this is pretty different, interesting stuff!
Apologies about the lack of depth thus far, spent 10+ in uni, tomorrow will be different _________________
This whole thing has been fabulous! I only just now had a chance to read through the whole thing.
The whole thing you said about discovering Dylan and how tht influenced you musically was music to my ears. I essentially had the same experience with Dylan when I was 12 or 13 only difference was it was the song "Ballad Of Hollis Brown" and the album The Times They Are A-Changin'.
Anyway, glad you're a Dylan brother and again really loving this ULL so far! _________________ -Ryan

Thanks so much, glad you like it!
I guess it was an unusual album to get into Dylan via, but I'm so grateful I did discover him like that, I wouldn't have it any other way! Desire is one of 3 Dylan albums currently on my overall chart (The other 2 being Blonde On Blonde and Highway 61 Revisited), I have a lot of affection for The Times They Are A-Changin', probably in my top 5 Dylan albums at the moment, though that's an ever changing list. North Country Blues gets me everytime.
Thanks again, glad to hear you're enjoying this so far! ๐
Anyway, I'm sitting outside waiting for my section of uni to open at 9, currently listening to the new Belle & Seb single, it's a different approach from them, but they still manage to excite me, no matter what they do.
and I totally fell in love with it....so nice record!
Great to hear you enjoyed it! My number one album for this year so far!
I can't recommend 'Among The Leaves' enough, as you may have seen from the earlier post, though 'Admiral Fell Promises' is also incredible! Well worth a listen!
I've been in lectures all morning and I'm still in for another while, I did listen to 'Street Fighting Man' by The Rolling Stones while I went down to get lunch, made me feel cool, but that's been the extent of my listening since this morning. _________________
