I was just popping by my favorite second hand store while I was visiting Bodø (I live 2 hours away). And I found some real nuggets there.

Mark Lanegan Band - Bubblegum
Aw, you all gotta agree that this is a really great record. Amazing songs, and two killer duets by the whiskey-and-ciggie-voiced man and Polly Jean Harvey.
Fantasic record, mine for just a couple of bucks.

Bob Mould - Bob Mould
Okay, the cover does not look appealing at all, but this record is very fine. Bob Moulds sweet voice, and some really, really good popsongs.
Also very cheap.

And finally this one(on vinyl).
The Cars - Panorama
I had only heard Just What I needed by the band, and that was one hell of a song. But this record, meh, couple of good tracks, but mainly shit.
Mint condition by the way, 3 bucks.

What do ya think about these albums?

[porkmarras]

After their initial success & before they embraced MTV pop fully, The Cars made their third album, Panorama. It finds The Cars disregarding their previous formulas & on their way to discovering their more pop-friendly sound that they would realize with Shake It Up. Regarding Panorama's sound, one can detect the influence of Devo, Sparks, Kraftwerk & perhaps Ben Orr's purchasing of some keyboard equipment & the dismissal of Greg Hawkes. Despite being keyboard-laden, it also features some of Elliot Easton's most jammin' guitar in parts. Some fans swear by it, some hate it. The 1978 s/t is their best in my opinion. It's an all-time great & simply a must. It was artists like The Cars and Bruce Springsteen that helped keep guitar rock alive. Their second record, Candy-O, is still very good as well. Personally, I like Panorama, but I'm someone that likes the even poppier Shake It Up & Heartbeat City.

Bob Mould's work with Sugar, the band he formed after Husker Du, is pretty good stuff all around.

I like the Bob Mould hubcap album more than some of his others. Good songs on it. There's a fucking great song he didn't include on it that's a b-side of the Egoverride single called Eternally Fried. He used a drum machine on that album.

I wonder if anyone has got Nova Mob's album(i think it's the only one they've made but i'm not sure).Not a great record per se but the song 'Old Empire' rocks da house maaann!
