Music BuzzSome truly brilliant work from BuzzFeed readers over this weekend in creating a couple of hundred totally convincing rock albums using the Wikipedia Album Generator. Objectively speaking, this may be one of the best things that has ever happened - I'm still checking back every hour or so to look at the new ones. Here are a few of my favorites so far. You can make your own to add to the collection here.
Despite early hype, a 3.4 rating from Pitchfork made certain that Drugstore Beetle’s debut album “Better With Soup Than Without” would also be their last. The one-line review of the album would serve as Drugstore Beetle’s eptiaph: “Better without. Trust me.”[link]

“Jonas Norberg is the inventor of The Pacemaker, the pocket-size DJ system and founder of Tonium, the company developing the product”. Well I've never heard of it, but I have heard of his solo album titled 'insanity in individuals'.
'survival' is the debut album from French 'Techno headz' Petit-Bourg. Like a cross between Basement Jaxx and Squarepusher's earlier offerings, this is s surefire party starter and finisher in one.
'Something must be done about them' is the new acclaimed album from Welsh, lo-fi/Drone/Post Rock trio - Tecumseh. Released hot on the heels of their four month US tour, supporting the likes of Heavy Winged, Inca Ore & C*nts with Roses, the album is a dark, reassuringly unnerving, comfort blanket of filth, with all the wrongness and shameful amusement of a travelling freakshow. Delicious!
A stunning debut album from Norwegian folk/electronica button pushers - Red Auerbach. Set to be released on cd and limited vinyl (500 copies) on October 14th, this will be the perfect Autumnal soundtrack.
You cannot get anymore hardcore than Look-Aside Interface! Listening to their album “Legislature is in Session” makes me feel like such a wimp in my studded jacket and combat boots. I'm such a poseur… I'm not worthy!

The Best of 'Wikipedia Names Your Band'

This is one of those albums you find hidden within your parents' 1970s record collection. You blow dust off the cover before playing it and discovering that LSD and Saigon brothels were perhaps the least of their youthful transgressions.
After playing shows in the mountainous regions of Kickapoo, Missouri, 150th Fighter Wing broke into the folk scene in 2003 with their debut album, Change When We Change. The band's latest album, At The Top of One's Voice, layers Tommy Oh'Alphin's “don't-wake-the-neighbors” vocal sketches with pastoral string section to induce simply beautiful results. With standout tracks like “Mistaken,” don't be surprised if you find 150th Fighter Wing at the top of the folk charts and beyond.
