Jimmy Tamborello Vol 1 and 2; Strictly Ballroom and Figurine


Jimmy Tamborello is the mastermind behind bands such as Dntel, The Postal Service, Dublab, Figurine and Strictly Ballroom. He has been a part of a number of projects over the years, so im splitting his discography into volumes for organization purposes. These are his first two bands, and they're probably my favorites. 




Strictly Ballroom is an emo band started in the mid 90's when Tamborello was a DJ at Los Angelas's KXLU. They released 2 EPs and one LP before moving on to other projects.

Figurine was a synth-pop trio consisting of James, Meredith and David Figurine. They released 2 albums, an EP, a remix compilation and a split solo LP before calling it quits around 2001.

Rivers Cuomo


Rivers Cuomo is the frontman of the band Weezer. For the past few years he has been releasing his solo unreleased demoes through a series he calls Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo. So far there have been 3 volumes and a live dvd released, all of which I have included below. I'm also throwing in Deluxe Editions of Weezer's self-titled debut (widely known as The Blue Album), as well as their sophomore effort Pinkerton (my favorite record ever), as both of these releases include Rivers Demoes. Enjoy.
