[Trousers and Pat]

I really like it! I first heard of it through Momus' blog (Click Opera) and then d/l it. I might buy it when I get back to the U.K in a couple of weeks, but there are so many good albums around atthe moment.

The nicest surprise on that album is a weirdly flat version of The Cure's 'Lament' (from The Walk/Japanese Whispers) which really works very well indeed. It's a hard album to describe, full of bizarre instrumentation, sweet girl vocals, and addictivelittle mini-hooks all over the place.

Here's that Cure cover :

Thanks Nick! These two are really fun. I will redouble my efforts to track it down.

because of the way my move happened, i only have a record player in my room right now (well, actually, the tape and cd player made it late last night, but aren't hooked up yet). so split lip's "for the love of the wounded" has been on pretty constant rotation, especially the song "sleep". i've also been listening to the "nuggets" and "nuggets II" box sets recently, though not since i started moving on saturday. this morning, since i was bored of most of what's in my backpack, i grabbed a bunch of cassettes out of a few of the crates that are at the top of the 5 foot high stacks in the dining room (aka my library, though right now it's just a huge pile of boxes). those being:

fudge - southside speedway
the candy skins - fun?
geek - hammer
sonic youth - made in usa
the auteurs - now i'm a cowboy
gameface - three to get ready
grenadine - goya

only listened to fudge and the candy skins so far.

but mostly this weekend was all about the songs stuck in my head, since i didn't really have time to listen to anything. this is what i can remember getting stuck in my head for hours at a time:

split lip - sleep
the minutemen - spillage
van morrison - sweet thing
texas is the reason - the magic bullet theory

[SPACERACE]

isn't "last exit" good?

[Nick Ink]

isn't "last exit" good?

No, it's utterly invincibly great.

[justinh]

It gets better every time.

[Nick Ink]

It gets better every time.

Have you heard the new one justin?

[Nick Ink]

It gets better every time.

Have you heard the new one justin?

Er, whoops, maybe we should save that conversation for when it's actually released.  

[justinh]

nope, not yet.  But i'm fairly stoked about it.  My appreciation of them has been growing by leaps and bounds lately.

[Maaik]

Last night, I sat down with the boombox and my newly alphebetized cd collection and tossed in a bunch of stuff I haven't listened to in a while.  I think the evening went something like this:

Ministry: "Reload"

The Melvins:
"Mombius Hibachi"
"Lovely Butterfly"
"Larry Lauders Walking Stick Tree"
"In The Freaktose The Bugs Are Dying"
(has anyone noticed that Honky ends with like forty five minutes of silence with nothing hidden at the end?  Crazy.)
"Black Stooges"
"Dr. Geek"
(has anyone noticed Hostile Ambient Takeover?  I've had it for years now and this is the first time I actually sat down and put it on.)

John Cale: Paris 1919

[Andrew_TSKS]

hah, myke, have you heard "colossus of destiny"? that shit is REALLY out there.

[Maaik]

I have not.  Last time I was really up on what the Melvins were up to was when they released that trio of albums on Ipecac--the maggot, the bootlicker and the crybaby.  I remember they released some sort of box set a while back, what was in that?

[Andrew_TSKS]

actually, i don't know! hahah, i didn't know that existed. i'm not but so up on what they're releasing these days either, but i do know that they just did an album that's just them performing all of "houdini" plus a couple of songs that were bonus tracks or b-sides for that album. i need to hear that, it's apparently quite the enlightening experience.

[Andrew_TSKS]

i decided to break my usual rule and do a full-on post on this thread.

so these are the albums i've been listening to today:





that's, in order:

the best of the velvet underground: words and music of lou reed
the swirlies - what to do about them
the boo radleys - everything's allright forever
the boo radleys - giant steps
neil young and crazy horse - everybody knows this is nowhere
the carl stalling project - music from warner bros. cartoons 1936-58, vol. 1

[monkeypants]

Yesterday and today:

Prince Far I - Cry Tuff Dub Encounter Chapter One
Yabby You - Beware Dub
Tin Hat Trio - Helium
The Thing - Garage
Beat Happening - Jamboree

[justinh]

I think the modest mouse/marr thread caused me to spin a bunch of MM records:



Edited for more and to say that the fifth one, in the middle, is Born into Trouble as the Sparks fly upwards by A Silver Mount Zion, who I'm seeing tonight (woohoo) and third to last is Is this Real? by the Wipers.

[Ah_Pook]

boards of canada - music has the right to children
cephalic carnage - conforming to abnormality (reissue)
morbid angel - covenant

[Andrew_TSKS]

that's, in order:

gnarls barkley - st. elsewhere
haven - between the senses
dirty pretty things - waterloo to anywhere
james gang - rides again

under normal circumstances i would never listen to that james gang record, but rolling stone's running a recent article about joe walsh made me nostalgic for "funk #49", and so i dug out what is probably my oldest dubbed cassette. i taped my copy of "james gang rides again" from one of my down-the-street neighbors when i was 12 years old. he and his wife were my dad's age, but were really nice to me when i was a preteen, and i'd go over and play with their 3 year old and talk to them and stuff. i was way into 60s music at the time (i guess that's a pretty common phase for preteen boys, as is the "led zeppelin is the only band that's worth anything" phase, which happened when i was 11), and they had some records that my dad didn't, so i taped a few of them. this is the only one i still have, and predates any other dubbed tapes i own by at least a couple years (it may predate every purchased cassette i own too, as i sold a lot of my preteen cassette collection when i got into punk rock). i don't think i'd listened to it, before last week, since i was 15 or so, but amazingly enough it still sounded great. however, i still made a copy of it just in case, and that's what i've been listening to.
