...playing a heap of shows in February and March in the U.S next year.
Primavera Sound too...so hopefully that means they'll be looking for other shows in Europe around then.
What's the skinny with Northern Ireland in terms of scenes and gigs?
I know nothing about what's going on up there.
I was talking to a lad from Liverpool in Leeds and he said he played a show in a tower in Antrim owned by Bill Drummond...
So, that's sort of thing, and whatever sort of D.I.Y...
Prompted by some bloke from Sightings putting up this insane live snippet of Minneapolis noiserock legends Cows:
Is there a comprehensive thread for noise rock from the late 80s or early 90s already?
Here's more Cows:
Quintessential noise rock menace right there. Their bassist Kevin...
I suspect this has been mentioned in a few places already.
Juno Records in the UK have something I'm keen to buy. They claim to pay the VAT [import TAX]... anyone bought from them since? Or Boomkat, Norman etc since Brexit hit?
HHV in Germany seems to be goosed given the packaging dilemma...
Just got wind of this happening this weekend. Only found out about Unit 44 recently enough. It's some old barbershop that's been turned into an artspace.
May appeal to a few heads here. All events are free, I believe....
Great to have something like this space in the city. Good on 'em...
So, i was talking to Sean Meadows from June of 44 at Supersonic the other week, and he told me, "we would love to play Dublin. Absolutely" and he was curious about who he would get in touch with to make that happen.
Also Old Man Gloom who absolutely slayed at the same festival...

New thread for posting stuff you've just cottoned on to, and may twig a head or two.
'John Coltrane Stereo Blues' by the Dream Syndicate.
Clean and nasty.
Nicfit from Nagoya, Japan.
Heard this on Steve Lamacq today... album due out next week on Upset the Rhythm...
Interestingly had a split release with the mighty Pinprick Punishment [Dude now stage terrorizes in My Society Pissed keeping the wiggly semi-naked Iggy vibes going] back in the day...
Come here, I'm heading to London for a few days at the end of the month...
Anyone know of any promoters/venues that might be putting on hardcore, metal, metalcore, noise whatever?
Cheers.
I set up a few fantasy leagues for the Euros.
I have a spare one provisionally called Jim Beglin's Bar Tab that can be used for folks on here.
Let me know. Only six hours or so to get your research done and your team picked!
I hadn't a brown clue who to pick. Ended up with 20 mill spare out...
Right, so my Mac crashed a while ago, eh, right after I bought this Western Digital TB passport [external hard-drive].
So, the Mac was fixed, but yer man who fixed it had to recover the "lost" data. When he had recovered the data from my broken Mac, I gave him the new WD to put it on. Right. So...
'The Sign of Four' - Derek Bailey, Pat Metheny, Gregg Bendian & Paul Wertico.
'The Four Arms' - Flower-Corsano Duo.
'Cavalcade' - The Lonesome Organist.

So, I need to replace my Shure M4-77 stylus, but the original product was discontinued in 2018 by Shure.
I watched this video where the guy is raving about this Japanese brand Jico. He disparages a range of M4-77 replacement stylii in the video, but he doesn't say what those "rubbish" brands...
I'm looking to stockpile working VHS players. No preferred brands. Just as long as it's working
Will offer cash, or possible trade for records/cds/books.
Might be a bit of a long shot, being 2020, but you never know what people have knocking about that they don't need or use.
...thus, anything really is possible.
I'm starting to do a new two hour radio show, eh, mostly from my apartment.
The concept is simple: to play a mix of experimental, marginalised or alternative music, but not alternative in the sense of 'Razorblade Suitcase' by Bush, with a no-holds barred...
Put some vinyl up for sale. All in v. good knick, some in great knick.
Just stuff I have no interest. I'm in Ireland until roughly the end of February, so pm or message me below if you have any interest:
'The Dance of the Headless Bourgeois' 2xLP - No Means No [15 eu]
'All Roads Lead to...
This band are like an unholy cross between Big Black, GvsB, Jawbox and Bitch Magnet
bam, what the fuck was going on in those post-Husker years? What were the feeding the students in the water?
New album is a stunner. Doug Scharin has left the picture.
This is some of the best Enablers stuff I've heard. It's not all great, but when it's good it's very good.
Just seen they've been tipping around the UK, but have passed already. Did they ever recover that stolen guitar from the Grand...

Trying to off-load some vinyl and cds to a lesser extent.
hopefully the above link works.
Cds can go for 3 or 4eu. Not too bothered, don't expect much interest in them.
Most full albums are going for 10eu. Some can go for 5eu or maybe even less.
Except for...
