Is the new Dalek stuff good? I saw them in TBMC about two years ago and they were really great but I haven't heard any of there stuu apart from that.

That one is from a few years back.
They're so much better on record than they are live.
Saw that show in the music centre too and thought it was rubbish.

 

[Wobbler]

Going by that logic I'll either think that their recorded stuff is even better than really great (if my standards are lower than yours) or else I won't like them at all (if my taste i different than yours).
By the way I was talking to a guy in the toilet at that gig. Said he was played live a bit , did a few nights with Decal an Bodkins and was hoping to bring a couple of records out in a while. He told me he used the name Americhord. Much later when the Americhord Ep came out in D1 I was pleased for him that he had put something out finally. I was very suprised to find out Americhord is female. Can you explain this?

 

[aoboa]

I'm pretty sure the explanation is that the guy you were talking to was a chancer.

 

[Wobbler]

Must have been. Still it was a good 18 months before Americhord's debut ep came out. He could have pretended to be someone more well known and more male.

Maybe it was me being pissed and pretending to be my wife.

 

[Wobbler]

Oh I didn't know that was your wife. Maybe it was you. Are you a chancer?

I guess that's not for me to answer

 

[Wobbler]

Fair enough. I'll assume that was you and therefore I can stop being confused. It had been troubling me for about a year. Thanks.

the current listening, though not necessarily favorites them all by any stretch:

missy elliott: the cookbook (worth it for "we run this" alone)
the hafler trio: the sea org (superb, the second track is all made out of bird sounds. was listening to it today walking down a road where birds were singing in the trees. one of the most confusing sonic experiences i have had in a long while)
mirror: shadows (a live album. more varied than their usual stuff, but still very blissful and subtle. beautiful)
andrew chalk: shadows from the album skies (superb, quiet contemplative stuff)
bark psychosis: hex (great in parts)
death in june: cathedral of tears (dire. embarrassingly bad)
tricky: angles with dirty faces (first time hearing it in years. thanks to you d. "mellow", "peyote sings" {reminds me of the heartbreaking "poems" from Nearly God}, "broken homes" and "tear out my eyes" are wonderful. the rest leaves me cold. i find the whole album a bit inconsistant. such a shame "anti histamine" wasn't included on it.)
throbbing gristle: live at goldsmith college, london (basically the "DOA" album done much better)
throbbing gristle: live at the factory, manchester (basically the "20 Jazz Funk Greats" album done much better)
captain beefheart: chickenham's 2cd comp
the monks: demos
faust: the faust tapes (amazing and inspiring)
soft pink truth: do you want the new wave or do you want... (great fun!)
labradford: self titled album and a stable reference (lovely in parts them both, but "mi media naranja" is still my favorite. the vocals dont do all that much for me, i must admit)
mnortham: a great and riverless ocean (a cd full of incredibly immersive and relaxing sound. brilliant)
a clockwork orange soundtrack (the carlos reworkings of beethoven i simply cannot tolerate very well, although they do make me laugh a little. the classical stuff - when its left alone - is excellent though: "the thieving magpie"!)
andrew liles: my long accumulating discontent (hit and miss, but mostly more hit than miss, and when its good its great)

Put about a dozen Venetian Snares albums and EPs on me iPod a few days ago, been listening to them constantly ever since, and have no plans to stop.
The man is a genius.
