currently listening to throwing muses - hunkpapa, and thinking:
*this was the walkman soundtrack to my life for a large chunk of second year in college.
*my god, i remember all the words! same with lots of albums i owned in my youth, probably because i had so few of them. well, compared with now.
*"fall down" is an absolutely amazing song.
*this cd rerelease has "santa claus" on it, which i first heard on a free tape i got with the melody maker. nostalgia-tastic.

yeah the candyman soundtrack is rad - kinda funny going from koyanasquatsi to candyman...although candyman is the shit - no disrepect to that movie.

i'm listening to the wu tang clan. 36 chambers. i remember getting this hwen i was 14 on casette and being like "woah" and my cousin gave me shit for playing it non stop for a weekend - the front and back art is amazing - i have no idea why they went away from the faceless hooded look on their covers in favour of uh whatever bullshit they threw up afterwards. ghostface kills it straight off! and ghost face looks rad all faceless and blurry in the proper group shot on the inside.
i'm guessing the soundtrack to kill bill doesn't sound like this?

iron maiden - 'killers' ! i lost it pretty shortly afterwards though and me ma went crazy. damien bought it for me again for my 21st i think. sweet present.

Wilbert is big into Thin Lizzy

and Black Betty by the Ram Jam Band

he's always singing:

oh oh Black Betty bam a lam
oh oh Black Betty bam a lam
Black Betty had a child bama lam
The damn thing gone blind bam a lam
She says it were not-a mine bam a lam
The dern thing gone blind bam a lam

...while playing air guitar, knees to the floor

Incidentally, the whole "bam a lam" thing is a Hari Krishna chant type thing. Chanting for rednecks. Did you know that? It's completely true.

I could protest my innocence but I fear it would make me look guilty.
I'll get you for this, Snaky!
We need a "shaking fist" icon around here.

GEORGE JONES - The Definitive Country Collection

Since Johnny Cashs' untimely death it's very easy nowadays to profess a liking for 'country cool' and the natural bandwagon jumping that follows a singers death usually leads to everyone suddenly saying that singer was such and such and so and so and had such an influence on me etc etc etc.. But George Jones' doesn't need to die for any of us to re-evaluate his legacy or his majestic stature as a true country giant. He has a voice of pure velvet, lyrics that bring out the haunted in all of us and no matter how bleak he goes, it never gets too much for the listener to bear.

At present, his song "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes" has a particular resonance in the wake of Cashes death: "You know this old world is full of singers / But just a few are chosen / To tear your heart out when they sing / Imagine life without them / All your, radio heroes / Like the outlaw that walks through Jesse's dream

No, there will never be another / Red-headed stranger / A Man in Black and Folsom Prison Blues / The Okie from Muskogee / Or Hello Darling / Lord I wonder, who's gonna fill their shoes..."

There'll be few capable of ever filling the shoes of George Jones or indeed Johnny Cash.

Yes, I have been at the office sherry. Hic!

I'm listening to March to Fuzz by Mudhoney, which is a double album compilation thingy (roughly 50 songs) of their early stuff.
Great album, great songs like In 'N' Out Of Grace, Let It Slide, Ounce Of Deception...bleedin deadly rock music...i havent heard any of their recent stuff though...i hear its not that hot though...pity.

New against me and weakerthans albums
Still trying to figure out if they're classics

 

[taubstumm]

the new album by meanwhile, back in communist russia...

it's perilously close to goth at points, but most of the time it's excellent, with a few really standout bits. there's nods to prolapse (girl blankly monologuing over rolling guitars), early mogwai (like, pre-young team, glockenspiel-era), the for carnation (mostly quiet brooding sounds), 90 day men (cool 2-chord piano stuff), joy division (the aul synth drums n' swooshy keyboards) and sonic youth (of course). however, it's pretty original in its own right, and lyrics are all about seastorms in winter, as far as i can see.

there's a site: www.meanwhilebackincommunistrussia.com

Where did you get Volcano, brady? Yea bring that Jellyfish cd to the party, was i supposed to copy you something? Ghost Of A Dog maybe?

I got it from amazon.com for $11 or something. I got Ghost of a Dog & Picture Perfect Morning from there too a while back so that's all cool.

I have that Jellyfish CDR in work since back then.... i might have to burn it again. Winner.

Now playing: Forget what it's called, but the CD of the Bill Cullen sketches from The Last Word. Amazing.
