[GARYXKNIFEDX]

Been listening to the b side of the Time Machine 7' on repeat today. 20c at a car boot sale,an old NI punk/power pop band on Rip Off records. The a side is awful,but the b side is so good. Definately more power pop than punk though.

Effigy Of The Forgotten - Suffocation

that's it. quiet day.

 

[Jerry Twig]

Quality any good?
I remember some dudes in my area went up to this.

yeah, not bad at all. was recorded for radio, not sure if it was RTE or local radio but. recorded only off the desk by the sounds of it, crowd are practically inaudible between songs, and its a bit quiet but everything is in its proper place.

It's a great set actually. what did the 'dudes' say about it, do you know?

One of them had been an original Joy Division fan since 1979 and said he was awestruck. The other two would have been more casual fans as far as I remember but enjoyed it. I have a vague memory of one of them saying that the crowd was somewhat rough. They would have been 17 or 18 at the time. Blue Monday had just come out but that was the only New Order song I knew then.

 

[Jerry Twig]

Yeah, i couldn't believe New Order played Kilkenny in 83. Nobody from there ever mentioned it to me before.
I know the Rose Hill, now Hotel Kilkenny. Would have been quite the dodgy nightclub in those days. It's a big venue too. I'd say it would have held 1500-2000.
They played Blue Monday. It sounds deadly on the recording.
If you 'wishlist' this on Soulseek, the gig is easy enough to come by.

I put on a indie night in Hotel Kilkenny in June 1992. Ended up owing them money which they graciously waived when I told them I was 'fucked for cash'.

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

Any good?
I bought A Little Touch Of Schmillson In The Night by mistake. Don't really like it.

Yeah i love it.

Pussy cats is really good too.

it's a compilation.

Mento is traditional Jamaican Folk Music, it came about before reggae, dancehall or ska. It's played on simple folk instruments, usually a guitar, a banjo or fiddle, hand drums or shakers and a rumba box (a very large mbira or thumb piano in the low bass register). The songs are traditionally chock-full of bawdy double entendres and poorly veiled sexual humor, which makes them rowdy and fun. Some people refer to this music as Jamaican Calypso, but its different in rhythm, instrumentation and lyrical content than Trinidadian Calypso.

This collection is a wonderful mix of some of the mento greats of yesteryear... and realistically, there aren't really any mento greats of today, The Jolly Boys and The Overtakers are about all that there is left. The songs included here are well-chosen and present a really nice picture of the mento sound, feel and, very importantly, the humor of this almost-lost genre of folk music. Of particular note are the Lord Fly cuts, Lord Fly was perhaps the only mento artist to become "famous" and his name might actually ring a bell to early reggae and ska fans.

herbert - scales - meh
clap your hands say yeah - this is all right - a couple of great tunes
leonard cohen - the essential... - not music to listen too with a couple of yokes in ya - some good songs, but loads of shite ones

sadly, the cd player couldn't play mp3s so we couldn't listen to soft cell.
