Dud, the difference between you and Chickenham going on about yesser records is that people like the Jimmy Cake. The only people who'll be going crazy for our record is you me and Pat. And maybe Andy.
Cat Power: fucking jaysus awful. it's official.
Scott 3: you. settlerface. stop namby pambying about how you don't like Scott 2. you just bought the wrong album. buy Scott 3 cos it's fucking great.
Drive Like Jehu: sparse is deadly.
Hey Andy, are you the only person that buys Christian Marclay records made of sandpaper, then plays them and enjoys them?

Me listen: Opiate - Sometimes, Jape - Cosmosphere, Boris - Ibitsu.
You: fuck off.
It's: 5.27am. Pricks.

Listened to Stereolab's Refried Ectoplasm (Switched On Volume 2) very loudly on the walkman on the way into work.

I know it's not that alternative, but hey... at least I didn't open a copy of the Wire and write down all the bands reviewed there.

Oh... listened to Cat on Form's Mp3. Deadly buzz. Waaaaaa!

..took a taxi to work and drowned out the annoying chatter of taxi driver with the soothing "blocks" by the last sound. Best electronic album last year bar none. I still feel happy dispite the fact that I'm now stuck in front of a p.c. Bah!

 

[rumpus]

wow Old, looks like the delusion and sleep deprivation afforded you what alchoholics call 'a moment of clarity'.

good onya.

You fishing for compliments, old? Here's one - I like The Corpo and, in fact, prefer them to The Jimmy Cake

 

[minka]

today's randomly grabbed bunch o cds:

manitoba - up in flames (which is, indeed, deadly)
the smiths - the world won't listen (see minka relive her teenage years)
john cale - paris 1919 (yay)
boards of canada - in a beautiful place out in the country (ditto)
april march - chrominance decoder (which, in fairness, only has one song that i really like, but what a song)

 

[chickenham]

i like the corpo
cat power: i've seen the show, it just don't move me y'know

scott walker: the brel covers are the least of what he did - god love you in yr ignorance, he's a giant. scott3 is the most successful album overall but there are things going on in everything he did since still make my head spin after all these yurs.

hoy zyklon b zombie: what brainticket have you got? i have 'cottonwoodhill' and 'voyage' and i be looking for more.

for those who haven't heard it, 'cottonwoodhill' is the single most brain melting article of evil trip music i've ever heard. landmark stuff. nurse with wound recreated it as 'brained by falling masonry', jim foetus does the vocal - badly.

re: brainticket
I have Cottonwood Hill, Psychonaut, and some bits of Adventure and Voyage.
Voyage is shit. Adventure is boring. Psychonaut (their second album) is quite good. Similar to the first two songs from Cottonwood Hill (Black Sand and Places of Light).
Cottonwood Hill is the ultimate. An amazing fucking album. I love Black Sand.

The Nurse With Wound version is a little to repeatative, and I would have prefered female vocals... Jim Foetus may be something of a proto-Trent Reznor but he doesn't really get any more useful than that.

Anyhow, I did'nt just open a copy of the Wire... I pretty much have everything put out by musicians I listed (and many of them are personal friends of mine)... I don't really give a shit if it is "alternative" or not, but:

i am very glad to see someone here has heard of groups like Nurse and Brainticket. If you are interested in musical areas like this, I'm yer man.

Finally I've managed to assemble my records and a record player in the same room at the same time so I've mostly been listening to Urusei Yatsura...who rocked. Actually, anyone know what became of them?

 

[Latex lizzie]

..they formed a jam making collective and now live in the Outter Hebredies. Shame.

I freaking loved UY

They broke up, and three of them (the drummer bassist and geetarist what wasn' ginger) have formed a new group, who's name I can't remember. I had a poke at their website ages ago, its easy enough to find on google... I imagine they sound exactly like UY used too.

On the discman today I is revisitng Prefab Sprout's Steve McQueen.
Amazing songs, but the production has dated so so so badly

yeah i'm listening to the cure at the mo. holy mother of dated production batman, but that synth sounds like the demo track of my daughters casio.

 

[LMD64]

Hmmm, I recognised the name, but not from the band, from the manga artist Ursei Yatsura, creator of Lum. But I reckon Rumiko Takashi's stuff is WAY better, Ranma 1/2 is classic, and Stan Sakai is great as well, he did Usagi Yojimbo.

Currently i'm listening to Pilote - doitnowman and the soundtrack to Vampyros Lesbos - Sexadelic Dance Party.

 

[minka]

Vampyros Lesbos - Sexadelic Dance Party

mmm, sleazetastic.

i kind of wish i owned that, if only for the cover.
