[7 - No tomorrow]

The singer has one of the worst, simpering, milquetoast singing voices I have ever heard.

Worse than Stuart Murdoch?

 

[Lili Marlene]

Worse than Stuart Murdoch?

I'm kind of more ideologically opposed to his existence rather than offended by the actual music or singing.

This is picking up a little on the third song.

Tuesday's paper
Transcendent Slowdive worth the 20-year wait - Music - The Boston Globe

“Alison” and “Souvlaki Space Station,” from 1993’s “Souvlaki,” rippled over the crowd in waves of joy and recognition.

I can’t remember the last time I saw so many eyes closed at a rock concert, as if posing an inner question: Is this really happening?

aww... good for them. It's just music that I couldn't possibly be any less interested in.

We all do it though, I went to see thepresidentsoftheusa play their first album a few years back. Just about every single person at the concert had been 12 in 1996.

Sure thing.

I'm not advocating for it, just a bit gobsmacked that this level of awe exists for a band I barely know the name of.

I have a busy weekend of cramming

If she's a Death in June fan then you better start reading Mein Kempf and getting used to the same 3-4 chords strummed in the same way on every, single song.

lol @ 'the ape of naples'

Hmmm
I'm guessing my response ranging from the Buzzcocks to The La's to Outkast didn't do anything for her

The title came from a list of possible titles for gay porn movies the lads from Coil would like to see made.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

Still, it's fairly rubbish. Coil completely lost it in their last 2 or 3 years.

Haha

Well it was just Sleazy at the end finishing off stuff started and left hanging after balance died. The original Backwards album from New Orleans is much stronger, that would have been a better release to cap off their career. I do think "Fire of the Mind" is incredible though but the rest of the album doesn't match up.

there's a perfectly ordinary english sentence

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson: Member of Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV and Coil. Director of music videos for pretty much everyone who put a video out in the 1980s/1990s. Designer at Hipgnosis design studio (designed a couple of Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin covers).

Jhonn Balance: Other half of Coil. Lunatic.

9. Tender Buttons, Broadcast
Boring

Ah now

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

All this will help my cramming

Thanks!

 

[nooleen]

just make sure you don't ask her something Sleazy about Balancing on her Coil

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

Ah now

I cannot get into Broadcast at all. Saw them play at Supersonic years ago and it was dull as fuck.

The Art of John Balance Collected

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

Waiting on mine to arrive. I've looked through Balance's paintings before, some awful stuff and some great stuff. A decent balance.
