As for that jpg, taking semi-amusing pot-shots over the internet ain't much better!

so, scott, was a permanent weed detox the reason for never listening to "skinny fists" again?

whoof. i remember seeing them at the QMU a good few years back and thinking they were the most tedious spectacle imaginable. up until that point i'd really, really liked them; after that i couldn't bear to listen to them again. (same thing happened - perhaps more understandably - with the polyphonic spree.)
that said: they're long overdue an official grimly fiendish re-assessment. and, now i've got my record-player working again, i shall get to it.

It would only be fair to get Ned's keyboard too, then.

But didn't Albini record Yanqui U.X.O.? And doesn't he normally just record the band pretty much as they normally sound live, sans wild production techniques?

That is normally his intention, but it seems neither party was entirely happy with what they ended up with. I don't think they've spoken since (note that it was Hogan and not Shellac that invited them to Shellac ATP).

it's the enthusiasm of a 19-yr-old (which is great!), but not the frame of reference! i have said this before, but what i really don't get about louis is that the stuff he says these things about is the stuff people my age and a bit older would have eulogised when they were louis' age! i am pretty sure that most 19-yr-olds do not listen to mansun or blur or godspeed whatsit. people who are 25 did, when they were 19.

He also had Spiritualized's 'Pure Phase', bought apparently on a whim, and Mogwai's first 3 albums. I started with them and worked my way inwards; now the 90's are by far my favourite and most comprehensively-owned decade in music! My knowledge of contemporary indie/alternative acts is much more sketchy, I'd say; retrospective discoveries are so much more satisfying than great new releases IMO.
Now, if we could only forget that bit about Bach...

A trap, eh? Hmm, it was only meant as a statement of personal preference...
― Louis Jagger (Scourage), Monday, 4 December 2006 16:53 (seventeen years ago) link
the 90s were amazing. i grew up in them after all, they made me! the best things about the 90s:
- commercial pop rave and eurobosh all over the charts- trip-hop- angsty female singer-songwriters who were not just angsty but arty and experimental and visionary- both classic old-skool r&b, and the first stirrings of hyper-modern timbaland-driven r&b- spice girls and britney spears
notice the LACK OF BLUR IN THAT LIST.
again i recognise the crate-digging for old stuff mentality, that's not so weird, but it normally gets applied to...60s-80s. the 90s is a bit fresh in people's memories.
hang on, louis, what did you like when you were 12/13?
