xpost (re: D Crosby)
That’s on my list of records to hear after reading Hotel California (see Judee Sill thread elsewhere). Any good?
It took me a while to get into it but now I really love it, especially Laughing and Traction in the Rain. I had Music Is Love stuck in my head earlier today...

Picked up a 3-for-15-quid naxos classical cd offer. I chose:
Compilation of Ondes Martenot pieces
Alan Hovhaness symphony nr22
Delius compilation.
I was just going to get the ondes martenot comp, but I fancied the Hovhaness one, and the Delius one kind of made up the mumbers. There’s a couple of pieces on it I haven’t got. The Ondes Martenot comp has a piece called “Mare Teno” by a composer called Michel Redolfi that is very good, beautiful and unearthly. Also a Messaien piano/OM piece called“feuillet inedit no4” which is lovely.
Lets see if this works. It should work in real time if it does.
This one is better
Compilation of Ondes Martenot pieces
Okay, this sounds so fucking cool. MUST FIND ME COPY.
Sugar Plant!!! (thx Scott!)
Lots of dub. And Papete. And last night, I listened to dearraindrop for the first time in months. Crrraazzy.

Otherwise I’ve been watching Yootoob videos of Madonna’s “Erotica” and various Kate Bush live stuff.
Horsepower Production (more Borepower production) and also Built to Spill

http://www.shitkatapult.com/download/MUSICK12-dj_flush-baila_redux.mp3
a mix of shitkatapulty rekkids, with t.raumschmiere doing a cover of a cypress hill classis at the end. mad.
Mostly old stuff as per flipping usual:
Beat Happening Jamboree
Beatles Love
Country Joe & the Fish Electric Music For The Mind And Body
Fuckpony Children Of Love
Keith LeBlanc Major Malfuction
Shut Up And Dance Death Is Not The End
Young Gods TV Sky
Major Malfuction
ha !i noticed the (in)correct spelling.
classic stuff. on Keiths latest compilation Stop the Confusion, it’s amazing to hear how sharp the stuff off MF still sounds ..
BTW : i’m loving the new mixtapes that Adrian has released via EMI—the tackhead one is spot on
smog, debussy solo piano stuff, kompakt four.
i went to oxford fopp to replace my copy of smog’s ‘supper’ (for some reason i only have it on bash-up casette tape) and they didn’t have any smog at all! disappointed—for some reason it’s something i’d expect to be in any reasonably-sized record shop.
You have to remember this is Oxford, though, where no decent indie record shop has ever succeeded (Green River RIP, Chalky’s RIP, etc. etc.).

(mm, cover pics, mmm)
i really need a copy of death of rock & roll by alberto y los trios paranoias.
How’s that White Magic holding up, Hurting?
— Nu-Edward III (ehonaue...), November 28th, 2006.
I still really like it. Two of the songs are fantastic, a few more are good, and the rest are ok. Her voice is what really carries it for me.
oops, my pic went away. that was thomas leer’s contradictions.
Now I’m listening to Gary Wilson’s performance on BSR’s Phoning It In. It sounds like Daniel Johnston giving birth to a shortwave radio. Fookin’ spektackulah.
OMG TOTAL FLASHBACK NOSTALGIAFEST listening to THIS for the first time since 1985/6:
the alarm + the chameleons. no wonder i liked it so much back then.
and i was totally listening to THIS last nite and i like it just as much as i used to after not hearing it since the 80’s:
now i really wanna find a copy of the first lucy show album. i used to have them both on tape. mania has such cool paisleypowerpoprock tunes. melody is awesome. the only problem with them is that the one dude had a super-nice sweet voice and the other dude has a really dated stilted new wave voice that ain’t half as nice. luckily the good dude sings most of them.
seriously, “lenin in zurich” on that easterhouse album is almost as good as a chameleons song.
Left for Dead: Prisoners of the American Dream 2CD—Barney Bush & Tony Hymas with a support cast of half a dozen
watching one of my all-time fave videos:
suburbs—love is the law:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNx1i8Gx3hM
the suburbs should have at least been as big as the hooters.
er, that’s the dirty angels. kinda hard to read. richard gottehrer-produced powerpoprock.
like anyone CARES, but, you know, whatever. and i’m convinced that “melody” by the lucy show is better than anything by ultra vivid scene. i wonder if that dude was a fan? there are 4 or 5 great songs on mania. would have made a swell EP.
Gil Evans Orchestra, Out of the Cool
The Everly Brothers Sing Great Country Hits

deltron 3030 again.
The sound of my rumbling stomach.
today its all about the rare, and very laid back sounds of Skylab #2 album, which is not the same as the finally released 1999 version as listed on discogs.
Amy Winehouse. A lot.
Bert Jansch—The Black Swan
Did you guys even know Bert Jansch put out a new album on Drag City?
Yes I did, son.
Or, from both. Let’s just say they were from Benelux and call it a day.

Most of the Ariel Pink songs I hear are frustratingly almost great.
However, New Trumpets of Time, off of Lover Boy is all the way great.
Birdsongs Of The Mesozoic & Oral Moses, Extreme Spirituals
Some of these sound real fine.
haha scott!! gareth (who is in marseilles at this very moment, i believe!) has had a two-year crush on porter wagoner. loves the guy.
i’m listening to the d.o.c./dr. dre album over and over and over.
Merzbow, Merzbeat!
yo, beat :)
The covers on my band’s playlist.
dead raven choir—cask strength black metal 3-lp box
Nice choice, Scott.
just heard that stuff for the first time today. they had a used copy at the record store. no info in the box though! i’m gonna have to make up my own titles.
today, have listened to, in their entirety, six by seven, ‘things we make’, quickspace, ‘precious falling’ (twice!), catherine wheel, ‘ferment’ (twice again!), and dark star, ‘twenty twenty sound’. all very fine and dandy. that quickspace is an unknown gem!
right now: i’ve just put on radio one and it’s NEW AEREOGRAMME which has made me VERY HAPPY INDEED.
it’s ... bloody hell, it’s bizarre. pianos and violins and oddness everywhere. too excited to make a proper judgement, though :)
but i think i’m leaning towards “fuck me, this is ace”.
new aereogramme?
*thoughts drift to record store*
Talulah Gosh—Live at the Barracuda, Nottingham, 8th November 1987
This isn’t twee, it’s roughhewn Oxfordian pop-punk. I don’t even like anoraks.
new aereogramme?
out on january 22, i think. i love the ‘gramme, me.
Noze—Craft Sounds and Voices
new cd’s i’ve gotten recently:
CASIOTONE FOR THE PAINFULLY ALONE—ETIQUETTE
A+++++++
why does nobody talk about this on ilm? i have passionate, louis jagger-esque love for this. best album ever!
indian jewelry—exotics
this is great psych raga type stuff, but really beat oriented. i think a dj could slip this in between microhouse or whatever the eurotrash are listening to and nobody would stop dancing. has some noizy parts too. A+++
swann lake—whatever it’s called
eh. why do i keep buying indie rock?
Norman Greenbaum claims that Porter Waggoner was the inspiration for “Spirit in the Sky”
heartless bastards
Antifamily—s/t
oh damn is that the EP that came in a plain type white cd sleeve that just said antifamily?
i have that, very awesome stuff.
today’s playlist:
eyvind kang—story of iceland
stinking lizaveta—cuaght between worlds
charles mingus—mingus mingus mingus mingus
sunn o)))/boris—altar
hototogisu—some blood will stick
who is this stinking lizaveta? a band named after a dostoevsky character intrigues me.
the blue velvet band—sweet moments with..
neil young—chasing the buffalo boot (CSNY and buff spring material)
richard youngs—sapphie
suni mcgrath—cornflower suite
sibylle baier—color green
there’s little to no dostoevsky in there...it’s a three-piece instrumental stoner rock band with an amazing stand-up bass player. somewhere between early sabbath, early santana and early king crimson. they’re deeply hippy.
the album’s not that great due to production difficulties, but they’re an ace live band.
just listened to some mp3’s on their webpage/myspace. eh, honestly not a big fan. sounds like a half-rate earth cover band trying to throw a little do make say think in the mix. guess i’ll have to find a different dostoevsky-inspired band to fall in love with.
there used to be a london-based kraut/post-rock band called karamasov, if that helps.
their first album (‘on arrival’) was kind of thrilling and dynamic, in a tortoisey kind of way, but their second, whose name escapes me, unsuccessfully explored more tedious, nigh-ambient electronic waters.
Stinking Lizaveta are great. The nicest band ever. I spoke to the drummer only yesterday, via the email medium. They are in the UK in May I believe.
The Antifamily CD is pretty new and on a label called Difficult Fun. I like it.
Currently: Shitmat ‘Hang The DJ’, pretty good so far but mixed INCREDIBLY QUIETLY! WHY? and before that the ‘American Hardcore’ soundtrack which introduced me to a few new things and enabled me to have a bunch more on CD.
the stinkies are at number 2 in my top 10 of ‘bands whose bassist I have hugged’.
Barbariz, Auh! (Kohvirecords)
They Came From The Stars I Saw Them, What Are We Doing Here?
Return Visit to Rock Mass, Maher Shalal Hash Baz’s tripl’opus
(’tis sumtimes, lik’, lonesum in tiz korner of da sändboks, but, huhh, ‘rock mass’ really is gut kompani, lakili)
Skin To Skin, Walking On Water (sad slo’ folkish songs with lotsa acoustic guitars, some violin and mild-o-drones)
Richard Pinhas, Metatron (on disk one/track two—sounds one smooth quiet storm of a record so far)
omg, just bought, from 4 different record stores, the following:
Mastodon—Blood Mountain
Six By Seven—Artists Cannibals Poets Thieves
Bardo Pond—Dilate
Serena-Maneesh—s/t
Neurosis—A Sun That Never Sets
Catherine Wheel—Happy Days
Einsturzende Neubauten—Tabula Rasa
KMFDM—What Do You Know, Deutschland?
have not heard any of them yet. anticipation level perhaps breaking through gauge.
Moondog—Viking of New York
Dion—Dion
VA—Totla Kompakt vol 1
For the past couple weeks, I’ve mostly been listening to bunches of late 60s early 70s rock especially Traffic, the Grateful Dead, and Santana. I did recently pickup a couple of Lonnie Liston Smith CDs used, that Tortoise boxset, the new Isis album and Porcupine Tree’s Stupid Dream, so those have also been getting into the cd player.
Doobie Brothers—What a Fool Believes
over and over again.
what a great song.
NO WISE MAN HAS THE POWER!
Exploding Star Orchestra, We are all from somewhere else. (Rob Mazurek & co) (Thrill Jockey)
Carolyn Hume & Paul May, Zero (Well their By Lakes Abandoned sounded more captivating, really)
Sun Ra Arkestra—1971 show at J.P. Widney High School in L.A.
Amazing show to begin with (Ra summons up some power electronics that even outdo Throbbing Gristle) but mid-way through the administrators try to cut the power. Ra & the Arkestra continue playing in the dark and end the show by putting a curse on the place.
Andy Biskin, Trio Tragico (with Dave Ballou & Drew Gress)
P. Maccasir, Venus And Mars
The Best Of Three Dog Night
Jethro Tull, A
Arch Enemy, Doomsday Machine
an obscene amount of reggeaton on pandora.com
dj gyngyvytus—skeet spirit: a crunk tribute to radiohead
It would probably be a lot more interesting if I was at all familiar with Radiohead’s music.
Iggy Pop—Lust for Life
Earth Phase 3 Thrones and Dominions
Scott Seward, sir, I cannot but ask—considering you so often post all these devious pictures with words and letters on ’em—do you actually listen to these images and are you, thusly, a practicing synaestheticist?
Air : Pocket Symphony (Lush.)
Le Monde Electronique De Francois de Roubaix Vol.2 (not as great as Vol.1 but still awesome. Except for the crap remix + extra track at the end)
Joy Division: Closer (Lush.)
Lots of Munich Machine
“Scott Seward, sir, I cannot but ask—considering you so often post all these devious pictures with words and letters on ’em—do you actually listen to these images and are you, thusly, a practicing synaestheticist?”
is that the thing where you can see smells and hear colors? man, i wish. as long as it didn’t drive you insane, i think that would be the coolest. anyway, i just post pictures of the albums i’m listening to at that moment. good cover art should make you smell, hear, and see stuff though.
Josephine Foster—Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing
Dixie Dirt—Pieces of the World
The Ex—Singles. Period. 1980–1990
Arbouretum—Rites of Uncovering
Suicide—s/t
Suicide was one of those things I always assumed I just wouldn’t like, so I’m kind of surprised that I like it.
oh Hurting a world of listening pleasure awaits you inside of that Suicide album... try Half Alive next if you like that first one.
I am digging the new Volcano The Bear album (Classic Erasmus Fusion) immensely, easily in my top ten of the year.
fucking “BILLY TWO”! wait, no, “AT THE BOTTOM”. fucking geniuses. god fucking thank you kilgour-kilgour-scott.

YAY.
now playing:
except i have the original vinyl of Oi! Oi! Music! which only has 15 Oi! anthems on it. i think they added more to the cd.
i just had the best idea. an album of little kids singing oi! classics. just ones with lyrics that are okay for little kids to sing. such great singalongs!
there are oi! classics fit for little kids to sing?
8–0
KIDZ BOP OI!
THIS completely blew my mind last nite. i felt like i was on acid.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doCrdhbPcmw
anyway, it kinda answers your question.
god, the set, the kids, the audience, it’s all like a strange dream.
(there is a god!?)
“Carpal Tunnel Of Love”—Fall Out Boy
“5th Element” & “Find Out”- Classified

“We Share Our Mother’s Health (Trentemoller Mix)”—The Knife
“Turbo Diesel”—Albert One
“Any Second Now (Voices)”—Depeche Mode

Today:
V/A Above The Law—Enforcers
Future of The Left—Fingers Become Thumbs
Asshole Parade—Embers
Shitmat—Hang The DJ
and my now borderline-traditional ‘almost Christmas on my own let’s play vinyl obnoxiously loud’ mix of Poison Idea, Rocket From The Crypt, Bad Brains and more pending
i did that last nite! that’s why i started so many drunken threads. watched bad brains on youtube and then cranked tons of old stuff. kraut, killing joke, big black. and salt & pepa! i thought i was gonna blow my speakers playing my “i am down” 12-inch! sounded sooooooooooooooooo friggin’ good.
(i will be doing this later on tonight as well)
as for now, i got 15 CDs in the mail today from a crazy russian metal label and i am digging in. first up:
Twilight Is Mine—Wreaking Overrun
(awesome black metal. or as they put it: “ELITE BLACK METAL FOR ELITE AUDITORY”. great names too: manhater, occult stellarghost, & messiah a.m.)
wow, what a great album. love the musorgsky section. cool review of it here(the only one i could find in english):
http://www.rockmetalbands.com/Twilight-Is-Mine-review-3.htm
(i had to look up the word “propaedeutical” from the dude’s review.)
okay, next up is Disguster:
Disguster were cool. Very brutal death metal with great english-as-a-second-language triumph the insult comic dog lyrics. now playing Agregator:
the agregator album comes with a hungarian language version followed by an english language version all on one disc. so far so good.
found a nicer picture:
better disguster picture too:
and a nice twilight is mine cover:
you don’t say so!
damn you metal-archives.com for taking my agregator picture away. whatever happened to sharing?
urrrrrggggghhhh, that pisses me off for some reason. they are, like, the only good cover shots on the web of those covers. jerks.
maybe darkside.ru is nicer:
A-HA!
Scott, I have two Harvey Milk CDs saved in my Amazon shopping cart for further research when I return from my trip back east, thanks to your comments on the Noise listening thread.
The last hour or so:
Eccentric Soul: The Deep City Label
Camper Van Beethoven II & III
May also spin some Dean Martin. I’m taking my mom a copy of a Dino love songs record I did notes for.
I am listening to tons of Sun Ra because I am reading “Space Is The Place”. Which is blowing my mind.
— sleeve (sleev...), August 26th, 2006.
word to Space Is the Place...reading it now too, & as far as this thread goes, I can only predict (since I just got back from vacation) I’ll be listening to a lot of Sun Ra soon too.
Judas Priest—Rocka Rolla
Duke Ellington—Afro-Eurasian Eclipse
Birdman & Lil Wayne—Like Father Like Son (LP)
OM—Conference of the Birds (LP)
Minilogue—“The Girl from Botany Bay” (12)
bunnygrunt—in the valley of lonesome phil
capitalist casualties—s/t
comet gain—city fallen leaves
