Landed!

― Ian c=====8 (orion), Friday, 20 August 2004 22:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Orlando and Fosca, I suppose, though truth be told Orlando does receive love from time to time, and I toot Fosca's horn frequently enough that their presense here may too be inappropriate.

Has anyone else noticed that the Scissor Sisters love seems to have decreased rapidly in the past few months?

― Atnevon (Atnevon), Friday, 20 August 2004 22:31 (twenty-one years ago)

my love for them has grown exponentially.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Friday, 20 August 2004 22:40 (twenty-one years ago)

I've grown to love them since I got the CD a couple of weeks ago. I think the fact that most people on here seem to have heard them awhile back means they're not as fresh anymore...

― Gear! (Gear!), Friday, 20 August 2004 22:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I was going to say Lloyd Cole, then thought: maybe a few people do like him more cos of me?

But not many.

GEAR, if you're on SLSK, email me. I can share some THE EX stuff with you.

― dean? (deangulberry), Friday, 20 August 2004 22:59 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't know what happened to him, but I really liked Burnt Batch's The Produce Aisle LP. All of the best qualities of underground west coast hip hop and none of the bad. Pismo rapped the raps, made the beats, and did the cuts, too.

i am not on slsk, I slsuck

Gomez

― Begs2Differ (Begs2Differ), Friday, 20 August 2004 23:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Big fat seconds for The Ex and Flowchart. I finally got to see the Ex live earlier in the year, and boy was I impressed. If you ever wished for a funkier early-80's Sonic Youth mixed with a more balls-to-the-wall Franz Ferdinand, then they are for you.
Yeah, I *know* that description sounds horrid, but they make it work somehow.

Cyndi Boste, Aussie folkie, deep rich broody charisma(voice and songwriting)(avail. domestically on milesofmusic.com)(I wrote about her years ago, in "Alias In Wonderland," archived at villagevoice.com)
Eddie Hinton, staff writer/arranger/guitarist/multi-instrumentalist at Muscle Shoals (60s-80s), so he's got that focus, but also with wild high voice, like Sir Doug or Mouse of Mouse & The Traps, over Tony Joe White-type rhythm, and, as EH himself pointed out, "Curtis Mayfield licks." Also some Box Tops appeal; even Big Star/Chilton solo,gonzo soul-appeal on "The Well of Love. Latest (posthumous) collection: DEAR YALL (THE SONGWRITING SESSIONS VOL. II): well-prodiced demos (finished product sometimes overdone, so start with this). Patterson Hood of Drive-By Truckers reviews this in July NO DEP, I think (haven't seen it)

the devics cause they're like a female-voiced version of the czars.

THE AVALANCHES

Max Normal.

― Abby, Saturday, 21 August 2004 10:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Abby, are you talking about max normal the south african comedy/sci-fi/awful 'rap' group led by waddy jones?

― m. (mitchlnw), Saturday, 21 August 2004 11:57 (twenty-one years ago)

and, uhm, fizzy, if you're being serious, just about everyone here loves the avalanches. myself included. i don't know about real life people, i hardly ever talk to them about music anymore.

― m. (mitchlnw), Saturday, 21 August 2004 12:00 (twenty-one years ago)

sinaloa. you can download some songs here : http://www.equivalentsempire.com/sinaloa/frs_home.html

― rutherford (rutherford), Saturday, 21 August 2004 12:06 (twenty-one years ago)

i have a bad habit of burning too many people cds. i'll hand some really good ones out to kids i don't know at school just to see if they like it. they usually don't but it's always rewarding when they do. i just hate how some people are greedy with the music they listen to.

― rutherford (rutherford), Saturday, 21 August 2004 12:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Indeed. aren't they briljant?

― Gribowitz (Lynskey), Saturday, 21 August 2004 12:21 (twenty-one years ago)

haha well my choice of the adjective "awful" should've told you something about my opinion... it's just that i've never been a fan of the deltron3030-school of sci-rap and now i tend to think of max normal as synonymous with their offshoot, constructus. last time i saw waddy jones perform as max normal, it was one of the worst shows i've ever seen, what with waddy 'inhabiting' several of his ironic rap stereotype cartoon characters (the 'redneck', the 'white kid', hell i don't remember the rest), lord it was awful. (friends swear it was an off day, but i'm not willing to take my chances again). to be fair i've really only heard a few max normal tracks (i was played the first album all the way through once i think, but i really can't remember anything about it), but it's not my thing. i fear that some of my antipathy stems from an unhealthy dislike of the sound south african english (it really is pretty ugly, i think), specifically when it's rapped. but perhaps a better rapper than waddy could carry it off. oh, and the idm-y production and lazy adbustersesque politics don't help either.

The Danielson Famile.

"But the singings all screechy!"

Fuckers.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Saturday, 21 August 2004 12:28 (twenty-one years ago)

i think i'm very good at recommending stuff to people IRL.

with one major exception - TODD EDWARDS. i've pushed him on a lot of people, and no one seems to show any enthusiasm! let alone come close to my levels of obsession over TE.

― Mind Taker, Saturday, 21 August 2004 13:23 (twenty-one years ago)

The Philistines Jr - they were the greatest.

They're like some sort of classico-punk take on latter-day Ulver, or something...nah, that's not a good description...they're, uh, Albini guitars swarming over your face like it's 1867...erm...look, they're just fucking insane brilliance, unlike anything else I've ever heard. My reaction to hearing mini-album "You Got Me Fraiche" was basically "this music is fucking happening, right now, in my head"...it's more urgent, more dumbfounding, more complacency-shaking than most other stuff I've heard of late, and the way it unfolds is so fucking tense and unpredictable...what a goddamn narrative.
