after weeks of hammering the rock (physical grafitti decided to lodge itself in my playlist last week) i have completely spun round and hit the old hip hop groove, so its a constant respin of Sways mixtapes, and old rawkus releases (black star, soundbombing, high and mighty) next up .. the smut peddlers.

oi that fanu mix is killing it. i like it better than that offshore comp even.

i'm being rocked daily by that new Orb thing, ORBsessions. "mummie don't" is this massive oceanic thing, stone classic. and i think "chromatik (orbzone)" is even better.

― Lukas (lukas), Monday, 17 October 2005 23:57 (twenty years ago)

Where can I get that We Got It For Cheap mix? Will that dude on 3rd Ave and St. Mark's have it? How much are they? I've never bought a mixtape :)

Opak - Two Sleepwalkers on a Tight Rope
Brian McBride - When the Detail Lost Its Freedom
and, oddly enough, the 1st track off the new Long Winters album, Ultimatum.

― harshaw (jube), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 03:55 (twenty years ago)

I'VE been rocking my world all week, with a little help from the Korg Legacy Collection! Software versions of the Korg Wavstation, Polysix and, of course, the legendary MS-20, classic synths all. And so I've been too busy making my OWN sounds to much listen to anyone else's. But still...the disc I've derived the most pleasure from in the past week is a fairly crap Isley Brothers compilation (crap 'cause it's only 10 songs long, tunes themselves are grebt.)

I've temporarily given up music for William Gibson's reading of "Neuromancer". It's absolutely rocking my world though. I feel like I'm cheating, but not guilty enough to stop.

― gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 05:27 (twenty years ago)

Also LCD Soundsystem. Saw them for the first time last week. SO FUN.
Cymande and the Congos.
Vitalic stuff not on "OK Cowboy" (cuz I wore it out). Darker, later disco and all sorts of Moroder.

The Gun Club - Fire of Love
Neung Phak - Fucking America

― MESTEMA (davidcorp), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 08:46 (twenty years ago)

"The campfire headphase" is lodged into my CD walkman and won't shift, even though I've got a queue of other loans (library and friends) waiting to be heard - "Time Machine" (Vertigo 3CD boxed set), two Sigur Ros CDs, "Blow Up 2", stuff like that.

(x post - MS 20... had a real one for a few years, bloody marvellous machine, bought it for £200, sold it for £500...)

― Rob M (Rob M), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 09:35 (twenty years ago)

HIPPY!

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 09:36 (twenty years ago)

Marcello, you have just made me laugh out loud in a very quiet library.

― Rob M (Rob M), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 09:42 (twenty years ago)

I wish Universal would get a move on and reissue those Manfred Mann Chapter Three albums (apropos Time Machine).

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 09:43 (twenty years ago)

I must admit it's an era of music I know very little about but am slowly discovering without any kind of post-punk blinkers on. I rather like it. Still not sure about ELP though. "Welcome back my friends..." is just complete wank.

― Rob M (Rob M), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 09:46 (twenty years ago)

No I'm afraid even I can't argue for the rehabilitation of Jim Davidson's favourite band.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 09:48 (twenty years ago)

Really? (being Jim Davidson's fave band, not you arguing for the rehabilitation...) Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear oh dear.

― Rob M (Rob M), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 10:01 (twenty years ago)

Mr Keith Emerson now composes the music for Mr Davidson's pantos.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 10:04 (twenty years ago)

Oh no he doesn't.

― Rob M (Rob M), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 10:11 (twenty years ago)

Etc.

At least Rick Wakeman makes a pretty penny on the church circuit these days - saw him a few years back at Kings church in Newport, a very good show, but alas no cape.

― Rob M (Rob M), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 10:21 (twenty years ago)

I don't suppose there was any ice either.

Or alcohol. Hic. There was a curry house across the road so he could have ordered a takeaway if he felt peckish.

― Rob M (Rob M), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 10:24 (twenty years ago)

I've also been listening to that new Clipse mixtape. Very good.

M.A.D- '82 demo (Cali' hardcore, pre-BL'AST!)

Black Rob-the rob report (sample clearance butchered a few beats and i can't understand why the Neptunes track didn't make it but there's 11 tracks on there which are superb).

― Ellis, Tuesday, 18 October 2005 10:40 (twenty years ago)

Disco Inferno's EPs--this week and every week.

― owen moorhead (i heart daniel miller), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 13:31 (twenty years ago)

Thinking Fellers Union Local 282 - Wormed By Leonard - Hadn't listened to this in a while. It's pretty long and a little bit uneven (it was originally a cassette-only release, which must have made it harder to get through - no skip button), but it has a surprisingly large amount of great stuff on it. Sometimes I think this is their best album. It came out in the late '80s and I wonder if the Pavement boys were listening to this when they made their early EPs. There is some Sonic Youth in this, as well as some Captain Beefheart, Brian Eno, and other pioneers of weirdo rock, but with a twisted hillbilly vibe that harkens back to Harry Smith and the Anthology of American Folk Music. TFUL282 had as striking and memorable a sound as any of the late '80s/early '90s wave of indie bands, including the Pixies and Pavement. They were great live too. Too bad they don't tour any more.

The Nortt/Xasthur split CD on Southern Lord. The Nortt half may be my favorite depresso black metal record since Burzum's Filosofem.

Our new tour bass player and drummer - we played our first show together last night and it was just incredible.

The Mermen - A Glorius Lethal Euphoria
Dragstrip - Reaction Time

Both of these bands are modern surf rock bands, but the records are both around ten years old. I've been in the mood for this kind of sound, but instead of buying new records I have been going back into my collection.

Don Caballero- What Burns Never Returns
This thing rocks serious mullet. I think these guys would have had a higher profile if they were active these days with the whole mathy/tech metal stuff being popular.

Atomic Bitchwax - S/T & II
Orange Goblin - Frequencies from Planet Ten & Time Travelling Blues
These records have been good work headphone fodder for doing this tedious database editing at work as the music is real fuzzy, warm and groovy. Dubby, scratchy sounding techno also works well in the headphones for doing that kind of job.

The Mermen - A Glorius Lethal Euphoria

Thanks for reminding me of these guys. I remember really liking one of their CDs that we had at my college radio station. This is out of print, but used copies don't seem too hard to find. Are there any other of their CDs you'd recommend?

― o. nate (onate), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 18:07 (twenty years ago)

The new John Cale album and the Flaming Lips video comp. DVD.

Quite impressed with the new Franz Ferdinand album too.

Wow this thread seems so much artier than the other What Are You Listening To-style threads!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 21:58 (twenty years ago)

speaking of arty, I just listened to that MP3 of The Coral Sea, that Patti Smith/Kevin Shields/Cat Power vers. of her spoken word bit about Mapplethorpe...

Twas really long! over an hour! Some of it was beautiful, some boring....it was a "journey into sound"!

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 22:02 (twenty years ago)

Hats off to the Blind Shake. Saw them this past weekend, and they beyond ruled.

― rama lama, Tuesday, 18 October 2005 22:17 (twenty years ago)

"Are there any other of their (The Mermen) CDs you'd recommend?"

'The Amazing California Health and Happiness Road Show' is just as good with even a bit more sharp production. I don't have anything else, but both of The Mermen cds I have are ace. Their guitarist Jim Thomas has a style all of his own.

― Earl Nash (earlnash), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 22:27 (twenty years ago)

Perfect the new John Cale single is pretty great I don't think it's as good as You Broke My Heart by The Lovebites, which should go top 10 this weekend, but it's getting there.

― jive session (elwisty), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 23:21 (twenty years ago)

Marianne Faithfull - Broken English
Tin Huey - Cuyahoga Creeping Bent

What new John Cale? I dint know. must buy.
