I know I'm one of the few country listeners in this entire forum but this album is a good album. I especially love the use of dobro in "Good Directions".

McTaggart · « **Reply #101 on:** 20 Apr 2007, 02:01 »

Last week I picked up Sunn O)))'s Black One (which I haven't really been in the mood for these last two weeks so I haven't given it a thorough listen yet) and the new New Buffalo album, Somewhere, Anywhere. There aren't really any tracks as strong as the single, but if you want somewhat twee pop that won't fail to bring a smile to your face I doubt this album woudl disappoint.

Today I picked up Blonde Redhead's 23 which I had pretty much heard all of before buying it, but it is much better in album form than in random mp3's streamed off the net form. It follows really nicely and depite being a little annoying the packaging is one of my recent favourites.

I also got Dinosaur Junior's Green Mind completely on a whim. I've never actually consciously listened to them before and had no idea what to expect. I could go either way, or rather, I can't really be bothered making up my mind. Meh, rock's not really my thing.

Misereatur · « **Reply #102 on:** 20 Apr 2007, 02:30 »

Man, I love Black One.

McTaggart · « **Reply #103 on:** 20 Apr 2007, 08:07 »

Yeah, I just gave it a proper listen then. Two proper listens. Just wow. That second last track 'Cry for the Weeper' is excellent.

I'm also warming up to Green Mind. J Mascis has a great voice. I vaguely recall people saying that they did some more noisy stuff, any suggestions on where to head next with Dinosaur Jr?

Misereatur · « **Reply #104 on:** 20 Apr 2007, 08:24 »

I listened to Green Mind a few times and it didn't struck me as anything special. I should give it another listen.

You should try Sebadoh, though. It's Lou Barlow's low fi project. I recommend you should listen to III and Smash Your Head on the Punk Rock (I think it was realesed by Sub Pop, and it also has a cover of Nick Drake's Pink Moon). Imagine low fi folk with noise freakouts between songs.

McTaggart · « **Reply #105 on:** 20 Apr 2007, 08:44 »

It's not stunning or anything, but I think that there's definitely potential for something special elsewhere in their discography.

I'll see what Sebadoh I can find around though...

Revived!

So, today I was browsing the used section of my local record store, and I came across a ton of amazing finds, all pretty much brand new. I ended up getting two of them, and am very happy with my purchases, as the prices were well below half the price they would've been new.

Current 93 - The Inmost Light boxset
Includes Where the Long Shadows Fall, All the Pretty Horses, The Starres are Marching Sadly Home. Really happy with this one.

Zorn/Eye Duo - 50th Birthday Celebration Volume 10

Valdemar · « **Reply #107 on:** 28 May 2007, 07:52 »

Last thing I bought was this:

Sarah's Charity - Code of Red Twin

I love limited handcrafted cd-rs with pretty and trippy sleeves. It makes the whole experience much more intimate and special in a sense. This one in particular has a very distinct design that is quite thorough. Simple I suppose, but pretty cool nonetheless. This is probably why that whole online new noise/free improv cdr/tape distro community appeals to me. And the noise is good too! Guitarbased noise run through god knows how filters and shit. Heavy use of Oscillators I'm told but I wouldn't know.

Zorn/Eye Duo - 50th Birthday Celebration Volume 10

That is an absolutely awsome revival.

I don't have a lot of money, but from what I could scrape around I got these:

Death in June - Take Care & Control

Lietterschpich - I Cun Blood in the Think Tank

Lietterschpich are a local Noise act that are terribly good. Valdemar, I think you'd like them.

Kai · « **Reply #109 on:** 28 May 2007, 12:41 »

I am thinking you want to upload the Lietterschpich for me

Valdemar · « **Reply #110 on:** 28 May 2007, 13:25 »

I think it is interesting. I usually listen to ambient drone stuff so this is not my usual fare. Reminds me somewhat of Wolf Eyes, if they were any good that is. The name is bit dumb though. Almost as forced as Pee in My Face With Surgery.

Misereatur · « **Reply #111 on:** 28 May 2007, 13:45 »

They're not good with names, but excellent with everything else. Their name, btw, roughly translates to "a litre of semen".

Kai, I think I have an EP on my computer somewhere. I'll look for it and upload it in the sendspace thread.

The link is to their myspace, not to a litre of semen.

fish across face · « **Reply #112 on:** 28 May 2007, 15:36 »

Since I last posted I've only bought these two...

Reflection - Musical Bizarreness

Japanese producers who do an equal mix of sorta trip-hop / downbeat stuff and beatless, weird ambient music. It's a bit disconcerting. From track to track you never know whether to expect bouncey hip-hop beats and jazz samples or shifting tones and modem dialing noises.

Kammerflimmer Kollektiev - Jinx

Every now and then these guys get called post-rock, but basically they're jazz guys mucking around with electronics a bit. Very mellow, slowly developing stuff. Some of it reminds me of Fridge at their most jazz-sounding. It's so chilled, think it's going to be great for summer evenings.

Jed · « **Reply #113 on:** 04 Jun 2007, 05:48 »

I just bought these:

The Mars Volta - De-loused in the Comatorium

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus

Demigod - Shadow Mechanics

Fun times ahead!

McTaggart · « **Reply #114 on:** 04 Jun 2007, 05:53 »

The Mars Volta - De-loused in the Comatorium

One of my all time favorite albums. Frances the Mute had its moments, as did Amputechture, but this is definitely their strongest. Amputechture was good while i was listening to it, but it didn't stick with me much. De-loused is really just an all around fantastic album, including the story behind all of it.

It probably would be for 'There She Goes, My Beautiful World' alone.

You are awsome.

Went to the last Black Lips concert last night and the local Zor Records were having a little sale:

No New York

A compilation of early New York No Wave bands by a weird russian label. Everything but the band and song names is in russian.

Sonic Youth - Sonich Youth

Double LP with an early live show and a studio recording from 1981.

fish across face · « **Reply #122 on:** 17 Jun 2007, 15:20 »

I don't know what's up with the Russian version, but that comp was put together by Brian Eno.

Inlander · « **Reply #123 on:** 17 Jun 2007, 17:36 »

What's up with the Russian version is probably copyright infringement. Ever been record shopping in Russia?

Joseph · « **Reply #124 on:** 17 Jun 2007, 19:00 »

No New York is pretty constantly out of print, so mayhaps the Russians decided to change that?

Misereatur · « **Reply #125 on:** 18 Jun 2007, 06:22 »

It does say "Produced by Brian Eno" on the back. I guess it's just a russian version, not copyright infringement.

Jed · « **Reply #126 on:** 19 Jun 2007, 23:52 »

All good deals if you ask me.

Joseph · « **Reply #129 on:** 22 Jun 2007, 19:33 »

Guys, I have all sorts of no willpower. The fact that I have money and there is this sale is making me buy way too much. But I really don't care, since I'm finding stuff I've been after for ages.

Drive Like Jehu - Yank Crime

The Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band - Born Into Trouble The Sparks Fly Upwards

Danielson - A Prayer For Every Hour

Sleater-Kinney - Dig Me Out

Valdemar · « **Reply #130 on:** 01 Jul 2007, 05:44 »

The last two records I bought was:
Birushanah - Akai Yama

The Japanese ethno-sludge thing. I have no idea when it will arrive from Aussieland.

and:

Cease Upon the Capitol - s/t

I enjoy some screamo and since I had this american band recommended, I ordered it.

I am going to drive around Europe in an autocamper this july so hopefully I'll pick up lots of interesting stuff.
I hear Czech Republic has a huge grindcore scene. Maybe I'll buy some of that in Prague.

Delightful EP/mini-cd of good snotty dance punk. You can hear a few of their songs at www.foreignislands.com if you would like. I have no connections with this band, I just read about them in a zine and thought they sounded cool, so I checked them out.

Jesu / Eluvium vinyl only split. One extra long Eluvium track and three brand new Jesu tracks means sheer awesomness. This may be the best $11 I've ever spent. Plus it's pretty and red and see through which really make it even better.
