I've seen the "meat flinging" video . . . but the tuyne left no impression. I remember "Millenium" too, probably his biggest hit over here. I remember thinking "what shit! That's just a Nancy Sinatra tune with different lyrics!"

And no need to say "sorry"! This is interesting stuff . . . we're having a discussion not an argument, right? ;-)

You'll find yourself saying that phrase to yourself (with whoever he's ripping off substituted for Nancy Sinatra) more if you're unfortunate enough to hear any more of his shite, but you'll start adding the words "...but really watered down and with crappy lyrics and vocals and a moaning, insincere toddler fronting it"

Here's a quickly pulled list of the kind of "scene" I was referring to when I said the 80's was secretly a renaissance of rock (at least in the USA): Bad Brains, Big Black, Black Flag, Butthole Surfers, Camper Van Beethoven, Chrome, Cows, Die Kreuzen, Dinosuar jr, Ed Hall, Eleventh Dream Day, Feelies, fIREHOSE, Fishbone, Flaming Lips, Flipper, Foetus, Fugazi, Green River, Grifters, Husker Du, Jesus Lizard, Killdozer, Meat Puppets, Melvins, Minor Threat, Minutemen, Mission of Burma, Mudhoney, Pavement, Pixies, Plan 9, Rapeman, Redd Kross, Replacements, Rites of Spring, Royal Trux, Sacharine Trust, Sebadoh, Smithereens, Sonic Youth, Soul Asylum, Soundgarden, Superchunk, TAD, Tar Babies, Urge Overkill, Violent Femmes, Volcano Suns, Wipers, Wreck, X A few of those groups eventually found some mainstream success, many never made it out of the indie label ghetto, and for the most part those that did get major label deals wound up regretting it later. And I did find a couple UK bands that were sort of honorary members of this scene (at least much listened to & loved by everyone): My Bloody Valentine & the Wedding Present Honorary Asian scenesters: Shonen Knife

there's a better version of idiot wind, and possibly even tangled up in blue on the 3-CD Bootleg 1-3, er, CD. The version there is so much better, believe me! johan

nice use of the word 'cunting'... is it a verb or an adjective

Edwin Moses: love turns you upside down spanish band on the "siesta" label who think this is 1972 and love curtis mayfield and shaft. Extremely catchey pop music but if you have broken up with a woman you will be sad as well. Fela Kuti: zombie great minimal funk and "afro-beat" as its called from the early 70s. I'm surprised its not talked about on this list as it parallels the likes of can and krautrock, but in my opinion stands far ahead. Amazing rhythms. 80s bands i never listened to but love this week: blue nile: hats prefab sprout: two wheels good talk talk: its my life i listened to all of these for the first time this week. too much good in one week!

Hmmm for me it's been:- Coil. Just in general really. Up until a few months ago all i owned was Love's Secret Domain, which i liked a lot. Then i got sent Music to Play in the Dark Vols 1&2, Queens of the Circulating Library, TimeMachines (or whatever its proper title is), Worship the Glitch and Constant Shallowness Leads to Evil. All of them have different effects on me and i've had a lot of fun checking them out. Vibracathedral Orchestra - Dabbling With Gravity and Who You Are: Well, i heard it a while ago but not really got into it until recently, REALLY good stuff! Probably more i will think of later :)
