Hello. I had some lemon cake last night. It was very nice. Cat Pod tunes have been. Denim - Back in Denim Denim - Denim On Ice. Dug these out these week. Really enjoyed them as well. Lawrence from Felt's love letter to the 70's basically complete with glam beats, 70's synth gurgles & so on. I just realised that when Lawrence isn't sounding like an English Lou Reed, his singing sounds just like Ace Frehely from KISS. System Of A Down - Steal This Album. 3rd album (sort of) of righteous invective married to inventive heavyosity with occasional Armenian influenced flourishes. PJ Harvey -Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea. Might just become my fave Peej album DJ Mag - Nordic Chill. Eclectic ambience & electronica brain fondling. Interpol - Turn On The Bright Lights. One of the best 80's indie albums by a 21st Century band in a while. I like. Oasis - The Masterplan. B Sides set that remind one they can do a decent tune inbetween gobshiteness & shmoozing. Lee Perry & Dub Syndicate - Time Boom x De Devil Dead. Spacy dubience and 'ting Mansun - Six. Ambitious sprawling indie prog epic stuff. Got Tom Baker on it which helps. Prince - O(+>. Mixed bag again of that whole period though Sexy MF is brill & the very Queen 3 Chain's o' Gold mini opera is a hoot. Prince - The Rainbow Children . Still digging this jazz collection of sparklers Japan - Adolescent Sex. Pre 'serious artistes' glammy, funky, rock pop with the odd electronic burble. Amused By Genitals - Boob Gurgle Shag Nasty Deluxe. DJ Mag - UK house flava. Lush beats and blops. Metal Hammer freebie of extreme metal stuff. Lots of Norwegians going "UUUUUURGHHHHHHH AAAGH GRRRRUUUUGH! Quite invigorating. Isotope - Best Of. Old vinyl comp of jazzy proggy guitar noodling etc. Various techno things & some floaty late night ambience and so on. Have a nice week! 8^) |

Cor Klectik! I've been uncharacteristically none-klektik, only two bands, but my head-GOM is clearing and I see beautiful colours and shapes..NURSE!!! Takes your insides out, washes them, then makes you realise that they were just clutter after all. Sew it up quick before the new YOU-lite notices the grey matter on the carpet . First: Boredoms 'Super Ae' Roller coaster world-stopping universe expanding cree-A-SHONE!! Especially Super Are and Super Going, it's like the utmate single best 'Who' chord ripped into some funkadelic manic groove and repeated until you see the light. Then they stop, GRARGH! Barbara O Reilly without Daltry-ego, and extra mushrooms. mmmm Second: Hanadensha 'Narcotic Guitar' Completely trippy alien raindrops. Every track begins with 'S'. Salamander, Sea-Smoke, Spiritual, Space, Spiral, Star, Stone. It all makes sense, kind of jarring in places (Japanoise!), but when it gets 'too' weird a beautiful groove usually happens that leaves you wondering: where? how?.

This week's listening:- Mark Stewart 'Mark Stewart' - Hard & heavy beats laid down by the old Sugarhill Gang rhythm section. The best track is the instrumental (ie, without Mark Stewart!!!) 'Stranger Than Love Dub' built up on 'Les Trois Gynopedies'. Good stuff. The Fall 'Totally Wired - The Rough Trade Anthology' - Fuck me, this is brilliant!!! So very varied and original; the man's a genius! The Libertines 'Up The Bracket' - I love the way this is always just veering out of control... "I get along just singing my song. People tell me I'm wrong. Fuck 'em" Wah! 'The Handy Wah! Whole' - I've been picking this 2CD retrospective up for months in my local Andy's Records but the £14.99 price tag has always meant I've put it back down. In their 70% off last day of trading sale I finall succumbed. Not played it all yet, but 'Better Scream' and 'Don't Step On The Cracks' have had a few airings, along with some others. He always had an eye for an epic tune, did Wylie. XTC 'White Music' - Bought so I could hear 'Statue Of Liberty' again. Lots of jarring noise with good poppy tunes. I'm sure I've still got this on vinyl somewhere; I can't imagine having sold it! Rancid 'Indestructible' - Looking forward to seeing these boys hit the boards in Nottingham tomorrow night! Great singalong tunes, if only I could work out what the fuck Tim Armstrong was singing! (Lyrics are included in the libretto, but not while I'm driving, eh?) Mary Lorson & Saint Low 'Tricks For Dawn' - Should have learnt my lesson from the Madder Rose CD I bought last week. This is pretty uninspiring. Played it for a third time this morning and can't remember anything from it! Soledad Brothers 'Live At The Gold Bar' - Pretty standard pub R&B really. Uninspiring. This Mortal Coil 'Filigree And Shadow' - Far more sombre than I was expecting. Great for late night reading... PJ Harvey '4 Track Demos' - She just doesn't grab me. I'm sorry. I know it's good. Circle 'Alotus' - Good repetetive slow builds. I like these guys a lot. TeeP says to look out for a tour this Autumn. I shall be there! Altered Images 'Destiny. The Hits' - 'Insects' and 'A Days Wait' are fondly remembered from nights listening to Peel. The stuff from 'Bite' is epic though. Julian Cope 'The Followers Of Saint Julian' - Assorted b-sides, etc. I love 'Disaster'. Elastica 'Elastica' - Sleeper style vocals, though I like the choppy guitars. I could hear the Wire connection. Always liked '2:1' from the 'Trainspotting' soundtrack. Various 'Step Right Up - The Songs of Tom Waits' - Worth the price alone for Drugstore's 'Old Shoes' which is just fucking brilliant. Better than the original. Pete Shelley singing 'You're Better Off Without A Wife' makes me smile. Blur 'Think Tank' - I think 'Out Of Time' is the best thing on it, though the wayward 'Jets' is pretty kooky. Mary Margaret O'Hara 'Apartment Hunting' - There's none kookier! I'm going to have to get 'Miss America' back from my friend. Julie Murphy 'Lilac Time' - Folk singer. Nice, gentle tunes, though when she started on '1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Once I caught a fish alive...' I had to go for a walk around the garden! Belly 'The Best Of...' - 'Spaceman' and 'Thief' have been in heavy rotation, and I like jumping up and down to 'Super-Connected' when I'm getting ready to go out! NP 'Delicatessen 4', a Cooking Vinyl sampler featuring Grant Lee Phillips, Cracker, Frank Black, Cowboy Junkies and others, along with a track from Mary Lorson and Saint Low which If I'd heard before I wouldn't have bought her fucking album! Have a good week y'all, and remember, 'Punk Lives!' ~;o)

I'd like to have a cat pod. But I haven't. On the sounds this week - Coil - Music to play in the Dark Vol 1 - love this album - mix of unsettling and at times soothing pieces, and that lovely rich voice saying the strangest things. Mick Softly - Sunrise. Have played this a few morings this week and thoroughly enjoyed the mix of bizarre lyrics and more conventional folk/rock. Think this was released about 1970. Sunburned Hand of the Man - Agoraphobic Christ Cycle - not sure about this - bit too unstructured and irritating til about midway thru the long track 5 when it open up and kicks A. - Mind of a brother - again not my favourite release, maybe need a few more listens. Doesn't get a hook into me like Jaybird, say. Piffs Clicks - this is really different - mellow guitar jams which much less emphasis on the percussive. In places reminded my of Popol Vuh. That's been about it this week - pretty quiet on the listening front.

This week I have been mostly listening to: Dudley Moore - The Music Of Great double lp compilation featuring stuff from his film soundtracks like Bedazzled as well as his jazz trio. Traffic - Mr Fantasy Alice Cooper - Killer Natas - Unreleased Dopes Page & Plant - No Quarter With its mingin' version of the title track. Some of the rest's ok though. Julian Cope - 20 Mothers & Skellington Getting myself psyched up for October :D And a pile of old minidiscs I found in a box which feature bizarre segues between songs e.g. There it Is by James Brown suddenly cutting off to be replaced by the 12" mix of Safety Dance by Men Without Hats, or Hispanic Impressions by Queens of the Stone Age suddenly switching to Rambling Syd Rumpo. Either they've got corrupted or I must have been pissed at the time...

>peter and the test tube babies, pissed and proud, >i'm getting fed up of hearing it to be honest Must be time to switch to "The Mating Sounds of South American Frogs" then. A good blast of "Pissed Punks Go For It" will help you rediscover your joi de vie.

Slotted inbetween obsessive sessions of listening to Noisemakers tracks, all of which I now know back-to-front, inside out and upside down have been... Talk Talk - Laughing Stock Current93 & NWW - Bright Yellow Moon The White Noise - An Electric Storm Amon Duul II - Utopia Will Sergeant - Weird As Fish Kate Bush - The Dreaming Throbbing Gristle - Heathen Earth Killing Joke - Fire Dances Morton Feldman - For Franz Kline, De Kooning & other works Boredoms - Rebore Vols 1-4 (borrowed) Amorphous Androgynous - The Isness Zoviet france - Collusion Funkadelic - One Nation Under A Groove Robert Ashley - Automatic Writing The Pretty Things - Parachute Haven't got time to appraise them all, but all were good (well, still not totally convinced about The Isness, and Utopia turned out to be interesting but not very satisfying)
