Gyratory System- The Sound Board Breathes. Bizzare and very British answer to the post-rock, post-techno groove of the likes of Battles and Holy Fuck, but made with electronics, bass, drums and lots of heavily treated trumpet. Ends up being reminiscent of Pigbag, 'On the Corner' Miles, and Barry Adamson among other things. Freaky and addictive. Six Organs of Admittance- Empty the Sun. New limited release from Ben Chasny, packaged with a novel of the same name by Joseph Mattson. Fairly typical fare, the band in far gentler and more reflective mood than their recent live shows. Includes a cover of 'Roll the Stone' by Epic Soundtracks. Nurse With Wound- Paranoia in Hi-Fi. Not bad for 99p brand new; one long track, a collage of found sounds in a Residents-style. Baby Dee- A Book of Songs for Ann-Marie. For the follow up to Safe Inside The Day, Dee finally gives a full release to the songs she'd been playing live previous to that record- a collection previously released on Durto Jnana in a very ltd run. Beautiful, straight-forward songs of hope and yearning, sung with harp and piano backing. Crosby, Still and Nash- CSN. Hmm; maybe I should have jumped ship on CSN before this slick-yet-patchy 1977 reunion- Crosby's voice and songwriting talent seem mostly sacrificed to his coke habit, and the others are on middle-aged autopilot for the most part. And yet- it's still a warm, human record and has at least one standout track in Graham Nash's baraoque, moody Blues-esque epic of acid-addled religious and existential confusion, 'Cathedral.' Iggy Pop and James Williamson- Kill City. I'm reading the Ig's bio at the mo, so dug this out. My girlfriend thought it was Alice Cooper. She has a point.

He's my parents new cat (ex-rescue home). He is extremely cute, if rather a handful. A few weeks ago whilst I was running a bath he ran up the stairs with a maniacal look on his face, jumped into the bath and then jumped straight out again and ran back down the stairs once he realised there was water in it (doh!).

I thought it was the album the Rolling Stones have been trying and failing to make ever since "Goats' Head Soup" myself, but there you go. I like the sense of sheer rock-bottom catharsis that this album exudes, though - I reckon it's on a par with "Sister Lovers" and "Tonight's The Night" in that respect. Iggy was a mental and physical wreck when "Kill City" was made and you can hear it in his singing, recorded whilst on day release from the mental hospital. He sounds utterly vanquished and worn out, as opposed to the maniacally defiant figure on the three Stooges albums.

"Nurse With Wound- Paranoia in Hi-Fi. Not bad for 99p brand new; one long track, a collage of found sounds in a Residents-style." Forgot all about that. Just rang my brother in Brighton and asked him to get me it for Xmas. Hope he can - I get the CD (no record shops where I live) and he gets to get me a present that only costs 99p. Weinars all round. Thanks Hunter. x

Iggy was a meetal and phtysical wreck when this was made and you can hear it in his singing - he sounds utterly vanquished and worn out, as opposed to the maniacally defiant figure on the three Stooges albums. Indeed, it's a great album. I always thought of it as Stonesy, until she pointed out the Alice Cooper similarities. I think she meant it as a compliment! It's partly him singing in a higher register, and partly the piano and girly BVs augmenting the Detroit rock stomp. Of course, the Alice Cooper band played with the Stooges many times, and apparently James Williamson tried out for Alice around this time- it didn't work out when he came to blows with another band member. I'd be interested to hear the original tapes, supposedly it was a lot more Stoogey before Williamson remixed it.
