Hail! \m/

Radiohead - In Rainbows. I think this is a very good album. Thing is, I like and admire Radiohead a lot but I find them a difficult band to love primarily 'cos it seems Thom Torke has the knack of making being in a hugely internationally successful rock band with pretty much full artistic control look as much fun as having one's scrotum nailed to a tree.

Thom Yorke - The Eraser. See above.

KISS - Sonic Boom. Yeah!

Julian Cope - Interpreter. Also Yeah!

The Senseless - In the Realm of The Senseless

The Meters - Best of

Jethro Tull - Aqualung.

Led Zeppelin - IV

Gong - 2032. Top!

Nucleus Torn - Nihilist

Mudhoney - Since We've Become Translucent. Excellent!

Ozzy Osbourne - Diary of a Madman.

Opeth - My Arms Your Hearse. Mighty!

Amorphous Androgynous - Psychedelic Bubble Covermount freebie from Mojo. Nice one.

ZZ Top - Deguello.

Think that's mostly it. Have nice week Noise Nibblers! x

Liars - Sisterworld
Just got a promo copy of this through my job. Not quite as ground-breaking and radical as their 2nd and 3rd albums, but more so than their last s/t one. Still drenching everything in aircraft-hanger reverb and detuning their guitars in an "EVOL"-period Sonic Youth stylee, but with a stronger melodic bent than anythng they've done before

Swans - The Burning World, White light From the Mouth of Infinity
Two later-period highlights from after they metamorphosed from the world's most bludgeoningly purgatorial of the New York No-Wave groups to become the thinking person's goth band. If the Mission and All About Eve had had any substance beneath the snakebite'n'eyeliner posturing ... they still wouldn't have been half as good as this. Shame these albums are now selling for astronomical amounts online, but the "Various Failures" compilation is just as good a primer for those uninitiated in this period of Swanography.

The Bee Gees - Bee Gees 1st
If they'd just made this one album and then split up ... Unneccessarily dogmatic, perhaps, but some of this sounds a world away even from the epic wall-of-sound ballads that dominate their subsequent late 60s output, let alone the chest-flashing falsetto swagger of their disco fever-era stuff. More psychedelic than anything else theye ver recorded, occupying similar territory to "Oddesey and Oracle" or The Left Banke. Sure, they were too in awe of "Revolver" -era Beatles for their own good, but in 1967, who wasn't?

Animal Collective - Feels
Less immediately accessible than their recent stuff, but no less rewarding for it - almost everything they recorded prior to "Strawberry jam" has an appealing raggedness and a sense that eveything could easily implode at any moment (much like early Mercury Rev).

George Brigman - Jungle Rot
Have already waxed euphoric about this privately pressed gem from 1975 in an earlier SOTL. It's true that the Shite Stripes ripped off Brigman's whiteboy-blooze-meets-the-Stooges-on-a-$5-recrding-budget schtick something chronic, but that's hardly his fault - I doubt he'd have had any idea back then that anyone would still give a damn about this record 35 years later, which is undoubtedly part of its beauty, leading us to ...

The Michael Yonkers Band - Microminiature Love
The fact that this bonkers piece of solipsistic proto-art-punk was originally slated for release on Sire in 1968 is mind-boggling (but then again, they did sign the Deviants...) The fact that it was ultimately rejected by the label as being too ragged for release is unsurprising, but it wouldn't have sounded too out of place in the company of Pere Ubu or Sonic Youth fifteen years later. Probably the only great record Sub Pop have released this decade.

Also mentioned in dispatches:
Ismael - The Supreme Power of Nature
Van der Graaf Generator - The Least We Can Do is Wave to Each Other
Jefferson Airplane - Crown of Creation
Various - 25 All-Time Greatest Bubblegum Hits
The Left Banke - There's Gonna be a Storm (The Complete Recordings)

LP’s
TRAVELIN’ SOULS (LIVE! AT THE LEGENDARY 100 CLUB) – Blow Monkeys
Live recording from re-formed, tragically under-rated 80’s pop act. Personally I would have preferred it if they’d taken their Bolanic pop debut album, Limping For A Generation, as their starting point, rather than the later, more successful white-boys-80’s-soul, but I guess the clue was in the title. Dr Robert sounds a bit gruff on this one. “It’s been a long tour”, he points out!

BERKELEY 1980 – Cabaret Voltaire
Loving Expect Nothing.

INSIDE STORY – Grace Jones
Almost forgotten (by me anyway!) mid 80’s set that is probably more streamlined and less rootsy than that mighty early 80’s Warm Leatherette / Nightclubbing / Living My Life trilogy, but still, it’s enjoyable all the same.

SUDDENLY EVERYTHING CHANGES FOREVER – David Drew Longey
Evocative banjo stuff c/o our very own Hand Of Dave. Not sure I’d expect to like this, but I do!

DEFINITIVE DAZE – Magazine
Pretty good bootleg though Burst is a bit of a mess.

THE WEREWOLF OF LONDON – Paul Roland
Finally got to hear this. Yeah, enjoyed it...

SPIRIT OF JOY (TALES FROM THE POLYDOR UNDERGROUND 1967-74) – V/A
Arthur Brown. The Creation. The Who. Etc. etc. And loads more on this 3 cd set (though haven’t reached disc 3 yet) currently available from Amazon for twelve quid something, pop pickers. The downside is that it means I now have VDGG tracks in my collection. I feel positively dirty! ; )

WORLD OF HITS – V/A
First in series of late 60’s/early 70’s Decca compilations. Hits galore from Procul Harem, The Zombies, Small Faces, Moody Blues, Them, etc.

Also...
LET NOT THE FLAME DIE OUT – Anubian Lights
GREETINGS FROM L.A. – Tim Buckley
GREEN RIVER – Creedence Clearwater Revival
DOOMSDAYERS’S HOLIDAY – The Grails
GRACE & DANGER – John Martyn
COMMERCIAL ZONE - PIL
NEON FRACTURED NIGHT – The Truth About Frank
A MONSTROUS PSYCHEDELIC BUBBLE (MOJO CD) – V/A
QUALITY STREET – World Of Twist

45’s
OUT OF THE FLESH – Chakk
LULLABY – The Cure
TOMORROW MORNING 3AM – The Granite Shore
COLLISION - Loop
POP MUZIK – M
HEARTACHE IS IRRESISTIBLE – The Noseflutes
BACK ON THE CHAIN GANG – The Pretenders
WAR SUCKS – Spectrum
COUP – 23 Skidoo

PLUS
POSTPUNKSAMPLER - V/A / MARC RILEY SESSION – Githead / 1st PEEL SESSION – The Mekons
