Cheers MYE. I've managed to get a couple and am really impressed.

That looks really interesting. And potentially costly!

Everyone- buy Space Gallery and BB & The Bleedin' Hearts. Failing that, buy them all!

As usual I take notice when you post, mate. So.. I did some investigating. Then I liked what I heard but thought "fuck they sound like Fire On Fire". Yup, you know the rest - they ARE Fire On Fire. Looks like I've got 14 albums to find when time and finances permit. Damn you, Sin! :)

Where, pray tell, are you scoring said big parcel from Keith? Did you leave any for me at Norman's? :)

Mornin', Ming!

They've got virtually everything they've ever recorded up on WFMU's archive site: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Big_Blood/ (legal & etc.)

If your belt's gettin' a little tight, I'd recommend buying one or two then grabbing some of the others off there if you've still got an itch for more (you will).

My ever-shifting ranking:

Space Gallery
BB & The Bleedin Hearts
Sew Your Wild Days Tour Vol. I (Vitamin C cover!)
Dark Country Magic
Cerberus Shoal - This Land We All Believe In
Alvarius B/Cerberus Shoal
The Grove
Sew Your Wild Days 2
Strange Maine 2007
Operators and Things
Already Gone 1+2
Strange Maine '06
I'll stop there...

Just heard their new one the other day, BB & The Wicked Hex (sounds like a Harry Potter rip-off). It's got some grinding hard rock riffs that I'm not sure go with their style, but they can do no wrong. Sure I'll warm to it soon.

I dunno if you've heard of Cerberus Shoal? They were a kinda post-rocky krautrocky outfit that eventually mutated into something like the Big Blood we know and love. BB are a bit like Circle in that they prob write several tracks a day and have to put together a dozen side-projects to play them all. Hey, what's that muse there for if not to milk the fucker dry?

None of those records are actually live, by the way. More anti-commercial shenanigans!

They released probably my favourite epic song of all time. It's in that Alvarius B (Sun City Girls/Sublime Frequencies founder) split and it's called Ding. It'll probably take half a year to upload (it's about 30 minutes long) but it's so gottdamned beautiful it'll be worth the effort.


For now, a morning mini-EP of sublime Big Blood tracks (you know, I don't think I'd ever heard the words Big and Blood in that combination before I discovered this band).

OK, I'm a bit of a clueless noob when it comes to uploading Youtube vids so this took a bit of an age to do. It seems to be working, though.

Cerberus Shoal (a.k.a proto-Big Blood) - Ding part 1

Cerberus Shoal - Ding part 2

Hope you enjoy it!

Is no Dead Songs an oversight or are all these even better?

If so I'm in for a treat! I don't like it as much as the other I have (Dark Country Magic), but it's still got some fine moments.

The Wicked Hex one was only available on vinyl (and a bit on the expensive side) so I didn't order that one but otherwise I pretty much went for it! ; )

Coming Home Pt 3 is indeed a great song. Just listening to the other links you posted...

I love this one, too.
