Last couple've weeks Monoshock - Runnin' Ape-like From the Backwards Superman: 1989-1995/Walk to the Fire (Some of the best garage-noise I've heard in ages. Bit like a slightly (slightly) less in-the-red High Rise spurned on by the hateful snottiness of Electric Eels) The Legendary Pink Dots - Chemical Playschool 3+4 (Possibly my favourite Dots release? Maybe. Either way, it's ridiculous they can put out so many albums and still cast off material of this calibre) Christian Television - Cathode Mirror (Pretty good. "improvised space drone and acid folk twisted through heavy psychic filters." Available to stream on bandcamp here) Ekkehard Ehlers - Plays (Nice ambient techno stuff. The Cassavetes one is the best) Family Fodder - More Great Hits/All Styles (Probably the finest dada pop I've ever heard. Adore 'em. "She goes to the bathroom- that's no place for me") Laurence Vanay - Galaxies/Evening Galaxies (Needs more plays but thoroughly pleasant female French atmospheric prog stuff) Arrigo Barnabé - Clara Crocodile (Utterly bonkers Brazilian musical madness- like a hyper ADHD-affected Magma- that helped take down the weakening Brazilian military government in its own small way. Diversões eletrônicas) V.A. - 100% Dynamite! NYC: Dancehall Reggae Meets Rap in New York City (Really good. I'm sorry for any earlier statements I've made about Dancehall being homophobic unlistenable claptrap. Most of what I've heard's been great) Cotton Casino - We Love Cotton (One of the strangest Acid Mothers spin-offs. Noisy Synth-Pop with cewt girlie Japanese vocals) Robin Williamson - Various Tales (Love his stories. I wish there were more modern-day bards like him roaming the countryside with nought but a harp in tow and an armoury of tales) V.A. - Mass Culture Control Bureau... (Featuring the other Black Sheep and a series of other quirky and inventive post-punk pop bands headed by Geoff Leigh. File next to The Homosexuals, Family Fodder and The Residents. Great stuff) France Gall - Poupée de Son (Just perfect 60s Pop) Flamen Dialis - Symptome Dei (Could be a long-lost electronic Krautrock gem from France. Worth scouting out) Armand Schaubroeck - Live at the Holiday Inn (Haven't steeled myself up to listen to this yet, but I might give it a try today seeing as how it's raining and all. Pray for me) Larkin Grimm - Harpoon (Very powerful free/k folk) R. Stevie Moore - Swing & a Miss (Completely different from the last release I'd heard by him. My kinda pop music- lo-fi melodic concoctions cooked up by one headcase who's spent too much time by himself) Father Murphy - Anyway Your Children Will Deny It (Just picked this up and about to play now)

LOL.A very entertaining evening was had by all.

I agree - he's a real one-off! Gutted I missed his gig at Salisbury a couple years ago, was ill and had to give my ticket away. Can't believe they haven't re-issued his 'ten years in an open necked shirt' book yet - it sells for such silly prices online for old knackered copies.

Was he actually doing music? Last time I saw him he was doing a sort of end of the pier, Alfie Noakes-style comedy routine. Not a song to be heard. Most disappointing thing was that I later found an internet joke page from which a good chunk of those jokes must've been plundered.

Still waiting for my turntable pre-amp to be repaired, so still no vinyl - curses! Last night I dug out my tape deck to listen to the new Dylan Carson Albion tape, but that died on me too. I did manage to listen to it on an old ghetto blaster this afternoon though, so that's some consolation. Intersting tape it is too. Clinic - Bubblegum Been on a bit of a Pete Fowler thing this week having got a couple of his posters, and came across the vid he did for Clinic's "I'm Aware" - ace! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuDQAEOMWWo And continuing the Pete Fowler theme, A Psychedelic Guide to Monsterism Island is a cracking CD, featuring the likes of Belbury Poly, Wolf People Amorphous Androgynous and Gruff Rhys. White Hills - Live at Roadburn Mark Fry/The A Lords - I Lived In Trees Zombi - Escape Velocity Steve Miller Band - Children Of The Future Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush - Live, Tales Of The Unexpected The Nazz - Open Our Eyes Shirley Collins - The Classic Collection Sylvester Anfang II - Latitudes What I've listened to most this week, really very good. Silver Stairs of Ketchikan - 20:20 Charlie from Thoughtforms does her solo thing, and very good it is too. http://silverstairsofketchikan.bandcamp.com/ The Chasms - Alchemical Postcards, Advance Paranoia Advance Still loving this lot. If you haven't checked them out yet, do so ASAP: http://www.thechasms.co.uk/

The packaging on this one is lovely btw.

As The Crow Flies - The Advisory Council. Black River Falls - Cathal Coughlan. Dead Magick - Dead Skeletons. Fear Engine - Shock Headed Peters. Free For All - Ted Nugent. I'd have voted for him in '76. This is great. Heavy/Metamorphosis - Iron Butterfly Isla - Portico Quartet. Lost In The Former West - The Fatima Mansions. Past Life Martyred Saints - EMA. Reality Bath - Nice Strong Arm. Trip, trip down memory lane when I was young, handsome and free with reality kept at a safe distance. Saw Delight - Can. Is this still generally disliked? Probably my favorite Can album. Must go back to Soon Over Babaluma as well. Many thanks to Fatalist. Shoot! - Hedvig Mollestad Trio. Slugs and Toads - The Reflections. Bit of a Karl Blake thing going on this week, I can't be a happy bunny. Relaxing to Toy Dog Ripped By Cat... Is that normal? The Future Will Destroy You - Viva Voce. The Isness - Amorphus Androgyness. The Night - Sula Bassana. Transmalinnia - Lumerians. (Mankind) The Crafty Ape - Crippled Black Phoenix. A good album I think. Confident and ambitious. Tracks : Rolling Stone - Terje Rypdal. Wonderful. 20 minutes plus but doesn't flag at all. When prog is too good to be prog. Again, thanks to Fatalist.
