Third Ear Band - Alchemy 2CD
This popped up on my spotify 'you might like' and they were right, I luurrved it. I'd heard of em' but not heard em' till them. So ordered CD. Upon arrival, popped it in my player, and had a bit of a meh! moment. Guess I gotta be in a particular head space to dig it. At leas they ain't all 'hey nonny nonny'. Kinda wonder if later day Swans haven't taken a leaf from their book in the musical minimalism, less is more vibe.
Rema Rema - Fond Reflections
Now this one I'm lovin' more and more, the more I play it, so this week is swings and roundabouts I guess!
The Coathangers - The Devil You Know
Quite like this, nothing new but have enjoyed the tracks as they've appeared on shuffle. They've been around a while, but not heard of em' till now. Sassy kinda garage, kinda indie...kinda...Rogers Sisters....kinda... Yeah Yeah Yeahs...kinda... The Kills...etc...

Ceremony east coast - Darling
Another that's got a few spins over the weeks, and again, nothing you haven't heard before, but well executed post punk/Garagey sounds. Pushes my sonic buttons anyway. https://ceremonyeastcoast.bandcamp.com/album/darling
Soft Cell - Bedsitter Tapes
I do wish this was their debut album fer real. It's much edgier and angier that Non Stop. At the age I was when it would have been released, this would have deffo ranked up there with John Foxx, The Human League, Fad Gadget, Early Depeche Mode (which for all it's cheese, is still my fav period by them, for me they never bettered the tracks Photographic or Tora Tora Tora) for me.
Julian Cope - Barrowlands/ Jehovahkill
Caught one episode on youtwat of rather well made Punk docu from some Canadian TV streaming service (Sadly rest ain't up...though deffo worth searching out if you're in the right region) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWcxgeNNjJ8
Also got hooked on this cat called Heinbach, he's a drone artist whose studio setup seems to be defunct error testing testing electronic equipment along side the usual stuff. One unintentionally funny episode has him visiting a German (I think) synth manufacturer along with other synth bloggers, to test out the equipment. His top 5 had me in stitches, as he doesn't use them in a conventional sense, to sculpt sounds, but contact mics em' up fer the 'hum' (though can't seem to see the bloody vid in my timeline...yoou'll have to search of yu wanna see it). Seems like a nice guy though, bit like that Fast Show 'scientist' character. His music is OK. He must be using the Asos of the synth world, as the gear he has/tries out is....erm....lots.
