The Journey 10'' EP - Voice of the Seven Woods

Now the new Fine Wine show

http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/28354

I've made a finely balanced playlist which will take me exactly to 5:00pm (well, 5:02:30 I think) as I'm alone in the office. It goes Youthmovies > Jehst > Make Believe > Hot Snakes > Venetian Snares > YMSS > Pelican > Aereogramme. Basically all the things I'm not allowed to listen to in the office.

Handsworth Revolution - nice. I picked up a copy of this a while back http://www.pressure.co.uk/item/PS28/ - a really good overview of the UK reggae scene at the time.

For some reason I just can't bring myself to listen to anything today.

Flying Lotus - Los Angeles

Bogdan Raczynski - '96 Drum & Bass Classixxx

Cibo Matto - Stereo type A
and
Skunk Anansie - Stoosh

This is turning back into a lists thread innit? More explanations and comments! I'm getting all my good tips from these conversations.

Yesterday I found some LPs in a skip outside my house.

Rolling Stones / Beggars Banquet: bit too crackly for comfortable listening

Solomon Burke / The Best Of: scratched to fuck, unfortunately

The Four Seasons / Who Loves You: alternately cheesy as hell and amazing

plus a metric fucktonne of Gladys Knight records. Weird.

Hehe! Vinyl in skips is genius - my first ever find was a working turntable with Mungo Jerry's In the Summertime already loaded and ready to play.

If that was a scene in a British film ('coming of age' inevitably) it'd seem cringmakingly contrived. :-)

Meant to mention there is new Marnie Stern stuff around -- I downloaded a track off Pitchfork I think. Slightly more straight-ahead but still sounding like her stuff. Trying to get her to play here sometime -- currently at the 'don't hold your breath' stage though.

thanks - listening now!

I once found a mint copy of the Best Of Bobby Goldsboro in a skip - genius!

Life is never quite the same again once you have listened to the utterly groovy Summer (The First Time)!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYHEBa6Xx48&feature=related

Talking Heads - Remain In Light.

Probably the best band ever...

Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells.
Roxy Music - For Your Pleasure.

Up to "Speaking In Tongues" Talking Heads were fantastic but after that they just got a bit dull - "Little Creatures" in particular was a total let down for me.

I think it's great actually, but the 5 before them were incredible so it's harder to judge it by its own merits. I was watching Stop Making Sense and it looks as though they were the best live band ever as well.

That's a great film but the CD version sounds a bit lumpen - have you got The Name Of This Band Is Talking Heads? I wish I had seen them on that second disc tour (or at all).

Nope, but I've heard good things about it. Is that the one with a load of songs from 77 on it? If so I will definitely track it down.

"Hehe! Vinyl in skips is genius - my first ever find was a working turntable with Mungo Jerry's In the Summertime already loaded and ready to play." geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeenius!

I love Talking Heads- they're one of my top bands. I like the post-Speaking in Tongues stuff as well. In fact, I recently dug out Little Creatures and loved hearing it again. Its patchy but good. I like that whole slightly overcooked 80s style though, which is a lot to do with it. I held off getting True Stories for years because I was told it was shit, but I really like it. Naked is a good album.

To me the early Talking Heads (i.e. 77) sounds a lot like Little Creatures in the songwriting department, but there was the bit where they became funkadelic in between.

I'm listening to the new Fujiya & Miyagi album, which is pretty different from the last stuff I really listened to of theirs (I think they were on Spymania with Casetteboy and that lot before?) Live drums, and a generally more live sound. Not sure if I'm so much in love with it to be honest, but it's good working music.

And now it's RAC - Nintendo vs Sega, which has a superb remix of one of my favourite ever computer game themes: A Link To The Past.

listening to Ogden's Nut Gone Flake this morning

Oh what a mindblast. Jacky Jill, knees up Mother Brodie.
Oh what a joy of a trickley howathere.

Brilliant Steve. Its such an amazing laugh. I wish that one day a year, everybody was made to speak like Stanley Unwin.

I'm loaded my mp3 player with a load of Marshall Crenshaw albums. I only discovered him by getting one of his LPs in the 20 for a fiver section of Andys records (I've discovered loads of bands that way, not all good). He's like a US Elvis Costello but even more power poppy. Anyone who fancies it should check out his first self-titled album and Field Day.

Big Bill Broonzy - as reccomended by Tom Colborn

HOT SHIT.

zigaboo modeliste - is the byrne and eno album any good?

I didn't really like it that much, Ben_dis. A couple of decent tracks on it, though.

It's an Eno album with Byrne singing on it. Some nice tunes, but nothing earth-shattering. I like it, but I don't love it like I love My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts.

Latest listening list from Modeliste Mansions:

Yoko Ono - Yes, I'm A Witch
Modest Mouse - We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank
Scrotal Threat - You. Outside. Now.

'Over And Over' is an outrageous rip off of some Big Star track or other.

The Damned - The Black Album

curtain call and lights grow dim
tragedy, love all lie within
each player takes his chance to play

... also featuring a tune called Therapy ^

A bit slow off the mark and it fucking KILLS me to admit it, but the last Kings of Leon album is fucking mustard.

Also,

Ken Stringfellow - Touched

Some Cash
Damian Dempsey - New York
Fionn Regan
Springsteen
Some old QOTSA stuff
Nils Olav - The Best View In The Room

I'm listening to people talking but I can't see them because none of you meanies will help me out on my AVI burning problem.

Cats In Paris - Courtcase 2000

This is everything I hoped it would be, all whimsical melodies soothed by strings, punctuated by stabs of synth and the clattering of kitchen implements. I think you should all hear it. The NME gave it a terrible review but it was one of those reviews where after reading it I knew it was EXACTLY what I wanted it to be. This album can make you dance, fall in love, fly to space and demolish your entire postal district in the space of one track. Yes.

Thomas Tantrum - Thomas Tantrum.

This is good stuff, like Life Without Buildings if they had the tunes of Blur. Except the first track, the first track is a bit rubbish. The rest is great fun. The lyrics are thoroughly forgettable but the tunes are consistently busy and inventive. It'll all rest on whether you like the singer's voice though. I like it a lot, you might not.

Those both sound great Matt! :-)

I've discovered that Suzanne Vega is/was amazing. 99.9f is superb. I'm also still loving the new Brian Wilson album, and The Chills and Marshall Crenshaw.

Vexkiddy - Knocking Out Numbers

Anyone who likes Venetian Snares, Squarepusher and that sort of malarky should download this album - it's great, and free! I got into them after seeing them live at bangface. And they get bonus points for making each track 3.03 long.

http://www.cockrockdisco.com/CRD2/albumpages/Crockp3-008.html

I concur with the Thomas Tantrum and The Chills praise, above :-)

The Thomas Tantrum album is fantastic, like mattstep says, the voice will either grate or you will love it. I love it! Roll on September 30th.

TV On The Radio - Dear Science,

definately need to check out the cats in paris record too!

Fabriclive - DJ Yoda

Blood On Satan's Claw soundtrack - not sure that any of my colleagues are enjoying it as much as me!

I also have a Toy Dolls anthology on my desk but I don't think I'll be putting that on.

Curtis Mayfield was a truely talented man.

Relationship of Command.

I still love this albumn, unfortunately it may lead to be careering from wall to wall in my office, at the very least I'll end up boucing in my chair and looking like a twat.

Does anyone need anything demolishing?

After hearing of Richard Wright's untimely demise, last night I played Dark Side Of The Moon.

*waits for flak*

No flak round these parts Zig - lovely. This reminds me too: I had a very "Bill Drummond" experience / coincidence last night. Was reading his 17 book, and just got to the chapter where he writes about how he feels on hearing of Syd Barrett's death. Richard Wright even gets a mention too.

I've had Floyd on for most of the day as well.

I would be listening to Pink Floyd if I had any to hand - instead I am listening to an album by the Mountain Firework Company - very nice it is too.

All my Floyd is on vinyl or (gulp) cassette. Happily, Marc Riley on listen-again on the radio is playing all 13 minutes of Shine On You.... My god this takes me back: soundtrack to my sixth form it was!

*nostalgiacises*

soundtrack to my sixth form it was!

Now I find that intriguing and puzzling, Jude, given that you are somewhat younger than me (in fact, you are the same age as my sister give or take a couple of months). When I was in 6th form, Pink Floyd would have been considered old hat. No disrespect to them (I have to confess my recognition of any Floyd tunes would be limited to 'Another brick in the Wall' and 'Money') it's just that the only people of my age who were Floyd fans were a few kids who had older siblings.

An interesting muso-demographic conundrum, I think.

Yes, they weren't contemporary. Me and my group of friends were just into them, for some reason. Possibly older siblings / boyfriends and stuff. I mainly listened to Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin throughout my sixth form days. I've *always* been cutting edge!

Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin remained acceptable at my school despite the punk wars being fought at the time - of course Yes, Genesis, Supertramp, ELO and any other rubbish of the same ilk were considered to be abominations.

Yes, Genesis, Supertramp, ELO and any other rubbish of the same ilk were considered to be abominations.

That sounds more like the prevailing outlook in my 6th form. If people didn't like punk, reggae and 2-tone, it was fairly acceptable for them to enjoy soul, northern soul or jazz-funk instead.

Somewhere inthe back of my brain the Cambridge Funketeers spring to mind

Repeatedly.

I would never make a detective - I was wondering who kunoichi was, now all is clear. God I'm unperceptive.

The Dudley Corporation - Year of the Husband.

This is great, recorded I think by one of The Frames, with a bit of a tinge of Frames vocal style. Having seen them only once I was singing along with some of these on first listen to the CD, so the tunes must be memorable. I guess it's indie music, lots of interesting rhythms and shedloads of collaborators on other instruments throughout.

Peter Andre is on the radio at the moment so I suppose I'm listening to that.

Batty probably has a raging horn on (or a half mast floppy-on) right now. If he's out in his taxi then one of his customers could be in for an antipodean inspired suprise.

Re-discovered an Ep by Caretaker. Really, really good...especially Hidden Agenda. Sort of an indie/punk/arty rock mash-up. It works. Anyone know if they're still going?

The new Automatic album. They're much better now 'Pennie' (the bloke who shouted at random in the background a lot) has gone and replaced by the frontman of Yourcodenameis:Milo.

Plus assorted new vinyl purchases including Bauhaus, Finitribe, Autechre, Robert Hood and Portishead (a lovely etched 12" release of "The Rip")

Which Finitribe?

"Monster In The House" purchased for two pounds in Beatniks in Norwich.

I dug out the 'Noise, Lust and Fun' album the other day and have the Peel session from around the same time. I must admit it sounded both 80s but not in a retro way (as in it isn't a sound that's really had a revival, maybe more early 90s).

Thanks, Jude. I hope it doesn't come across as 'Oh, I'm Mr Eclectic.' I'm simply playing some favorite records (and sharing them with you all) cos a girl has made me feel all funny. It feels very nice.

Mad, I was listening to Sparkle and Fade last night for the first time in nearly 10 years. I dont suppose you have a copy of Time's Incinerator by Soul Asylum?

On official cassette maybe!

That Everclear album is quality... check out their myspace, they're doing some pretty random stuff up there... or they were... they've taken all the cover songs down! bugger.

dont suppose you could tape me a copy? I've been looking for it for ages but had no luck...

I will check out Everclears myspace this afternoon

I had all of the Twin Tone back catalogue of official cassette to sell through my distro in the 90s. I'll have a look later on, I may have a spare... OK, cassettes, cardboard drawer boxes on top shelf on built-in wardrobe... superb.

Awesome!! Thanks

I've got 10cc on.

Which album, mwhite? They were the first band I properly bought LPs by, when I was a kid. I had Deceptive Bends and a couple of others whose names I can't remember...

Its the recent best of. I have Sheet Music and some of the later stuff on vinyl. How Dare You is a favourite, and also the L plate album that Godley and Creme did. Art School Canteen contains one of my favourite lines ever:

Let me tell you what it's all about

Walking round with your talent hanging out

I'm feeling ragged as a scrubber's tights

Must have had too much to paint

Last night's routine

Art school canteen

Art school canteen

Art school canteen

Come in late and go home earlier

One day a week or maybe less

So I lied about the funeral

I was really playing chess

But I was seen

By the coffee machine

Art school canteen

I'd cut my ear off to spite my face

But it's been done

No, maybe that's too weird

I'd better sketch it out on Kodatrace

And redesign my beard

Does getting into Zappa

Mean getting out of Zen

Sex has reared its ugly head at last

But it didn't look ugly then

Begin the Beguine

Art school canteen

Art school canteen

How Dare You was one of the others I had, I think. Did that have the "I wanna be a boss, I wanna be a big boss, I wanna boss the world around, I wanna be the biggest boss that ever bossed the world around" one on it?

I think so, though its a while since I've dug it out. It had lazy ways on it as well :-)

That's the one!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Dare-You-10cc/dp/B000006U4M

I think I know pretty much all the songs off 'L' having heard my dad playing it about 500 times. 'Sandwiches of You' and 'Fourth Form Punchbag' ('Ready for the polythene ... bag treatment') I remember as well as 'Art School Canteen'. Never heard of it since until people started talking about it on here, bizarrely.

I'm listening to one of the rarest commodities on the planet: a reader demo that's really good.

www.myspace.com/starsandsonsuk

A nice change, to say the least.

Today's listening has been a spot of The Datsuns (new album) and now a touch of The Research - Master O I Do Like To Be Beside The Suicide (? odd title).

Weird iTunes. The Old Terminal is, I think, the proper name of The Research's album. What I wrote there ^ is what my iTunes says it is called.

been listening to some Bob Dylan, isn't Positively 4th Street brilliant :)

I saw Jakob Dylan on Later last night and thought, what a pain it must be for everything you do to be filtered through peoples' love / hate of his pa. I couldn't help but look for similarities in his voice and playing.

I've been listening to Weezer's blue album, and fantasising about doing Weezer at one of ABA's fabled tribute nights. If only I could play guitar properly.

^ Oooh, don't know how I did that!

I thought Abadou & Miriam rocked last night. Can't rememeber who else was on.

Apart from that, lots of Shitty Limits, lots of early Wu Tang, 'Township Funk' by Mujava, 'Another World' by Antony and the Johnsons, some Violent MInds, a bit of Rilo Kiley, and some Slayer.

Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
The Manchester Orchestra - I'm Like A Virgin Losing A Child

Last Shadow Puppets album. It's very disappointing. Kind of a really crappy Love/Scott Walker hybrid without any of the charm or talent that those two acts had. And fuck me, who produced it? It sounds HORRIBLE. Really cheap!

LSP album was produced by their drummer, who's also in Simian Mobile Disco. I was worried from the moment they said they wanted it to sound like Scott Walker. Gotta be pretty special production / arrangements to do that.

Yeah, I haven't heard the sound of any bits of steak slapping against a wendy house yet.

Hehe!

LFO LFO

How's the Manchester Orchestra, Jamesttg? I'd forgotten all about them - saw them at Reading last year I think, really liked them.

I really like it, took a couple of listens but it's a good mix of folk and upbeat indie-pop. Kind of like The Shins meets Saves The Day if that makes any sense. I get the impression they'd be great live.

I'm loving the Fleet Foxes album too, beautiful 60's pop.

Yep, they were really good live. I'm with ya on the Fleet Foxes, too (http://www.thelineofbestfit.com/2008/05/fleet-foxes/).

Fleet Foxes are great. Anyone else got tickets to see them at the junction?

Ooh yeah. Tour sponsored by The Line Of Best Fit, too :-D

I like Fleet Foxes. I have tickets to see them at the junction. I don't have high hopes. The junction is shit. The shed would have been better. Still too hungover to form decent sentences.

Yeah, really getting into this band. I see they have a whole lot of splits, will probably try to get those as well if you recommend them. They've just signed to Deathwish Inc, which is a bit suprising as they mostly put out really brutal stuff. Cool though.

Dude, you have to! Sounded fucking amazing on first listen. Totally raging. One track featured a lengthy sax solo.

Is the new squarepusher album any good?

Only listened twice. Some good squidgy stuff, some dodgy rock guitar, nice slow tune near the end. That's all I remember.

Last night I listened to the following Side A's

Ariel Pink - The Doldrums
Flower Travellin Band - Satori

The first track on the Squarepusher album is very melodic (for squarepusher) and I was thinking that the album might be a bit less leftfield than his previous albums. But give it a few more tracks and he's back with the head twisting noises and crazy experimentation. It's very varied. Not all the tracks really work, but I like it cos he's always trying new things. Oh and for the slap bass!

Gene Clark - White Light

I get it now.

Flower Travellin Band - Satori

goatwolf: have you read Julian Cope's Japrocksampler?

I have indeed. tis a very good read. KrautRockSampler is also very good

That's on my "suggestions for Mr J1" christmas list... He read the Jap one, I've not got to it yet (still got a lovely satisfying big pile of birthday books to get through before I reach it). He really liked it, though.

KrautRockSampler is about 50 quid these days on ebay. He needs to do a second press!

Was just gonna say. Thought it may be more than tha'!

You got a copy?

I have a copy - but it's in German

What got to me was hearing certain tunes on random playlists. When you hear things like 'For a Spanish Guitar' and 'With Tomorrow' on their 'own', they really, really shine.

A rough guide to the blues, which is crazy confusing. I was just listening to Blind Willie McTell, and suddenly it's Lyrics Born?! I like both, but this is stretching rough AND blues a little.

Hehe. Sounds fun though. I read that Blind Wille McTell book by Michael Gray recently. Very good.

Pendulum.......its quite catchy

I've got to work today but have nicked the neighbouts wireless so am doing it from home. I've got a 50s boxset on.

Nuts and Raisins is staying with me for a week so we've had two long evenings of playing old records and drinking whisky. Last night consisted of George McRrae, ELO and Follies. The night before he was going mad over his favourite ever musical (Little Me with Sid Caesar apparently) and we had some Sparks in their electro pop phase, the old Ed SUllivan Command Performance LP, The Beat (pissed skanking), Doris Day with Secret Love, and the Connells first album. We both loved the last one and decided to sleep on the sofa so we could hear it for longer. At 5am that seemed stupid but it worked at midnight.

Merzbow and Carlos Giffoni - "Synth Destruction". Bit disappointed with this, really. Seems like whenever Merzbow collaborates with other extremists, it turns into a bit of a macho pissing contest with no real emotional content. On the plus side, the packaging is very pretty.

Nissenmondai - "Tori/Neji". Brilliant scrappy noisy rock. Anyone with a song called "This Heat", which sounds a lot like This Heat is cool in my book. Loses points for having a hidden track at the end which made me jump and spill my coffee.

Sunn 0))) - "White-1" - Haven't listened to this in ages, what a flipping corker of a record. I love Julian Cope's camp as christmas spoken word vocals - "PLAY YOUR DOOM AXE STEPHEN O'MALLEY, SUB BASS CLINGING TO THE SIDES OF THE VALLEY, SUB BASS RINGING IN EACH LAST DITCH OF GLOOM, GREG ANDERSON PURVEYOR OF SONIC DOOM!".

Bob Dylan - Bootlegs vols. 1-3. Some amazing alternate takes of such well-known tunes, that were abandoned because of studio noise or whatever, but cast a whole new light on the song through the arrangement. Grrrrreat! Idiot wind with totally different instrumentation a particular highlight - got to be better than the album version.

Also listening to about 30 CRS* demos with intent.

Are you camping then?

Those versions on Bootleg 1-3 are earlier recordings from a session in New York.

Here's a pair of boots that.

Deleted Post

just to be sure on this. domestic violence and shooting policemen - funny or not funny?

i think it's very much dependent on context

Deleted Post

indeed. i think ice t knows quite a bit about this.

Arthur Russell - Time Away

the Wave Pictures - Long Island

Two great songs.

I've picked up most of the Arthur Russell stuff that Rough Trade have put out - there is some great stuff on those records. I think World Of Echo is my favourite.

You're right. There's some great, great stuff.

The Sound of Music.

It's really good.

Miracls of 86 - Every Famous Last Word
Pinetop Seven - The Nights Bloom

I'm listening to lablemates of TTG Shoes and Socks off - from the muddy banks of melitzer a lot at the moment. It's a little acoustic CD by Toby what used to be in Meet me in St Louis and it seems to just hit me right at the moment.

It's just beautiful.

Ipod is on shuffle but last 5 were:

At the Drive In
Portishead
Latterman
Sloppy Seconds
Jawbreaker

im slightly concerned though as my ipod has started to make those disk skipping noises when flicking between songs, I am assuming that is a bad sign!

The fire alarm just went off as I was listening to Atari Teenage Riot. Sounded brilliant.

did you put on your fire marshalls jacket and lead people out of the building or did you bogle?

After a morning of Johnny Cash, I am now listening to New Forms2 by Roni Size. There will be no bogling on my watch.

Deleted Post

A bizarre car alarm or something just outside my house which sounds like a loud random bird simulator.

Earplugs or field recording equipment?

Deleted Post

I've been listening to loads of acid house records, both new and old. Might do a new mix actually.

I'm having a mini-Gillian Welch fest. Also some dubstep, I finally got it last week.

esg - a south bronx story
sixto rodriguez - cold fact
the clash - super black market clash
santogold

Bettie Seveert - Palomine (had forgotten how much I like this record)
Fleet Foxes (I like this more than I thought I would)

Both these albums have fantastc covers.

Deleted Post

Still struggling with Fleet Foxes. They're just so bloody WET.

Tim Rose
Devo

Deleted Post

Fleet Foxes are certainly a bit wet but they're quite good at it - one track at a time is probably best.

The Wave Pictures - Long Island

It's amazing.

And some Little Richard and Jonathan Richman records.

Deleted Post

ooh nice one. I

El-P- Fantastic Damage
Company Flow - Funcrusher plus
Ol Dirty Bastard - Nigga Please
Edan - Beauty and the beat
Gene Pitney - 20 Golden Greats

I love company flow. Have you ever heard their instrumental album from 1999 called Little Johnny from the Hospitul? It's awesome.

Miles Davis Q. - Sweet Pea

At home listening to the 65-68 boxset. Fecking unbelievable band.

yes its great. the mr len comp 'tribute to co flow' is also great. Some unreleased stuff and alternate versions. In fact the double vinyl of mine will be going on ebay very soon (along with around 300 other records/cds)

goat - post a link to ebay when up eh?

will do. I'm having to sell most of my def jux/co flow + related records (mr lif,cage,aesop,can ox,vast aire,perceptionists, etc)

I'm listening to Yasushi Yoshida, beautiful Japanese instrumental stuff: here some here: http://www.myspace.com/slowcalm
Album doesn't seem to be available in the UK:(

Deleted Post

JimJames managed to download an album from some disreputable source and it's very good but I'd like to purchase it legitimately really. Got a myspace message from Yasushi Yoshida himself today saying you can buy from the record label's website but it's all in dollars and I fear both the exchange rate and the postage...
