Last update before Christmas (literally: like, the night before) so let's get right into it.
Frownland kicks us off this week, remaining, as he has been for some time now
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...wnapilago.html, and he's waxing lyrical about John Cage, in a series he's calling “Beyond the Silence: the lesser works of someone, name escapes me...”
Apparently, if all you know about Cage is three numbers, two of which are the same, you need to read this. Apparently.
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...nnerspace.html this week include Wolfgang Voigt, the KLF oh, and we see the inner sanctum: got to be worth checking out for that at least!
Deep personal issues continue to be poured out in
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...iii-story.html, but as I said, in deference to and out of respect for the personal nature of this journal I'm not going into details. Elsewhere,
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...016-prior.html has hit its stride, with Kid Cudi, Madvillain, Dead Prez and more Kanye of course. Also Danny Brown and Denzel Curry.
Mondo's wishing everyone a Happy Christmas in
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...istortion.html while Nick Cave, SPK, Stockhausen, Biosphere, Wire and Rudimentary Peni are some of the albums he encourages us to listen to as he says
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...d-my-life.html
Abi Reimold is one of the “Sounds” to be found this week in
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...e-gallery.html
while Regina Spekor, Entropia, Vektor, Carly Rae and Bowie all feature in
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...bums-year.html as he gets closer to the top...
And so back to me. The gravelly-voiced Chris Rea is the latest pick from the Great Discography Project in
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...d-journal.html, while another Riverside album goes under the microscope in
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...k-journal.html. “Over the Garden Wall” we go once more in
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...ive-metal.html, to check out Fairport Convention, while
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...y-ireland.html chronicles the arrival of the English in Ireland. Finally, we're wrapping up trains in
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...heme-park.html and Dredd is losing the battle with the Sovs in the Apocalypse War, on view over at
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...d-2000-ad.html.
And that's it for this year folks! Next update will be on January 1st, so let me just take this opportunity to wish you all a
Happy Christmas, Meatbags!
and a
Happy New Year!
See you in 2017!
