Big Black - Atomizer (1986)
After Pitchfork re-posted an article about essential Albini works, I figured it was about time I set time aside for Big Black. I was looking at some of his history and read that he used a drum machine on this material. I really didn't expect Big Black to have such an industrial rock feel to it, though it's certainly noise/post-hardcore as well, but does go well with things like Pigface.

Naked Raygun - Jettison (1988)
I've had Naked Raygun in my queue for a while but just learned of the connection with Big Black. So, I pulled this out of my 1988 queue. Good first listen.

Dead Boys - Young Loud and Snotty (1977)
Pulled from my 1977 queue, as I was reminded of it in another thread. Not bad on first play, pretty standard late 70s punk.

The Stranglers - Stranglers IV (Rattus Norvegicus) (1977)
Another punk classic from my very long queue. As is often the case when listening to classics from long ago for the first time, it'll need repeat listens to absorb and judge. But first impressions were good. I thought I'd listened to a Stranglers album before but as it turns out this is my first.

Yvette - Time Management [EP] (2015)
Just learned about this one a few days ago and it came out today. I've listened to their 2013 LP Process a few times and liked it alright, a blend of noise rock, industrial rock, and post-punk. This seems along the same lines with a bit more electronic mixed it, giving it a dance-punk vibe at times. 4 tracks makes it very digestible.

Wavves - V (2015)
I really liked the last Wavves album, Afraid of Heights. It was a great blend of indie rock and surf rock/punk, pop punk even. After one listen to this one I'm left feeling like I listened to a somewhat generic pop punk album. Maybe it'll grow on me with repeat listens. After all this type of music is just meant to be fun, I just need its hooks to latch on properly. Maybe it's the vocals I didn't enjoy as much.

Girl Band - Holding Hands with Jamie (2015)
I checked out this Dublin post-punk/noise rock band's two EPs recently and found some good material amongst some more challenging material. This debut LP was released last week but I'm just listening to it now as we speak. I will never win against my backlog. Oh so how is it? Well quite interesting so far. Noisy, a bit no-wave as well. Not all that much post-punk after all to this point. It's a dirty, unnerving, yet groovy record.

You're recommending gold. I'll be listening to more than half of these records.

So i saw lana del rey here, just want to say: love it.

However, i just bought "godspeed! you black emperor"'s
New album "asunder, sweet and other distress", and frankly, i'm disappointed. Mostly because the tracs don't remind me of the old GYBE. But hey, they tried

:laughing:

Here's my latest download...


George Russell - Jazz in the Space Age (1960) Full vinyl LP
https://youtu.be/tCfzE7w0SFw

Far out! :cool:

Bought: The Clash - "London Calling"
Downloaded: Don't recall
Listened to: Kitaro - "The Light of the Spirit"

http://www.jeffco.ca/christmas/cover...reveen-750.jpg

Um so I bought this at the record store for a dollar. It's every bit as amazing as youd expect. Its a hypnotist helping you get over smoking and eating. Cant recommend this enough.

On the non hilarious but still awesome side I also picked up:

Mary O'Hara's Ireland for a dollar
Inside (The Taj Mahal) by Paul Horn for a dollar
Rubycon by Tangerine Dream for not a dollar
Journey in Satchidananda by Alice Coltrane

Spent a little over $50 and im quite pleased.

Listening to...


Dennis - Hyperthalamus

Solid album.

Area Code 615 - Trip in the Country (1970)
https://youtu.be/o0RBDFr9aGw

Just heard Psychic Warfare by Clutch last night. It's pretty awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPVi8ZNyicA

One of my faves ever. Majestic stuff.

Oh absolutely mine too. Got it for about $25 which is worth it to me. They had Spirit of Eden by Talk Talk there as well but it was something like $65-75 which is just not in my price range unfortunately haha. Really would like to own that too though.

Windhand - Grief's Infernal Flower

This is a good album overall, but nothing mindblowingly good. I think this will be one of the albums that I throw on when I'm hanging out with my dad. There's a heavy Alice In Chains influence with the vocals/harmonies (arguably the best element of AIC and Windhand alike), but it doesn't feel like they're ripping AIC off, which is nice.

Sealings - I'm a Bastard (2015)
Lo-fi, noisy post-punk sounding, not bad on first listen.


http://rymimg.com/lk/f/l/da103d90494...9a/5760673.png

WAND - 1000 Days (2015)
Quite good neo-psych/garage rock, and their second in the same year!


http://rymimg.com/lk/f/l/236327839a3...36/5722815.jpg

Girls Names - Arms Around a Vision (2015)
Post-punk from Belfast. I really liked their 2013 album The New Life, so I pre-ordered this one on cream vinyl.

Acid Baby Jesus - LP (2011)
I heard about these guys somewhere recently. I checked out a few tracks, and played the full album this morning. I was impressed, nice garage/psych rock/punk from Athens, Greece.

Coil - Backwards (2015)
I've been a fan of industrial music since the early 90s but I was only ever a casual Coil fan. Part of the reason is that their CDs always cost so much that I never took a chance of them. I eventually checked out a few of their 80s and 90s albums during the 2000s, and the mid 2000s releases even more recently. This is a new archival release of an album that should have been released in the early 90s, after Love's Secret Domain. The material was remixed and reworked for release as The New Backwards in 2008, but here is presented in its original form. I have heard The New Backwards, but this is the first time I'm hearing the original versions even though some have been previously released on compilations.

Movimento D'Avanguardia Ermetico - Lacrime degli Dei (Full Album)

http://cdn.ticketfly.com/i/00/01/73/05/81-atlg.jpg
Christian Scott - Stretch Music

Personally, I'm really digging this. But my opinion on jazz music I feel becomes justified if Frownland approves.

Fred Frith & Evan Parker - Hello, I Must Be Going

http://cdn.discogs.com/PAPydRKefNNLL...-1603.jpeg.jpg

Two of my absolute favourites on their respective instruments finally collaborated.
So far it's as awesome as I imagined. I hope there'll be some nice parts with Parker's minimalistic, squeaky circular breathing thing.

Check your PMs in about half an hour.

Listening to the newer extended edition with extra tracks not on my old vinyl copy...


The Electric Flag - A Long Time Comin' (1968) - Full Album [Extended Edition]

Killing Joke - Pylon (2015)

I'm enjoying this so far, but it's not Album of the Year material which is sad. It sounds like a Greatest Hits albums, but with all new material. While Absolute Dissent (2010) and MMXII (2012) both had distinct styles, Pylon really just feels like it's a retread of everything they've made since Extremities, Dirt, and Various Repressed Emotions (1990). Still, it's definitely their heaviest albums since Hosannas From the Basement of Hell and it's always nice to see a bunch of guys in their mid 50's rock harder than the bands they inspired.

New Prozak album is awesome.

Strange seeing how he went from being this really corny and generic horrorcore guy with Aftabirth then changing to become a much more introspective and politically/socially conscious artist.

Blut Aus Nord - Memoria Vetusta III: Saturnian Poetry

I was compiling this post on Friday, and wrote out a little blurb about each album as I often like to do. At one point, as I was getting closed to finish, I went to open a new tab to look up some information. But instead of hitting Control-T on my keyboard, I hit Control-R and the page reloaded - my labored post gone forever. I've since recovered emotionally, but I'm not going to spend the energy typing my thoughts again. So here are the albums I've listened to since my last post:

Neil Young - Harvest (1972)
I had never actually listened to this album all the way through until this weekend when my female companion decided to play the record Sunday morning.

Man, where do I get a female companion that listens to Neil Young? Because around here, I'm SOL.

Sturgill Simpson - Metamodern Sounds in Country Music

I adore this album. Actually, his Live at Sun King Brewery is quite nice, if you get a chance to watch it.

Hell yeah, man. Badass album by a badass dude. Are you a fan of the earlier album by chance? Or perhaps the bluegrass stuff he done before he became a solo act?

Sturgill and Jason Isbell came out on stage together one night last week, must have been a badass show live. Was pretty cool on video.

^
The only other album of his I've heard is High Top Mountain, which I love.


Moving on to next album today:

What a voice. I'm not well versed in Soul music, but this has to be among the best albums ever recorded in the genre. And one of the greatest live albums ever, period. I've always loved live albums and this is one of the best I've heard.
