The radio station I worked at brought The Fall to town
and the tunes they did are the first two on that album:
"NWRA" and "Hip Priest." Great show! (at a place called "Tut's").


Erkki Kurenniemi (1941 - 2017)

He even looked a bit like Mark E. Smith back in the day.

I did! Loved it.

Van Morrison - Listen To The Lion (Full Version)

Stravinsky - Orpheus

Feeling like some Liszt this afternoon:

Another band close to my heart, listening to this new song. The album is due in two days!

This sounds very different to their previous work but it's alright, may grow on me, who knows

Starting off the day with some excellent Pere Ubu worship

Midori Takada - Through the Looking Glass (1983)

1. Mr. Henri Rousseau's Dream
2. Crossing
3. Trompe-L'oeil
4. Catastrophe Σ

Beautifully calm, harmonious, dreamy, hypnotic, meditative, chaotic, experimental and trancy

Jesus help me, Jason and the Nashville Scorchers' first two EPs are a wildly fun and addictive ride. Cowpunkers unite.

They may not necessarily be innovative but I love them:

Nothing quite compares to the original but there are some great versions of Jambalaya from the 70s that I give almost equal play time.



On the topic of covers, listening to Three Dog Night's It Ain't Easy for the first time tonight and man, I think I like their version of Woman more than the original, I've always thought that this song could use a bit more fury, this is it.

Today:

Sorabji - Opus clavicembalisticum
Mr Bungle - Disco Volante
Leonard Cohen - Songs of love and hate
Nick Drake - Pink Moon
Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible
Sandy Denny - Sandy (one of my all time favorite albums)

And I might do Emperor's Anthems to the Welkin at dusk (my favorite black metal album) afterwards :)

Now listening to a bunch of alt country, and while I love pure country, it's still nice to hear country from the perspective of rock and alternative types. Uncle Tupelo are a pretty ****ing sweet example. Better than Wilco at least (who rose from the ashes of Uncle Tupelo). No idea why Wilco are so well known but Tupelo languish in relative obscurity.

I love Tupelo!

My cousins actually turned me onto them, knew about them before but saw a No Depression vinyl laying around and trusted that it'd turn out alright if I listened to them afterwards. Am a fan.

I'm not sure what was the first country artist I ever liked, but Uncle Tupelo were definitely one of the very first. I've been lazy about following up on them though, so I'm gonna change that today. No Depression is too good to not follow up on.

And if you like Tupelo then I'd rec Lucero. I just found them, but they sound very much in the same vein (possibly too much) and kinda rule.

Ever since Frown stated how he can't get into Arto Lindsay's solo stuff I can't stop listening to it.
Especially this song. Pop perfection.

Super-stoked for an album ever since the first snippets appeared on YouTube.

^Me too. Stetson in a metal context sounds like a match made in heaven and Greg Fox is one of my favourite drummers.

I'm all about those wood blocks.

I'm gonna have to decide whether to buy a Blu-ray player for this release.

If you're into the country side of country rock then Waylon Jennings was the law. He had plenty of softer songs, but when he went hard then god damn was it manly. As much as I love me some alt-country rock ****, the country artists were the ones who really got the country side.

Waylon Jennings double post cause this is a top ten country song. OMFG this song is badass and fun and catchy and awesome.

Wait, Waylon Jennings didn't write his own songs so far as I know. Or at least he played a **** load of other people's songs.

What's up with that rogue comma too.

How is that a rogue comma?

In the meme

"before PC's, and autotune"

That's not to mention the ****ing apostrophe too. So far my experience with Waylon Jennings fans has not been good.

Oh right. Yeah, I love me some Waylon, but I assume nothing positive about his fans.

You've just made enemies on this site, myself included. I mean I can dig a very small bit of Dream Theater, and Train of Thought as an actual album, but **** if I can get behind Images and Words. ****ing Dream Theater, bro.

Fair enough, I used to be a fan like 6 years ago. Haven't listened to them in a loooong time, just cycling through stuff right now.
