The Send Someone Something They Dont Listen To but May Like Thread

bob. · 02-08-2011, 02:10 PM

so here are two very different albums for Charlemagne:

Fugazi - Red Medicine

out of what is practically a perfect discography this album "is the cheese"....first off i really think that Guy sticks out on this album....through the years i've always gravitated towards his songs on Fugazi albums...not that i dislike Ian's songs...i just feel more with Guy's....and on this album he just explodes with cynical lyrics and his over energetic style....plus this is when the band started experimenting a little bit more with sound and noise....i hope it's a great introduction to an amazing band

Psychic TV - Allegory & Self

this was a changing moment for this band which tends to fall under the umbrella "industrial" tag...this album is about as industrial as a barren desert....this is more along the lines of LSD laced experimental pop music...with a bit of a flare for 60s psychedelic....although there are still tracks on here that are pure PTV...animalistic, sexual, chaotic and more like cultish worship songs.....i honestly think you may enjoy this....

bob... send me something... please?

bob. · 02-08-2011, 03:50 PM

a couple for theuglyorgan:

Swervedriver - Mezcal Head

so in a pm theuglyorgan told me he was leaning towards some good indie al la The Flaming Lips....for some reason the first thing that popped in my head was Swervedriver's amazing 2nd album (probably because it came out the same year as Flaming Lips immortal Transmissions From the Satellite Heart)....this album is pretty amazing....in the fact that it incorporates shoegaze, scratchy noise, experimental, and classic pop....it really is an all around great album....and honestly this is essential 90s alternative rock.... concentrate on the lyrics of Blowin' Cool

The Black Heart Procession - Amore Del Tropico

so these guys...if you haven't guessed by their name....are a bit on the dark side...but still this is some amazingly good pop music...with great lyrics, kind of avant-garde instrumentation, great pop chords, and again the darkness within the lyrics and music....and the best part is that this album is in fact a murder mystery rock opera

....so listen to the entire album and see if you can figure out who the murderer is

^ That second one sounds so cool, I've downloaded it and will listen to it later tonight.

For Rezz:

Virtually no YT vids or internet info means good times to me!

Nothing particularly original but it is a fantastic groove based stoner album that slipped under the radar. Norwegian in origin and well worth a look.

No one has sent me anything, and that makes my heart sad.

Thank you!

a few for ThePhanastasio:

sorry i really could not decide which i wanted to send so i decided to send all four

looking through your charts on last.fm i noticed that you seem to really enjoy strong female singer songwriters.....her are two of my favorites

starting with....

Jarboe - Anhedoniac

Anhedoniac: One who is unable to experience pleasure.

Jarboe was a long time member of the pivotal band Swans....what was great about her is that she brought a strong and powerful female energy to a very male dominated masculine sound....something she continued in her solo career

Anhedoniac is her third solo release and has been and will likely always be my favorite....this album reaches straight into your soul....an absolute exploration of the beauty of pain and despondency.....one thing is for sure....she is in complete control

Lydia Lunch - Queen Of Siam

again a different twist on the typical female singer songwriter....but one i really think you are going to love

this is Lydia Lunch's 1980 debut and it is a five star album all the way....the lyrics are witty, cynical, and damn right perfect....something that Miss Lunch has never had a problem with....the music is very eclectic....taking form her scummy 'No Wave' roots while also incorporating some really groovy jazz sounds.....

and then to further your education of my beloved Current 93

Current 93 - Imperium

this amazing album released in 1987 sparked the beginning of a new era for Current 93....and is still i think considered one of their greatest achievements...before this album their albums concentrated on tape delays and loops, noise, and bellowing chants of suffering....creating wonderful ritualistic albums....with Imperium David Tibet concentrates on two things....minimalism and repetition....while first doing what would become the staple of all Current 93 albums.....his lyrical prowess

Current 93 - Earth Covers Earth

out of all the album released by this band....Earth Covers Earth speaks to me the most.....every lyric on this album is an example of beautiful poetry....actually my favorite track (and possibly my favorite track by the band itself) "Hourglass For Diana' is a poem by seventeenth century poet John Hall and has such a musically building property of both guitar and violin that by the end of the song you have a true sense of empowerment as David bellows to you "How Art Thou Nothing When Thou Art Most Of All!"....its a feeling i still get every time i listen to this song

for the most part this album is what Current 93 becomes....with concentration of traditional folk music and lyrics concentrating on the forthcoming alpha/omega.....this is my favorite time for them....the group itself was comprised of so many great people....funny enough in the liner notes it credits Boyd Rice for scary voices and evil smiles

Both good choices! Here's a trivial bit for you: Imperium was actually, according to a book of Indie Hits in The 80's, C93's only album to go into the Top 30 Indie Albums in August, 1987 - For a week, but it was in there. I think it was planned to be part of a 2 album concept wth Nurse With Wound recording the other album, but there was so much to do possibly, and that concept went to Thunder Perfect Mind instead. The construction of the album is good: On one side the epic title track's dreamy/nightmarish sounds (Owning the vinyl, some samples in it play at 45 RPM while some others possibly are played at 78) and the other side's Folk edge.

Earth Covers Earth is my favorite of the two.
