For some reason NIN just passed me by completely.
I got this from a friend in Scotland recently & really enjoyed it.
I'm planning a "shopping" trip to amazon later, so something else may end up coming my way.
Can you recommend anything?

i've always really liked 'the fragile' a lot, although i suppose any "real fan" (:lol:) should say it's too long and incoherent etc. etc.
- a bit like any "real" cure fans are supposed to be bashing WMS, i suppose...
anyway, i always liked it a lot. for me there's certain kind of "glide" on it that is not found on other NIN albums and which i really genuinely like.
then again, i cannot not recommend 'pretty hate machine' and 'downward spiral' too. :smth023
i'd say those two are worth getting.

some of the re-mix "albums" are pretty useless (like 'thing falling apart' etc.). some good re-workings here and there but nothing more.
i didn't enjoy the latest album 'with teeth' either. whereas it's a good thing that mr. reznor feels a lot better these days than he obviously did in the late 90s and it's good that he didn't end up going down that certain spiral altogether AND whereas i do know it's a stupid thing to say it, but i'm still almost left with the feeling that he did make better music when he was all messed up. 'the fragile' is the peak of that, i suppose.

hmm maybe i should try to convert myself over again... not sure - you see i tried so many times already. ;)
anyway, no doubt it's an improvement for sure.

about the stations: i'll actually be on my way to the railway station later today for real. so maybe i'll just go hang around well in time and sort of "spike it up" a bit, i'm feeling slightly nostagic today... hehehe i think the H&M kiddies need something to stare at for a change instead of being stared at themselves hahaha :P :P

Oh, and I totally agree on The Fragile. It's neither too long, nor too incoherent, IMO. I like the repeating/similar musical themes that surface and re-surface throughout the album. Parts of certain songs can be clipped and pasted into totally different songs and fit and sound pretty natural. I haven't listened to it in a while, so examples are not coming to me right away.

Oh, now it's "Heavenly Nobodies" by Lush.

yes, exactly. i think it's actually pretty succesful in the use of repeted materials/themes/motives. every other album i knew that tried the same more or less failed, yet 'the fragile' manages to produce interesting and meaningful links and arches between the songs. you get these repeated feelings of deja-vu that really serve something within the overall structure.
of course the structure isn't as straightforwardly powerful as it is with 'downward spiral' - maybe people simply grew to expect something similar again and again. but i especially like the contrast and combination that placing such straightforward material within such a layered structure produces. because in that way just about everything in it becomes much more dimensional and meaningful. to me  'downward spiral' is very "chronological", like you "read it from left to right". in 'the fragile' it suddenly becomes three-dimensional.
i haven't found many people to agree with me on this, but this is the reason why i do think that 'the fragile' actually is a step forward from 'downward spiral'.

hehe no offense at all of course but for me 'kyoto song' has got to be one of the most annoying cure songs ever.
the phrase structure (or should i say "structure") keyboard melody is so poor that it's almost idiotic
- it sounds like it was made by some musical moron, not by the band that... uh! :oops:
it's a bit annoying really, that they used to play it that much live!

no, i think the melody in 'the walk' is actually a pretty good musical invention - and this regardless of whether or not one liked the song. the melody in 'the walk' is based on a clearly defined idea that's clearly directed somewhere. yes it might be very short but still musically it's "going somewhere". and it has a rhythmic spine that carries it onwards - now where's that on 'kyoto song'? uh, there is none... *blush*
'kyoto song' is just clumsy what comes to the overall structture of the melody/compositional use of the melodic motives:
at first it's stuck within a range of a perfect fifth, repeating one idea, then repeating the second idea that's even more narrow registrally... and there, at the very last moment possible to save it, instead of finally offering us some catch, some proof of "why we even bothered this far", what was all that opening stuff trying to take us... then it just completely fails us by making a pointless  return to the oepning motive!! that's just a silly decision altogether, there's no point in the whole thing then.
anyway, i tink it was pretty much dead from the start anyway. the opening motives are too symmetric both melodically and rhyhtmically, it gets framented and cannot ever build a melodic arch that it's pretending it's doing.
thus.

' the walk' - good work!  :smth023

The Walk = good work on Simon's part (well, live), playing those damned octaves perfectly every time. I can't think of a show where I've heard him flub the bassline to that.

uhh, sorry everyone who likes them but what a dreadful piece of music!
maybe there's some general atmospheric similarity/similarity of tempo to 'the drowning man' but i have to say i wouldn't have thought about it unless it hadn't been suggested to me first. mainly because the harmonies/bass line are not at the same. even if they were more alike, i think this 'out of the sky' song would be just a perfect example for demonstrating everything that's good in 'the drowning man': 'the drowning man' is such a great song because there's such an intensity of the structure, there is an dramatic arch that gets built up and thus actually hides the fact that it's still just looping a certain passage of music anyway. do the same without the arch and you get what we have here: a sense of something just looping over and over again, without any real motivation for doing it...
ok, sorry to be harsh... but i really was getting bored to death while listening to this band...!
*sorry*

hi steve
uh, about the flu: let me just say if you're feeling flu-ish this week and you're still feeling flu-ish next week - then take the hint and start taking it easy well in time. i sort of didn't and now i'm on a sick-leave until may.  :?

i must have started my day a bit harshly, i guess... but i just found the song pretty dreadful...

hehehe i must have been out of my mind but actually i bought that one last week. one of the local record stores had this big annual sale and i ended up buying quite a lot of things (i couldn't decide which one or two i'd buy so i had to choose the whole bunch).
i have to agree that the sound is HUGELY improved there. the old one was really really dreadful, i can hear it now.
and i can actually even enjoy some of it a bit, like'black planet', 'walk away'. anyway still i just miss the variety of songwriting/arrangements/sounds/atmospheres. i guess that's why i never really learned to recognize any SoM songs: they all just sound too much alike to me.
and one things for sure: i absolutely can not stand 'amphetamine logic'!!  :evil:
mr. eldritch's howling makes me go completely nuts, i'm afraid i have to say i don't want to hear that song ever again! :?

but i also was listening to their royal albert hall '85 show the other day and it surely had its moments, i have to admit.

yes i know i know... i must be on a warpath again.  :twisted:
but let me explain myself:
i decided to try and listen to 'low life' again the other day, like "let's give these guys another chance".
but 'love vigilantes': now that's got to be one of the most stupid songs EVER written - everything in it is plain awful. it's musically annoying, the lyrics are horrible (and b. sumner whining those particular lyrics just adds to the pain...) - it's so cheesy that it makes you want to shoot yourself to the foot, just to feel something else. i just couldn't stand it, i could never even finish that one song and so never got into perfect kiss & the rest, sorry!

YOU DONT HAVE TO GO FURTHER FROM THEIR LAST TWO ALBUMS TO ADMIT HOW GREAT THEY ARE!

AND THE FACT IS, THEY ARE STILL RELEVANT BAND WHICH STILL DICTATES HOW THINGS SHOULD BE DONE IN ALTERNATIVE MUSIC SCENE...

I CANT SAY THE SAME FOR MANY, MANY OLD ALTERNATIVE BANDS. THE CURE INCLUDED...


PS

ALSO:
JOY DIVISION ARE THE ONE THING
NEW ORDER ARE THE SECOND THING

YOU CAN'T JUST COMPARE THE TWO!!!

:smth011

THEY ARE BOTH GREAT IN THEIR OWN FEILD...
THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE FACT THAT MANY BANDS HAVE TWO OR THREE SEPARATE AND TOTALLY DIFFERENT STAGES IN THEIR CAREER AND YOU CANT JUST COMPARE THEM AND BE REALLY FAIR... (FOR EXAMPLE COMPARE PUBLIC IMAGE LTD FROM 1978, FROM 1983 AND FROM 1992 - THREE DIFFERENT BUT EVENLY GREAT BANDS!)

yes i agree. and actually i don't aim at comparing the two, although it might seem so.
i just don't find anything much interesting in new order (apart from a few individual tracks).
and thus it often makes me really disappointed, to see they utter musical regression after joy division was over. and i do not mean they became bad because they became different than joy division - it's actually a good thing that they didn't try to continue something exactly similar to joy division. that would have been the worst choice, probably. yet i just find they never find anything much to say afterwards. what little there is is destroyed by mr. sumner. he's really one of the most amazingly poor vocalists ever, i stand with this conviction. but that's just my opinion of course. so in any case i don't think it has to be anything dramatic here. if someone here likes them, that's fine. of course i'm not aiming at bashing people who like them, that's just all right with me of course.
i guess i just like to bash them because for me they seem to be totally irrelevant.
:)

honestly, i've tried to like them, or at least tried to follow their career. the last new order album i ever bought was 'get ready' which was a really  huuge disappointment for me, once again.

Fair point Janko (STILL SHOUTING  ;))
& my point was that there are some awesome NO songs around.
However, if you consider State Of The Nation & Shellshocked, you can't help but (well, I can't)reach for the remote to skip them or turn them off completely.
Yep, they are not & never will be JD & no-one else will be either (despite a few p!ss poor efforts to copy them), but you also have to ask yourself, how is it that 3 members of one of the best bands ever went on to produce the audio abomination that is Confusion?
Can't be that Curtis was the only person in JD with some sort of dignity surely!
That said, the Cure are also guilty of churning out crap (six different ways, close to me,the whole of wild mood swings) & they also desrve a good bashing from people who know just how good the cure can be if they tried.
NO should take note.
My motto is if you don't like it, don't listen to it, so I don't.

surely, bashing someone on and on accomplishes nothing and is no good food for conversation, i admit that.
anyway, that's pretty much what annoys me so much about NO: how come those guys ever managed it?

and so, i just gave 'low life' another chance (naturally skipping 'love vigilantes' altogether ;)).
'sunrise' isn't too bad as a song -- i'm sure i could like it if someone made a decent cover version of it. i guess with me it pretty much focuses on mr. sumner: that track is just an amazing example, i think. honestly, when i listen to 'sunrise' i can't help it but to imagine i'm listening to some funny gag-reel from last week's local 'idols' show, where some poor wanna-be-a-singer-no-matter-what kind of dude is trying to cover a song although he can't sing shit. that's honestly as bad as it sounds to me, mr. sumner's singing. and so i can never understand how it is possible that musicians like that didn't manage (or even want to try to manage) to find someone else to sing for them! to me it's almost like a bad joke that just keeps going on and on, year after year.
so actually, as long as they stay instrumental ('elegia') i can start to imagine what it all could have been -- yet as i proceed with the album and 'sooner than you think' hits in with its "hello, everyone, it's nice to be here..." and the illusion is smashed to pieces...
and then, the semi-disco-hell of 'sub-culture' follows with it's classic opening lines of "i like walking in the park...." -- no.... :(

ok ok sorry guys, i know i should go home and feel ashamed. but i'm not just writing all this in order to mindlessly bash-bash-bash some band. it honestly never ceases to puzzle me, how come they turned out like that. and although comparing JD and NO is pointless i do think there are fair reasons to ask those questions and maybe also discuss them a bit.

but in case a change of subject is preferred, currently:

"Oh Father", by Madonna. Yeah, I know. Madonna.

I heard a fragment of this song (well, and the video) many years (17, 18!?) ago, and actually liked it a lot. However, I never got the name of it. All I could remember was a little melody from it, and that there was snow in the video. And that it was an insanely sad song. Over the years I must have hummed that one line a zillion times over, hoping someone could tell me what it is. Nope.

I stayed in last night, cleaning and goofing around when the thought occurred to me - if there was a video, YouTube has it. And it did. And now the hunt is over. It was a single off of Like A Prayer, but I guess it was pretty obscure. It wasn't even on that Immaculate Hits collection.

The video, as it turns out, was directed by David Fincher (!!!). And is still more than a bit creepy.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=tU2Fv5eA1_g

Finally. A nearly 18-year mystery solved!!

Alright, I'm done talking about Madonna.

Quote from: japanesebaby on April 28, 2007, 15:48:26and so, i just gave 'low life' another chance (naturally skipping 'love vigilantes' altogether ;)).
'sunrise' isn't too bad as a song -- i'm sure i could like it if someone made a decent cover version of it. i guess with me it pretty much focuses on mr. sumner: that track is just an amazing example, i think. honestly, when i listen to 'sunrise' i can't help it but to imagine i'm listening to some funny gag-reel from last week's local 'idols' show, where some poor wanna-be-a-singer-no-matter-what kind of dude is trying to cover a song although he can't sing shit. that's honestly as bad as it sounds to me, mr. sumner's singing. and so i can never understand how it is possible that musicians like that didn't manage (or even want to try to manage) to find someone else to sing for them! to me it's almost like a bad joke that just keeps going on and on, year after year.

That's my problem with New Order too. The guy's voice just doesn't do it for me. It sounds really generic and uninspired to me. I actually like some of their music quite a bit, but then the voice just ruins in. I also think some of their lyrics are pretty dumb.


I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone



This is the guy's life ambition? And he's having trouble achieving it? :oops:

I quite like a few New Order songs, actually, quite a bit even.

True Faith
Regret
Bizarre Love Triangle
Blue Monday

But I consider them a pop band, and pop bands tend to put out their best songs as singles. It thus does not surprise me that I like best their singles. Though definitely not all of them.

You ever listened to the Live version of American Life from the "I'm Going To Tell You A Secret" dvd/cd?
I was very shocked when I first saw  it. It's actually brilliant.

"Oh Father", by Madonna. Yeah, I know. Madonna.

I heard a fragment of this song (well, and the video) many years (17, 18!?) ago, and actually liked it a lot. However, I never got the name of it. All I could remember was a little melody from it, and that there was snow in the video. And that it was an insanely sad song. Over the years I must have hummed that one line a zillion times over, hoping someone could tell me what it is. Nope.

I stayed in last night, cleaning and goofing around when the thought occurred to me - if there was a video, YouTube has it. And it did. And now the hunt is over. It was a single off of Like A Prayer, but I guess it was pretty obscure. It wasn't even on that Immaculate Hits collection.

The video, as it turns out, was directed by David Fincher (!!!). And is still more than a bit creepy.

Finally. A nearly 18-year mystery solved!!

Alright, I'm done talking about Madonna.



Nothing Wrong with Madonna.  I like quite a few of her songs.  Even caught her in concert many years back ('87 I think).

I THINK THE RAMONES CD'S SHOULD BE SOLD AT PHARMACY'S AS A 100% EFFECTIVE ANTIDEPRESSIVE...


MY FAVOURITE SONG:


DANNY SAYS

Danny says we gotta go
Gotta go to Idaho
But we can't go surfin'
'Cause it's 20 below

Sound check's at 5:02
Record stores and interviews
Oh, but I can't wait
To be with you tomorrow

Baby

Oho-ho-ho, we got nowhere to go
And it may sound funny, but it's true
Hangin' out in 100 B
Watching Get Smart on TV
Thinkin' about
You and me and you and me

Hangin' out in L.A.
And there's nowhere to go
It ain't Christmas if there ain't no snow
Listening to Sheena on the radio
Oh-ho oh-ho


THE ALBUM WAS PRODUCED BY PHIL SPECTOR, SO IT'S A BIT DIFFERENT THAT THE EARLY STUFF...
BUT ITS AMAZING!!!
I LOVE THE RAMONES!!!

i think it's pretty good.  :smth020


another random note in a hurry, considering MADONNA:
i'd say there's definitely something wrong with madonna these days. i was watching some live show in late night TV the other day (didn't catch when and where that was filmed but it was pretty recent show anyway) and i was just totally disappointed and bored and even annoyed to the point of not bothering to stay tuned very long at all. and i don't say that because i always disliked her, i really think she used to be much better. imho there are simply other people who put up similar kind of shows (if that's what one  chooses to be into) and do it much better - and most of all who are simply far better performers. what really annoys me and made it impossible to watch is a completel lack of class in her performance - and no i'm not asking for some pompous fake glamour or anything like that. if she wants to be an abba-ish disco queen then so be it but one could always do that with style too, why does it have to be so unclassy and cheap-ish? it's like the older she gets the younger she's trying to pretend she is, trying to pass for some thirteen-year old or something soon -- and i'm sorry, i'm just not buying it. let britney do the same and it's much more believable (and thus much more bearable in some ways, as much as i hate to say something like it!!).
and considering this, i really think madonna recent design collaboration with H&M says it all: those two seem suit to each other rather well these days, sadly. :roll:

(why do i always end up ranting in this thread, huh? sorry! ;))

I've been listening to a lot of MBV lately, as well. Mainly "Isn't Anything". Take away "No More Sorry" and you've got a killer record. Better than "Loveless", IMO.

As for Slowdive, I did dig out "Souvlaki" earlier this week. Great album as well. I need to pick up more...

Oh, and plenty of:

LEONARD COHEN - CHELSEA HOTEL No.2


Chelsea Hotel # 2


I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
you were talking so brave and so sweet,
giving me head on the unmade bed,
while the limousines wait in the street.

Those were the reasons and that was New York,
we were running for the money and the flesh.
And that was called love for the workers in song
probably still is for those of them left.
Ah but you got away, didn't you babe,
you just turned your back on the crowd,
you got away, I never once heard you say,
I need you, I don't need you,
I need you, I don't need you
and all of that jiving around.

I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
you were famous, your heart was a legend.
You told me again you preferred handsome men
but for me you would make an exception.
And clenching your fist for the ones like us
who are oppressed by the figures of beauty,
you fixed yourself, you said, "Well never mind,
we are ugly but we have the music."






Ah but you got away, didn't you babe,
you just turned your back on the crowd,
you got away, I never once heard you say,
I need you, I don't need you,
I need you, I don't need you
and all of that jiving around.

I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best,
I can't keep track of each fallen robin.
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
that's all, I don't even think of you that often.


ITS ABOUT LEONARD AND JANIS JOPLIN HAVING SEX AND A CHAT IN TE FAMOUS NEW YORK HOTEL

WELL, I GOT MY SONG OF THE SUMMER:



Tuesday Morning


BY: Spider Stacy


Too many sad days
Too many Tuesday mornings
I thought of you today
I wished it was yesterday morning
I thought of you today
I dreamt you were dressed in mourning

But I knew that you
WIth your heart beating
And your eyes shining
Would be dreaming of me
Lying with you
On a Tuesday morning

I fell through the window
And I found that I was still breathing
I thought of tomorrow
And the fear that you might leave me
I thought of tomorrow
And I wished it was Monday morning


Turn your face from me
And I will cover myself with sorrow
Bring hell down upon me
I will surrender my heart to sorrow
Bring hell down upon me
And I will say goodbye tomorrow




RIGHT NOW, MY THROAT HURTS BECAUSE I SCREAMED THE LYRICS ALL NIGHT LONG...
AND MY EYES ARE ALL REDDISH... FACE BLOATED...
WELL, BEDTIME FOR ME!

AH, "ONCE UPON A TIME" STARTS...

I'm walking in the city tonight
I'm walking in the city at dark
Remembering, remember light
Thinking of nothing, and the shooting stars
And this world tonight is mine
A world to be remembered in
Think on a faded photograph
My hair longer than its ever been
and then,the sky lit up
The sky, my friend
And I'm lighter than I've ever been
I saw the trees crossing the moon
I saw the stars in the Heaven above
Shine on my own beautiful prayer
Shining on my own beautiful love
The sky lit up
And I'm dancing with him
In this city and in this town
I don't care what he's thinking of
Just take the car, just take my hand
The sky lit up

I'M JUST ABOUT TO PLAY THE BEST SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES SONG EVER MADE

I CANT EXPLAIN JUST HOW MUCH I LOVE THE SONG
AND HOW MUCH I MISS THE BAND
AND IT MAKES ME CRY JUST HOW MUCH IT HURTS THAT THE BANSHEES ARE NO MORE

SO PLEASE:



RETURN

   
Wonder where that plane is leading to
Wonder where that boat will ever stop
Wonder if this path I am treading
Will disappear and let me drop

Down to a hell that's surely waiting
Down to the hell I know that I deserve
Even though the spirit is willing
The flesh is blackened to the deepest nerve

When will you learn
The hurting it will return
When will you ever learn
This feeling is all you can discern

Oh my heart it is so broken
More than waves upon the golden sand
Fly my love on wings of mute confusion
And never ever land

When will you learn
When will you ever learn
The hurting it will return
This feeling is all you can discern

When will you learn
When will you ever learn
This feeling is all you can discern
The hurting always will return

Return

My original intention with the thread was to take a peek into what everyone listens to when The Cure wasn't in their machines.
I've read some posts & though "I haven't heard that in ages" or "think I might give that a try".
Most of the time, the community here point me in some very interesting directions & I think that's kind of healthy from a musical standpoint.
So, I'll try to keep my PT posts to a minimum.

i agree, kate is great at her best! :smth023 definitely one of my favorite artists.
and just as long as you stay away from 'sensual world' (1989) and 'red shoes' (1993) you won't be disappointed with her. especially the latter one (red shoes) is simply horrendous...  :oops: i don't know what she was thinking there...  :roll: but i suppose she realized it herself too and sat down and reconsidered things since it took a long time up until 2005 for her to release anything new... but coming back with 'aerial' (2005) is pretty impressive return. it's a good double album. although i like the 70s/early 80s stuff more.

some of her early videos are really weird, like 'wuthering heights':

Currently my Ash/Bravery masters from 2005. Never got around to splitting them up, and trying my hand at EQ-ing them. Mixed sucess so far. Trying to translate my WinAmp EQ settings to Audacity/Rezound (Linux WAV editors), as I can get them to sound quite nice on my desktop. Just trying for the best sound for my car / home stereo now.

If I can get them tightened/brightened up enough, I foresee a DIME seed, as I've been sitting on them for a bit after not really finding any other tapers for that tour.

MAGENTA SKYCODE - probably the best music from finland at the moment.
some tracks from their first album can be listened here:

http://www.myspace.com/magentaskycode

check out 'red eyes' or the video link for 'people', for instance.

"finnish quintet magenta skycode sound like the cure re-imagined by phil spector, making the sort of anthemic goth-pop that the bravery might be able to pull off if they weren't such a bunch of irrepressible fools" (said by the great escape t-mobile guide)


from their official website:

Raving reviews in Finnish media and abroad have paralleled Magenta Skycode with the likes of Air, David Sylvian, The Cure, Kings of Convenience, The Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, Cocteau Twins etc. A more accurate comparison also would be early/present electronic movement. The songs of MS have an affectionate connection with songs of their peers. Indeed, "IIIII" is a masterpiece of its own â€" described well in Drowned in Sound as "a debut marked out by subtle, warm songwriting and hopeful spirit."

people:
jori sjöroos: voice, guitar, accordion, computer
tomi mäkilä: organ, synhesizer
niko kivikangas: drums, percussion
henry ojala: guitar
kalle taivainen: bass


ok not sure about the cure reference there hehe but i don't care, i just really like how their sound.

i'll be going to see them tomorrow night on a club gig - really looking forward to that! :smth023

Wow... I hope they come to the states (not likely, huh?). Neat stuff! I just checked out 'Red Eyes' and will have to check out the rest once I get home from work.

Not sure if I will be able to find the album around here, but luckily a friend from school was from Finland, and moved back there shortly after graduation. I'll have to drop him a line soon...

Following on the old punk wave, was listening to the Damned's "Machine Gun Etiquette" en route to work this morning. Awesome-ness.

(Still, "Strawberries" is my fave.)

I've also been listening to a lot of "Yacht Rock"-type stuff, putting together a mega-mix for a similarly-themed party on Saturday. Think Steely Dan, the Eagles (yeah, I hate 'em, but whatever), Christopher Cross, etc.

Or better, go to YouTube and watch the mini-series that inspired said party...

They do music for haunted houses, indie films, stuff like that. I bought a CD a while back at a HALLOWEEN shop (actually my dad bought it but it sounds cooler when I say I did) and it was the damned creepiest music I have ever heard...I can't imagine what the Midnight Syndicate movie will be like...

I'm listening to Reptile~Peter Murphy/Trent Reznor

i'm embarrassed to ask since i guess i really should know but where did they play that one together?
there's that killer radio session from chicago 2006 that they did together but i don't remember reptile being played there...

A radio session, they did in Boston, the same year.
Now listening to Dreams. again Peter Murphy/Trent Reznor~ radio sesssion, DC, '96


hey you have those in lossless? would be interesting stuff to listen to.
i really love that chicago 2006 session, they play JD only (dead souls/twenty-four hours/warsaw/atmosphere).  :smth020

The DC one includes Dreams,Bela Lugosi's Dead, and Final Solution.

I would love to hear the Chicago one.

i got that album shortly after it came out, as i found it somewhat interetsing in a first listening.
yet after second, third... i have to say i grew bored with it very soon. recently i tried to get re-interested byt listening to some live stuff but also fell out of interested there.
anyway, not a bad album but just wasn't my thing i guess.

yessss i got it! i called them on saturday and this nice girl on the phone tipped me that it might be good to call 8 o'clock sharp on monday morning (because tickets that were reserved last week but were maybe never cashed out will be put into re-sale first thing on monday BUT that these will not be shown on their website, they only sell them by phone).

so now i have tickets to both gigs, both in helsinki and tampere - yesyesyes!! (http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/party/party0006.gif) (http://www.mysmiley.net)

wow, ok hey let me know fast so there would be still hope to get you another ticket too! you see i didn't buy any extra ones yesterday for either shows since i really don't have friends who'd normally be interested in this sort of stuff.
anyway, i suppose arranging the accommodation would be a lot easier... ;)

A tip.
You don't need to upload the image to photobucket or imageshack. If it's available on say Amazon, then you can right click the pic & paste the properties into the insert image function here. Might save a bit of time for you.
Of course, if it's a pic that's not readily available on the net, then photobucket etc. is the way to go.

they only made two albums in the early 80s before breaking up...
their 2nd album 'peilitalossa' ("in the house of mirrors") is now available in re-issue, with 10 bonus tracks.  :smth023

ELO - "Out of the Blue" and "Time". The first is awesome, the second is grossly ignored/underrated.

I've also recently come across a band called Film School that I'm liking. They're coming to Boston in a few weeks, so I'm pretty psyched. Kinda MBV-like from the one track I've heard (called "Lectric" - check it out!). I have to pick up their album...

There's also been a string of other decent UK bands coming through Boston that I've seen lately: the Cinematics, the Klaxons, the Aliens (ex-Beta Band members), to name a few.

I've also got the new Ash album coming to me from the UK sometime this week, via a friend who's over there now... So technically I'm not currently listening to it, but it's only a matter of time, now. Ash = awesome.

it's been christmas here lately, since the band is playing three(!) consecutive nights here in helsinki is a rather small venue.
i've attended the first two gigs, today's the third. ahh it's been so good... i love these guys. and while they might often confuse even their biggest fans with what they do on their albums, they are always tight live, whatever it was they were playing.


i was hoping they would play 'VinterNoll2', although they never really play it anymore... but just for me...
and they did play it yesterdayyyyyyy :D :D :D

check out for VinterNoll2 & Musik Non Stop here:

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=168562507


and their fabled '747' - one of the best tracks ever if you ask me.
(unfortunately the english version which isn't quite on par with the original. anyway, musically it's the same):

Yesssss!!!! The whole album is great, but that song....It just gives me chills. I can't help but sing along with it, and of course I sound like a turkey being strangled -- how does she go that high?? :o

Very good song, always gets me nodding and bopping and moving and everything!

I love the beat in that one. Listened to The Cure last night while trying to sleep, found out that it was nearly impossible with there being so many awesome songs that make me want to dance. The one that can put me to sleep would be "HAPPY THE MAN" because it sounds like a rainforest.

For me it's All Cats Are Grey-- it doesn't exactly put me to sleep because I love it too much, but it does put me into a sort of stupor.... feeling sort of suspended in space...you know?

anyway gavin's awesome, certainly one of the best drummers around, one of my favorite musicians at the moment. (http://www.clubprotege.com/forum/images/smilies/bowdown.gif)
i'm totally captivated by his playing :shock:  - and listening to musicians like him.... uuuhmmm it makes me wish that the cure had bothered to auction someone like him back then in the 90s... aaaarrrggh. :roll: 
he's currently drumming with "maybe the best band on the planet right after that certain other band hmm well you know who i mean" Porcupine Tree (sorryyyyy caley...).

if you want to see gavin in action (really worth it imo), you should check out this dvd:

i searched youtube for some of the best clips from the dvd but of course they get removed all the time because of the copyrights...
all i could find now was 'Train's:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzlDr6aKEH4

unfortunately not so much gavin there on this track but otherwise worth watching. and some funny bits included: just watch around 4 minutes how steven breaks a guitar string on a really "great" moment - "we were doing SO well..."  :lol:

although it took me a weirdly long time to get it, i don't know why. i only just bought it a few days ago.  :oops:

i've always been into live videos/dvds (both official and nonofficial) but i admit that i quite rarely watch many of them all through on one single sitting - even the best ones i usually watch in several parts/in bits and pieces (maybe i lack some basic concentrational skills or something...). anyway, this one has made a strange exception: i've watched it all through on three days in a row now.... and that's just not at all normal for me. so all i can think of is that it must be pretty good, i suppose... but the musicianship on this performance is simply so exceptional, on all fronts.  :shock:

ps. i write in small letters so maybe caley doesn't notice...

Iam listening to Kate Miller-Heidke at moment, first time i heard this i hated it !!

Second time i saw this link on t.v. and was really amazed, around 1:27 her voice trips me totally and at the
end where she screams.

I find her very interesting, very different, interesting, hard to describe,
But i thought her like Cindy Lauper cross Kate Bush (and opera) when i first heard her.?  would like some feed back, what
you think, anyone ?

Iam not sure about the eccentuated accent, but i really love her bold type of singing, and her vocal range.
I havent heard all of her songs, but was captivated with this one.

I started a station for weirdish post-punk/goth/new wave bands like Sex Gang Children or Wall Of Voodoo, and now it's started playing completely random songs that don't even fit the category!!!

ronald McDonald, (clown suit) with the alice cooper make up, and then his neck exploded with black blood, ?

anyhoo  lol madness,  um funny stuff like the off-tap drumming though.  :smth023
but voices r easy to get sick of- with alot of vocalists, unless they can change alot. If you know what i mean. that guy
reminds me of trying to do a 'sexpistols' thing. `the voice i mean.   luv the music.

_hope didnt offend anyone, know stuff all about ASF, heard them a few times, ages ago., so, assumed an honest response
was wanted  :?  just noticed my karma went down suddenly, ahh fluck it, ehh still sounds how it sounds to me.  :twisted:

I used to love New Order.. i have their music videos form the 80's, but there are only a few songs I actually enjoy. they were so part of the music of the time. I must confess when I was a teenager, i had a poster of them on my wall, next to The Cure, duran duran Pseudo echo and the Eurythmics!!

Just pulled out a book of discs I haven't opened in probably 4 years.  A few disks have me puzzled and wondering wtf I was thinking spending money on such crap.  But then I happened upon my techno discs.  Okay, I'm not much into techno these days, but was really getting into it in 2000 or so while living in Korea.  So, lots of memories with some of these discs. 

First up is Robert Miles 'Dreamland'.  What a fantastic album!  If you enjoy melodic trance, do yourself a favor and check this album out.

If I had recorded that, then you would not be able to get the smile off my face for years.
I've just burnt to disc & have it blasting out on the B&W nautilus 805s right now.
Now that is a test of a recording, as it's a bit like putting a magnifying glass on it.
Still rocks big time. I am a happy bunny. Can't thank you enough & definitely a beer or 2 from me in Vienna in Feb. :smth023

I used to work for B&W, so these were freebies. :-D
Still a wonderful pair of speakers though & with 2 Aura PA 200 power amps driving them (1 for each speaker) & a Cambridge Audio pre amp, the end result is effectively the source & nothing else.

farinelli, il castrato .. the soundtrack to the movie.

Brilliant movie about the 'castrato's' in the 17th century Italian society.
Non-existant today,( castrato's),  the movie & soundtrack had to rely on reinventing a castrato's voice, using 2 opera singers. The original range for the castrato's voice was as much as three and a half octaves!!

Highly recommended viewing and listening to !! +++++AAAA

NEW MODEL ARMY
@ 2007-11-10 helsinki, nosturi


GET ME OUT

get up early every morning
just to put your make up on
the wardrobe's full of useless clothes
your winter coats are gone
the jackal pack is feeding
the motorway sweeps down
the council tries to bribe the rich
just to stay in town

get me out
get me out of this place
get me out of this trap
get me out of my brain

ysidro down to melbourne
the pressure starts to build
the bullets fly at random
when you least expect they will
everybody feels guilty
so anyone can pay
i'm just surprised it doesn't happen every bloody day

get me out...

so here come the nineties
the temperature is rising
i cannot seem to loose the stains
when I wash my hands
one world is rising
one world is dying
and one has got it's precious head
buried in the sand

get me out...




(something that describes my feeling tonight, as it's the final day of the holidays and it'll be back to work tomorrow morning.
aaahhh somebody please get me out of here...! :x)

You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what your saying
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain, you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb

Watched David Gilmour's "Remember That Night" DVD with my Dad recently, which he received as a Christmas gift from someone.  IMO it was just unbelievable!!!!  He had it cranked and the audio and visual quality of the DVD was outstanding!

Yeah, it's a cheeser of a music night  :P

other sad kermit "classics": the NIN covers ('hurt' and 'something i can't never have') are... i was going to say "funny" but maybe i'll quote his myspace description and say "excruciatingly painful"! :P

http://www.myspace.com/sadkermit


and he totally rapes cohen's 'hallejulah' - on some days it can be sort of hilarious but on some other days i can't help feeling kind of deeply offended by that kermit version. just because jeff buckley's version is one of those songs i feel very very emotionally attached to.

so if you might feel the need to wipe the green frog-slime off your face, go to purify yourself and listen to jeff's version here:

http://www.myspace.com/jeffbuckley

jeff was awesome. there's an artist i can say i do miss a lot. :cry:


i heard there was a secret chord
that david played and it pleased the lord
but you don't really care for music, do you
well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
the minor fall and the major lift
the baffled king composing hallelujah

hallelujah...

well your faith was strong but you needed proof
you saw her bathing on the roof
her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
she tied you to her kitchen chair
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
and from your lips she drew the hallelujah

hallelujah...

baby i've been here before
i've seen this room and i've walked this floor
i used to live alone before i knew you
i've seen your flag on the marble arch
but love is not a victory march
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

hallelujah...

well there was a time when you let me know
what's really going on below
but now you never show that to me do you
but remember when i moved in you
and the holy dove was moving too
and every breath we drew was hallelujah

well, maybe there's a god above
but all i've ever learned from love
was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
it's not a cry that you hear at night
it's not somebody who's seen the light
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

hallelujah...

in FLAC :!:

Armed with a wilful disregard for all the usual musical trappings, the pair aim to create music that is truly unique yet open and accessible to all.
With influences ranging from the best in modern experimental, post-rock and drone music such as Boards Of Canada, Explosions In The e Sky, Godspeed You Black Emperor!, vidnaObmana, Bass Communion and Aphex Twin through to the forefathers of ambient and electronica including Robert Fripp, Neu!, Tangerine Dream and Pink Floyd, whilst taking many shades of prog, kraut and rock along the way, the breadth and scope of the band is broad and eclectic.

luckily finland is further away...  :-D

i never understood the "holiness" of the beatles. i had a music teacher in high school who stuffed beatles down ours throats all the time, made us sing 'michelle' and 'in my life' over and over again, every lesson, every year so i seem to recollect. if we watched something from tv we watched some beatles documentary. if we played some band stuff we had to play 'obladi oblada'... etc. etc.
dear god he just made me hate the beatles. (actually i wouldn't be surprised if he did made the whole class hate the beatles. :smth023)

but maybe i should actually thank him for it, because i can now dislike them without any regrets - i simply don't like most of their music, nor do i think it's really THAT amazing, composition-wise.
hugely overrated imo. maybe they achieved something as a group (well, of course they did - i'm not saying it's the worst group ever or anything). but especially some solo stuff of their former members... i mean things like that 'liverpool "oratorio"' by paul mccartney - dear lord, that's just plain embarrassing. :oops: it's just so poor. sorry but imo people should stick to they own field, onto something they know something about and not think they can do just about anything just because they happened to have been knighted or something. :roll:

well, now I am going to put MY 2 cents worth in re the BEATLES...my older siblings loved them, and I was so happy to have their music around me when I was young...and yeah, so WHAT if some of their lyrics aren't full of soul-filled meaning...you know, when I hear their music, it takes me back to a much safer and happier world, where music didn't drive people to slit their throats or those of others... where I could play in the street without fear of being taken by a sexual deviate...where people actually SMILED at each other, and neighbours would hang over the fence for a chat..where people could travel overseas without the fear of being slain by terrorists...  the Beatles were excellent, for those of us who grew up with them... and we remember them with happiness... not just for their music, but for the world they, and we, were a part of..

I realize the discussion is over, but since I was one of the instigators I'd just like to wrap it up by saying that I agree with the fact that they've been sanctified and made into something bigger than they actually were -- I don't have a Beatles shrine in my house, but I love their music, that's all. (The solo stuff I don't like either, jb, with very few exceptions.)

Now, they're not really something I'd listen to normally, but for some reason I really dig their music, even the fluffier stuff. It's got a kind of creepy vibe to some of it, almost "too happy"...very cute and dreamy.

They only released one album, but they are just the right kind of quirky to catch my attention!

Check them out: Here's Strawberry Switchblade with the song "LET HER GO". Watch their odd movements and poses! lol...

THAT HAS GOT TO BE ONE OF MY FAAAAAAAAVORITE Siouxsie song!!!
I love the guitar and basslines, and the way her voice echoes "isreal...isreal..." at the beginning...vibes galore.

Right now I just listened to something happy and poppy to cheer me up, New Radicals' "You Get What You Give".

I love the lyrics, "Don't give up, you've got a reason to live." There's something I needed to hear. It's not the kind of stuff I usually listen to, but since its such a lonely hum-drum day, I thought I should spruce things up a bit with an old favorite from my childhood. :D


NOW listening to "Bela Lugosi's Dead"...cliche, eh? But I still really love it, and I still feel really ominous listening to it. I wish they had a 30-minute cut, that way I could put it on a loop and it would serve me as ambience in my room... 8)

Brilliant song! I play it through pocket speakers at school to confuse and alienate people. Its amazing how much this song upsets RnB lovers

Love it. Although 'Spellbound' is my personal favourite Siouxsie and The Banshees song, hey do you have Downside Up (the 4-disc box of B-Sides?) It's well worth it. There are so many great tracks on there.

Oh, Bela Lugosi's Dead is thrilling! After all these years it still can send shivers down spines. I also have the Nouvelle Vague cover, check it out if you haven't already. Nouvelle Vague also do a cover of The Cure's 'A Forest'.  :smth020

Amoeba is the result of a multi-decade collaboration between ambient composer Robert Rich and multi-instrumentalist Rick Davies.

Cyndi holds bad memories for me.
I used to have my NAD3020 amp beside my bed & every night I'd put all my loose change on top of it.
My (then) GF decided one evening to play She's So Unusual & I thought it was too quiet.
So being a man (ie. very stupid) I turned it up to max & there was a flash & a smoke plume from the amp & then.....silence.
6pence in copper coins had dropped in through the vent & shorted the thing out :shock:
Cost me 80 quid to fix it. :evil:
Time After Time still gets me though (but that was another GF....)

I was jamming out to some CRASS (even though I don't agree with their statements much...) and I really like their style. It's really fun stuff, to pogo-around to, it's like the definition of punk rock for me (what I think of in my head when I hear the words "Punk"...that fast, upbeat stuff with the thick british vocals)

I actually might like them better than The Clash, and it was the tune "BATA MOTEL" from their album PENIS ENVY that sold me...Such power! :rocker

"I've got 54321,
I've got a red pair of high-heels on,
Tumble me over, it doesn't take much,
Tumble me over, tumble me, push!

Great, just great. 8)

The track I'm listening to right now: New Day! The way he screams "new day" to the music hits home every time. It's a whole story of agony wrapped in two words...hard to explain. Just listen.

I don't know a lot of these bands either and I'm only 25, I guess it depends where you live and what you have access to. Although iTunes is helping a lot of people discover new bands with their iStore. Check out 'The Daysleepers'. They are an incredible new band from New York who are so dreamy and addictive. Their myspace page has a free song to download and about 6 to listen to. And they have two EP's available on iTunes. I seem to be into a lot of shoegaze music at the moment... think Mazzy Star, Cocteau Twins, My Bloody Valentine, Thrushes, Celebration, Alcian Blue... check out my myspace page at
www.myspace.com/idontblameyou
have a look at my top friends who are bands and see if you like them! They all have songs to listen to :)

very impressive tigermilk! Thanks for that, I have listened to a couple of tracks from some of the artists you have there...excellent! I'll listen to more when I have a little more time up my sleeve, but really likes some of them!
Now, without trying to appear too daft...what is "shoegaze" music?? It conjures up staring at ones feet whilst dancing..?? 
Title: Re: Currently Listening to
Post by: tigermilk on April 27, 2008, 06:26:32
The name was coined in a review in "Sounds" of a concert that the singer read lyrics taped to the floor throughout the gig. The term was picked up by the New Musical Express, who used it as a reference to the tendency of the bands' guitarists to stare at their feet (or their effects pedals, these pedals create the reverb and distortion sounds), seemingly deep in concentration, while playing. Melody Maker preferred the more staid term The Scene That Celebrates Itself, referring to the habit which the bands had of attending gigs of other shoegazing bands, and often moonlighting in each other's bands. The shoegazing sound featured extensive use of guitar effects, and indistinguishable vocal melodies that blended into the creative noise of the guitars. Common musical elements in shoegazing are distortion (aka "fuzzbox"), droning riffs and a "wall of sound" from noisy guitars. Typically, two distorted rhythm guitars are played together to give an amorphous quality to the sound. Another part of shoegaze was "Dream pop". It was a more ambient and abstract take on folk and pop music. It was pioneered by Cocteau Twins (who are my second favourite all-time band after The Cure) and This Mortal Coil, who took advantages of the improvements in studio technology in the previous decades to create a new strain of pop music with a hazy, ethereal sound. Dream Pop proved to be highly influential on the shoegazing scene that emerged in the early nineties, and certain acts straddle the two styles, though shoegaze can be distinguished by its noisier, psychedelic sound. I can send you some mix CDs if you'd like?

Yeah, thanks a bunch tigermilk! I've been wondering about shoegazing, thought it might have something to do with shy, eccentric indie bands wanting to come off as asocial outsiders (I love indie bands, don't get me wrong)....

they'll be playing two festivals here in july/august and i'll surely be there.

the new album is pretty good, although i'm more into the older stuff like 'isola'.
but the new songs translated very well live, even better than i expected, actually.

Where the flowers grew and the sun shone still
Now I'm darker than the deepest sea
Just hand me down, give me a place to be

And I was strong, strong in the sun

jeff was awesome - one of the most magical ethereal voices out there... *sigh*

one my biggest regrets is that i never saw him live.


I've never been a huge fan (my husband is), but that song is fantastic. I spent a whole summer listening to it over and over again, obsessively.

i never really got them earlier, although i tried a few times. but just went to see them on a festival last weekend and that was a revelation.
they played as the last band of a two-day festival and i was already on the verge of hypothermia since the weather was just complete crap and we'd been standing in wind and rain for two days, with temperatures barely 15 C (which is/was seriously unnaturally autumn-ish, considering it's only the beginning of august!).
but nevermind the weather, these guys really saved the day. :smth035

Agreed there. Although probably I don't like the Floyd enough to be called a fan. Anyway, except for 'Wish You Were Here', I think I like more or less most of their stuff until 'The Final Cut'. Although even in that period they could be really boring, sometimes. By the way, my favourite Floyd track is probably "Atom Heart Mother", that 23 minute rock+classical+avantgarde thing from 1970. It could be called "pretentious", "over-ambitious" or something like that, but I think they do an admirable job there.. A truly haunting song.

talking about pink floyd, does anyone have this?:

http://www.play.com/Music/CD/4-/3511313/Oh-By-the-Way/Product.html

i'd be mainly curious to know if the verison in the boxset are the same remastered editions as the ones that have been released individually, or something else?
it's just that i'm pretty hesitant to buy ANY emastered editions anymore, because of the fear of getting some volume destroyed crap - i'd rather stick to old vinyls that upgrade (read: downgrade) them for badly remastered cd editions.

not that pink floyd should be the first band out there with whom one should fear utter remastering catastrophy. one would like to believe it's well done job. but i've lost my faith in trusting the band's name & (old) reputation in this matter (mainly thanks to the cure's recent releases).
so any info would be welcome.

well in some cases i do like the idea of 'complete works': to have everything in one box in case you might need it, instead of having piles of individual discs/vinyls.
and perhaps with some bands i think it's reasonable to own the complete output just for some self-educational purposes/for one's personal archives, even though part of it was not in one's top 5 (or top 50, or top -50...).

OK, I can understand that practical kind of argument. That way, if there is a fire in the house, for instance, you can just grab the box and run away with it, instead of having to run though the whole collection to decide which 3 albums are your favourites... ;) :-D

ANIMALS is a very weak album.

It was made from cca. 1972 outtakes, and it just doesn't work musically or conceptually...

The band was in a bad form and the record is rightfully forgotten!

Yes, i think they are mediocre. Too radio-friendly and lacking in real new ideas... And I do think Roger Waters was the main driving force behind the Floyd, when he left the band lost its edge (or whatever had remained of it by that time). Anyway, it's not that Waters' solo albums are masterpieces (at least not the first two), so maybe if he had continued with the band things wouldn't be much better...

great work from temple and recommended watching for anyone even if one wasn't into the clash/strummer at all. the variety of footage is really abundant and the documentary really captures certain spirit of certain time and place.

Well, I don't think it's hilarious. Curious, maybe. But I don't think there is any sort of general consensus that 'Pros and Cons" is a masterpiece or anything like it. And the same goes for those two Guilmour-era Floyd albums... So, I don't think I'm blaspheming here, or anything.  ;)

Anyway, I want to add a few thoughts to what I've said before.
There are a few good thinks about late Floyd and solo Waters: I like the concepts, the care they have in devising this whole story to bring together all the songs in a coherent whole. That's been a Floyd feature for a long long time now and that is a quality that I think they didn't lose.
Also, a few of the songs on those albums are good. Or at least parts of the songs. For instance, "Learning to fly" might be a commercial mainstream pop/rock song devised for radio play, but I cannot deny that the chorus has remained in my head since I heard it for the first time, and from time to time I find myself "singing" it in my mind. And I could give other examples of this kind (I would have to check them again first, though, since I haven't heard the in a long time...)

However, I also think that this latter music from Floyd and Waters lacks the power and inventiveness of their best years. They have just become mainstream stadium rock acts, with nothing new to add to the musical world. Also, I think that David Guilmour's solos stink! I mean it! That guitar tone and playing are truly annoying. He was already boring in the "Wish You Were Here" days and he surely hasn't got any better since...

One last thing: I haven't heard "Amused to Death" and I've read somewhere that it is considered by some fans as Roger Waters' best solo album. So I might be missing something here.

What can I say, I'll take Animals (or Ummagumma, or More, or Meddle) over Momentary Lapse anyday. MLOR does nothing for me. It never surprises me. I don't know Division Bell enough to express an opinion.

jeff buckley: 'i know it's over' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PL5s6C4c3y8)
(the smiths cover)

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
And as I climb into an empty bed
Oh well. Enough said.
I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Oh ...
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
See, the sea wants to take me
The knife wants to slit me
Do you think you can help me ?
Sad veiled bride, please be happy
Handsome groom, give her room
Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
(Though she needs you
More than she loves you)
And I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Over and over and over and over
Over and over, la ...
I know it's over
And it never really began
But in my heart it was so real
And you even spoke to me, and said :
"If you're so funny
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
And if you're so clever
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very entertaining
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very good-looking
Why do you sleep alone tonight ?
I know ...
'Cause tonight is just like any other night
That's why you're on your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms
While they're in each other's arms..."

It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle and kind
Over, over, over, over
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes guts to be gentle and kind
Over, over
Love is Natural and Real
But not for you, my love
Not tonight, my love
Love is Natural and Real
But not for such as you and I, my love
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my ...
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can even feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my ...

madonna is surely the best of the three, but sometimes "best" still doesn't mean "very good" - depends on the company! ;)

Well, I've heard about Reverend Bizarre before, it's the kind of metal band that actually seems to be available on record shops. I haven't checked their sound before, though (that sample you posted here is a bit short). However, i had no idea they were Finnish...

Those are 2 completely different songs by Moon Prophet you posted here. It sounds like 2 different bands!  :shock: One of them is really jazzy ("Kovin lentaen kotiin kaipan"), with a really cool electric piano solo there in the middle. I like it.  ;) The other one has a good trippy rock (?) motive but it would probably take some time from me to like those vocals. Still, I don't hate them, and that's a not-so-bad start, I suppose.

By the way, I really like the guitar playing on Ratto_ja_Lehtisalo_-_Soihdut_Nostakaa (I suppose Ratto_ja_Lehtisalo is the band name and Soihdut_Nost is the song...?  :-D ).
Fluid and kind of spacey - again, there's a clear jazz thing on this one.

that's true: actually you never know what they do next, what to expect from them. they've done some projects which are closer to some kind of experimental classical music (like on the album 'hymyilevien laivojen satama' = "harbour of smiling ships"). so it can be anything between jazz, folk, progressive rock, classical... they also do performance kind of stuff, and their website is full or writings, art... everything really. i suppose they are truly weird "renessaince people" in that way.

not quite. i think it should actually be 'lyhtykuja: loppu' (like here:
http://www.last.fm/music/Kuusumun+Profeetta/_/Lyhtykuja:+loppu)
'lyhtykuja' means something like "the lane of lanterns" and 'loppu' is just "(the) end".

They are awesome.
But only first 3-4 albums are post punk/dark/new wave.
In later years they went a bit pop...

I had already visited that Circle's site... Took the opportunity to check a couple more songs - I like it. All 4 songs displayed there are done in a repetitive style, but in a way that sounds good to me.

I'll tell you one thing: a band that call themselves 'teemu elon puhuvat eläimet' are certainly not planning on having an international career any time soon...  :-D I also liked both songs on that site - and liked the singer's voice, although he is not a great singer. I'm not a fan, though, of the vocal "effects" on the chorus of the first song, and it also appears to me that there are a few things in their music that sound a bit too retro (for instance: those harmony choir voices at the end of the second song).

Varjo (http://www.myspace.com/varjoyhtye)  (= "shadow")

influences: Cocteau Twins, Bauhaus, The Cure, Brian Eno, Joy Division, Killing Joke, New Order, Slowdive, The Church, Danse Society, Stina Nordenstam, Pj Harvey and many more

but so much bad news lately: the guitarist of Varjo died abruptly in a fire in his home, not very long ago. and just a few weeks before they were supposed to start recording their forth album in october.
the last track he contributed on, 'olet ehkä kuollut', is available for listening on the band's myspace.
ironically, the title of the song means "perhaps you're dead".
a pity. this was a good band and a person that will be widely missed in the local music life.

that's true, he's really great but not very often that much recognized.
i was quite interested to hear him re-join the minds in the late 90s. too bad he didn't get good enough songs to play there.

I'm afraid I don't like Zappa's version. It's got some of those gimmicks (including a tasteless keyboard solo) that he seems to be so adept of and that have never done anything for me.

I like Reijo Taipale's version, though. It has an old time feeling that I find suggestive.

i agree, it's best with the old time feeling. one cannot surpass that with any gimmicks.

I didn't know that group until now. They are among the pioneers of electronica/industrial, it seems... I find the combination of electronics with string instruments quite interesting and the videos (specially the official one) are good too. I'm just not a fan of the girl's voice... That kind of "operatic" vocals does not much for me.

Taking on the industrial cue, here is probably my favourite band ever, Einstuerzende Neubauten:

Some dark stuff there...


Now listening to:

Virgin Prunes, a weird bunch. As read on wikipedia:

The band consisted of childhood friends of U2's Bono and The Edge. Lypton Village was a "youthful gang" created by Bono, Guggi (Derek Rowan) and Gavin Friday (Fionan Hanvey) in the early 70s, where every member got a new identity and where they could escape from dreary and predictable Dublin life and be anything they wanted to be. It was both lead singers Friday and Guggi who first gave a teenaged Paul Hewson his alter-ego and world-famous moniker "Bono Vox of O'Connell Street," later simply "Bono."


"Jigsaw Mentalama" (a haunting experimental instrumental song)

"Pagan Lovesong" (a post-punk classic)

CLT: Place To Be

When I was younger, younger than before
I never saw the truth hanging from the door
And now I'm older see it face to face
And now I'm older gotta get up clean the place

And I was green, greener than the hill
Where the flowers grew and the sun shone still
Now I'm darker than the deepest sea
Just hand me down, give me a place to be

And I was strong, strong in the sun
I thought I'd see when day is done
Now I'm weaker than the palest blue
Oh, so weak in this need for you



Beautiful album. "Five Leaves Left" also. Drake's music is something of a hidden treasure, maybe because it is so understated.

one of albsolutely favorite tracks.

i never really got them earlier, although i tried a few times. but just went to see them on a festival last weekend and that was a revelation.
they played as the last band of a two-day festival and i was already on the verge of hypothermia since the weather was just complete crap and we'd been standing in wind and rain for two days, with temperatures barely 15 C (which is/was seriously unnaturally autumn-ish, considering it's only the beginning of august!).
but nevermind the weather, these guys really saved the day. :smth035

ps. by the way great sound on the opeth albums: the sleeve notes day "produced by steven wilson", that explains it. :smth023 old bob should really do all in his power to hire that guy...


Ha, great to see an Opeth thumbs-up post in here.  ;) Great music and very well produced, I agree. Even though it was already great on both fronts before Steven Wilson started working with them.

Are Opeth the best metal band nowadays? That would be an interesting thing to debate...

And I read somewhere that Robert really likes the song "Time Has Told Me". He said "perhaps it's where we got our name from?" because he says the word "cure" in the lyrics. I believe he says this on iTunes Celebrity Playlist on the Australian iTunes.

disco inferno has to be my latest re-discovery of this year --- well, i never stopped listening to them anyway.
please don't be fooled by the band's name ;)
i discovered this year some outtakes from their last album, technicolour (the previous one was called D.I. go pop, but again, don't be etc).
boring sentence to be sure, but this has to be one of the most underrated bands ever. what they did to "pop" structures (in a very general sense : here, the influences are more directly post-punk), with their unique use of samples of everything (polaroids, children singing, flute playing, waves, whatever), was inconceivable back then (not per se, of course, but all mixed up like this it was), and still remains.
the melodies, the guitar & bass, the vocals - well, hear for yourself.

that's not what i meant. of course there's nothing wrong with that. i myself do listen to everything from 7th century early mediaval church music onwards, so there we go...
i guess i'm just surprised that you'd pick INXS. i always thought they were a very good example of how a good-looking/charismatic frontman can make people forget and forgive the lack of (any exceptional) musical content. they were amazingly popular in the late 80's/early 90's still, but i seriously think they'd never get there without mr hutchence's appearances.
it's not the worst band ever but certainly very shallow one, musically, imo.

i remember seeing a mash-up of britney spears's 'baby one more time' and INXS' 'elegantly wasted' on mtv a couple of years ago. it seemed to work very well - by "well" i mean you actually didn't get the usual "hey wt...?" kind of feeling that you're supposed to get with mash-ups. it just fitted so well together (imo, just because both artists are actually just as shallow) that it could have been one song.
(too bad i don't seem to be able to find a youtube link for it).

To be honest I didnt know how the singer or band looked like until last year when I purchased the "best of". My first contact was "suicide blonde" in 1993 in the radio, so just audio.

I liked the music, it made me happy, and that's all what counts for me. Don't know about the rest.

But certanly they're not my favourite aussie band. Those are "The Church" :smth023

I think they fit together well because that's a "sexy" (I dont know how to say it) INXS song, with a sexy video from Britney Spears. I dont think the reason is the "shalloweness" or not of the music.

Lilly Allen and The Cure mashup (Lullaby). To me they fit well, and I don't think anyone here is going to say Lullaby is shallow, isn't?

yes but that's not what i tried to say. with that lilly allen & the cure mash-up you do get that "hey wt* is this?  :smth017 :oops: :P" kind of feeling, it's because the artists are so different, their themes so different. i'd even say that even if you didn't really know either one of the artists too well, you still get an idea of two very different "worlds" colliding.
with inxs & britney mash-up you don't get any of that: it could just as well be one and the same song (which means it's actually pretty boring mash-up. anyway). yes, both do have sexy videos but that only enhances the whole point: both are based (solely) on that (=on having sexy videos). take either one and remove that sexy video and neither one has any musical depth of its own.
therefore, it's really shallow stuff.

I respect your opinion baby, altought I don't agree. INXS has too many good songs. I don't think mediocre bands can make that. And I don't think their sucess was mainly because Hutchence's look.

If we want to talk about bands/artists who are driven by the look, we have plenty of examples like "The New Kids on the Block", "The Back Street Boys", etc.

But I think INXS deserves better :)

I bought it from iTunes yesterday. I'm not sure of any sample sites. You could see if it's on your iTunes to listen to a sample. I have seen it on a few blogs for download... if you want the link let me know. Or I can send you a few tracks from the album if you'd like to preview it...

I was noticing all of these bands making the rounds in South America and hitting Lime.  Sorry you missed them.  I recently saw Jesus and Mary Chain in Seattle.  An okay show.  It was short and plagued with sound problems, but still a lot of fun.  Oh, that reminds me, I need to check my audio from that gig.   :smth020

Suede "Trash" (1996)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jBVePVwSpg

Oh maybe, maybe it's the clothes we wear,
The tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair,
Maybe it's our kookiness,
Oh maybe, maybe it's our nowhere towns,
Our nothing places and our cellophane sounds,
Maybe it's our looseness,

But we're trash, you and me,
We're the litter on the breeze,
We're the lovers on the streets,
Just trash, me and you,
It's in everything we do,
It's in everything we do...

Oh maybe, maybe it's the things we say,
The words we've heard and the music we play,
Maybe it's our cheapness,
Or maybe, maybe it's the times we've had,
The lazy days and the crazes and the fads,
Maybe it's our sweetness,

But we're trash, you and me,
We're the litter on the breeze,
We're the lovers on the street,
Just trash, me and you,
It's in everything we do,
It's in everything we do...

Wheel in the Sky (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGbVoDVWZsc) Probably my favorite Journey song. 

i remember reading someone saying (on some youtube comments) how the strange thing about journey songs is that sometimes you don't relaly like some of them and/or they seem to belong to a genre that you're not "supposed to like", but then after a while you just notice that you absolutely love them nevertheless, no matter what. 'wheel in the sky' is a perfect example of such a song for me. when i heard it for a couple of first times i think part of my brain used to tell me i didn't like it - but there's just such musicality in the performance/in the songwriting itself that i simply love it.

this is great: Mother, father (live) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlFVc7qDUog&fmt=18)

(by the way for the longest time i believed the melody around 5:10-> was played with synth/keyboards but it's not, it's a vocal falsetto!)

Neil always puts on a great show, be it solo, with Crazy Horse, Pearl Jam, or some hand-picked musicians.  It is a shame you had to pass  :(  But yes, his ticket prices were crazy high this tour.  I went to a show on the first leg, splurged on got a close seat.  He just came back through, but I opted to sit that one out due to the costly tickets.  Looked to be a fantastic gig.

(I'd put the links for both recordings up on dime only the site is down). 


One of these days I'll get my ass to a Bridge School Benefit show.  Good cause, good tunes, and always a stellar list of musicians.

for me, it's always been the most contradictory DM album. meaning that i've always wanted to like it more than i've actually been able to. if that makes any sense... anyway, it's probably because it has some tracks like 'walking in my shoes' which are without a doubt among the best they ever did - but then it gets followed by something like 'condemnation' which is just god-awfully... awful song.

i love this one too:

My old car keeps breaking down
My new car ain't from Japan
There's already too many Datsuns
In this town.
Another thing that's bugging me
Is this commercial on TV
Says that Detroit can't make good cars any more.
Motor City.
Who's driving my car?
Who's driving my car now?
Who?

My army jeep is still alive
Got locking hubs and four wheel drive
Ain't got no radio, ain't got no mag wheels
Ain't got no digital clock
Ain't got no clock.
The paint job is lookin' blue
The white walls are missing too
But I guess until I get my car back
This will do.
Who's driving my car now?
Who's driving my car now?
Who?
Who's driving my car now?

Synclavier Systems were expensive - the highest price ever paid for one was about $500,000, although average systems were closer to about $200,000 - $300,000.

So true, Mr. Young!  If they could and scaled down their lines/brands as the Japanese have done, perhaps the Big 3 automakers wouldn't be in the situation they've found themselves in.

Sorry for vearing.  It's the recession...

Indochine - Troisieme Sexe

I remember very well this song. Indochine was very famous in Peru and they gave in 1988 4 sold-out concerts in Lima in a similar place like the Paris Bercy (so, like 15 000 - 20 000 each date). It was the only southamerican country were they played in.

This is their most famous song. I guess many peruvians didn't understand a word of what he was saying. I am glad that, 20 years later, I can recognize most of the parts of the songs :P Enjoy!

White Lies To Lose My Life (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HoURg_JUgI&feature=channel)

Reminds of of She Wants Revenge and The Bravery.  Of course we know who those bands were influenced by  ;)  A much better quality video can been viewed on the band's MySpace page - http://www.myspace.com/whitelies

Oh yeah, it looks like these guys will be supporting The Cure in London this February.

Has anybody seen these guys live?  I'm curious how their show is.  Some upcoming Euro dates are also on their MySpace.

Oh I never saw them live but i have some music with most of the outcomes from Bauhaus including Dalis Car, Tones on Tail, Love and Rockets, The Sinister Ducks and ofcourse Peter Murphy.

It´s great when you came that close to the bands at a concert. I saw Naked Prey at a tiny venue in Norrköping (Sweden) once. We practically sat on the stage (and stole the setlist) and just asked the band for songs. They played and we sang in there with them. Afterward we partied with the band.

One of my favorite videos is Lagartija Nick from the Archive VHS.

Quote from: Sussex on January 15, 2009, 08:57:12Mogwai - 2 Rights Make 1 Wrong

Am I the only one who thinks this song sounds an awful lot like "Breathe" by The Cure? Sure, it's not exactly the same — but there are some eerie similarities, aside from the basic chord progression being the same and such.

Really, I think one could almost sing the lyrics to "Breathe" right over it.

Here's a good version from YouTube:

This version is better quality, but the instrumentation is a bit different:

A very sad song, in my opinion.

to me 'temptation' is just a cheap re-make/rip-off of a certain joy division song. :roll: they just speeded it up (and added less intelligent/interesting lyrics, as it always goes with new order).
never cared about new order - and like i might have said elsewhere, sumner's "singing" makes me want to tear my hair... i respect his input and all he contributed in JD, but as a singer he simply is totally talentless.

i don't mind if people like new order, that's fine. i've no problem with that, nor am i trying to make people agree with me or whatever. none of that.
i was just voicing a personal opinion (because i thought it might be food for conversation), nothing more.
(i don't know why people should only post if they agree about something, and why posting a different/opposite opinion should be seen as a mere complaint/trying to start an argument or something. because i was not intending either one.)

You might be right. And maybe Blue Monday is a little bit of a theft from A Forest. But I kinda like New Order anyway. But it is like it is with taste in music. It´s personal and one kinda like to think that ones own taste is immaculate and flawless. But naturally I didn´t think for one moment that You critizised our liking in NO.

I find that song awesome. This is one of the songs I listened in loop (maybe like 30 or 40 times yesterday). I think is the greatest new order song and love the line "I think tonight I walk alone, find my soul go back home"

I have to disagree about the "uninteresting lyrics" lyrics thing. No way this can be "less intelligent"?:

"I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain of my wounded heart" (Regret)

Sure JD had influenced many bands, but personally I never liked Ian's voice. Love the drums, the bass, the guitarrs (of course, lyrics too). Still, I prefer the voice of Bernard, and the sound of this awesome band, New Order :)

Well, in music people will never agree, so that's just my view :D

uuuhh no offense david but seriously, are you sure you were not trying to pick one of the most embarrassing pieces of NO lyrics there? :eek:

(i have to agree with caley there)

i do think those "telephone" lyrics are almost too embarrassing/unintelligent to be true, to have been written by someone in a serious manner (especially someone who's a native english speaker).


sumner simply cannot sing. i know some other singers who actually sing out of tune a lot of times but they still sound great and charismatic etc. - so it's that i'm bothered by him missing a note here or there. but in fact, he's missing most of the notes all the time and in a pretty dreadful fashion, and in the end his out-of-tuneishness and constant wobblyness is real pain. he simply cannot control his voice, his vocal parts are full of uncontrollable bumps and shifts that no singer should get away with. for a life of me i cannot understand why they didn't get a proper singer.
(and by the way, i'm not a huge JD fan either so it's not an JD vs. NO thing for me. NO is just such an amazing combination of great potential ruined by an amateurish vocalist crooning over it all that i've always found it almost shocking.)

Do lyrics need to be complex in order to be good? I just see it as someone who wants to have a simple life, maybe someone who does not worry about important things. That song makes me happy and that's all what counts for me :)

i didn't say the lyrics for 'regret' are crap lyrics because they talk about having a simple life. and neither did i say anything about complex lyrics in general being better than others (or complex subjects). simplicity is beautiful, true - but there is simplicity and simplicity.
the lyrics for 'regret' are simply quite clumsy and the imagery used to describe this simple life is a bit too... simple (but that doesn't mean the idea to describe simple life was dumb - it's not). i mean, "have a conversation on a telephone" - i think it's fair to expect a little bit more effort from whoever it was putting those lyrics together.
that clumsiness make them sound like an unintentional joke and i cannot take them seriously anymore.

That's why the world is great, because you think that way, and lot of NO fans think otherwise. That's rich about humankind, that we can always have our point of view, and "having a conversation in the telephone" can be so meaningful as a J.P. Sartre phrasre, depending the context, and of course, depending the reader/listener ;)

just for the record, i wasn't comparing NO lyrics to sartre or any other literature.
so i am not trying to come across with a message that some "hi-class" literature is always more valuable than something less so. if that's what you are trying to say.

I was trying to remember Caley's comments about those lines from 'Regret'.

While they certainly are not great lyrics, I've always looked at them as someone who doesn't want to live the in the spot light.  Like David put it,  a "simple life".  Yes, Sumner could have painted us a better picture there.  But I wouldn't call the lyrics dumb or embarrassing.

And as far as New Order sounding like some Joy Division stuff, it's not uncommon for this sort of thing to happen.  Bands copy their own material all of the time.  Take The Cure.  alt. end/In Your House and The Walk/Never Enough are only a few.  Some bands find a formula or chord progression that works and just stick with it (Linkin Park, AC/DC).  It's not very original.  But hey, you can only piece together notes together in so many ways and play them at X amount of rhythms before they start sounding like something that's been done before.  Should that be considered plagiarism?  Well, let's see what a jury has to say about that (in reference to Coldplay ripping off Joe Satriani).

Yes I agree to that. It´s a really strong kick off of that album. My favorite though, on Impurity is "Eleven Years". The lyrics really speaks to me from that song. I can see myself walking the streets of Norrköping (my hometown for a couple years) and having some similar thoughts.

I actually partied with the band after a concert here in Uppsala (my current hometown) during the late 80´s. They were nice and their regular fans was really something extra.

I actually partied with the band after a concert here in Uppsala (my current hometown) during the late 80´s. They were nice and their regular fans was really something extra.

that sounds like fun! i've seen them live only in the 2000's but all of those times were really good and memorable shows.

that's maybe my favorite NMA album - and kicks off with one of the best album openers, 'get me out' (imo).

Yes I agree to that. It´s a really strong kick off of that album. My favorite though, on Impurity is "Eleven Years". The lyrics really speaks to me from that song. I can see myself walking the streets of Norrköping (my hometown for a couple years) and having some similar thoughts.

that's a good one, i agree. 
"Still high on the wire above the hollow darkness
Trying not to look down"

for me, 'purity' is another track that remains a special one for me. i'm not a sentimental kind of person and i dislike artists that are trying to preach something but this one makes it home for me, so to speak.
i'll always remember the performance in i saw here in 2007, after the school shooting incident (http://curefans.com/index.php/topic,4263.msg56433.html#msg56433).
before they played the song, sullivan said:
"...everybody read what this guy (=the shooter) wrote on the internet and it was the same f*cking rubbish about you know purity, arian brotherhoods... ehhm, that kind of stuff... (and) it's all one big f*cking lie. we've written lots of songs about you know politics and the world and stuff, the most true of all is this one."



...I will always see Brendan at that broken down piano
His fingers thick and red, shaking on the keys
Battered by the years of alcohol and working
Still playing with the faith that never leaves
So sit us down, buy us a drink, tell us a good story
Sing us a song we know to be true
I don't give a damn that I never will be worthy
Fear is the only enemy that I still know

Revolution for ever, succession of the seasons
Within the blood of Nature, all raised to rot and die
This purity is a lie

Someone said the video plays out like a little thriller, sure does. I thought the song was too repetitive at first, WRONG, quite like it now. Here's hoping they've kept up this standard with the other songs on the upcoming album. Might easily outdo 4:13 Dream in that case (and it'll be released one day before Robert's 50th birthday and all, aaw, cheeky...).

Moonlight Sonata (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQVeaIHWWck&feature=related)  :smth020  Gorgeous.

i'm glad to see a beethoven link here  :D then again, personally i don't enjoy these versions of classical pieces where some dude just has added some strings and vocals (be it synthesizer or real thing) on the original. i suppose they are trying to make it more atmospheric but i think it only works the other way round, it ruins the whole thing. it's like someone took mona lisa and thought "the lady looks ok but the background is kind of dull - now let me paint a better one over the original". which is a sort of crappy idea, i think  :eek:
call me a purist but i like my beethoven served untampered. ;)

some versions of the 1st movement that i really like:

emil gilels (one of my favorite pianists of all time): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuKdFJYPx2U&fmt=18

heres the great eccentric, vladimir horowitz: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzXkPQJOexU&fmt=18


by the way the first movement is well known but the complete sonata is magnificent too. here's the third (and final) movement of the same sonata, played by yevgeni kissin:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_9-2nbyYGU&fmt=18

sounds like a concert performance. i quite like it.

I have difficulties finding anything readeable on this group. Apart from articles in finish (witch I don´t understand) I can only found sites that provides me with torrents and that´s not what I want. Can You help me out here jb? Please.

yes they are a bit of a low-key band what comes to "opening up to media" (and maybe a bit unnecessarily so, imo, but it's their choice i suppose).
so far they don't have an official website of their own, just a myspace page.
their agency (www.fullsteamrecords.com) has a short introduction for the band on their list of artists, but other than that i really can't find anything much in english either. sorry. :/

so far i can (only) find a couple of album reviews/live reviews in english:

http://exclaim.ca/musicreviews/generalreview.aspx?csid1=110&csid2=850&fid1=25311

http://www.thebulletreviews.com/albums/rubik.html

and these short articles in an english language finnish magazine:

http://www.freemagazine.fi/content/view/133/117/

http://www.freemagazine.fi/content/view/210/119/

not very much... but i can forward you any other links i might come across.
(there's not even very much about them written in finnish, apart from a few interviews in some magazines i have.)

Thanx! You´re a darling! I found something myself yesterday just after I posted my last entry to You. It was a revue about the re-issue of Jesus vs People and how disappointed the author was of that re-issue. He or she fancied "Motorik Haiku" and thought that the rest of that album was a real setback. He wrote that the only song he had heard before getting his hands on that (beautiful) album was just MH and had hoped for the rest of that album to be in the same way. I myself found the opener "Jesus" better in quadruple.

Btw I just watched "Edos mack" and it was a beautiful little documentary well worth watching and hearring.

that's funny because i just wrote in my blog that rubik today is better than radiohead, just like von hertzen brothers is better than muse today (what did i just say? :shock:).
just saw both bands in a club gig last week, excellent sets from both!

Good for You. I will definitively take my chances with them, do they ever come here. I don´t know if R will get bigger than RH for the very same reasons You mentioned in Your blog. I remember another good Finish band from the late 60´s , early 70´s, Wigwam, who never quite make it in the competition with similar band from UK, US and Germany.

I jst saw that Wooden Shjips will play Sweden aswell. Fritz´s Corner in the same row as they play Finland.

ahh the good old wigwam! i think their tragedy actually was that they arrived a bit too late: by the time they were just about to make their international break punk rock was already coming up and major record labels in UK started to kick out lots of prog rock/psychedelic bands - that's why wigwam had to go too.
and then a bit later, their drummer committed suicide and that was pretty much it. :/

too bad, as they were really a great band:

Well I guess You´re right there. I just checked my records an they didn´t get their major label contract with Virgin untill 1975. But they did release some good albums earlier on Love. Didn´t know that about their drummer.

hey glad someone liked it. and yes, they are a finnish band, from Pori. actually i just saw them live tonight, they opened for Kuusumun Profeetta ('Moonfog Prophet') - which is a really awesome band by the way. it's an experimental group, ranging from quiet jazzy stuff to art rock to sort of old style heavy metal-ish.... something. impossible to categorize, really. you never know what they'll do next. their singer is a real character.

I try to locate some place in Sweden to buy their records but didn´t find anything on the net. But I will check Stockholm later this month. I also sent a mail to the band and asked if the record company sells anything via them.

(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9gIB81N1V1g/ScybHVD9UlI/AAAAAAAAAHY/HLYlet5uIGI/s320/Sounds+Of+The+Universe+Cover+Art.jpg)


I have to say that I really enjoyed this one. It was better than I expected it to be, although I really wasn't sure what to expect...

But most of all, I must say this is BY FAR the best-sounding album I've heard that's been released in the last 15 years or so. It just has a really nice sound to it, almost vintage in a way. And I don't mean just the instruments themselves, but the production in general. Furthermore, it doesn't suffer from the loudness treatment as much as most other records today do.

Ok... A lot of this has to do with the style of music (music without heavy percussion usually doesn't get hammered so much), but overall it's just a really enjoyable listen — something I can't say about 4:13 Dream, which is tantamount to torture of the ears.  :smth096

If only The Cure (or pretty much anyone else) still released albums that sounded this good, the world would be a much better place!  :smth023
Title: Re: Currently Listening to

This is probably one of the best songs I ever heard. It's on my top three together with "Comfortably numb" of Pink Floyd and "The Big Hand" of The Cure.

That's strange I heard this full album on the radio, and I wasn't that impressed, the songs couldn't do with me I suspect from a good song, good album.

For me a good song, has to take my attention, from the first second to the last, I want to listen to the song like there's nothing else around my. And I've lost so many times the attention, the lyrics ...

A feeling like, I couldn't say what I was just heared, something like that, hard to explain.  :-D

And I guess that's the reason why I like the Cure-music so much, a lot of songs can give me the feeling I want.
But maby I need to listen a second time to Sound of The Universe  ;)

VUK

http://www.myspace.com/vukmusic

CLT  flint in the pines

a really original mix of experimental electronic pop, lucid soaring vocals, mad church organist and something like an east romanian folk singers choir in backing vocals at times. 
ok it sounds almost too odd but it's really beautiful, check it out.

i saw them live some time ago and was really quite impressed.
the current live band consists of:
vuk herself on lead vocals and pump organ(!)
loupine on backing vocals & additional keyboards
janne on drums and percussion

they've just released their new album 'the plains':

(http://www.olivialehti.fi/DesktopModules/Thumbnailer/Thumbnail.ashx?maxwidth=332&src=/Portals/0/pics/musiikki/VUKtheplains.jpg)

fomr the official myspce:

"Vuk is a Finnish-American artist whose unique music carries sonic strains that weave themselves into a rich, colorful tapestry of experimental rock, Balkan vocal music, meticulously layered organ harmonies, exuberantly inventive instrumentation and polyrhythmic walls of Vodou percussion. Her songs explore inner, fictional landscapes sculpted by dreams, sex, trauma, death and spiritual ecstasy. Live, Vuk expands into a percussion-and-organ-driven trio, and the sound of the pump organ takes center stage next to Vuk's startling voice."

The Prids. http://www.myspace.com/theprids

From last.fm:

Sure, this whole 80's thing is still going on, but let's just remember there was more to the 80's than the Clash and the Thompson Twins. There were many European bands who straddled the lines between post-punk and goth/industrial, as in Clan of Xymox, Trisomie 21, the Cassandra Complex, the Legendary Pink Dots, New Order, etc. The Prids update this sound for the new millennium, with a whole boy-girl interplay that provides a freshness to what they're trying to do. And considering the boy-girl, David Frederickson and Mistina Keith, were married, then divorced, and still play in this band together, well that gives a whole new meaning to sexual tension.

Rubik - Dada Bandits. I´m a bit disappointed on the outcome of that album though. It´s so mysteriously mixed. The beginning of the album is good though.

i admit that i bought it but haven't had time to give it a really proper listen yet. i've listened to it a few times but it was playing a bit on the background and i wasn't relaly able to concentrate enough. i saw them live a while ago and at least there i thought i mostly did like the new material more than 'bad conscience patrol'.
but that was live of course - it wouldn't be the first band in the world which i like more live than on studio.

anyway, 'mysteriously mixed' - that's really a very common problem with a lot of albums these days, unfortunately so.

pulp/j. cocker - not my thing, i don't like 90's brit-pop at all. robert once made some funny comment about jarvis cocker's ass & the futility and uselessness of britpop or something like that, i just can't remember now where and what exactly.

anyway, i think william shatner's cover of 'common people' is a lot better than any pulp original - > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKbt3wRsZYw&fmt=18

shatner at his best - i love this one! "live life like you're gonna die... because you are."  :smth043

you'll have time (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9eQ8_T1ytU&fmt=18)

Live life
Live life like you're gonna die
Becasue you're gonna
I hate to be the bearer of bad news
But you're gonna die

Maybe not today or even next year
But before you know it you'll be saying
"Is this all there was?
What was all the fuss?
Why did I bother?"

Now, maybe you won't suffer maybe it's quick
But you'll have time to think
Why did I waste it?
Why didn't I taste it?
You'll have time
Because you're gonna die.

Yes it's gonna happen because it's happened to a lot of people I know
My mother, my father, my loves
The president, the kings and the pope
They all had hope

And they muttered just before they went
Maybe, I won't let go
Live life like you're gonna die
Because you are

Maybe you won't suffer maybe it's quick
But you'll have time to think
Why did I waste it?
Why didn't I taste it?
You'll have time
'Cause you're gonna die

I tell you who else left us
Passed on down to heaven no longer with us
Johnny Cash, JFK, that guy in the Stones
Lou Gehrig, Einstein, and Joey Ramone
Have I convinced you?
Do you read my lips?
This may come as news but it's time
You're gonna die
You're gonna die

By the time you hear this I may well be dead
And you my friend might be next
'Cause we're all gonna die

Yeah, oh maybe you won't suffer and maybe it's quick
But you'll have time to think
Why did I waste it?
Why didn't I taste it?
You'll have time
You'll have time cause you're gonna die
Yes, you're gonna die
You're gonna die, I tell you
You're gonna die
You are gonna die

'Cause maybe you won't suffer maybe it's quick
But you have time to think
Why did I waste it?
Why didn't I taste it?
You'll have time 'cause you're gonna die

Live Life
Life life like you're gonna die
Because you're going to
Oh yes
I hate to be the beater of bad news
But you're gonna die

Maybe not today or even next year
But before you know it you'll be saying
"Is this all there was?
What was all the fuss?
Why did I bother?
Why did I waste it?
Why didn't I taste it?"
You'll have time, baby
You'll have time
'Cause you're gonna die
You are gonna die
Oh yeah

(the sung part in the background)
Y-O-U-apostrophe-R-E-G-O-double-N-A-DIE Die!
You are gonna diiiiiie
Lung cancer, heart attack, diabetes, drug overdose
Choke on a chicken bone
Hit by a lightning bolt
Heart attack
Airplane crash
Car wreck
F*cked up in your aaaaa---s-s-s-s!

hey you definitely need to see them live  - they are really good! i saw then last night, that was a really good show even though their set is only around 70 minutes. i like their live attitude and look and i actually thought the songs work even better live, at least for me it seemed to be so.
upcoming live dates here: http://curefans.com/index.php/topic,6200.new.html#new  unfortunately nothing in sweden this time though.

i only feel a bit disappointed that they are actually playing another finnish concert right now as i write this. i couldn't travel there (another city) because of having to work late today. :(

http://www.rhapsody.com/the-prids/love-zero--2007

EvilSponge review:
Remember Scooby Doo? Loved it? Remember the chase sequences? Now imagine if they'd used Bauhaus as a soundtrack. You're getting warm.

This record has dark leanings for sure but there's nothing remotely cold about The Prids. They're ghost train gothic. They're Halloween indie. Theirs is a rocky kind of horror. Musically, they're garagy post-punk with a dash of surf. But if this is garage, then somebody parked The Mystery Machine in it. Zoiks!

Before going further, be assured we're not talking pastiche here. The Prids are far more Comsat Angels then Cramps. They just aren't afraid of having a good time, and nor are the fans who lap up their live shows. The first thing that strikes me about this band is the interplay between the vocal axis of David Fredrickson and Mistina Keith, guitar and bass respectively. Keith and Fredrickson have a deal of shared personal history that wouldn't be out of place in a Fleetwood Mac biography. It's to their credit, I think, that they still work together so effectively, but tensions permeate this material, especially lyrically.

Keith is also instrumental in the sound The Prids lay down. Against Fredrickson's thin guitar buzz and breathed vocals, Mistina Keith's high, curvaceous bass licks infuse the music with a Vincent Price-like personality. Some of the songs approach familiar territory. Just when I think I'm about to experience a re-working of, say Joy Division's New Dawn Fades (The Glow) or Modern English's Sixteen Days (Back up slow), The Prids will veer stylishly away, often with a deft, surf twang.

It's always useful to have a door into an unfamiliar album, and mine came in the form of the twin peaks that are Like Hearts and Shadow and Shadow. Yet I always hope that such doorways lead to other discoveries and this was certainly one of those albums. More is revealed with every play and my favourite tracks changed as I traveled its learning curve. Right now, I'd find it hard to dislodge the thrilling All That You Want from pole position. Here our estranged lovers crank up the tension until it all goes skyward in a blaze of guitars and synth.

A word also for the drummer Joey Mass too who seems to be following the spatial, Martin Hannett template. What was it Miles Davis once said? "Don't play what's there, play what isn't there." Mass agreed. Perhaps that's why I really like the drums on this record?

Infection, the album's climactic track, comes around too soon. I'm left thirsty for more. Luckily this is the penultimate track. There's still time for the New Order style, spaghetti western elegy Untitled. Once this has drifted away, I'm left reflecting on a real triumph – a terrific album that constantly rewards repeated listening. Any hopes I held of a quick review were dashed! And if it wasn't for those pesky Prids, I would've gotten away with it!

Go unmask this band now.

well it never does but in this case there's no hope at all since that link seems to be sourced from the version with the super-crap distorted audio - that version is pure pain, even without youtube compression.
my remaster should be still up on the muse tracker, for those who might care to have an upgrade. i think it's one of the best tv broadcasts for muse. 'fury' is awesome there!

When I saw Echo in Gothenburgh in the midst of the 80´s they didn´t have no support but played six or seven covers of different bands as a warm-up. That was kind of neat as they did it relly good.

Same thing with the Damned in Stockholm during the same period. I saw them at Draken (The Dragon), an old cinema theater, and instead of using a support act they played the most part of Cures Pornography through the sound system. Pretty neat that to even if it would´ve been even nicer f they covered those songs live themselves.

Cock Robin - Remember the Promise you made

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aqt_rarUVDE

If I laid down my love
To come to your defense
Would you worry for me
With a pain in your chest?
Could I rely on your faith to be strong
To picked me back up and to push me along?
Tell me

You'll be there in my hour of need
You won't turn me away
Help me out of the life I lead
Remember the promise you made
Remember the promise you made

If I gave you my soul
For a piece of your mind
Would you carry me with you
To the far edge of time?
Could you understand if you found me untrue
Would we become one, or divided in two
Please tell me

You'll be there in my hour of need
You won't turn me away
Help me out of the life I lead
Remember the promise you made
Remember the promise you made

Could I rely on your faith to be strong
To pick me back up and to push me along
Please tell me
You'll be there in my hour of need
You won't turn me away
Help me out of the life I lead
Remember the promise you made
Remember the promise you made

Icehouse - No Promises
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyBif6w-SiY

a winter palace
from the arabian nights
white waves on an ocean
gems from a golden age

life in your new world
turning round and round
making some sense
where there's no sense at all

no promises
but if you should fall

stars die in the silence
of arabian nights
wind washes the seasons
in these days of a golden age
life in your new world
turning round and round
making some sense
where there's no sense at all

no promises
but if you should fall

I could give you more
than just the shape of things
break every word
begin it all again
your name on a white sheet
pure lace shot with passion
but as love lies
bleeding in your hands
heaven sends you

no promises
of arabian nights
no white waves on an ocean
no gems from a golden age
life in your new world
turning round and round
so make some sense
where there's no sense at all
I give you

no promises
but if you should fall
no promises
but if you should fall
you fall
no promises
but if you should fall
no promises
but if you should fall
you fall

life in your new world
as it turns round and round
no promises
but if you should fall

Joy Division - Love will tear us apart

When routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And resentment rides high
But emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways, taking different roads
Then love, love will tears us apart again
Love, love will tears us apart again
Why is the bedroom so cold
You've turned away on your side
Is my timing that flawed?
Our respect run so dry
Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our lives
But love, love will tears us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
You cry out in your sleep
All my failings exposed
And there's a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Just that something so good just can't function no more
But love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again

Ian Curtis wrote this song when he falled in love with another girl, a belgian girl, while he was married. and I think he quit his wife for this girl. and voila, the reason of the title of the song.

and is truth, love will tear us apart many times... :roll:

Yes, scary thoughts  :roll:

we must not be scared of that. things happen or do not happen. it depends also of the circunstances. Ian was touring a lot, he was far from the wife, meeting lot of new people, he was a star... it was just probably question of time that he could fall for someone else. I am sure Ian was not scare of that. He just meet someone else, falled in love. The story of everyday. A very human thing.

In any case the best to keep a relationship going on fine is too avoid that kind of circunstances. Communication, doing different things, is always good.

The Mission - Butterfly On A Wheel

:smth020

Silver and gold and it's growing cold
Autumn leaves lay as thick as thieves
Shivers down your spine chill you to the bone
'Cos the mandolin wind is the melody that turns
Your heart to stone

The heat of your breath carving shadows on the mist
Every angel has the wish that she's never been kissed

A broken dream haunting in your sleep
And hiding in your smile a secret you must keep
Love cuts you deep

Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel

There's no scarlet in you, lay your veil down for me
As sure as God made wine, you can't wrap your arms
Around a memory
Take warmth from me, cold Autumn winds cut sharp as
a
knife
And in the dark for me, you're the candle flame that
Flickers to life

Love breaks the wings of a butterlfy on a wheel
Love will break the wings of a butterfly on a wheel

Wise men say all is fair in love and war
There's no right or wrong in the design of love
And I could only watch as the wind crushed your wings
Broken and torn crushed like the flower under the snow
And like the flower in spring
Love will rise again to heal your wings

Love heals the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
Love will heal the wings of a butterfly on a wheel

it's not so scary when you already know that to be true anyway.

Well spoken. I like to think of me as a true romantic person that sometimes maybe walks with dreams never ment to come true. But I know that love is out there somewhere. Just gotta find it.

kristian valen w/ morten harket - stay on these roads (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEd4ExIp-rU&fmt=18)

(kristian valen (norwegian comedian and pop star) pretending to be the a-ha singer, then the vocals taken over by the harket himself.
i don't usually like music like this, it's often too cheesy for me. but this is a good song. and it's a nice semi-acoustic version of it.  i never really liked the version that the band played live, it was very different from the original in terms of tempo and rhythm. this one's closer to it.)

Pulp - Do you remember the first time?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61SPFD0rNRo

You say you've got to go home
cos he's sitting on his own again this evening.
I know you're gonna let him bore your pants off again.
Oh God, it's half past eight,
you'll be late.
You say you've never been sure,
though it makes good sense for you to be together.
Still you bought a toy that can reach the places he never goes.
Oh, now it's getting late.
He's so straight.

Do you remember the first time?
I can't remember a worse time.
But you know that we've changed so much since then,
oh yeah,
we've grown.
Now I don't care what you're doing,
no I don't care if you screw him.
Just as long as you save a piece for me,
oh yeah

You say you've got to go home.
Well at least there's someone there that you can talk to.
And you never have to face up to the night on your own.
Jesus, it must be great to be straight.

Do you remember the first time?
I can't remember a worse time.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvwrSdMY7dQ

Time, flowing like a river
Time, beckoning me
Who knows when we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river
To the sea

Goodbye my love, Maybe for forever
Goodbye my love, The tide waits for me
Who knows when we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea
Till it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forevermore
Goodbye my friends, Maybe forever
Goodbye my friends, The stars wait for me
Who knows where we shall meet again
If ever

But time
Keeps flowing like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea
Till it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forevermore

They weren't around long and I don't think they broke nationally.  So, it doesn't surprise me that someone on the other side of the Atlantic hasn't heard of them.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cunninghams

Kind of cheesy power-pop stuff that was supposed to be the "next thing" coming out of Seattle (after grunge).   

In any case, I think I'll be passing on Project Pitchfork's upcoming Seattle show that hasn't even found a venue yet.  Dude's voice bugs me.

here's a pretty good band that i ran into, just almost accidentally happened to catch them live in WGT without knowing anything about them in advance (only afterwards i realized that it was tony pettitt from fields of nephilim there).
a really good live band, very professional musicians. great female lead vocals. sort of combination ao froots influences and darker, "old gothic rock" sounds. definitely worth checking out, especially live.

Okay, I went back and listened to the links you provided.  You see, when I made my comment I was listening to them on myspace.  Not sure of the song title, but the singer seemed to be doing his best to sound evil in a Rammstein sort of way (which I dislike).  Thus, my comment above.  When he actually sings, it's not too bad.  The music is good.  That I like quite a bit.  August 25 is still a ways off, but perhaps Project Pitchfork will end up on my concert itinerary.  Still need to listen to them a bit more, though.  

Oh, glad to have provided a bit of humor for you.  You know what they say...laughter is the best medicine.   ;)

not quite sure what to think of it yet. a bit like with DM, i've never liked any placebo album as a whole although they have many strong tracks and they are a good live band for sure.
but at least it seems like molko's singing turning better by time, on this one there's more resonance in his voice than before.

i have a problem with his voice... whenever i hear placebo i think 'good song but i can't stand his voice'
quite sad.
i listened to the first single out of the new album (not sure if it's the best track though) and it's not so bad on there so you must be right about the resonance!

i've always had this same problem too. i was always really quite uninterested in them until i decided to go to see them live a few years ago - i really enjoyed that gig a lot so i somehow got over my problem with his voice too a bit after that. but never completely. i do like some of their older stuff, but i only listen to those songs on live recordings, just because the older the studio material is, the more annoyingly nasal and squeeky his voice sounds to me. anyway, they are quite decent live, worth seeing in any case.

by the way i saw molko saying in some interview lately that the only bands still above them/bigger than them are U2 and rolling stones. eh?

Hey JB,

I didn't know you can appreciate Placebo? Maybe we have more in commen than we think sometimes  :-D

I have it also, my HB bought me it, last Monday 8th of June. I must say, it's the only album from Placebo that I have until now. The first time I saw the clip on MTV from "The Bitter End" (when I was hopefully waiting to see maybe The Cure sometimes  :-D) I thought by myself what a special voice and a beautiful sound and then I discovered the first time Placebo.

The second song I knew was "A song to say goodbye" and then I knew that I could love there music.

From the new album:

I like the songs actually all, but the favorits are: The Never Ending Why , Breathe Underwater, Julien.

I have the album with a 40 min during Making The Album dvd. Really nice to see how they work in the studio.
They have also a new drummer. He's only 22 years old, but WOW for that guy. He comes from California where he was playing in the punk/rock band Evaline. I could write more ... maybe I make better a Placebo topic  :-D

Placebo - Placebo. Current track: 36 Degrees

You got me inspired (as always) and especially after me reading one of Swedens absolutely worst rewievers (markus larsson)totally fistfuck their latest album. This is a guy who just don´t know how to write a modest rewiev. Is there a release form any of those boring Swedish dinosaurs like Håkan Hellström, Ulf Lundell or Hives or any likewise boring international giants like U2, Bruce Springsteen, Rolling Stones or any other band that other fellow rewievers like, like the overhyped Glasvegas you can bet your life on that this guy is there and kisses ass. I once red a rewiev of him inwhere he complaint about the artist given a much too long concert so that he (markus) missed his deadline. He didn´t wrote one single word about the concert itself.

But as he says himself in his latest rewiev about Placebo (see the translation below), he is good to have just as a tool of calibration. I found out that almost everything he dislike is either very interesting or very good. And 95 % of what he preferes is mere crap and mainstream greyscale in my oppinion.

Translation of rewiev from Aftonbladet, June 6:th.

Placebo´s only mission is to show humanity exactly how crappy alternative contemporate white rock from Great Brittain can be. As a low water mark they have been a nessecary point of comparison for six albums now. We have to know how bad popmusic can be and how it sounds at its absolute lowest point just to calibrate our rewievs. And when it comes to this we can really rely on Placebo. When everything comes around it´s all about grown people playing teenagers with cajal make up. "Battle for the Sun" makes all those expectations comes true. Here we have Placebo sending Smashing Pumpkins stiff pale vampire rock straight to the morgue. The music is sterile, stiff and dead.

I think Molko´s voice is the perfect link between P music and their lyrics. It´s funny how different one can think of voices that are a little bit out of the ordinary.

I haven´t heard their latest album yet but I got the first three albums and Meds. After reading markus larssons rewiev (see post above this) I think that I´ll have to get it though.

Add: I just went downtown and bought the "Battle for the Sun" and I think it sounds great after the first listening.

Just listening to The Battle with Placebo for the fifth or sixth time and I have to say that this is a great album. I just realised that it sounds a bit like the latter solo albums of Peter Murphy, atleast that goes for the first five tracks. The rest of the album is more laidback typical Placebo-pop, nice and a bit elegant. I´ve sent a rather harsh mail to that idiot Markus Larsson for his ignorant rewiev of this album but of course he didn´t bother to answer.

CLT: The Perfects - Future Automatic (currently downloading as well)

(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_E3x-iiTWUcs/SfWMQa8HNMI/AAAAAAAACFs/i0xqRxzlg8M/s400/TP_FA_FRONT_FINAL.jpg)

I stumbled across this blog http://www.djbynar.com/ a week or so ago and have been loving the music this person posts!  :smth020

While the rest of the music industry has found a new best friend in the vocoder and merely continues their long-standing alliance with the synthesizer, The Perfects, a dance-rock band from Baltimore, Maryland, are one of the few that seamlessly meld those futuristic sounds with the melodic core of yesterday. Echoing the works of Duran Duran and The Cure, The Perfects are quickly cultivating a fan-base as rabid as those in the early days of music videos, when their inspirations ruled the airways.

Founding member Ric Peters started the band in 2005. Heading into the studio with Nic Hard in 2006 (The Bravery, The Church), he came back with the self-titled EP that won over critics and new fans alike. 3 years later, The Perfects return with Future Automatic, an album sure to titillate the eardrums and send people to the dance floor, while still maintaining its artistic integrity. After an early leak, Ric Peters decided to follow the footsteps of Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails and make the album free for download. So head over to
http://theperfects.com and give it a listen. If you are looking for dark, Robert Smith-inspired dance rock that combines broodiness and dance beats you'll be in for a treat.

Die Toten Hosen - Die Sauerkraut Polka! Go crazy on German funpunk.

omg even the name is crazy (band and song!).
i was too little when they started and i never got into them after that cause i had bad memories  of them ruining my quiet TOTP evenings...

Oh come on my alte freunde! Give them a second chance and enjoy some of their records. I guess You where too young for the Rock Palast aswell. Got some awsome good recordings from that german tv-show.

CLT: The Fools - Psycho Chicken. Such a georgious travesti of an otherwise rather boring tune of the Talking Heads.

ok I'll give them a chance but never ever hurt the Talking Heads!!! EVER (ok just kidding...)

listening to Burning Down The House from the Stop making Sense DVD   ( my favorite concert movie before i got orange)

Hey Sis! I do love the Talking Heads but please give me a break when it comes to Psycj´ho Killer. Thats NOT one of their better recordings whatever version you decide to choice from. I just ment that The Fools version was a bunch of fun, that´s all!

Hey Rainprayer. I do like the Talking Heads but let´s not pretend that Psycko Killer is one of their kodakmoments. I´d just ment to say that the Fools´ version was a heap load of fun in comparrison to what TH got out of that tune.

u2 - stay (far away, so close) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4McHZksLBE&fmt=18)

i always really liked this song and the video, being a fan of the wenders film. at the same time, i don't believe in angels - maybe that's why i find the movie is so good: the only angels here are those ones that have decided to walk among us, that's all there really is.

I´m glad for your sake even though I have to admitt I envy you a bit. I love Alpinisms and Iamundernodisguise is a great album opener. But I got the chance to see The Specific Heats now at Kulturhuset in Stockholm, Sweden july 18 together with The Tallest Man on Earth and those two acts are gonna perform between 18.00 and 01.00 (CET) for only $ 10. I´ll guess that there will be other acts and performance during the evening. That´s a nice price if there ever were one.

Btw, there is a nice collection of other band from Ghostly International under the name of "Ghostly Swim" out on cd. School of Seven Bells are represented by "Chain".

I was thinking the very same thing.  ;)  I'm a big fun of other bands Benjamin Curtis has been part of (Tripping Daisy, The Secret Machines), but wasn't quite sure what to expect from SVIIB when I first heard about the project.  They present a nice psychedelic dream pop mix like I've never heard.  Oh those vocals are just so dreamy!  :smth020

Sounds like a nice pairing there and at a great price!  The Tallest Man on Earth played Seattle back in March at a dinner theater.  I thought about going and probably should have.  Sometimes I wish money grew on trees and I lived in a forest.  :lol:

Well I guess you´re excused. The Detroit label Sympathy for the Record Industry printed 100 copies of a 7" vinyl (Makers of High Grade Suites - SFTRI 611) containing three songs with Brian Muldoon and Jack White under the name of The Upholsterers in early 2000. BM is not a very famous musicsian even though his band, The Muldoons did some opening acts for The White Stripes during the early 2000´s. That band (The Muldoons) containd his two sons on guitar and vocals and they were just very young teenagers at the time. BM played the drums. BM also has a garage punk outfit, The Tin Knockers together with JW´s elder brother Eddie Gillis but I have no idea of what they sounds like.

Anyway I sent you a sample from that 7" as an mp3 over your email.

The Specific Heats - Carl Sagan. This song reminds me of Robert Wrattens latter project, Trembling Blue Stars.

Gonna see them live july 18th for the very nice prize of $10. Feels like the 60´s to put up that kind of money.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQjxPGCubXU Crappy sound but what the heck. I´ll guess that when you play a Mosrite you´re bound to make atleast one cover of RAMONES!

The other act is a Swedish guy (Kristian Mattsson) calls himself The Tallest Man on Earth. It´s gonna be well spent money.

I´ve been recycling the good parts of the 80´s again and listened to The Guadalcanal Diary for almost the whole day. Current track is the cheerful Watusi Rodeo! Gee, I really like handclap in rock!

Quite modern again and rather lazy I drowsed off just a slight to the tunes of Melody Gardot. Lie back and enjoy it and cheers mates. I´m having an Anchor Steam while listening.

Just saw the Pet Shop Boys last week in Madrid and I must say, that was one of the best concerts I have seen. It was just awesome. The music, the visuals, the atmosphere.

And now this song is stick in my head "the way it used to be", from their latest album

What a beautiful song, one of the best pop songs I ever heard in my life:

CLT: NIN live @ london O2 2009-07-15 :rocker

i don't know how exactly i managed to end up being there - but hey nevermind. :P
simply freaking awesome. i might have to stop going to concerts now because i won't be able to top this one.  :eek: :shock:

i was uploading some of my own videos i took but it's taking forever. blah.
anyway, here's how the show kicked off: now i'm nothing/terrible lie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSD8-AVH340&fmt=18)
the keyboards went to the pit a few times during the show (and hit a security guy every time, so i was told :P). and it was great to see trent to throw his guitar again. :rocker:  :rocker

not to mention that gary numan(!) came on stage for two songs ('metal' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9D9REefZgUI&fmt=18) and 'cars'). (http://whatacity.com/images/smilies/clapping.gif)

hmm not sure. i really do like a handful of their songs (for instance 'there is a light that never goes out' is really absolutely great, i rate it really high). but outside those maybe half a dozen tracks, i just can't help it that morrissey gives me such awful allergic reactions that i can't ever get through a complete album of their songs.

Jeff Tweedy live @ The Vic 2007 04 06. This is a great concert with an almost familiar tone between JT and the audience. The audience has made requests before the concert and Mr Tweedy tries to play as many as he possibly can. Great chat aswell and many a good laughs. I´m into a Wilco-period now after getting their latest album. Might actually be their best since their debut "Wilco A.M." from 95.

I had the pleasure of catching these guys in concert this evening.  WOW!  :eek:  GREAT GREAT show!  :rocker  Didn't know much about them before the day began.  It seemed I wasn't  alone there.  Most of the room walked away sounding like they had just discovered their new favorite group.  That's one nice thing about festivals, discovering new music.  If they happen to pass through your town, do yourself a favor and go see them.  Good times will be had.

Painted by Numbers (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jN41MDONgOA&feature=related)

I recently saw them in concert, opening for No Doubt.  Didn't know very much about the band before then other than just skimming through a few tracks (and recognizing Hurt You from the Geico ad (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwWfU18boOI&feature=related) on TV), but have become a fan since.  Unfortunately my recording didn't turn out so hot.  I was taping from the lawn in front of a satellite speaker.  Didn't really know where to set my levels at.  Nor did the their sound guy.  :roll:  They REALLY turned up the bass for Beatbox!  Anyway, if you like The Cars and Blondie, give The Sounds a listen.  I've yet to check out their latest album, Crossing The Rubicon.  Suppose I should get on that before pimping these guys too much.   :P

Taste from 1967. Did you know that Roger Gallagher is said to be the first one owning a Fender Strat on Ireland buying his ´61 Strat at second hand in a guitar shop. "Aha", you might say, "if it was secondhanded he surely must be the second person on that island owning one". The tale is  that a person, unknown, ordered a red Strat but the retailer got a sunburst instead and then the guy who ordered the guitar in the first place didn´t want it so it was sold as a second hand guitar to Mr Gallagher. And I guess you all know that he kept it and really used it through out the years and worn off all that sunburst paintwork.

glad to hear you got to hear your fav song. i was lucky to hear 'eraser' on my first NIN gig. they had those swinging lamps above the stage, it was pretty cool:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCuS1jqQ7F8&fmt=22

it's sort of hard to see much from the youtube videos of this song because it was pretty dark. the lamps were really effective live though.

yard of blonde girls (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2b6hQ5wib8&fmt=22)

as strange as it might sound, there's something strangely nirvana-esque in this song, it's the "fear we may come"part. on the other hand it's something very different at the same time...

personally i'm convinced this one would have been THE best album of the 90's and one of the best ever, had it been finished.

actually it was a very "physical" audience, really great crowd action. the band started with somewhat damaged - last - heresy - march of the pigs-etc and i remember aaron diving into the audience already during the second song or so.  :rocker

It's so hard
It's leading me astray

My obsession
It's my creation
You'll understand
It's not important now

All I need is
Co-ordination
I can't imagine
My destination
My intention
Ask my opinion
But no excuse
My feelings still remain
My feelings still remain

The Messer Chups, a very dynamic duo from St Petersburg. This band is heavily into gothic vampyres and could easily have used the whole Plan 9 from Outer Space as a video to their music or why not make a whole new soundtrack to that film. On stage they performe in front of different b&w horror- or sci-fi films from the 60´s and 70´s.

I listened Roxette between 1990-1991 I think, I was 13 or 14 by then. I was big fan of them, I remember. But I remember this group of guys listening new wave at the school, and I knew the PSB, Depeche Mode and then The Cure. A pretty radical change ;)

But I still love "Fading like a flower", and some other Roxette songs. "Fading like a flower" takes me back to the high school times...

Slowdive - When the Sun Hits. Thank You again dsanchez for the reminder long time ago. My copy of "Souvlaki" was so full with dust and domestic debris just some six or seven months ago. It´s funny, because just a few minutes ago I was listening to another band that I almost forgotten; namely Missing Persons and that´s because of another Curefan-tip from Poe. As a matter of fact there are some nics here that posts good tips; dsanchez, poe and crowbi_wan; I owe You three much musical fun!

Magenta Skycode: Were Going To Climb/Escaping Outdoors  :)


video for 'We're Going To Climb" (http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=100358216)

awesome that they've finally released some new material. the new songs are released only on limited edition (529 copies) 7", all have exclusive artwork on the back of the sleeve - recently got my copy, it's #160/529 and chose it because there's a watercolor of a owl-like figure on the back.

you can listen to both songs on the band's myspace:

(btw there was an interview of the band's songwriter/singer jori sjöroos in one magazine some time ago, the pics for the interview were taken at his home. known to be a cure fan, the front cover pic of him with a watercolor of robert smith hanging on the background. just some random curespotting i couldn't miss...)

RATM - Killing in the name (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkuOAY-S6OY#)

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/dec/20/rage-against-machine-christmas-number-1 (http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/dec/20/rage-against-machine-christmas-number-1)

In recent years, it had become as predictable as elections in North Korea – singer wins X Factor, singer's debut single goes to No 1. So when Joe McElderry won the TV talent contest, he was no doubt confident he would celebrate Christmas at the top of the charts.

Alas for the 18-year-old from South Shields, it wasn't to be: a song almost his own age denied him the top spot after a successful online campaign.

Killing In The Name, an expletive-heavy rock song first released in 1992 by the Californian rock band Rage Against the Machine, won the battle for Christmas top spot on the basis of downloads only. It sold about 500,000 copies last week, about 50,000 more than The Climb, McElderry's earnest ballad.

[...]

But arguably the real victor here was a rock fan from Essex who started a Facebook group a month ago with the (then) pie-in-the-sky idea of usurping the X Factor winner from the no 1 slot.

Jon Morter, 35, a part-time rock DJ and logistics expert from South Woodham Ferrers, near Chelmsford, decided it would be a bit of a giggle to start a campaign to encourage people to buy a record with pretty much the opposite vibe to the X Factor winner's ballad. While McElderry urges listeners to "keep the faith", the Rage track is best known for its now-ironic refrain: "f*ck you, I won't do what you tell me."

:lol:  :rocker

Rage guitarist Tom Morello issued the following statement: Attention Freedom Fighters! RAGE VS. X-FACTOR WILL BE DECIDED BY SATURDAY'S SALES. Spread the word! Knock on doors! Host downloading parties! Knock over ladies buying X-Factor! The clock is ticking. And if 'Killing in the Name' is No. 1, WE ARE COMING. And it will be the victory party to end all victory parties."

no, i wouldn't like to be the last guy (or to be any kind of guy ;)).
let's say i'd like to be there if my "bullet time" was in good shape that day. ;)

but yeah, i'm sort of afraid of such free shows. too many people and too many of them there probably if not for wrong then at least doubtful reasons.

I absolutely LOVE this band.  Really good in concert.  They'll soon be opening up for The Big Pink here in Seattle and at my favorite club.   :D  Last time they passed through town was at my least favorite venue.  This spot with crap sound.  Was still a good show, but am really excited to get the opportunity to see them somewhere I know they'll sound as they should.

Anyway, this song has sort of a Cure feel to it.  The hook reminds me a bit of The Baby Screams.  At least it's the same or very similar chord progression.

I have to say the same to you. I think that this specific track is rather simillar in structure and composure to "Strange Device" with yet another band from downunder, namely The Melting Skyscrapers. Just like "Vikings" "Strange Device" is growing and growing and really gets under your skin. I know that this song on 7" vinyl from the 80`s (Waterfront 1985) is hard to get but if you get a chance, listen to it if you haven´t already heard it.

Never heard of The Melting Skyscrapers before.  Thanks for the tip on Strange Device.  :rocker  Love the build up on that track and tones their guitarist produces.  There's something so pure about 80s guitar effects that cannot be emulated in today's sound.

I wouldn't call his work worthless. His latest album was of high caliber, and I'm fairly certain that he wrote "Asleep" while in The Smiths. He has talent, just not necessarily Marr's talent.

Just switched to a little evil and vivid stoner by High on Fire. Their new album "Snakes for the Devine" is really a great pop album on steroids. It must be played loud though. Gee is it vivid then?! Current track is "Frost Hammer" and I have no idea if the phones are ringing or if the neighbours are banging on my door...

Locomotive GT, an old Hungarian rock combo from the early 70´s. I was so glad today when i found this record on a cd-release. I never really expected to find it in this format here in Sweden (not a major band) and since my vinyl copy is more or less ready for the holy huntinggrounds I was very pleased to see that I was wrong in my assumptions.

oky dokey  here is my list of listening tonight ( just to piss my neighbours off! ) :   ;)

1. Eric Clapton   : "layla" acoustic cd single .. with track 2: 'tears in heaven' , track 3: excerpts from mtv "unplugged" interview. ABSOLUTELY MY FAVOURITE ALL TIME SINGLE PLAYS..  means a hell of a lot to me.. ... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO ANYONE WHO HAS LOST A CHILD.

2.The Essential BOB DYLAN:  double C.D. ... Classic follow-up to the Eric Clapton single, as he refers to BOB in the interview..

3.Definitive INXS  : for any Aussie fans out there... I just play the songs as I want.. .. the 21 singles are all ledgendary.., but I like to change the playlist.. to suit my mood. None are ever left out.  :smth020

4. The Rocky Horror Picture Show . The 25th Anniversary..  ( unfortunatly NOT the Aussie version of the stage play, but non-the-less, a classic, including Susan Sarandon, and Tim Curry..)I know all the words, my fav being 'Toucha-Toucha-Touch Me, and Science Fiction..)  :twisted:

5. Adam and the Ants: Dandy Highwaymen, The Best of.. >.   A little disappointing; a few songs altered by the scoundrel McClaren  :cry:

6:Alex Llyod: Black The Sun : Triple J lIve Version, disc 2.. for Aussie fans again, this was his ARIA award winning 1st album: highly recommended.  :smth023

7. Pink Floyd: The Wall.. still playing.. but turned down low now .. as it is after 3am in the morning here now..  :smth011


I like to to travel through a few decades in one night.. it feels like a journey of the soul.. if I can't time travel, then music can take me where I wanna go..  :D :smth098

here's some more for you: existence (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7TBgJ1m5vg&fmt=18)  :rocker



Okay, I went back and listened to the links you provided.  You see, when I made my comment I was listening to them on myspace.  Not sure of the song title, but the singer seemed to be doing his best to sound evil in a Rammstein sort of way (which I dislike).  Thus, my comment above.  When he actually sings, it's not too bad.  The music is good.  That I like quite a bit.  August 25 is still a ways off, but perhaps Project Pitchfork will end up on my concert itinerary.  Still need to listen to them a bit more, though.  

Oh, glad to have provided a bit of humor for you.  You know what they say...laughter is the best medicine.   ;)

Project Pitchfork are finally coming to Seattle.  Nearly a year after they were forced to cancel their gig last year due to visa issues.  The time has given me a chance to give them more of a listen and it looks like I'll be in attendance for their show.

great news. :smth023

just reading the latest BP news, i was reminded about a very fitting pitchfork song:

Project Pitchfork - KNKA (live) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiV8VN_wJCY#ws)

killing nature killing animals
don't disturb we love our chemicals


i have a t-shirt with that text on the back, i think i'll wear it today - for BP.

we're growing and moving
we're absorbing everything
there's arising a new point of view
but we don't pay attention
there's still so much to do
we have still so much to kill!

I know you're gonna let him bore your pants off again.
Oh God, it's half past eight,
you'll be late.
You say you've never been sure,
though it makes good sense for you to be together.
Still you bought a toy that can reach the places he never goes.
Oh, now it's getting late.

:smth020
Wow, that was really good!  :shock:

Sounds like U2 in 1987, but with a different singer. It just goes to show what I was saying in that other thread about bands getting too old. U2 is another group showing its age, unfortunately. Edge still sounds great, but the band overall doesn't have the "fire" it once did live. But here, with a relatively young band, the song has new life again.

My only complaint is the ooohing and ahhhing that Matt does before the first verse. He seems to like doing that for some reason.  :?

By the way, don't forget to click on the soccer ball at the YouTube page to hear the "vuvuzela version."  :oops:

i agree, that was great!  :shock: i bet the edge was thinking "damn i wish larry and adam would play like that, i should get these guys in my backing band". :P
i think they should have closed with that song, what else is there to play after that? sorry muse but 'plug in baby' just sounds like a downer after that performance and song.

about matt's oooooh-aaaah habits: he does the same during the intro on 'starlight' - drives a lot of people nuts! 

vuvuzela version? thanks but no thanks ;)

i bet you can't watch the cats without smiling and feeling happy :)

Magenta Skycode: The Simple Pleasures (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lfrte4YvgAA#ws)

a wonderful song and a real feelgood video. magenta skycode (http://www.magentaskycode.net/2010/10/20/magenta-skycode-relief/magenta%20skycode) is more or less a one-man project, songs are written and performed (on the album) by jori sjöroos - who btw is a well-known cure fan (the cure tends to come up in almost every article and interview with him. although luckily not for any obvious reasons, which would be banal of course). the cats too are more or less a immediate reference for those who know. 

their new album 'relief' is purely marvellous, superb ear-candy, beautifully produced, no nonsense in all levels. the best album of the year and  the four years wait was so worth it. too often these days the wait itself tastes better than the album at the end of the wait, for once the bliss continues.

you didn't like Face to Face's Pictures of you? Because I rank it at the very top and even higher than any The Cure's 80's pop song (except Push)

I rank Push as one of The Cure's worst 80s songs, it's a feelgood atmospheric filler devoid of their usual musical invention.

The Face to Face song... The intro has some promise but 1) his voice is painfully earnest 2) it's fundamentally unremarkable 80s fare.

Give me Lovecats anytime, not to mention Caterpillar, Close to Me or Mr Alphabet.

I suppose no-one is "right"when it comes to music's preferences :)

I still rank Face to Face's "Pictures of you" as one of the greatest 80's song, it captures the essence of the decade and IMO it should be a must in any dance floor.

The word's on the streets you've found someone new
If he looks nothin' like me I'm so happy for you
I heard an old girlfriend has turned to the Church
She's tryin' to replace me but it'll never work

'Cause every touch reminds you
Of just how sweet it could have been
And every time he kisses you
It leaves behind the bitter taste of saccharine

A bad cover version of love is not the real thing
Bikini clad girl on the front who invited you in
Such great disappointment when you got him home
The original was so good no one you know longer know

And every touch reminds you
Of just how sweet it could have been
And every time he kisses you
You get the taste of saccharine

It's not easy to forget me
(It's not easy to forget me)
It's so hard to disconnect
(It's so hard to disconnect)
When it's electronically reprocessed
(Electronically)
To give a more life like effect
Tom, come on

Aah, sing your song
About all the sad imitations
That got it so wrong

It's like a late Tom and Jerry
When the two of them could've talk
Like the stones since the eighties
Like the last days of southfork, ohh
Like 'Planet of the Apes' on TV
The second side of 'til the band comes in
Like an known brand box of cornflakes
He's goin' to let you down my friend

Hey, there's no obligation for us fans to like anything Robert does like (and from what I gathered, he likes/liked a whole lot from Jimi Hendrix & Nick Drake up to The Twilight Sad)!
I know "65 Days of Static" were hand-picked by RS to support during the 2008 tour and they're not too far away from Mogwai sound-wise, but whenever I tried, they never "clicked" with me like Mogwai did. So what...

Not being open is not good (in my humble opinion). I've listened to all kinds of stuff from rock to classic (including sitting through 4-hour-operas).

"Pop" is not a bad thing - I'm sure you'll find Robert listened to pop songs as well. For example, I remember The Cure had the singer from Republica (Saffron) doing guest vocals on "Just Say Yes".

I kept the En Vogue album because I really liked it. Some of it sounded like Janet Jackson – I like some of her stuff. But I wouldn't say I'm a fan. It's partly tongue-in-cheek.

"The Velvet Rope" album is excellent. I also listened a lot to "Rhythm Nation 1814" album. But afterwards, it's a matter of taste. Music is above all a feeling.

Oh, i am aware , but , unfortunately (well my wallet likes it though xD ) my tastes don't allow me to like most of the music i listen to, so at least it isn't because i don't try.

I am, however,slowly getting tired to try new music, i mean i am older, have not much time and patience anymore , i even did not give the latest cure albums the time they deserved back in the day - i am giving them now that time, and i am glad i did,i am really enjoying them!!

The only band that has grown on me lately has been The Sounds, they are pop rock, a little bit like Saffron's former band, Republica, which i liked, and was pleasantly surprised when saw her joint The Cure fur Just say Yes.
I also tried 'En Vogue', but not my cup of tea :(

Hm, maybe time to listen to The Mission once again, 30 years since "Children" was released...

http://crypticrock.com/the-mission-children-turns-30/

QuoteAn offshoot from the prime English Gothic Rock band The Sisters of Mercy, The Mission had eventually surpassed and overshadowed its predecessor immediately upon releasing its debut album and for ultimately becoming much, much more prolific. While the The Sisters of Mercy got to deliver three proper albums, The Mission had eleven on the sleeve of its originator. But then, this is not a competition. Both bands had earned merits of their own and had respectively left musical legacies that continue to influence many contemporary bands and to entertain old and young enthusiasts of Gothic and New Wave music.

Formed in 1985, in Leeds, England, by former Sisters of Mercy members Wayne Hussey (vocals, guitar) and Craig Adams (bass) with Drummer Mick Brown (of Red Lorry Yellow Lorry) and Guitarist Simon Hinkler (Artery, Pulp), The Mission released eleven proper albums—from 1986's Gods Own Medicine to 2016's Another Fall from Grace. While Gods Own Medicine was a solid and cohesive set and Carved in Sand the most Pop-oriented among the lot, Children remains the band's pinnacle and its most progressive work. It was the moment when Hussey and his comrades really let go of their inhibitions, unafraid to defy the norm, and went beyond the typical four-minute tendencies of Pop music. Thirty years have passed since The Mission's Children was born, and yet the songs that it contains remain confident and bold.

Released in February 1988, on Mercury Records, the almost conceptual Children opened with the epic, almost-eight-minute "Beyond the Pale," whose mix of Hindustani-inspired Psychedelia and Gothic Rock rendered chilling results and which featured on backing vocals Julianne Reagan of the then fledgling Gothic band All About Eve. The Eastern psychedelic vibes continued with the equally upbeat "A Wing and a Prayer" and subtle, dramatic buildup of "Fabienne" from synthesizer echoes to the fuzz and grates of the guitar. ...

Such A Shame, to believe in escape, a life on every face, and that's a change, till i'm finally left with an eight. Tell me to relax, I just stare, maybe I don't know if I should change a feeling that we share, it's a shame (Such A Shame) number me with rage, it's a shame (Such A Shame), number me with haste, it's a shame (Such A Shame) this eagerness to a change, it's a shame. The dice decide my fate, that's a shame in these trembling hands my fate tells me to react, I don't care, maybe it's unkind if I should change, a feeling that we share, it's a shame (Such A Shame) number me with rage it's a shame (Such A Shame) number me with haste, it's a shame (Such A Shame) this eagerness to a change, it's a shame. Tell me to relax, I just stare, maybe I don't know if I should change a feeling that we share, it's a shame, (Such A Shame) number me with rage, it's a shame, (Such A Shame) number me with haste, it's a shame (Such A Shame) write across my name, it's a shame (Such A Shame) this eagerness to a change, Such A Shame.

QuoteWhile his bandmates from The Damned are busy releasing new music and trying to relive past glories, Rat Scabies has the future on his mind. And that look forward includes the release of his very first solo album P.H.D. (Prison Hospital Debt) (out on May 18th via Cleopatra Records). And, yeah, the future looks pretty bleak. But at least the music we're getting on our slow slide into oblivion is freakin' great. Just give a listen to the first release from this new album, "Chew On You," a grinding rocker that sounds as filthy and dangerous as that title would suggest.

...brilliant track, brilliant album!

I love that there's some like-minded Bowie fans in this forum!! 🙂

I'm still in awe about the vast range of what he created ...an undefinable genius!
Recently I've been on a Bowie 80's spree...  The lyrics in Time Will Crawl I find immensely interesting, and I really love that song. ... The video for Blue Jean is one of the best things EVER! ... The vocals in Cat People always blows my mind!  😺😺😺

...he's gonna get the faculty together!!  Wooohoooo!!

"Sound & Vision" was a song I really loved when I borrowed the "BowieChanges" album from a mate around 1990. Around the same time, I listened a lot to The Cure's "Seventeen Seconds" (as I'd just bought the vinyl in '89); when I read that RS said it was inspired (partly) by Bowie's "Low", I became increasingly interested, so I bought the "Low" remastered cd which was released in '91. (Been a "fan" of that album ever since.)

Btw, here's a newly re-recorded Bowie song from '87, featuring Reeves:
Quote"The ultimate happy-go-lucky rock tune, based in the nonsensical period of psychedelia," Mario McNulty, longtime Bowie engineer and overseer of Never Let Me Down 2018, said in a statement. "Stripping this song down to its core revealed a track that could have been right at home on Hunky Dory, I kept Peter Frampton's sitar (which was originally owned by Jimi Hendrix) as it still fits against the new guitars from Reeves Gabrels."

Quote
What a great opener, 'Hello, I love you, tell me your name,'" the Doors' drummer John Densmore says. "Like, whoa, OK. That's aggressive. You're in love with me but you don't know my credentials?"

He laughs and says that kind of pickup line was not frontman Jim Morrison's style at all, even if he did write the lyrics. "He was sort of 'Southern shy,'" the drummer says. "Well, if he got loaded, he got a little more open – a little too open sometimes." But when he wrote the lyrics that would become "Hello, I Love You" – a Number One single off the band's Waiting for the Sun LP – it was more from a place of hope than actual bravado. "It's about an African-American girl he saw on the boardwalk in Venice," he says. "'Do you hope to make her see you, fool?/Do you hope to pluck this dusky jewel?'" He laughs again. "Who puts words like that to rock & roll? Only Jim."

The song will be getting a second life when Rhino Records reissues the seven-inch on Friday, the 50th anniversary of when the song went to Number One.

After it topped the chart, the song lived on through covers by many other artists who wanted to put their own spin on it. Jazz drummer Buddy Rich turned it into a big-band raveup, the Cure made it more of a straight-ahead rock song, and Missing Persons refashioned it as a New Wave odyssey, among others.

My friend is alright at the moment - he suffered from diabetes, but I'm glad his eyesight got better (when I visited in spring, he could hardly see)! He just wrote me a letter. Will visit him again soon, maybe another song will come up. ;)

Never knew much about Jeff Beck, but this song might've fit into the "best guitar solo" topic as well.

My condolences... the curse of the late birth, eh? ;)

As a teen, I used to listen to Mike Oldfield, Kim Wilde and parts of the "Neue Deutsche Welle", before I discovered: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MAqCu4pm8A

Which kinda set me up for what came next (and stayed with me for 30+ years): The Cure and The Damned.

Talking of Scottish bands...
when I came home last night, I found out there was a Mogwai concert broadcast on "arte".

https://www.arte.tv/en/videos/073465-010-A/berlin-live-mogwai/
QuoteAvailable from 26/10/2018 to 25/11/2018
(I must admit, there isn't "happening" a lot when they play, it can be "boring" to watch it; the best thing is to get "into it", forget about the rest and focus on their music.)

i still think about you lots sometimes
it makes me sad when I think about you lots sometimes
it makes me laugh out loud when I think of you lots sometimes
a flame burns bright inside of me for you lots sometimes

something hurts inside when i think of you lots sometimes
i see a distance when i think about you lots sometimes
the birds sing for me and you in the morning light lots sometimes
i feel lost when i think about you lots sometimes

i'm out of control when i think of you lots sometimes
i tell myself i dont need you anymore lots sometimes
i wonder if you ever loved me at all lots sometimes
i don't want to live without you anymore lots sometimes

i dot to dot with the stars to spell your name at night lots sometimes
the flowers in my garden still await your return lots sometimes
the evening breeze whispers your name in my ear lots sometimes
i picture me and you when i lie awake at night lots sometimes

it makes me mad when i think about you lots sometimes
i feel lower than the pavement when i think of you lots sometimes
i wish you here with me nocturnally lots sometimes
i hope your happy wherever you are lots sometimes

i pray to god i haven't lost you for good lots sometimes
i hold on to hope i'm somewhere in your heart lots sometimes
i can't help it when i think about you lots sometimes
i miss you like i've never missed anything lots sometimes

i find it hard to let go and move on lots sometimes
i really thought we could have made it to the end lots sometimes
i guess i never stopped loving you at all lots sometimes
i still think about you lots sometimes

QuoteFace To Face, Pictures of you

Is that what you sent for through my hands
it jogged my memory
I remember faces in my past
but that would never come to me
and as I look back the distance
it was always against the time.
but I took an oath not to break the bond
of all I feel inside

Yesterday I cried for hours
alone in my room
and I watched the tears roll down on a
photograph of you

Chorus: (some text missing)
Pictures of you
alone in my room

When I'm burning bridges all behind
some how I never really cared,
I just raised my fist in anger
at all I couldn't understand

And then that night i had a dream
I was riding a ?honcho high?
and I looked at all the world
just to find my hands tied

Chorus: (some text missing)
Pictures of you
alone in my room

And I know that theres a part of me
I cannot call my friend
I can't catch him in the mirror
but when I turn hes there again

Yeah when I turn, i turn uh oh oh uh oh, turn
I turn, uh oh oh uh oh , turn , I turn
uh oh oh uh oh , turn , I turn TURN !! I TURN AWAY !!

And yesterday I cried for hours
alone in my room
and I watched the tears roll down
on a photograph of you

Chorus: (some text missing)
Pictures of you
alone in my room

I dont don't . I Don't need pictures , I dont don't ,i Don't need pictures ,
I dont don't . I Don't need pictures - I DON'T KNOW

FFS! Do you really want me to throw up my morning coffee?  :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Modern Talking must be the WORST "music" ever to come out of Germany... (and their "mastermind" Dieter B. must be one of the worst bigmouths ever). Even back in the 80s I hated this (every song sounded the same, sometimes you could sing the tune of the other one over the new one)!  :1f629:

Now I need something heavy...

Ha, I like the diversity here in this music topic - Haircut 100 and next The Exploited!  :lol:

"F*ck the USA" is a bit dull for me though - I prefer it more "subtle", like this:

"From the land of the roller skate
It's the same great team who put a man in space
With a new flavour bubblegum you have to taste
It's like a bomb blowing up in your face

Atlantic tunnel
Coming straight to you
Breaking bones of dinosaurs
On the ocean floor
With a boom, boom, boom

I name this tunnel "Mayflower 2"
And it's coming at you like a long lasso

Who cares? Why kick up a fuss?
We want a satellite state that thinks the same as us
We want to smoke your peace pipe and abuse your trust
..."

Saw him in Croatia a few years ago in an old Roman amphiteatre similar to one of "The Cure in Orange". Amazing music, sound, his voice still intact... 10/10. Pink Floyd is right at the top of my favorite bands. Hope you get to see him live!

Lakaien. (Meaning something like "servants")

Saw them live a few times between 1996 and 2002, then I kinda gave up. (Last show I saw wasn't much to my delight, too much rain on the motorway, girl I wanted to go with couldn't find her ticket any more... disaster from start to finish... well almost, went with a friend and it was okay, but could've been better.)

Another good one was the solo album and solo band gig from singer Veljanov back in 1998!

From Reeves Gabrels FB (shared via Bowie's FB):
QuoteThe first Tin Machine LP entered the Official UK Album Chart at #3 on this day in 1989 and stayed in the Top 40 for seven weeks.

Don't forget that to mark the 30th anniversary of the album's release (22nd May), Julien Temple's short promotional film of the band performing a medley of nine songs at The Ritz in NY has finally had an official release for download and streaming.

Watch it here: https://smarturl.it/TM9songYT


I listened to the album "Tin Machine" (bought the cd many years ago, but not when it was brandnew) and it's (much) better than its reputation! Bowie & Gabrels were a good team and the Sales brothers (bass/drums) were quite a groove machine!

QuoteI still think about you lots sometimes
It makes me sad when I think about you lots sometimes
It makes me laugh out loud when I think of you lots sometimes
A flame burns bright inside of me for you lots sometimes

Something hurts inside when I think of you lots sometimes
I see a distance when I think about you lots sometimes
The birds sing for me and you in the morning light lots sometimes
I feel lost when I think about you lots sometimes

I'm out of control when I think of you lots sometimes
I tell myself I dont need you anymore lots sometimes
I wonder if you ever loved me at all lots sometimes
I don't want to live without you anymore lots sometimes

I dot to dot with the stars to spell your name at night lots sometimes
The flowers in my garden still await your return lots sometimes
The evening breeze whispers your name in my ear lots sometimes
I picture me and you when I lie awake at night lots sometimes

It makes me mad when I think about you lots sometimes
I feel lower than the pavement when I think of you lots sometimes
I wish you here with me nocturnally lots sometimes
I hope your happy wherever you are lots sometimes

I pray to god I haven't lost you for good lots sometimes
I hold on to hope I'm somewhere in your heart lots sometimes
I can't help it when I think about you lots sometimes
I miss you like I've never missed anything lots sometimes

I find it hard to let go and move on lots sometimes
I really thought we could have made it to the end lots sometimes
I guess I never stopped loving you at all lots sometimes
I still think about you lots sometimes

But on a related musical note, I rather enjoy this number:


That's one of those "one song for that artist" patterns - I never could really warm enough to any of BAD's other stuff I heard, to want to repeat listen.

Similar to enjoying Fools Gold by the Stone Roses - in that case I bought the album, but never listen to any other song off it, because I just couldn't warm to any of the other tracks.

Ah! I would have missed that.  Slightly too young to have had my antennae out back then and just familiar with their radio songs. :)  Quite a few people were incorporating reggae in the 80s.  I mean, there's obviously The Police, there's UB40 - the latter, Brett loathes.  :rofl  I kind of like Red Red Wine because it was the best song on the dire mix tape we listened to a lot in Year 9 Art class back in 1984.  That tells you something about that mix tape!  :1f631:  Their singer does sound like Daffy Duck, but on the other hand, good on him for not letting that stop him.

Quote from: undefinedTalking of Mick Jones, there is a "tribute" to him on the latest Waterboys album:

Thank you for that, I really enjoyed this. :cool  And isn't Mike Scott detailed and effusive when doing tributes.  I always laugh at this one:


I've not gotten around to the new album yet, and some before that one even, we're currently acquiring a few more Cure albums etc (we just got Join the Dots) - those two are my current "get up to date" priorities.  When I get a new album of that ilk, it always takes me at least a month before I'm ready to hear another new one (because these are albums that require a lot of digesting and assimilating - it's not background music or toe-tappers).  I'm really interested in his WB Yeats theme album too - I looooved the Waterboys take on The Stolen Child way back, and Yeats was already one of my favourite poets when that came out.  Hopefully I will live long enough to hear all these things!  :)

And this is for @dsanchez - some more breakup songs of a different sort that can be useful in certain situations:

Ah well, the latest 2 Waterboys albums are a "mixed bag". Mike Scott started experimenting with drum loops on the recent "Out of all this blue" (don't get confused, because the song with that title is on the new album!). Some of the songs seemed more like "demos" to me (MS mentioned some of them are "first takes" when it comes to the vocals). Still, there are some quality songs (even though I got to admit some of the more "experimental" ones are difficult to take for me)...

He's often in storytelling mode; so here's another song like that.  Sort of what Neil Young does, and Bob Dylan, and Leonard Cohen etc.

I remember after The Waterboys had taken off for Ireland after This Is The Sea; I was listening to an interview with Bob Geldof on the radio cycling back from university one day (it's so funny, I remember cycling under pine trees when this next comment got made) - it would have been 1989/1990-ish I think; Geldof was in Perth with his whole family and talking to the local radio station 96FM, which was quite a good one in those days - they didn't play a lot of rubbish or Top 40, and the DJs never yelled like dickheads, they just spoke politely.  Anyway, they had Geldof playing songs he liked, and one of those was The Whole Of The Moon, and after that song Geldof lamented long and loud that The Waterboys had ever gone to Ireland and gotten happy, he preferred them when they were in Britain and miserable (his words). :rofl

I thought that was hilarious - The Waterboys had never struck me as miserable, but it's true they had fun in Ireland with traditional music, which I suppose would have alienated much of their contemporary audience. 

I've tended to find something to like in every phase (like with Neil Young); but yeah, some songs appeal more than others.  Still, that seems to be a general thing with lots of artists.  I'm trying to think of one where this isn't the case.  Suzanne Vega gets close. :)

Quote from: SueC on August 03, 2019, 14:05:57He's often in storytelling mode; so here's another song like that.

Well that is true, but I don't wanna hear more of his "experimental" mode like this one:
:1f62b:    :?

:rofl

Well, that one I found very neutral.  It's not great, and it's not actively horrible.  It was fine for rolling out bread dough to, as background music for when I'm doing something where I have to concentrate.  I can't listen to my favourite music while I'm having to concentrate on something else.

I can think of many worse things (like boy bands), but on the other hand, you are probably spoilt by the quality of your music collection, and Brett always says, "Life is too short to read books you don't like." (or love, if you want to put the bar higher)

I listened again to the previous MS song you posted and wondered if it was just starting to shade into elevator music - and consulted my husband for an opinion.  He said, "Nah, if you want to hear some elevator music, I've got a little piece called Love Is Blue on my iPod."  I then interrogated him over the possession of such an item in his collection.  He explained that it was from a series called Millennium, specifically an episode where someone is playing it on a loop in the background all the time as part of the creation of a personal hell, the aim of which is to get a bunch of teenage prodigies to revert to mediocrity - that it was a clever episode, and he wanted to remember it.

What both songs do remind me of is the sort of music I heard in restaurants in Italy in the late 70s / early 80s - just imagine him singing that first one in Italian...  It's got that sort of vibe to it.  Without wishing to demean the people playing a certain kind of music in restaurants in Italy, this attribute is unlikely to get me switched on to an artist.  But apparently, once I am switched on to an artist, they can get away with slightly more...  :beaming-face

And now for something completely different.  We have a lot of movie music here, and a couple of years ago I was floored by the actual theme music to a programme we were starting to watch.  It got under my skin, in a very spooky way.  Here it is:


...the way those notes slide around... and just the whole composition...

Yeah it's okay as "background music", but for me it's not really a Waterboys song, it's more like Mike Scott experimenting a bit with drum loops...

Much better is this one, my fave from the new album:

Here's one that meant a lot to me as a young graduate coming out of university, on my first professional job, trying to find my place in the world.  As there was a lot of fieldwork with this job, I did a lot of driving, and this just went so well with the parched countryside and where I was at personally.

I still love this song.

Well, I'm certainly getting an education here.  Like in non-English-language contemporary music.  I like that French thing, @dsanchez, though of course I've no idea what he's talking about - and maybe ignorance is bliss, as is often the case!  ;)  And @Ulrich, that's quite a band there - I've not heard any German-language stuff since some early 80s song about burning down the school, before we left.  - I translated for Brett, and he says he very much identifies with the line, "Main thing is that they leave me alone!" :rofl

I'm still not sure what to do with the like button on this forum.  I'd hate to think occasionally pressing "like" on a song implies I loathe every other song posted.  Perhaps I'd better stop using the like button...

Brett's got one for this - was listening to it when commuting last week - "helluva voice" says he.  I'd not heard this, and have to say I agree with him.  Wow...


PS:  This was my favourite track from The Corrs, whose instrumental stuff I really liked for its infectious energy:

Stereolab ...loving this song

Oh wow, what a coincidence that Stereolab just did an interview published in the Guardian and this is what Lætitia Sadier said about this song:

The lyrics to Ketchup's opening song, Metronomic Underground, are appropriately meditative, and ponder the infinite. "The purer the connection you have to the universe, the more things are going to flow in your life," she says. "And of course, the struggle is that there's a system out there that doesn't want you to connect to the universe or the forces of nature, because if you do so you're empowered and you're going to buy less shit."
👏👏👏

I'm jealous to anyone in New Mexico next week as they are playing at Meow Wolf, an awesome little mindbending avant-garde art space ....that's bound to be great

I'd never actually seen this clip, @MeltingMan, though I have the album from way back! :)  I love how they really didn't give a damn if anyone thought this was an embarrassing topic to sing about, they just were who they were.  Of course, a lot of people thought it was about a girl...

Leap forward 16 years to a completely different type of song:


I wasn't sure about that stuff when it first came out, and I still don't like the multimedia live stuff they did back then, but a lot of the material grew on me retrospectively, when I'd gotten over U2 sounding postmodern...

This next song (same album) gets an award from me for capturing a mood:


Not always easy to write about this and get it right, but I think this one ticks all the boxes...

RIP Maestro. Here one of his classics (translation in English below):


QuoteLies are all lies
things that people say,
say that this love is forbidden
that I'm forty and you're twenty.

That I am autumn in your life
and you are sweet spring,
but they don't know that I keep a summer
and when I look at you, it burns you.

Forty-twenty,
forty and twenty,
it's love that matters and not what people say.
forty and twenty,
forty and twenty,
Take my hand, walk with me,
looking straight ahead

It does not matter that they do not understand me
and that they talk behind my back
that there is a big difference,
that I'm forty and you're twenty.

That I have many experiences
and you have so much innocence,
They do not know that our secret
It's your youth and my experience.

Thanks for speaking out. My brother did this - at 40-something, had a fling with his 21-year-old secretary while married to someone else.  Got her pregnant, huge downstream effect on yet another generation that's going to have to deal with the fallout of someone else's crap.  I was the only person in my family of origin who thought there was anything wrong with that - I feel it's unbelievably unethical for a middle-aged male employer, who's automatically in a power position, to make advances on a young female employee, whether or not that was happily received.  The employer has duty of care, the same way a teacher has duty of care.  It would have been better had that at least happened outside of an employer-employee relationship, and without one of them being married.  But it would still leave the questionable issue of men visiting their midlife crises on young women.  If a 40-year-old woman goes off with a 20-year-old man, people usually think quite differently about that.  And I personally wouldn't even dream of doing so, it would feel like paedophilia to me.

I'm not saying that it's never OK to love across a big age gap.  I am saying that it becomes a bit more palatable when the younger of them isn't barely out of school and actually has some life experience.  Also, the last two lines of that song just make me want to throw up.  Sorry, but they really do...

On the 20th anniversary of David Bowie's 'hours...' album I've been revisiting it today. Of note is that it was co-written by Reeves Gabriel.
This album is one I initially didn't like much, though over the years it's grown on me, and I've been struck by how it seems to need some time and many listens to really be digested (that's my experience of it anyway).  I'm grateful for that as it feels like I'm still able to listen and discover something new here, something I hadn't yet experienced in it.

Anyway, this track wasn't included on the album but is..wow! I could have this track on repeat for the rest of my life and I'd be in bliss...

Title: Re: Currently Listening to

@SueC I'm sure I will re-visit that Waterboys song (& the whole album) soon, because when I look back on the year 2000, there's 2 important albums that spring to mind (there were more, but those 2 are the "essence"): The Waterboys "Rock in the weary land" and The Cure's "Bloodflowers".

Ah yes I recall singles, though never bought many. Would either get the album or try tape the single off the radio ...gosh how long ago that was.
With Spotify, YouTube etc the album (or indeed almost any album) can be easily accessed nowadays. This album may particularly be of interest to Cure fans given it marks the conclusion of Bowie's creative collaboration with Reeves Gabrels.

...a not so subtle dig at my earlier comment? Combined with DSanchez discussing turntables I feel a point is being made in a rather sly way 😉

Its funny how streaming has transformed how music can be experienced. I don't think it needs to be an either/or situation though.  I have a turntable, and my favourite albums are on vinyl and I frequently listen to them when I'm at home. Meanwhile I also like the convenience of Spotify (or similar) for when I'm on the move, or wanting to check out some music I'm not familiar with.
With some music I find it hard to listen to anything other than vinyl ...Pink Floyd most notably. I also find The Head On The Door feels much nicer when listening on vinyl.

So how about others?  Other than Ulrich seeking out the elusive CD singles 😆😜) I wonder what other formats people listen to music on?

 :smth023   :cool

I like listening to new things via streaming/youtube/whatever. I'm not on "Spotify" though. Streaming is good for giving something a quick listen in the vein of "is this anything at all for me?".
I was sometimes surprised how good an album sounded when I listened to the cd on my stereo - much, much better than yt (etc.)!

Last "stream" I did was this "global premiere" of Nick Cave's new album, probably won't buy it though. Not what I need at the moment...

This is both listening and watching - the pack contains both a CD for listening, and the DVD version of the actual gig.  I've liked this outfit for decades - it's something different for me, as I don't live in certain parts of the US.  You couldn't describe what they do as atmospheric, but it draws from some really interesting musical traditions, and Daryl Hall can really really sing, the same way Kate Pierson from the B-52s can really really sing.  (And all the backing singers here are a total treat as well, and aren't normally just backing singers either! :))

What I enjoy most about these guys is the way they all perform on a stage together, and interact with the audience.  They are all supremely competent, and they're all multi-instrumentalists.  They're laid-back, relaxed, warm, effusive, and completely into their music, and you can see how they all bounce off each other and really appreciate each other, and ditto how they bounce off the crowd and really appreciate them.  The whole thing feels like it's happening in someone's living room - they've even got the kind of rugs on the stage you'd have in a living room, instead of rubber mats and industrial carpeting - you can see that in the second song.  There's no, "I'm a rock star, worship me!" thing going on here - it's just people making music, people listening to music, everyone enjoying the process. :cool

This was filmed 5 years ago; Hall and Oates were both 67-ish, their saxophonist is a venerable Gandalf (and plays wonderfully), everyone looks and sounds amazing and like they totally should be on the stage - flying in the face of the silly age-ism often mooted in music culture (presumably by the embryos and insecure people).  By the way, these people all embody the concept that the best face-lift of them all is a smile. :)

The first song is a metaphor about New York City, by the way (and probably women like that exist too, and if you've had to deal with any, you should be allowed to write about it; as is true whatever gender).  Watch out for the sax/guitar duet - and watch the body language while you're there!  :)

I had another listen to this Australian classic little known outside our country today, and as always, the lyrics made my hair stand on end.  It's the story of one man's experience of WW2 - with a twist.  The Australian accent is deliberately broad here to get in character, and people not used to it may want the lyrics:

They also did an interesting song about the perils of shiftwork, featuring Trish Young from The Clouds.

I suppose I better post a song.  Although 'tis a re-post...


Gloriously noisy, with excellent lyrics... which on the live track you can actually hear.  The studio version uses all sorts of voice distortion, which sounds great in the context but does make the lyrics hard to access.  (OK, maybe I do need a hearing aid. :angel )

Talkin' of Australian musicians, I've listened to some Australian bands over the years (Midnight Oil, Hoodoo Gurus, The Saints and more), right now my favourite Australian musician is Hugo Race (here with an Italian backing band, but apparently he's working on a new album with "The True Spirit", his Australian band):

(Must check my concert list, I've no idea when exactly... Edit: it happened on Nov. 18th, 1998!)
From memory, they sounded a bit like the Beasts of Bourbon (a bit "softer"), I do remember the song "Honeymoon is over"!
Title: Re: Currently Listening to
Post by: SueC on December 04, 2019, 00:08:28
Oh, excellent! :)  Brett says the reason they sound a bit like Beasts of Bourbon is that Tax Perkins is the lead singer of both.  BoB predates The Cruel Sea.  :cool

He's currently listening to:


If any of you saw House, this really goes with the main character, and I'm sure this wasn't lost on Hugh Laurie.  Not all the songs on the album are this naughty - and it's a very well put together album with a lot of mood.

This is going to stick out like a sore thumb on a Cure forum, but I really enjoy a lot of things this artist does - and it's to do with the landscape we live in, in Australia, similar to America with its wide open spaces, so this music works in both countries because of the sense of place it conveys.  Here's a little parody I'm listening to a lot at the moment - and I think the video sends up another music video from around that time - anyone want to guess which one?


Another song of the same ilk... and I know at least one person here will appreciate this one:

I was thinking, "I like this, and particularly the drumming on this!" and then I found out who the drummer was!  :lol:  Interesting line-up:

"We are The Rhynes.
It's pronouced "reens".... :)

Vocals, guitar, piano, organ, bass, harmonica, tambourine: Joe Atkinson
Drums: Special guests."


...but in this case, the special guest has made appearances here before...

...couldn't find out anything about Joe Atkinson's musical history because there are too many Joe Atkinsons and I'm sure he's not the gospel singer with the ministry... anything you can tell us, @Ulrich?

Well I know him as a member of the band "Flipron" (currently on hiatus, I believe), apparently he also plays with the Neville Staple band and Donovan. The Rhynes is probably his "solo project". (?)

He himself shared this video with a Facebook group, I immediately liked the title (fits this time of year - at least here in Europe) and the mood of it. (And of course the drumming by an old mate...)

Here is a bit of a "twangy guitar off beat spaghetti-ska number" by his band feat. Neville Staple:

(P.S.: You might find out that this song was mixed by someone whose name you're familiar with as a Cure fan: Dave M. Allen)

Do you know, @Ulrich, I kept getting cognitive dissonance when I first started reading about The Cure and there was continuous reference to a Dave Allen...

Love the Saint-Saëns! :)  Nice version.  Thanks also for the multicultural tour.  :cool

Here's a fun piece, same composer:



And in keeping with the general theme:


This last one is a long one, which I tend to run in the background when I have things to occupy my hands.  If you're short of time, just sample a couple of minutes from the start of each movement:

Schubert: String Quartet No. 14 "Death and The Maiden"
Meridian Ensemble String Quartet

I. Allegro 0:15
II. Andante con moto 12:05
III. Scherzo Allegro molto 27:02
IV. Presto 31:40

For those who don't know the background to this piece, it's a poem that was set to music.  The composer had a great deal of personal experience of death, and even though it was written well before the more recent formal concept of the stages of grief, it's got the whole lot in musical form - denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance; plus actual happiness - and as in real life, often mixed in with each other!  ;)

On another thread, @piggymirror, you were talking about tears in musical form - this piece does that very well at the start of the second movement - then anger, bargaining etc return.  The last movement of this piece is often called the Dance of Death.

Above all, this is just beautiful, expressive music. :heart-eyes

It wasn't the rain that washed away
Rinsed out the colours of your eyes
Putting the gun down on the bedside table
I must have realized

It wasn't the rain
That made no difference
And I could have sworn it wasn't me
Yet I did it all so coldly, almost slowly
Plain for all to see

Oh c'mon please now
Talk to me
Tell me things I could find helpful
How can I stop now
Is there nothing I can do
I have lost my way
I've been losing you

I can still hear our screams competing
Hissing your s's like a snake
Now in the mirror stands half a man
I thought no one could break

It wasn't the rain
That made no difference
Nervously drumming on 'Run away'
But I want the guilt to get me
Thoughts to wreck me
Preying on my mind

Please now
Talk to me
Tell me things I could find helpful
For how can I stop now
Is there nothing I can do
I have lost my way
I've been losing you

It's hot and the nectarines and plums need to come off the trees today.  I've got one bucket of the former and two buckets of Satsumas, and the Mariposa plum to go later when the UV dies down.  Because of stone fruit harvest (plus stewing, sauce-making etc), Brett put an Audreys CD of his I'd not yet listened to on my iPod yesterday - this South Australian folk/roots outfit is just the thing for that sort of work. (However, if I get the lawnmower out later, it'll be Paris again... oddly enough I can't seem to mow lawn without listening to Paris... :angel)

The Riot Squad-Little Toy Soldier

This is of course David Bowie.
It is interesting because the song contains quotes from The Velvet Underground's Venus In Furs... to be released the following year!!
Bowie (correct me if I'm wrong) got an acetate before the first VU album got released, and was so blown away by it that he instantly became a huge fan of VU, so much that he went and released this and Waiting For The Man himself, EARLIER than the proper VU & Nico album was released (!!!!!).
Never heard anything like this from anybody else.

The Riot Squad (David Bowie)-Waiting For The Man
Incredibly, this one, the Bowie version, was the first version of the song to be released...




HOWEVER...

This other one, recorded in 1972 with (I guess) The Spiders From Mars (and sounding a bit like Transformer), is my absolute favourite version of the song, all Bowie and Reed versions combined:

On the train ride home today I started listening to this track, but then about half way through needed to stop. It's not a judgement on the song, just that sometimes I find I'm feeling a bit sensitive and can only stomach really gentle music. So I press stop...

And within a few minutes a busker suddenly starts playing guitar and singing (in a busy train carriage ...which NEVER from my recollection have I seen before). What does he play... David Bowie! Starts with Sorrow, then into The Man Who Sold The World

Quote from: piggymirror on January 28, 2020, 23:50:10The Riot Squad (David Bowie)-Waiting For The Man

On the train ride home today I started listening to this track, but then about half way through needed to stop. It's not a judgement on the song, just that sometimes I find I'm feeling a bit sensitive and can only stomach really gentle music. So I press stop...

And within a few minutes a busker suddenly starts playing guitar and singing (in a busy train carriage ...which NEVER from my recollection have I seen before). What does he play... David Bowie! Starts with Sorrow, then into The Man Who Sold The World

...wow!

Not long ago I was on a commuter train, and we passed a station and a lot of British tourists hopped in, the train was crowded, and suddenly three men from Eastern Europe appeared with their instruments, and started playing their music. Everybody looked a bit moody at each other like "god, please, not again"... and yet they played their thing, for a couple minutes. Everybody was looking like "hell, let it end...".

AND SUDDENLY, the begging musicians realised that the train was full of Brits...

...and they started playing "Hit The Road, Jack".

The whole train ended up singing along. Magic.

And I suspect that they earned themselves a few drinks later that night.

With all these Neil Young clips popping up, I thought, "I remember Neil Young in his 20s!" and then, "Hang on, am I old enough to remember him in his 20s?"  ...not quite. But, concerts get repeated on TV, and I distinctly remember this concert, which actually was filmed the year I was born - I remember seeing bits of that when I was around 7 (thinking, "His hair is longer than mine!"), so I looked it up again.

They've cut it out here, but he explains just before this clip that this song was inspired by the old caretaker on his farm.


It's sort of ironic now to hear the young Neil Young singing about an old man, and it's insane how quickly time passes.

...and also isn't it interesting how even though the acoustic track is only singing and guitar, it seems to have a lot more variation and reach than the track posted immediately before this one?  That track sort of blurs, and has a lot of monotony in it (especially in the drumming and singing).  Horses for courses, but I've always preferred his acoustic stuff.

Well, here's a favourite track off an Appalachian folk album I bought off Bandcamp last year.  It's great for digging up your potatoes to, and doing general harvesting and sowing.  I didn't have an Appalachian album yet and really enjoy it.  Plus, the woman singing on the track happens to be a buddy off my "home forum" and it's great to discover the hidden talents of your circle of acquaintance.  I love her voice!  :heart-eyes  This is a variation of an old doomed-love song, where one person dies in tragic circumstances and parts of her get made into a fiddle that will then only play doom type music...

@piggymirror, your last video won't play, what was it?

I really like this Pixies track and am hence re-listening to it:


@Ulrich, nice choice for the 14th.  :cool  Re DTH, I don't know why it seems so weird to me to hear people singing to contemporary music in German.  To me it's like there is a greater distance between the words and the music and it doesn't blend like it does with English - or kind of like what happens with words in rap music, where people are just jabbering over music with little seeming connection to it (much more extreme in rap and one reason I generally don't like it as a genre).  I liked the guitars and the general intentions and themes of this song.  The drumming made me break out in hives - just the style, in the straight bang-bang-bang sections... Funny how music affects people in different ways.  :lol:

Here's a lovely Waterboys track which is perfect for doing boring paperwork.

It must be 30 years ago now when I first heard the Pixies (they were a big "hype" among friends back then in early 1990).

Even though I am from Germany, I tend to agree. Like I said I've not been a fan of DTH (but they're friends of a friend of mine, thus they gain some sympathies) and in my collection you won't find many bands singing in German language...
Ever since the mid-80's I have preferred English(-speaking) bands (not just The Cure, also The Damned, The Stranglers, Ramones and many more).

I don't know why it is, @Ulrich, it just seems that English sounds more mellifluous.  German has quite a harsh sound, as is lampooned here:


So I've also preferred contemporary music sung in English (French, Gaelic, Zulu etc also sound fine) to German.  I actually can't name a German-language contemporary song I really love - but plenty in other languages.  Strange, isn't it.  It's sort of the same with poetry, I think that sounds better in English than German, and I much prefer Shakespeare to Goethe etc.

And yet when you look at classical music, German composers have created so much beautiful stuff.  Here's one example, and I will post a clip of a special "live" version.  This one works even though people are singing in it!  :)

If anyone knows a better song about the human life cycle, please let me know.  :cool


DEEPER WATER

On a crowded beach in a distant time
At the height of summer see a boy of five
At the water's edge so nimble and free
Jumping over the ripples looking way out to sea

Now a man comes up from amongst the throng
Takes the young boy's hand and his hand is strong
And the child feels safe, yeah, the child feels brave
As he's carried in those arms up and over the waves

Deeper water, deeper water, deeper water, calling him on

Let's move forward now and the child's seventeen
With a girl in the back seat tugging at his jeans
And she knows what she wants, she guides with her hand
As a voice cries inside him, I'm a man, I'm a man

Deeper water, deeper water, deeper water, calling him on

Now the man meets a woman unlike all the rest
He doesn't know it yet but he's out of his depth
And he thinks he can run, it's a matter of pride
But he keeps coming back like a cork on the tide

Well, the years hurry by and the woman loves the man
Then one night in the dark she grabs hold of his hand
Says, "There, can you feel it kicking inside"
And the man gets a shiver right up and down his spine

Deeper water, deeper water, deeper water, calling him on

So the clock moves around and the child is a joy
But death doesn't care just who it destroys
Now the woman gets sick, thins down to the bone
She says, "Where I'm going next, I'm going alone"

Deeper water, deeper water

On a distant beach lonely and wild
At a later time see a man and a child
And the man takes the child up into his arms
Takes her over the breakers to where the water is calm

Deeper water, deeper water, deeper water, calling them on

I sometimes go through phases where I listen to one artist/musician almost exclusively for months. Currently I find myself completely immersed in The Magnetic Fields.

There are so many gems in the lyrics of Stephin Merritt, always makes me smile...this track has some of my favourites...

"When I was 2 and a half my mother said to me "love is funny you will laugh ...til the day you turn 3""

"Like a kitten up a tree needs a fireman to rescue it, so your fireman I will be and I'll really get into it"

The Stranglers are easily one of my all time favorite bands, but to me the cutoff point is 1983, nothing they did after Feline speaks to me. Maybe the b-side Hitman, despite some obvious imperfections in production. And one song off Hugh's first solo album, All the Tea in China.

But when they were good they were great.

I wouldn't even have someone like that (screaming, throwing stuff, breaking things :1f635:) set foot in my house for an emergency coffee, let alone voluntarily work with them... sounds like a right lunatic...

Music is great for overcoming psychological "I don't wanna" situations, and turning them into routine (sans "I don't wanna" eventually, because it's all like going in the water - it's the getting in that's the worst part and after that it's fine!).  :smth023

Title: Re: Currently Listening to

Well, I think this is a style of music few people here would be habitually listening to, but since I'm giving everything here a go, even extremely synthy music which I generally dislike (although a miracle happened and I actually genuinely liked a Depeche Mode song the other day), I'm going to post what I'm listening to anyway...

I probably wouldn't have become drawn to this if I'd stayed in Europe, but if you live in a land of wide-open spaces it changes your sensibilities etc.  Therefore, a lot of John Mellencamp's work appealed to me from within a few years of coming to this country.  Yes, Mellencamp is American, but from a similar agricultural landscape to the one I was experiencing in Australia, and when I was driving through or working in areas with broadacre agriculture, the music, and the sentiments behind it too (usually), really fitted, similarly to how Neil Young's acoustic stuff fitted into the same sort of situations.

It's interesting to have an American leftie from farm / rural roots - this guy isn't a hippie, he's quite conventional in some ways. This was the first song of his that really blew me away, as a teenager, not only because of its searing critique of America, but because his metaphor referenced the link between what happens in the microcosm of a family, and the macrocosm of wider society.


As I was re-listening to this album today, a song came up that really fits our current situation with COVID-19 as well...


If you think the backing vocalist on that track sounds vaguely familiar, it's Rickie Lee Jones.

How on earth...?  :1f62e:  I thought of "The Ladder" yesterday!!

Quote from: SueC on April 02, 2020, 11:08:12Well, I think this is a style of music few people here would be habitually listening to, but since I'm giving everything here a go, even extremely synthy music which I generally dislike (although a miracle happened and I actually genuinely liked a Depeche Mode song the other day), I'm going to post what I'm listening to anyway...

That's what this topic is here for!!  :smth023

Maybe you would, he sold lots of records here in the 1980s.
I only know some of his best-known songs.

In this style - maybe "American (folk) rock music" - I prefer others, e.g. Springsteen (but I don't own many of his albums).

The simple explanation is that it's an excellent song... and that therefore one simply has to think of it... ;)

Or perhaps were you doing some painting? :angel

Yeah, hard to say exactly, but the thing that's weird for me is that I generally associate music with landscapes, and that's part of how it works for me.  To like Mellencamp as a European, I'd have had to like his music purely mechanically, and/or because I like the texts he writes.  But here, and especially when I was working with a farming community as a new graduate, the music is really cinematic... and it really fits.  :)  So then it was a foregone conclusion that I was going to like it...

I liked maybe a couple of his songs, but generally not a fan, and wrote a parody piece on Springsteen for my Year 12 English as a high schooler.  I wish I could scan it and post it, but alas, it's not in this house.  We had to design covers for hypothetical albums by existing artists and then discuss these albums (cover and music) in some way, shape or form.  I made a spoof cover depicting the front of his jeans at crotch level, explaining (pretending to be Springsteen and writing from his point of view) that the fans had already seen his posterior on Born In The USA and that this had been such a success for boosting album sales that it made perfect sense to now give them the front view as well, which everybody knew housed his wedding tackle, and that this was expected to be an even greater success.  :beaming-face

Also I made much of the fact that he had millions in the bank but the fans knew he was really so, so working class...  :evil:

It was very thoughtful of our teacher to set us such a fine exercise!   :smth023

Title: Re: Currently Listening to
Post by: SueC on April 05, 2020, 01:39:54
You lucky thing, having a Gaelic name.  Mine is Hebrew and means - wait for it - "white lily" bwahahahahaha!  :lol:  Could have been worse, I suppose.  I once taught a 13-year-old girl who was seriously named "Bambi" and when I eventually asked her if there was a story behind her name, she said, "Yes.  My parents are stupid."  :rofl

Holding up OK at this place, hope you're holding up OK up in Scotland.

Re the Gaelic song, Karen Matheson's voice is so beautiful it leaves me breathless.  My all-time favourite singing voice...  I've seen Capercaillie live in our little town twice now and they are all-round excellent... I even had an accidental chat with Karen Matheson when I bumped into her in the arts centre toilets, of all places, during interval, imagine that, meeting one of your all-time favourite singers in the toilet... thank goodness I'm a grown-up and have composure and a good-manners autopilot...

Here's another wonderful song she sings...


You guys in Scotland are like a musical hotspot.  Do you think that's in part because the climate forces you to spend so much time indoors?  (As well as that people were always trying to take your land away etc...)

Thanks! I remembered something about them covering Young at Heart but didn't know about this medley.

It's not surprising, Robert often spoke about being a huge fan of Sinatra, citing this compilation (https://www.discogs.com/Frank-Sinatra-20-Golden-Greats/release/3301104) in particular, which I can warmly recommend as well, it's great!

Mozart's Requiem is an interesting listen.  Here's my two favourite sections (but the whole thing is worth listening to in its entirety).

The Confutatis - found a really useful YT video with scrolling score:


...and the Lacrimosa...this is as it was used in Mozart's death scene in the movie Amadeus, and I couldn't stop crying when I first saw that because the combination of the music with the way that scene was filmed was just so powerful, like it stood in for all the heartbreak in the world...


Many years later, the director of our little recreational choir in town got really ambitious and decided to have a go at the Requiem with us.  We were never going to be superb at this, but I tell you, just the attempting of it was an unbelievable experience... ♥

I was just throwing old stuff away, and I saw that name on one of the pages of a music mag.
Chrysta Bell.
Hmm...
That name...
Then I saw her name connected to David Lynch and David J.
So "something" told me that I wouldn't be doing anything wrong if I looked for some songs of hers.
And no, it's not bad at all, for now. I'll tell you more later, for now I'm on the 3rd song only.
That said, I've been having internet problems for two days in a row now, so I'm not sure it's likely that I'll be able to connect again today.

Cactus World News, from 1986 in Ireland - listed influences include The Ramones, The Clash, Talking Heads, The Waterboys, U2, and REM.


Bought this album (Urban Beaches) when it came out - actually had to import it from the UK, which made it twice the cost of a normal CD back then.  I love the cascading cymbals on this song.  Until this morning I always saw the "Cactus" part as a botanical thing - but today I woke up thinking, "Hello, if you use the colloquial meaning, you'd actually have something like Broken World Newspaper..."

The closing track off that is one of my favourite instrumentals of all time... it's called Cashen Bay Strand - typo in YT... (da hat jemand die Wechsstaben verbuchselt, @Ulrich, @MeltingMan, and @Matti ;))

I'm always keen to hear string arrangements of Bach's Toccata & Fugue and have just found another fabulous one.  In fact, it's the best string rendition of that I've heard in my life, and we've sampled the album it's off and are ordering it...


Please please please listen to this on a good system with proper bass, not a tinny device speaker...


PS:  Originally written for organ, lovely version here which my husband happened to have in his collection when I married him (bonus! :heart-eyes), all tinkling glass bells:


...about ten years ago, we were holidaying in Tasmania and went sightseeing into an old church in Launceston, where we found the organist at practice.  We sat and listened and he started talking to us, so we asked him if he could play some of Bach's Toccata & Fugue.  His eyes lit up and we're going to remember him playing that for the rest of our lives!  :cool

Depeche Mode, even through their cheesiest phase, did hint at greatness.

This came out in 1982. It must be one of the most unbalanced singles ever.

The Meaning Of Love, the A-side, is their most teenage-oriented single, by far.
Like the French say, "on aime ou on n'aime pas".




Yet this is Oberkorn (It's A Small Town), its B-side.
Could have been on Low or Heroes. Absolutely fantastic, I love it.

Anyone else here do outdoors stuff with an iPod?  (Brett tells me most people are now using their phones instead but I refuse to be tied to a phone, it stays in the house, thank you very much, and I haven't upgraded my phone in ten years, and have no desire to be doing any Internet stuff on a tiny screen either - laptops are much nicer.)

Anyway, I recently started playing songs in alphabetical order, which gives me a nice mix of the artists in the collection - a combination of my stuff and Brett's stuff.  When I started out with the iPod I was just borrowing Brett's, and putting it on random play gave me what I called "Brett-FM" - now I have my own (second-hand, refurbished because I dislike causing things to be manufactured if I can buy recycled things instead) - and a mix of my own music and "Brett-FM" so I still get a lot of surprises.

Today I was up to "H" and here's some of my favourite stuff from today's "programme":














This next one I really have to recommend to anyone who's not heard it.  It's an extremely naughty song from an Australian band (with an American singer by the name of Tex Perkins).  We've got a lot of their stuff and think half the time Perkins is hamming it and tongue in cheek. :lol:



This next one was a surprise "new thing" for me - I thought it was excellent.






This last one is really beautiful... I had both versions, but the acoustic has such gorgeous singing...


...that was about a third of the playlist, but it's a nice mix of genres in case anyone is sick of listening to the radio and wants to hear all sorts of stuff. :)

About 35 years ago I heard this for the first time. Back then I did not even know what "gothic music" was, but I guess that was my first encounter with it (I just liked the "dark" athmosphere, the thunder, the church organ...)

I actually really love the song Candy because of the wonderful intertwining of those two voices.  I just had difficulty pressing "like" on the video. Bare-chested white men doing music always turns me off - but totally OK with that if it's indigenous performers and music - different cultural connotations.  In contemporary music, it's got the same effect on me as Madonna writhing around on the floor in what she thinks is a suggestive manner... 🤮

I'm through the letter "I" - some highlights:

Starting with one of my favourite voices of all time doing another piece of music so beautiful it can make you cry... the video on this is distorted, but the sound is worth it...


The Split Enz (band from NZ) breakup song:


The mostly teenage U2 - and I still think the album this is off is one of the best debuts ever:


Sadly missed by me:


When Icehouse were called The Flowers, and why they are now called Icehouse... one of two songs of theirs I actually like...


I can't think of many songs by this artist I don't like.  This one as written around the time of her divorce.  Great lyrics, as always.


One of our favourite Cure tracks. ♥


Probably my favourite song on a sexual theme - a topic that's not necessarily easy to write well about.  This one avoids cliché, too much information, and crassness - and is gorgeously poetic.  The music matches the lyrics extraordinarily well...


(How's that one for ya, @word_on_a_wing?  ;))

Not only consistently a great lyricist, but also consistently fabulous live:


A total gem I only discovered this week, by listening to an iPod which also has my husband's music on it (I'm still getting surprises because there's so much music there...):


This song came up just as we were pulling into Fisheries Beach, to do the Point Possession hike yesterday. Quite a few friendly people and their dogs were getting exercise out on the point, all keeping distance.  This song really works for this current context of the pandemic:


An inspirational track, which also suits the same current situation - love the extra-big drum sound on the album version - always seemed to be a feature of Steve Lillywhite productions:


...Big Country are really an electrified folk band, which works fabulously if you ask me. I love how they took their heritage and amplified it - and how they played bagpipe-inspired guitar. You can always hear their love of their beautiful landscape in their music. ♥  So sad that Stuart Adamson didn't make it to my age...

Next... cute socks!  ;)


Another nice one by Nick Cave:


For those who don't know the back story, this singer lost his mother Iris at age 14, wasn't exactly nurtured by his father, and appears, going by some of the songs about it, to have been blamed by his father for her death (of a brain aneurysm, after collapsing at her own father's funeral)....


More goosebumps-inducing metaphors:


Finishing with Christine Anu's lovely cover of the Warumpi Band's Island Home - one of Australia's real anthems...


I don't actually give a flying fish about music history; the primary reason I will love a song is because it speaks to me, and because I find it beautiful, and/or humorous, and/or thought-provoking, and because of the values represented in it, and because it helps me be a better person (and not all of the songs in this selection do that, but I often like things that fulfil at least some of these criteria).  A great song speaks to my head and my heart and also usually makes me want to either sing or move.  I don't like cold, sterile stuff, or bangy, screechy, overcrowded stuff, or self-consciously "I'm so clever" stuff, or thoughtless stuff.  Life's too short.

Post by: BiscuityBoyle on April 24, 2020, 16:20:06
Eno's song in the above post is set to Triadisches Ballett, a Bauhaus classic from 1922, the original music for which was written by Paul Hindemith, who happens to be my favorite German composer of the 20th century. Without further ado, a Hindemith classic masterfully rendered by Sviatoslav Richter.

@SueC For Iggy, that was pretty "normal", i.e. I don't think I've seen many photos of his with a shirt on!  :lol:

He's also the one to look at when it comes to "proto-punk" (1970):

Iggy rules so much, still performing shirtless into his 70s (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-6944691/Iggy-Pop-performs-shirtless-72nd-birthday-Melbourne-wraps-Australian-tour.html)... Dude rocks harder than anyone's ever rocked.

12540046-0-image-a-4_1555855059493.jpg

The Stooges were indeed hugely influential, not just Iggy but also the great Ron Asheton on guitar. I guess my favorite album will always be the first one, the sheer power beggars belief:


This track is another of my all time favorites



And of course the Bowie-produced and co-written The Idiot is a postpunk monument... Proper legend.

The thing with Eno is that he developed a sound resembling what today we understand as postpunk already in the early-to-mid 1970s. These things are never linear and always happening in parallel.

Yeah, I did not mean to talk down his influence on punk (& new wave, postpunk etc.)!!
It's just when I think of "proto-punk" it's The Stooges & MC5 which come to mind (plus other 60's garage stuff).

Amid a completely heartbreaking album cataloging extreme human tragedies including child abuse, addiction, suicide etc, this series of musings about men of good fortune vs men of poor beginnings somehow manages to be the single saddest song for me. Something about life's ironclad determinism that only seems to be vindicated however you invert it...


Men of good fortune, often cause empires to fall
While men of poor beginnings, often can't do anything at all
The rich son waits for his father to die
The poor just drink and cry
And me I just don't care at all

Men of good fortune, very often can't do a thing
While men of poor beginnings, often can do anything
At heart they try to act like a man
Handle things the best way they can
They have no rich daddy to fall back on

Men of good fortune, often cause empires to fall
While men of poor beginnings, often can't do anything at all
It takes money to make money they say
Look at the Fords, but didn't they start that way
Anyway, it makes no difference to me

Men of good fortune, often wish that they could die
While men of poor beginnings want what they have
And to get it they'll die
All those great things that life has to give
They want to have money and live
But me, I just don't care at all

Men of good fortune
Men of poor beginnings

You won't believe it, but Sepultura were probably inspired by this song.
I wonder what happened to Sepultura, it's like they vanished... Some of their stuff was effing good.

Btw, if I'm not mistaken, this is the Brazilian style called "forró".
It's not samba or bossa. I think it's typical from the Brazilian Northeast.
You can tell the African influence.

Quote from: undefinedThurston Moore of Sonic Youth recalls, "I found Ege Bamyası in the 49-cent bin at Woolworth's. I didn't see anything written about Can, I didn't know anything about them except this okra can on the cover, which seemed completely bizarre. I finally picked that record up, and I completely wore it out. It was so alluring. Something about it made Can seem to be playing outside of rock 'n' roll. It was unlike anything else I was hearing at the time."

The emphasized bit is why I think Can was SO important for countless New Wave bands, from The Fall to Throbbing Gristle to Sonic Youth. "f*ck Robert Palmer and f*ck rock 'n' roll" etc.

Ulrich,

the last thing I want is to challenge your authority as moderator. You're very good at it. However, it seems to me that this rigid demarcation of what can be said in which thread can reach a point where it's not particularly conducive to interesting discussions being conducted. A conversation worth having typically involves not only the kind of digressions and off-topics you would rule as permissible; but it can end up in wholly unexpected places. Maybe the supposed topic of discussion is only the pretext, and the real topic is something else entirely etc. IMHO the impositions of a priori restrictions on the range of discussion is a significant reason (obviously, not the only one and not the main one) why message boards have grown obsolete.

If this forum had hundreds of active users, all gung-ho and argumentative, then this kind of mod activity would have been necessary. As it is, there's a small group of users who are all adults, and are not prone to spamming, flooding, ad hominems and all the other cardinal sins of message boards. Thus, sometimes when rules are breached, it's worth to let the discussion flow - as I see it, there's more to lose by restricting it than by allowing it.

All of this is to say that I am genuinely curious why Sue felt that my apparently "innocent" (in reality nothing is innocent!) remark about Bjork was nasty. There are many possible interpretations and they're all interesting. For example, there's a view (which I take seriously) that to praise is to patronize: who am I to say that Dante is a great poet etc! Not saying this is it, just one random possible interpretation. Or maybe Sue has some general grievance with my posts here - this is also interesting and should, imho, be opened up. Does it really matter that it's in the "currently listening" thread?

Thanks for the understanding.

What I'm currently listening to is this piece by Stravinsky as conducted by Bernstein. Now Stravinsky - that's a great composer! And don't get me started on Bernstein as an interpreter of Russian modernism.

So I can see that apologies are in order, @BiscuityBoyle, and I'm sorry I misinterpreted what you said.  Here's how it came across to me:  Had Debut been the only thing she's ever done (and she'd stopped recording albums after that), she'd still be among the all time greats (but now she's not).

Now I do wish there was a mild interpretation for that clanger you dropped about Jason Cooper the other day on the Banshees thread ("no point carrying on with someone like Jason"), and what Robert Smith should and shouldn't do, that I bit my tongue about.  That's the sort of stuff that I've read at regular intervals from you, along with what "is best and greatest" - and it has wearied me, and therefore I would have been unsurprised if you'd meant the Bjork comment the way I read it (which you didn't).  I enjoy listening to and discussing music with others, but I really don't enjoy personal denigrations like this, or people thinking they know better than someone in a band what they should and shouldn't have done as a band (i.e. armchair criticism, backseat driving etc).  I read a lot of opining like that on Reddit and didn't enjoy it there either - all those BS comments on how The Cure ought to have packed it in after whatever someone's favourite line-up was changed.  It's so asinine... I really enjoy what they do now, and so do lots of other people - not that popularity is a measure of quality, but I think they have a truckload of quality to them as they are now, in terms of everyone's musicianship, live performances, etc, and it's actually possible to really like The Cure's music even just based on albums they've put out in the last 20 years, and if they'd done nothing else ever, and it's so sneery to be carrying on like they've done nothing worthwhile since "the good old days."

And it would be really lovely to have "Currently Listening" as a thread where we can appreciate songs and explore new songs, not as some kind of lecture on the best and greatest.  I do acknowledge that you're starting to word things differently in recent times, and thank you for that.  It makes me far more inclined to listen to the tracks you post - and I've enjoyed quite a few of those, and hope to enjoy some more.

Apologies for the off-topic, @Ulrich - I'm genuinely sorry I mistook what @BiscuityBoyle said about Bjork, but there was a context in which that happened.  (And I really don't want to PM about this, it's better in the open, but feel free to delete it after it's been read.)

And this is the last song I listened to:

Indeed. Words should help appreciate music, not alienate from it. To that end, from now on I'll introduce the music I love - in this case, Copland's Piano Variations - with the well-chosen words of musicologists and critics more capable than myself.

This is from Alex Ross, whose The Rest Is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century is a book that inspires one to listen and explore as few books I've read do.

Quote from: undefinedThe Piano Variations of 1930 is a monolithic masterpiece that threatens to surpass the ultra-modern school of Várese and Ruggles in the relentlessness of its attack. It is based on a broadly gesticulating four-note motif— E, C, D-sharp, C-sharp an octave above— that Copland probably extracted from the slow movement of Stravinsky's Octet. The theme is subjected to an astringent sequence of permutations that at times approaches twelve-tone writing. By the end, the music is heading in a tonal direction: grand triads of A major and E major ring out in the treble, though with sharp dissonances attached. A new American harmony, brash and bluesy, grows from primordial chaos.

And this is what one Leonard Bernstein had to say about it:

QuoteA synonym for modern music—so prophetic, harsh and wonderful, and so full of modern feeling and thinking

No thanks. I said it before: this is about "currently listening". It's not about "music theory" or what others think about the music you love. (Feel free to post it, but I won't read much of it.)

Well said. That's what this topic is there for. Anyone wanting to tell us about "all time greats" is free to start a topic on that...

I'm sorry to have to tell you that I laughed about this latest instalment of your terrible guitar pop, @Ulrich!  :winking_tongue

Here's some of my own:


PS:  Beware!  The next instalment on the lugubrious letter "L" is coming soon!  :yum:  :angel  :evil:  :1f635:

Post by: SueC on May 09, 2020, 14:10:19
OK, the letter "L" is very generous, here's another 10 highlights...

This first one is a bit unusual for me, because I don't like a lot of overly electronic music (there are exceptions, such as Jean-Michel Jarre), but here's a song from an artist Brett originally heard on Triple J and decided to try out, which I've taken a bit of a shine to when it appeared on the playlist.  By the way, the singer is a descendant of Herman Melville, who wrote Moby Dick.


Something laid-back from Sharon Shannon:


Capercaillie frequently make it into my highlights list - gorgeous playing and singing, and their strong sense of history and place:


Nina Simone is on the mixed playlist, courtesy of Brett, and has been in the highlights for me before with that killer breakup song she wrote called I'm Gonna Leave You.  This is a completely different type of song, and a cover, but so incredibly well done... even the wistful use of the Christmas carol...


The Yeah Yeah Yeahs: I like quite a few songs by this outfit - again, this is Brett's stuff.  He says he picked this band up from an alternative radio station who featured their debut as "album of the week" - really liked it, and saw them in concert when they toured the album - excellent gig, he recalls.


The next band is again from Brett's collection.  While I'm not totally crazy about that style of music, I think it's very competent, and has great lyrics:


The next band, I've always kind of liked, and Brett happened to have a lot of their albums, which is nice.  Aaaaand... they're from Albany originally, which is the town in whose hinterland we now live - so these are our "locals" - our 84-year-old friend Bill even sold a car of his to their singer.


Here's something totally different, which I also like:


More Waterboys - they do such a diversity of music... this is from the Fisherman's Blues sessions...


The last highlight for today is from South Australian band The Audreys, who were also on the soundtrack for Rain Shadow, and I love this song...


Happy Sunday, everyone. :)

I have a few more "L" highlights...

Just to make this more interesting, rather than posting the studio version as on the iPod, I found a festival clip on YT of Big Country performing Look Away all the way back in 1986.  Isn't it funny how people who looked so terribly grown up to you when you were a teenager, look so unbelievably fresh-faced to us now!  :lol:

I love Stuart Adamson's little visit into the audience around 8 minutes in, on the second track on this clip.  Wonderful moment and great leveller.  :cool


Paul Kelly doing a song about being in the wrong kind of relationship:


I was going to have REM's Losing My Religion next, because I rather like it despite of the fact that it won a Grammy award.  But then I found this modern take which is sooo topical!  Enjoy!  :rofl


The next song is by a young singer who has really been impressing me - she was brought to my attention by a friend who sent me her song GoldenLost Boy is another gorgeous track, both the singing and the story... for anyone who's ever been on the "outside" for any reason, and who remembers being young, I'd recommend this.


I still like this artist - this song came out when I was in senior high school, and was my intro to his music.  I thought it was excellent to hear an adult saying, "There's noone else to blame - noone else than my sweet self..." - always a good thing when adults are honest about stuff like this instead of pretending to be some kind of unassailable, perfect grown-up...


My total favourites from the L-list are the next two songs; they mean so much to me and they're so incredibly well put together as well...

The first one is by The Cure and just floored me when I first heard it.  The whole album did, it's my favourite Cure album; and many songs on it leap out at me for different reasons.  This particular one is just such an eloquent piece on a "dead" relationship... and funnily enough, I've read YT comments that went, "Oh, this song is about a wonderful relationship!"  Not in my book... maybe you have to grow up in the misery of a family where the marriage is dead to really feel this song in your bone marrow.  My parents were a different kind of dead as the people in this song, but no matter what sort of dead, it's still sad... 


The instrumentation on that is just so superb - the music goes so wonderfully with the words.  Is anyone else hearing the bell tolling, in the guitar?  And thinking, Ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tools for thee?

I could write and write about this song, but will have to postpone that to a time where I might get around to Bloodflowers on the Back Catalogue thread - not here.  :)

OK, and another one in that league for me is this track by The Waterboys... setting Yeats to music, and so exquisitely well...


LOVE AND DEATH

WB Yeats

Behold the flashing waters
A cloven dancing jet
That from the milk-white marble
For ever foam and fret;
Far off in drowsy valleys
Where the meadow saffrons blow
The feet of summer dabble
In their coiling calm and slow
The banks are worn forever
By a people sadly gay:
A Titan with loud laughter
Made them of fire clay
Go ask the springing flowers
And the flowing air above
What are the twin-born waters
And they'll answer Death and Love

With wreaths of withered flowers
Two lonely spirits wait
With wreaths of withered flowers
'Fore paradise's gate
They may not pass the portal
Poor earth-enkindled pair
Though sad is many a spirit
To pass and leave them there
Still staring at their flowers
That dull and faded are
If one should rise beside thee
The other is not far
Go ask the youngest angel
She will say with bated breath
By the door of Mary's garden
Are the spirits Love and Death

And that's so head-spinning I'm leaving it at that today...  :heart-eyes  :heart-eyes

I really enjoyed that one, @Ulrich, thank you for posting it - very nicely put together. :cool

Here's a few more "L" highlights...

Great lyrics here I think...


The next one is rather interesting, especially if you listen to it before you get the back story, and see if you can pick this up...


...Brett had this song because he heard it on a TV series he was watching, where it was played back-to-back for an entire episode, as it was the tune a person who'd abducted a bunch of intelligent young people was playing in her house as part of the brainwash to dumb them down (if I've got this right) - it's used as a piece of sort of happy mediocrity, that Mozart would have never written etc.  I personally enjoy the tinkly bit, but not the background strings - they're "elevator music" to me - and this could be an interesting thing to consider:  What's elevator music, really?  But the way they're playing strings on this, and played it on Lassie etc, meant I didn't even consider playing a violin until I heard styles of playing I really liked, in my early 20s.  I think it's a much abused kind of instrument.

I've always had a soft spot for the B-52s - so infectious, and gorgeous intertwined singing.   :heart-eyes  Friends have seen them live recently and say they're still completely fabulous.  :cool


...and I love this traditional African singing... it sounds so beautiful.  I really enjoy getting to share in some people's cultural and spiritual traditions through their music.  Diversity is such a fantastic thing...


Though I didn't like it as a teenager - I was way too serious for this kind of thing back then - I really enjoy this song now... because thankfully our tastes can expand as we go down the road...


I'm afraid Siouxsie's Loveless didn't make it onto my highlights - it's there courtesy of Brett - I just find a lot of that stuff so icy...  but at least thanks to the "appreciation lessons" on this forum, I now don't skip the track, and can appreciate bits of it.

Suzanne Vega's Luka made a big impression on me when I was a teenager - and instead of the song, I'm posting the story behind it:



And I'm gonna skip Lovesong for the highlights here - just because I actually prefer Lullaby.  That song is on the iPod four times in a row when you play alphabetically through the song list - off Disintegration, off a best-of (nicer sound), and two live versions, of which I actually think their more recent is better played.  But this is the first Cure song I fell in love with, as a university student... and I'm going to pick the version off Trilogy, because I can't find the nicer-sound studio version on YT without the official clip which I actually don't like.  I've always enjoyed this performance of it though:


And that's the "L" highlights finally done.  It's fun to listen to your iPod in alphabetical song listing - nice mix of things.

I love the Depeche Mode instrumentals.

Title: Re: Currently Listening to
Post by: SueC on May 20, 2020, 07:59:31
I've been doing stuff around the house and whipping out a Capercaillie CD I've not listened to in a while.  I forgot how much I love one track in particular on this - one I can put on endless repeat and happily enter the headspace of for hours.

The band, like @chemicaloverload, is from Scotland, and they went to a house in the Andalucian mountains in Spain to start off this album, writing, "Once we had come to terms with the noise of wild barking dogs, and had overcome the temptation to kick a ball about all day in the Mediterranean sunshine, we recorded most of the backing tracks and the ideas that came to be the songs of this album.  It was a great experience to record our traditional music while immersed in the way of life and culture in that part of the world."

Last night we finally watched the first half of the Cureation-25 gig, and listening to this Capercaillie track today, I noticed that like a lot of the tracks I love from The Cure, this track has so much backbone in the form of an excellent rhythm section - I love the drums/percussion on this track, and also the solidity of the bass underneath it all - and without such a rhythm section, folk music can sound really twee.  But this is the very opposite of twee, and the drums, percussion and bass create a fabric against which Charlie McKerron's lilting fiddle playing and Karen Matheson's velvety singing are so beautifully showcased.  I never tire of this track... (but you won't get the bass bits properly unless you listen on a good system; you should be able to feel it reverberating in your thorax... :cool)


This clip showcases the landscape of Sardinia, as a sort of bonus.

I have a little secret, @piggymirror - I actually sort of liked this particular Depeche Mode track as a teenager:


...and I still kind of do, even though I generally prefer less synthy music.  ;)  I thought that instrumental you picked was enjoyable too - very moody.  It's nice to see some of the non-commercial stuff from bands like this, because it can bring pleasant surprises to non-fans, so thank you for posting this.  :cool


@Ulrich, I liked the next Mogwai track you posted too!  Thanks for sharing.  :)  There's some fringe benefits from talking to other people about music, it seems.  I have to admit I'm automatically well-disposed towards music that's over 8 minutes long - the opposite of "radio-friendly" - God only knows why that has to be short; is it the general human attention span?  Because personally I prefer longer tracks - why stop when you're just getting into something good...

I see...  XD

Depeche Mode haven't played this song since... 1988 I think.
It seems it certainly is one of Martin Gore's least favourite songs of his own.

Depeche Mode have many great songs, both as album tracks and b-sides (Sibeling is a b-side), and also many great "poppier" singles.

In the beginning they were a bit Hansa-ed by Mute Records, so some of their early stuff (1981-1982) is very cheesy.
Not all of it though, some early DM stuff is terrific.

With me, it depends. There are good long tracks, and there are good short tracks.
So, as long as I like it...  :smth023

Nowadays with the i-net the average attention span is even shorter, most songs in the charts have to "come to the point" after 30 seconds... Compared to this "format radio" with its 3 minute songs was pretty good...

Highlights from the letter "M" - as it's back to chores which are much improved by the presence of an iPod...

Here's a fun sketch from one of my favourite comedians, especially for anyone here who doesn't think they were "conceived in love"...   :evil:  :winking_tongue  :-D

Background:  He was 46 when he and his wife had their second baby.


And from this, with rather perfect placement, the iPod went to the following song:


:kissing_closed_eyes:  :-D  :angel

Do you sometimes get the feeling you've just hit the perfect thematic sequence?  Because the serendipitous placement continued...


A little later in the playlist came this fun number - one of Brett's - for those who like it loud...


...and you're right in what you said further up, @piggymirror - a good song can be any length.  :cool  I just don't like prescriptiveness about song lengths, as per most radio...  which is why something out of the mould automatically has my attention, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be a better song than a "standard length" song... :)

However, if it's not in the standard software dictionary and comes back underlined, you know you've got a good word!  :winking_tongue

And because becoming an adult is so much fun... Something from Australia. I really have to take my hat off to Deborah Conway, it took a lot of guts to write and sing these words, especially given she did this back in 1985.


https://genius.com/Do-re-mi-man-overboard-lyrics

We're really in the thick of the human condition here...

And now, for a total change of mood and approach.  Sometimes people make music more for musical reasons than cerebral reasons, and that doesn't mean it can't work.  I used actually, as a young woman, not to like this song, because it seemed to me that it was another anti-woman, woman-as-predator song.  And OK, unpleasant women do definitely exist, I understand that; but according to the people who wrote it, this song is actually a metaphor about New York City.  This is from a concert we have on DVD, in a fabulous venue in Dublin, with an amazing Irish crowd singing along - and we thoroughly enjoy the musicianship in this concert, and the great atmosphere - not to mention another example of people 50+ making music and not looking or sounding out of place.  Because people are just people.   :cool


Staying in the US, the last one for today is an early number from Suzanne Vega.  We have it live as well but I want to post the version of the song she did as a young thing - and she was such a breath of fresh air in the 1980s - always doing her own thing, as she still does today.


A good day / evening to all!  :)

This was the one time in my life that my mother actually listened to music with me.  She liked this song too. The singer does have a decent voice, much more so than a lot of his contemporaries did, and good on him for showing people you don't have to be binary.  It's just that I outgrew this style of music and discovered things I liked better.  But, I think the reticence to ever admit I liked this song was tied up in this idea of having developed "better taste" and that's something I interrogate now.

Anyone else here got anything weird like that going down?

But I hadn't realised the bits of dub in it until now, which makes it even better.

That would definitely be one. It was all the time on the radio when I was a kid.
But I have always liked that song, and in fact I think it must be about the very best he's ever done (disclaimer - I haven't really followed Boy George after Karma Chameleon, and that was a minute or two ago...).

But in my case it was more like, er...




This is actually a very fine song (back then I didn't know it was a cover), Jimmy has an outstanding voice, just that in hindsight, the production doesn't do it for me, I prefer more synthy things.
Bronski Breat itself, for instance, or Erasure.
Or... the Pet Shop Boys, which one day appeared and did put an end to the contest (amazing band, the PSB). With the Pet Shop Boys, things became more "serious" while staying very poppy at the same time.
Also Depeche Mode, but by then I was not as aware of them, excepting Just Can't Get Enough, of course, which was everywhere as well.
But I was always humming Don't Leave Me This Way it as a kid, hahahaa.

It's been many years since I didn't listen to him.

But his music seems to be a bit forgotten...
Besides, on youtube you find more Hendrix covers than his actual songs. Urgh.

The beginning of this song reminds me a bit of Just Say Yes.

Just watching the video on this, which I actually don't recall ever seeing before, random thoughts - and I don't know the story behind this clip - but in the mid-80s, where I lived, they were only just beginning to decriminalise homosexuality (and there were police lynchings in Sydney etc of gay people, probably in part because the judiciary were considering dropping those laws), and watching that clip just brought that back to me.  It seems to me to sort of pantomime all that stuff about the public reaction to a non-hetero, non-gender-binary, different sort of person - and the law court setting did make me think about the criminalisation laws of the time.

It was in my home too.  I got bashed in the face by my father for having a Boy George poster up on my wall when I was 13 - because BG was a "poof" and a "pervert" - according to my elder and better...

I looked up the lyrics.  Interesting that it was initially written by a presumably straight woman and then sung by a gay guy, but of course, sex is sex and love is love - my recurring niggle is when people say love and actually mean sex, because I'm pedantic and these are technically two different things, although it's great when they dance hand-in-hand, and the sum is greater than the parts etc.  (And I always go on about that, because if young people especially confuse that, they can get very hurt; and to make the distinction helps inoculate people a bit against relationship dysfunction; although in those lyrics there are bigger fish to fry like co-dependency - making someone else responsible for your happiness when actually you are; and it's in so many pop songs.../end rant and the soapbox is now available for the next speaker ;))

I remember Why and thought that had fabulous lyrics. :cool 35 years later looking back it's like, "WTF was society thinking?" but of course it's not all roses yet either.

And now I'm gonna put on a song that can make you blush, bwahahaha.  :lol:  Here's Paul Kelly euphemising with his tongue firmly in his cheek.

He writes excellent lyrics.  Just the music is a bit lacking there. Kind of like a fair bit of 4.13 Dream musically doesn't go "click" with me in the same way as my favourite stuff from The Cure.  For those tracks off that album and for the new track from Mike Scott here, I have to get into a "performance poetry" mindset to listen to it and appreciate.  Not into the "here's some amazing music" mindset.

I woke up with an earworm this morning, which is funny because I'm sure I've not heard this song for many years, and I know absolutely nothing about this band.  I just remembered the song and felt like listening to it again.  It's actually really well constructed... the bass especially...

Should I break it all down? Should I fall on my knees?
Is there light at the end of the tunnel, can you tell me please?
Stand over there by the cypress tree
Where the Trojan women and children are sold into slavery
Long before the first Crusade
Way back 'fore England or America were made
Step right into the burnin' hell
Where some of the best-known enemies of mankind dwell
Mr. Freud with his dreams, Mr. Marx with his ax
See the raw hide lash rip the skin from their backs

I'm loving Jose Gonzalez's album Vestiges and Claws. This song makes me want to dance!

Related to Jose Gonzalez...
One of the strangest things that happened during my trip to Europe last year ...It was at Way Out West festival in Gothenburg Sweden. I was walking around, and something was starting at one of the small stages with seats, with an audience of 20 or so. It was a talk, with a facilitator and a few panel guests. They were discussing something, but as it was all in Swedish (and no English translation) I was unable to understand it at all. I was there by chance, and heard him being introduced as a panel guest, but was thinking "surely I misheard, that can't be THE Jose Gonzalez? Surely if he was here then it would be more prominently on the festival info/website. After about 20mins I left, unsure if it was really THE Jose Gonzalez I saw that day. ...it was!  Why on earth did they not offer him a bigger stage and the opportunity to play some music? Insane!

On an iPod playlist, two songs really leapt out at me today, because they may be around 30 years old now, but they're still as totally relevant, and if anything, more relevant now than they ever were before...

The lyrics (song was first released in 2018) fit strangely into this time...


Quote from: undefinedWe stand alone
Lost in our homes
...

The pubs get closed
The future's unknown
Our only hope for salvation
And escape from isolation
Is to fight our way outside our comfort zone

Controlled by rules and procedure
And anti-social media
In the end we stand alone

Finally listening to The Crossing is taking me on an inevitable deep dive into Gaelic folk music again.  If the only folk music you ever hear is the twee stuff piped out of Irish bars on St Patrick's Day, try some real folk music instead:


...and then have a listen to Big Country - who take that spirit and that sound, and amp it up, and play on guitars what's usually played on fiddles and bagpipes in traditional folk.


I love love love the rhythm section on this, as I always do with my very favourite music.  I think it's fabulous how this song strips back to just drums and vocal at intervals.  Lots of Scottish folk music is for singing while walking, or indeed while waulking (working cloth by beating it against a table) as well, and has that innate rhythm and energy - here's a traditional vocals-only piece:


...and here's what one of my favourite bands ever, Capercaillie, do with this kind of thing:


...and OMG, Karen Matheson's voice just completely arrests me - go to 2:17 on this and see if you can remember to breathe...

Here's another piece like it, with extraordinarily mesmeric percussion and lovely singing, this time by Cape Breton musician Mary Jane Lamond:


If you backtrack to the Big Country song at the start of this piece, or the album version of In A Big Country from my previous post, there's that breathtaking big-drum sound this band does so well - and I just wanted to slip in another Steve Lillywhite production from the same year (1983) which I also love love love because of the sound and the energy and the never-say-die attitude:


U2 were so fabulous before they started sounding like everyone else in the late 1980s.  I'm going to put in a live track from around that time, from a concert I would travel back to if I had a TARDIS - because I never got to see U2 in the raw like this; by 1988, when I saw them, it was already too late.


Equally raw and fabulous around this time were The Waterboys:


The 80s were insipid with music like 2-minute noodles - empty non-food, just add hot water - but the alternative music of the time was full of gems like this, which kept me very happy as a young person and if anything, like anything good given more time, I love even more now.  The thing about the Irish and the Scots and their traditional music was that these were people under attack a long, long time and always fighting to survive, and I love the spirit this summoned in them - that you might defeat their bodies, but you could never defeat their souls, and they'd always rise up again.  Big Country, U2 and The Waterboys were steeped in this and it just beamed out of them, and psychologically was a perfect fit for having to grow up with extraordinarily dysfunctional, physically and emotionally violent adults - which, interestingly (as I found out much later), the lead singers of these three bands all seemed to have a fair bit of personal experience in from their childhoods, too - and maybe that's one of the reasons they were drawn to this kind of music, as well.  It's a sane reaction in the face of insanity.

Here's another track from Big Country; this time live:


The audio is a bit compromised and it's worth looking up the studio track if you like this song, but this also was a fabulous live band.

It kills me that Stuart Adamson died in his early 40s; I want to cry and scream and rage over the premature removal of this inspirational musician from the universe.  Also, he was someone who gave a damn.  There's so many horrible people who live well past middle age - if there was a God, for example, the Resident Rump would have been struck by a meteor a long time ago - but, as the Germans say, "Unkraut vergeht nicht" (roughly, "Weeds don't die" but translated, it doesn't have the same ring to it).

We were talking about this last night; the terrible sadness that a person who was well versed in drawing hope even when looking terrible circumstances in the face ended up suiciding.  Brett was kind of, "Well, doesn't work then does it?" but I don't think that's true, I think it does, but there's so many other variables in equations like this, and sadly, alcoholism - also such a common thing in these cultures - played a part - and how I wish people could adopt, I don't know, chocolate and running (together), or profiteroles and bungee jumping (together), as a coping strategy instead of alcohol because it's far more helpful.  Suicide is something that happens when people hit terrible lows, and reflects the extreme bottom, not the overall life experience - not the best times, not the many many wonderful things, but a crash into the valley of the shadow, and sadly when people end up in this place they're so reluctant to reach out.  I lost a friend to suicide when she was just in her mid-30s, and none of us knew she ever bottomed out because she hid it so well and just refused to come out of her house when she got like this (which we found out later happened regularly, from her brother who came to Australia for the funeral - concealed bipolar).

I want to go out with a track from The Cure which I love for similar reasons as a lot of these songs.  The Cure don't do "you can crush my body but you will never, ever crush my soul" but they certainly know how to create a soundscape - here's a track with gorgeous melodies played with such intent and focus that it makes me soar into the stratosphere and want to weep at the same time.  This is painting with sound.

In postscript to all that, I found an interesting interview with some Big Country "originals" talking about writing, recording, to change or not to change, and losing Stuart Adamson.  I've never heard interviews with any of this group before but it's amazing how often the people whose music I've loved also turned out to be personable and intelligent and with their hearts in the right place.  ♥

And an amazing instrumental... done entirely without synthesisers:



PS:  I've listened to that Mogwai track a dozen times while doing some computer stuff and I now like all of it equally - I think the rest of the track is as lovely as the start, and this is the best "new" thing I've had the pleasure of hearing in a while. :)

The clocks will all run backwards
All the sheep will have two heads
And Thursday night and Friday
Will be on Tuesday night instead

And all the times will keep on changing
And the movement will increase
There's something about the living, babe
That sends me off my feet

There's breeding in the sewers
And the rats are on their way
They're clouding up the images
Of my perfect day

And I know, I'm not alone
And I know, I'm not alone
And I know, I'm not alone
Anything but this, can you hear me? I said

Quote from: K A NesiahMozart wrote tons of fugues.  He wrote this double fugue at age 12: https://youtu.be/XidEZEG3W3s?t=1843  Earlier in that choral work he had another fugue: https://youtu.be/XidEZEG3W3s?t=1025  Gould seems completely unaware of most of Mozart's fugues which long preceded this one, perhaps because he was only a pianist. The Adagio and Fugue in this video were extraordinary for their stylistic advancement as they brought romantic sensibility to an archaic style of music.  This music was well ahead of it's time.

Gotta say, the first time round, I hardly listened to the song, I was too busy looking at the things in the background (there's a painting by Una Woodruff, which was used as the cover pic for a Damned album back in the 90s). It feels as if I'd been there in that room at some strange point in time...

Musically it reminds me much of The Sinclairs (oh, it IS the Sinclairs, that explains it, eh?)

@MeltingMan, we have rather different musical tastes, with overlap in the form of The Cure, some classical, etc - which is OK, because it's well known that if two people are virtually identical, at least one of them is obsolete!  ;)  But I was thinking that maybe you might enjoy this unofficial Australian anthem, which I do as well, even though often I don't like synth music!

The photograph of the sense of loss and helplessness in the face of uncontrollable events;  the thought that takes shape in the depths of one's mind;  inner peace while the world is overwhelmed by nonsense.  Staying united is the key that opens the door of hope: the human being cannot stop loving."

Musically this isn't my thing, but I'm listening to it anyway.  It was written by a Kurdish refugee who has spent over 7 years in immigration detention in Australia, including on Manus and Christmas Islands, in Port Moresby and, for the past year and a bit, in a Melbourne detention hotel he was never allowed to leave.  He made a lot of friends while in detention and wrote this song for all the people who supported him.  The guitar was given to him by Australian musician Jimmy Barnes, and someone from Midnight Oil produced and mixed it.


He's just been released and given an Australian visa.  Finally.  The way our country has been treating refugees for the past decade in particular has been disgusting, and it makes me ashamed to be Australian.

I'm very happy Moz is free today. ♥

Today we have an Australian public holiday that basically commemorates Invasion Day.  I feel sorry for the convicts who got dragged here and the indigenous people who were dispossessed, but not for the toffs who thought they had a right to stick their flag in this place.

So I'm listening to a few songs.  Personally I'm remembering the convicts by listening to Jenny M Thomas' version of Botany Bay but it's currently unavailable on YT; so here's the nearest available thing:


Brett just got me listening to his convict-themed song of choice, and a warning - it's very bleak:


(Check out the name of the record label on YT!  :angel)


These songs are for the indigenous people of Australia.

Something that never happened but should have:

There you were freaking out
Tryna get your head around
The fact that me and you and love is dead
See how I'm tripping out
'Cause you can't decide
What you really want from me
Why does it have to be like this
I can never tell
'Cause you make me love you, love you baby
With a little L
There you were shouting out
Cranking up your altercations
Getting upset in your desperation
Screaming and hollering
How could this love become so paper thin
You're playing so hard to get
You're making me sweat just to hold your attention
I can't give you nothing more
If you ain't giving nothing to me
Don't you know that
You make me love you, love you baby
With a little L
Why does it have to be like this
I can never tell
Seems like you're steppin' on the pieces
Of my broken shell
'Cause...

I'm back to podcasts at the moment - and dug up some interesting ones from John Dehlin's Mormon Stories podcast I first began listening to a decade ago.  His podcasts challenge groupthink of any description - he grew up with Mormon groupthink, gave up a career in IT to major in psychology after starting to seriously doubt what he'd been fed all his life, and is now agnostic and helping create a nurturing post-religious community.  Differentiate yourself from the ground up from your cultural/religious group and/or your family of origin or other influential group, and you'll look differently at ANY form of groupthink ever after.

I'm really enjoying listening to his immediate post-Insurrection reaction, and his thoughts on how fundamentalist religions groom you for fascism.  As always, he's methodical and logical, as well as emotionally involved - brings his head and his heart to any debate.  It was compassion and critical thinking that led him out of accepting the religion he'd been raised in, and it's for those qualities I continue to enjoy listening to what he has to say, when I'm staking tomatoes and such!  ;)

(Better on audio when you're busy doing other things!)

Totally agree with him about Trump and I honestly have always scratched my head how people who purport to believe in love and kindness can be such huge and blinkered fans of such a crude, hateful, mean, sleazy, utterly disrespectful, not to mention downright stupid, person - and a misogynist and bully (and how is that charismatic???) - but it happens so often.  Thought-provoking listening as usual.

Strawberry Alarm Clock??? ...where do you dig this stuff up, @Ulrich?  :)

Look what I found... we were listening to the CD version of this the other day and then I chanced upon this live version from around the time the CD was released... and I remember an interview with Mike Scott in the late 90s when he was working on this, which I happened to hear late one Friday night getting down to my travel journal while in London... (fringe benefits of journalling :angel)

I was wondering how well this could be pulled off live - but it works pretty well, don't you think?


I do think the studio version has an edge on this one because they've really been able to up the contrast between soft and loud on it in a way they don't quite manage to do live, especially at about 1:10 and 4:25 here:


...also ♥ the way Mike Scott uses his voice on this - basically voice acting, as well as singing - drawing out consonants etc.  And the studio distortion on the voice really suits this song, I think, though I don't usually like voice processing - but on this, and also on Dumbing Down The World, it's excellent - aaaaaand you can still understand every word he's singing because he enunciates so clearly...

We both ♥♥♥ this song... it's in our top tier of favourite songs of all time... we often take turns at, "Play me something, tell me why you like it," while driving places, and this was one of Brett's choices on the weekend.  He says he'd never heard of The Waterboys before he met me and this is the best band I've introduced him to... and we all know the best band he's introduced me to... well, you know, their non-radio stuff... :angel

PS:  A pox will be upon anyone listening to this track on their phone, although your sacrilege will be lessened slightly if you at least have good headphones... but the best way to hear this is on a proper system and up loud so that it shakes the whole room...and with the bass reverberating through your ribcage.  :heart-eyes

Quote from: SueC on February 23, 2021, 06:16:12Strawberry Alarm Clock??? ...where do you dig this stuff up?

Digging up is the right word for it. I own a cd-box called "Nuggets" (bought back in '99) and it includes lots of obscure "garage-rock" and "pyschedelic pop" bands from 1965-'68.
(History: the original "Nuggets" LP was released in 1972, compiled by Lenny Kaye, guitarist in Patti Smith's band to this day!)

My journey towards the late sixties began in the 1980s, when I heard current bands covering old songs and became curious to hear the originals and unearth influences etc.!

I first heard the song "Incense & Peppermint" in 1992 I think & liked it. What I learned much later was that the band name "Strawberry Alarm Clock" was a dig at another group called "The Chocolate Watch Band".  :1f62e:

That's seriously weird, @Ulrich!  :cool

Always good to learn something new, and to find new puzzle pieces.  :)   It's beginning to strike us listening to various things that a lot of people seemed to be influenced by The Beach Boys - a band I didn't like, but you can hear in some of the harmonising even in bands like REM...

The weirdest stuff I have is an album by an outfit called Monsieur Camembert.  Sadly none of it is on YT; the offering there is limited.  They have a great diversity of styles, most of them very very alternative.  Here's a little taster:


They're also given to doing freely embroidered Leonard Cohen covers.  :lol:

We owe our acquaintance with this music to friends.  Brett can't stand this band's stuff and on the scale of awful to sublime puts it just above Inuit Throat Singing, which if he hears, he really does run screaming from the room... :lol:  I don't mind Inuit Throat Singing, I think it's cute - and I think this band is great fun!

PS:  The guy on the album cover you've posted looks like Harry Potter crossed with an Auton from Spearhead from Space (70s Dr Who)!

And some early Beach Boys stuff was clearly influenced by Chuck Berry. Most certainly Mr. Berry did not make his music out of "thin air", meaning he had influences as well... (if you go backwards, you'll find out more and more, how musicians made "new" music out of "old" stuff)!

That's not too bad, @Ulrich - it's probably suitable stuff to have in the background when you have to deal with your annual insurance paperwork (see recent Ranting Thread episode (http://curefans.com/index.php?topic=9319.msg774426#msg774426)).  ...audience members seem paradoxically to be headbanging to this...

Soft Machine still definitely can be classed as music.  But once upon a time, Brett went to see Lux Mammoth at the Artrage festival in Perth.  Turns out they specialise in "semi-structured improvisation with power tools" - which is a very generous description.  Here's some audio from the performance Brett went to see:

https://www.wanma.org.au/audio/tools-1-performed-by-lux-mammoth-at-an-artrage-possibly-at-the-rechabites-hall-b4608451

Well, there's someone who's definitely not influenced by the Beach Boys.  Brett says, "I was at that concert...but not for long!  We had one of those go-anywhere, see-anything festival tickets...a friend thought that this concept sounded interesting.  After a few minutes of this, we repaired to the bar to soothe our jangling nerves...along with quite a sizeable percentage of the rest of the audience...I read the review in The West Australian later, it said, Some of the audience fled...the remainder were made of sterner stuff..." :lol:

An associate of that project specialises in "bass noise" and does soundtracks etc - here's a YT clip:


Disclaimer:  This thread says Currently Listening, but in this case it's not us listening, it's you, bwahahahaha!   :-D   :winking_tongue

Really excellent if you have to do lots of paperwork.  Or just for relaxing!  I defy you to not have to sing along to the string melody as it tumbles over itself again and again.  And that percussion!   ♥


Folk music becomes something else when you add decent drums/percussion and bass.  The low end of this really ties everything together so well.   ♥

If anyone thinks accordion has to be boring, you've not heard Sharon Shannon.  Here's a live track which starts off innocently like a sea shanty, before picking up a reggae rhythm and then breaking into the maddest sax solo I've ever heard, which peaks at sounding like a strangulated chicken, before a happy sanity returns with Ms Shannon's lilting accordion...

It's a dark day in Australia - we're once again reminded that people can sexually abuse women and children, and go on to hold high public office, because it's often so hard for victims to prove the crime beyond reasonable legal doubt, and because those with fat wallets get the best lawyers.

I listened to this song a lot around the time our always-odious former Catholic Archbishop Pell was up for personal charges of child sexual abuse.  It hit the spot for that scenario, as it does for the fact that a woman who has now suicided had testified that our current Attorney-General anally raped her when she was 16 years old.  This woman was born the same year I was born, and I want to play this song for her.  People may jump through legal loopholes, but I believe your story. ♥  I've seen how this works.  (https://www.crikey.com.au/2021/03/01/rape-allegation-cabinet-minister/)

That's very cinematic, I like that.  While we can hear some similarities, we're not quite sure it's either dark enough or light enough to sound that much like The Cure (we kind of think only The Cure sounds like The Cure, and it would be stupid for anyone else to try to sound like them, like it's stupid for someone to imitate another person's appearance instead of develop their own style - errr, excuse my German cultural directness this evening...:winking_tongue).  But they certainly have a sound to them that allows me to recognise them from one song to the next...

I'm in the mood for instrumentals, so while I've ordered that band's 2017 album, I'll also look out for the new one possibly in a local CD shop.

Speaking of instrumentals, here's an old favourite of ours from Australia:

Of course, but it really does remind me of The Cure. (Would I lie to you, Curefans??)

(Normally when people tell me "you like the Cure, you should like ... too", I run as fast as I can... because I never like that stuff!)

With Mogwai, it's sometimes been like this: at first listen, something reminds me of Cure a bit, but then it becomes "typical Mogwai" over time. In this case, I liked it at first listen, but the Cure association came later.

Another good one:

This must be one of the most paranoid songs ever... but I like it anyway...

Quote from: undefinedI thought I'd take a walk today
It's a mistake I sometimes make
...
Now I'm at the hairdressers
People watch me as they move past
A guy wearing plastic antlers
Presses his bum against the glass
Now I'm down on my hands and knees
And it's so f*cking hot!
Someone cries, "What are you looking for?"
I scream, "The plot, the plot!"
I grab my telephone, I call my wife at home
She screams, "Leave us alone!" I say, "Hey, it's only me"
The hairdresser with his scissors, he holds up the mirror
I look back and shiver, I can't even believe what I can see

I'm sad today (reason here (http://curefans.com/index.php?topic=4293.msg774530;topicseen#msg774530)), and this is a long-time go-to song for me, when I have to think about loss.  It doesn't matter that this song is about the loss of a romantic relationship; I find it stretches well to any kind of serious loss - just alter or delete a few lyrics in your head - but the gorgeous singing and the music are just so timeless and the tone is just right - the acknowledgement of sadness and of all sorts of difficult aspects of being human, but also beauty and resilience, and knowing you're going to work your way through something and come out the other end.


Sleepless child; there is so little time...
Your hands held mine so few hours
I'm not a child anymore
I'm tall enough to reach for the stars


Honestly, where would we be if people didn't write poetry about all sorts of things we have to confront, all sorts of things we have to go through, and even better, set that to music, or if they didn't paint or write novels or essays or make films on things that matter... back in the caves, I think.  And of all these things, there's nothing like music when you're sad and you don't want to push it away, but you also don't want to drown in it.  There is so much dignity and catharsis in a song like this.  ♥

A great song to sing along to:


Here's the lyrics, if that's any help!  :winking_tongue  This gets taught to you when you do conversational Gaelic, which I did in the 90s; it was nice to discover Ms O'Connor doing a version not too long after!

Báidín Fheilimí d'imigh go Gabhla,
Báidín Fheilimí is Feilimí ann.
Báidín Fheilimí d'imigh go Gabhla,
Báidín Fheilimí is Feilimí ann.

Báidín bídeach, báidín beosach,
Báidín bóidheach, báidín Fheilimí.
Báidín díreach, báidín deontach,
Báidín Fheilimí is Feilimí ann.

Báidín Fheilimí d'imigh go Toraí,
Báidín Fheilimí is Feilimí ann.
Báidín Fheilimí d'imigh go Toraí,
Báidín Fheilimí is Feilimí ann.

Báidín Fheilimí briseadh i dToraí,
Báidin Fheilimí is Feilimi ann.
Báidín Fheilimí briseadh i dToraí,
Báidin Fheilimí is Feilimi ann.

Báidín Fheilimí briseadh i dToraí,
Iasc ar bhord agus Feilimí ann.
Báidín Fheilimí briseadh i dToraí,

===English translation===

Felimi's little boat went to Gola,
Felimi's little boat and Felimi in it.
Felimi's little boat went to Gola,
Felimi's little boat and Felimi in it.  (...isn't that a wonderful grammatical construction!  :heart-eyes ...and also how the "F" sound is dropped when it's followed by "h"...)

A tiny boat, a lively boat,

@Ulrich, the TV Smith cover reminded me of the internal sleeve art of This Is The Sea by The Waterboys, which featured a similar theme.  We looked up the paintings, and the TV Smith album features a work by Peter Wenzel:

...and this was in the Waterboys sleeve:

Which reminds me, I think you told me there was a connection somewhere between TV Smith and The Waterboys?  (Quite apart from the similarity in the voices...)

Listening to... I've got this album now but tend at the moment to just listen to this track from it on repeat:

Have you got their first, self-titled, album, @Ulrich?  I had to specially import it as it was never released in Australia.  And then I didn't particularly like it, even though I loved numbers two, three and four already at the time!

Something from Fisherman's Blues...a timeless piece, but it was spectacularly impressive when 80s radio was filled with bubblegum music...



Also, something that helped keep us awake on Saturday night as we drove home from the beach way after our normal bedtime...from earlier on that decade.  Again, in the context of the appallingness of 80s radio, this leapt out at me when I was in high school, and this band became and stayed one of my all-time favourite Australian bands - although I have to admit, I much prefer their earlier albums to what came later - when they still did atmosphere rather than snarl.  And atmosphere they certainly did...


Listening to that nowadays, I love what they did with their guitars, although the bass was a bit nondescript - but maybe it had to be that way to create that particular soundscape.  Still, because both of us noticed that and felt a "bass deficiency" because of it, the very next track we put on was "atmospheric and wonderful bass" - Fear Of Ghosts...


We were thinking about it - while the bass line for that is simple as well, it's compelling in a way that the bass on Tantalised isn't - it's its own thing, but it's a conversation with the other instruments too - it's definitely not "background"...and it reminds me personally both of a human heart and the fragility of life, and of a pendulum, going back to the same place all the time while evoking the passage of time.  And that's just one of the instruments...to me that's the difference between a sparkly melody that garners radio play, and something with the depth to continue to make you think no matter how often you hear it - and think about the stories in the music itself.

If you've had a lousy day, this might make you smile - it did me.  In this rendition, Mike Scott explains to the Glastonbury crowd why he wrote the song Nearest Thing To Hip and conducts an audience singalong.  :lol:


Brett wants to shoot the keyboard player.  (If you think that's a bit drastic, my beloved explains that there's always room for a little more misanthropy in the world.  And now he's saying that the keyboard player is an escaped Muppet...and he's making Dalek sounds, Exterminate! Exterminate! You will be exterminated!)

Brett says to take note of the Muppet drummer in the clip below and compare that to Brother Paul and he rests his case.

If you haven't guessed it yet, I've been listening to Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds' album "no more shall we part" recently (mostly in my car), seeing it's 20 years old now.

With my wife's lover's smoking gun
I don't know what I was hoping for
I hit the road at a run
I was your lover
I was your man
There never was no other
I was your friend

Had I judged Hothouse Flowers by their radio songs, I'd not have been that interested.  But it's what they're hiding on their albums that is amazing.   :heart-eyes


Saw them live three times in the 1990s - one at the Perth Entertainment Centre, one at Belvoir Amphitheatre, and an acoustic gig in Forrest Chase in the city.  Initially I only had tickets for the Entertainment Centre gig, but I quickly snapped up a miraculously remaining ticket to see them at the Amphitheatre because the first gig had been so fantastic.  Their lead singer was barefoot and did a few a capella numbers in Gaelic that filled the whole venue and you could have heard a pin drop in the spaces between the words he was singing.  I wasn't the only person holding my breath.  Totally amazing singer, and the band filled with multi-instrumentalists.  In case you only know them from some of their cheesy radio hits.  Was listening to the album that's off today.

I've always liked this one, but it seems to be a one-off...never found anything else by this lot I liked listening to. Suggestions welcome - I certainly haven't ploughed through the catalogue.  If I hit 4-5 songs I don't like in a row, I kind of give up on an artist and try something else.

It's the 12" vinyl 45rpm, released in '88, I bought it in early 90s. Back then someone told me they try to sound like Waterboys, I shrugged it off, but maybe he wasn't totally wrong.

I think Don't Go was one of their better radio songs, as was their cover of I Can See Clearly Now - didn't like Hardstone City or Give It Up or I'm Sorry particularly - the sentiments were OK but I didn't like the sound.  Movies was OK but lightweight.  So that gave me no sense of a lot of the other stuff they do hidden away on their albums, or of just how fabulous they were as a live proposition.  (Sort of like the problem I had with The Cure last century, although with Hothouse Flowers it didn't take me over 20 years to figure it out - probably because they never wrote particularly offputting lyrics and because they didn't at any point look like they were auditioning for Playschool.)

This was lovely...


One of many songs to get under my skin.  They also did an amazing track called Strange Feeling on an EP of really "different" stuff - but I can't find that on YT.  However, here's a live take of one off the songs off that EP:



Now a song I'm posting for our new person, @Oneiroman - from a more recent Perth band, what I think is far and above their best song (having heard two albums), and really worth a listen but that's just me.  It's wonderfully apocalyptic - great words and atmosphere.

Around the same time I first heard The Clash, B.A.D. came up and I was pleased to hear Mick's voice, I think this was a hit at the time (allegedly co-written with Einstein, ha ha):

But I guess you've heard that one before (?). Many years later, Mick Jones teamed up with Tony James in Carbon/Silicon, I bought a cd in 2007 and it includes this gem (sorry I couldn't find the studio version):

On a sidenote, The Waterboys released their tribute song to him in 2019: "London Mick".

I enjoyed The Kill Devil Hills song - the band were unknown to me.

The band Kuckles from Broome were big when I was in northern Australia in 1982-'83.  I think I might well have seen them in a pub in Broome in '82 when this single came out, but it was a very heavy night!:

https://youtu.be/UICsb6f1CDY

For something slightly more Cure related, Michael Dempsey who was in the band when I saw them in '79 later joined The Associates, a band who had previously toured with The Cure and had their first records out on Fiction.  I did see them once, at the Hacienda in Manchester in '85, but Dempsey had left by then as had Alan Rankine.

Their 1985 album Perhaps was panned by the critics when it came out but I bought the recent reissue and there is some good stuff on there:

https://youtu.be/tZ_4f4gVof4

Sadly they hardly played any gigs after 1985.

@Ulrich, thank you for that suggestion from BAD - I'd not heard it before and I liked it enough to get it from iTunes. So now I have two BAD songs I can listen to!   :cool   (Oh yeah, and that TV Smith acoustic CD made it to our mailbox yesterday - the audience on the inside cover looks just like my kind of audience actually - interested, involved, smiling, and not yelling or hysterical... :angel)

Don't mind the second song either.  Funny though, that particular London accent I find as grating as the "ocker" Aussie or the American - search me, because we've got people from Manchester/Yorkshire staying with us at the moment and I think their accents are really cute - as are various Scottish and Irish accents, to me!

(And by the way, one of the things I've hated the most in music is when people not from the US have put on fake American accents when singing - something a few Aussies did, sadly including The Church when they went to America to record an album; suddenly Steve Kilbey was singing with a US accent  :1f629: - which I think is such a form of selling out to appease the US market... 🤮)

@Oneiroman (and are you One-"I"-Roman or "Oneiro-man"?), thankyou for the Kuckles song - had never heard of these (but have heard of Bran Nue Dae of course); just a bit early for me which was sort of how it was with The Triffids - they'd broken up when I really got interested in music, which doesn't mean I can't listen to them now of course.  ...if you were Up North did you ever get to see The Warumpi Band?  It seems to me that there's some kind of reggae influence in a lot of music from those parts of Australia - and here's one I really love (this particular one not reggae-ish but quite a few of theirs are):


In case there's a region access problem, it's Animal Song by The Warumpi Band...

...and re critics, most of them you can't listen to - I think you just like what you like and those people just get paid for their opinions for some God-unknown reason...

(https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftse3.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOIP.xBepfTvR43xdU_311AqxnAAAAA%26pid%3DApi&f=1)


Here's something else from Australia other people may not have heard - an outfit with an actual American lead singer (not a fake accent, just how he is and that's OK in my book) and Australian instrumentalists, who specialise in really outrageous over-the-top lyrics and make pretty decent music.  We think they're fun and good to put on in your car if you have to do a long drive...

"Living in a world where the flesh is cheap
Body touches body but it's only skin deep
I can hold you in my arms every time that you weep
But we've lost that emotional flow

Living on a planet full of emptiness
With maximum exposure, full of sleaziness
But the make up on your face can't disguise loneliness
Where designer feelings are in vogue, what do they know?

Darlin', darlin' how do I get close to you
When I'm trying, trying my heart is reaching out to you
How do I get close to you?"

The name isn't really important but as I was reading something about superheroes when I first used it a year or two back as a cloak of anonymity I suppose it's Oneiro-man.  One-i-roman sounds slightly cabalistic.

I don't remember being familiar with The Warumpi Band at the time of my visit to Australia, but they are obviously one of the best known acts the country has produced.  Funnily enough I did make a brief visit to Galiwinku (Elcho Island) off the north coast of Arnhem Land which is the subject of their song 'My Island Home' (the lead singer was from there).  Two Aboriginal bands that were big at the time were No Fixed Address and Us Mob, both of whom featured in the film 'Wrong Side of the Road' which I saw in a small cinema in Fremantle (think I was on my own in the place!)

Certainly all these had a reggae influence but most of the Aboriginal people I met were into country music.

Since I am here I will give a couple more selections.

The Durutti Column 'Experiment in Fifth':

https://youtu.be/Mf8Py8rZeNE

I once sat in front of Vini Reilly on a bus when I lived in Manchester in the '80s.  I love his guitar playing.

From my hometown of Bristol something a little more bracing.

Mark Stewart and The Maffia 'Hypnotised':

https://youtu.be/FLvMRLhLcu0

I saw the group at Manchester Poly in January '86 just after the release of their 2nd album, which included this track and was shouting for 'Hypnotised'.  Fortunately they played it for me.  The Maffia were at that time the guys in the band who had backed The Sugarhill Gang and Grandmaster Flash on their records, including 'The Message'.  They also had their own band, Tackhead.

One more from me.  Another Bristol band, with a Cure connection.  The Glaxo Babies supported The Cure in Brockworth, Gloucestershire on 2 June '79, exactly two weeks before I saw them in Canterbury.

https://youtu.be/-ZrazDoxlW0

The above TV appearance featuring the song 'Who Killed Bruce Lee?' is from a local show, RPM.

The lead singer at the time Rob Chapman remembered The Cure gig, as recounted for the Bristol Archive Records website.

"Hanging out in Geoff Nichols Music one day, I answered the phone. It was some agent guy. 'God, you people are hard to get hold of. I've been trying to track you down for ages' said this exasperated voice. 'Would you like to play some gigs with the bands I represent?' 'Maybe. Who you got?' I replied.
'The Leighton Buzzards?'
'Er, no thanks.'
'The Cure?'
Cups phone.
'What do we think about the Cure?'
Agreeable nods all round. Killing An Arab had just come out. We were partial to a bit of rock and roll Camus.
'Yeah, we'll play with the Cure'.

So we played with the Cure in Cheltenham. It turned out to be our penultimate gig. Me and Tom [Nichols] argued in the back of the van all the way there. We played a stonker of a set though and as we sat in our dressing room afterwards two unassuming young guys dressed in black hesitantly hung around the door and told us they thought we were great before nervously melting away into the throng. We assumed they were fans.

Having never seen the Cure we went out to watch the main act. The two unassuming guys in black were Robert Smith and Lol Tolhurst."

The Cure sure did play some odd venues on the 3IB tour.  It kicked off in Northwich - Northwich - on 17 May.  They then played the likes of those well-known cosmopolitan centres Newport (Shropshire), Totnes, Yeovil and Chesterfield before ending the first leg in Canterbury.  After 12 days the tour resumed in Port Talbot - Port Talbot - before the big showcase gig at The Lyceum, London on 1 July.  It ended in Nottingham on 8 July, a few weeks before their first trip abroad to the Netherlands.

That's a great story, @Oneiroman!  That Glaxo Babies track you put on sounded a bit like a male, UK B-52s to me, perhaps with a bit of Talking Heads in it.  Brett was saying, "Ah, Bristol, home of Portishead and Massive Attack!" - to which he's quite partial.  He won't suggest anything by them because you probably already know it.

Durutti Column, that was interesting - sometimes you don't know if something is electric guitar or contemporary synth - since the latter are pretty good at imitating lots of things these days, and since electric guitars have multitudes of possible effects.  Reminds me slightly of Jean-Michel Jarre, who comes at it from a keyboard.  The Maffia are all over the shop - like a patchwork quilt made from bits of leather, polyester, wool, shagpile, silk, etc.

I'm going to post an old favourite instrumental from The Church's debut album, mid-80, just because if people already know it, it's the kind of thing that can be listened to over and over.


I'm slightly envious of yourself, @Ulrich and my husband for going out to lots of gigs from young.  I grew up in a family that liked to hypercontrol me and lock me away.  I was consequently a bookworm (alternative travel to other universes than the one imposed), and this got me to uni at 16 and finally out of my family of origin, but then I didn't even have enough money to feed myself properly until after I graduated, and was very short of time, so very few gigs attended through university - although I did finally go to some, and of course all of that was previously prohibited for me.

I catch the odd folk band I like down in my regional area these days, the odd bit of jazz, acoustic stuff, even a blues gig recently which I reviewed for this forum here (http://curefans.com/index.php?topic=8725.msg771257#msg771257), but we don't live in town and since we've moved into the hinterland we spend more time watching concert films at home than going out.  What we do get to see is really nice; the Perth International Arts Festival brings down good international things every summer when we don't have a pandemic too - but it's really interesting to hear the stories of European residents who've been to see various artists since way back, that we only rarely see here but hear the records of.  Brett saw The Cure once, touring Bloodflowers, in Perth (but then we both missed them in 2016 when we were building our house :1f62d:); and since he lived in the city most of his life he's seen more international acts than me (incl. Live, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Dresden Dolls, and tons of local gigs like the Kill Devil Hills, Moriarty, Audio Response Group, Cloud Collective etc, but bemoans not being able to see his favourite alternative overseas bands because they rarely come to WA - and says he deliberately avoided seeing Tool because on CD is enough!).

Here's a folk singer I saw several times down here in Albany through PIAF and once I accidentally met her (in the toilet of all places  :-D) and had to make polite conversation - amazing how tiny she is, comes up only to my shoulder but has the biggest voice and is one of my favourite singers ever...and yes she really sings like this, not just in the studio with the benefit of multiple takes etc.

I've had my first two listens through TV Smith's Acoustic Sessions Volume 1, which is the album @Ulrich recommended when I asked, "Where do I start with TV Smith?"

First of all, I don't recommend you first listen to this in the car going somewhere, because you won't be able to hear the lyrics properly and I think this music is not meant to be background music.  When we tried that, it was frustrating straining to hear every word, and the overwhelming impression of the sound was fairly homogenous angry singing set to fast, frantic acoustic guitar, and the first handful of songs sounded very much the same (which can be a problem when certain types of music are done as acoustic versions).

How much better when I put it on headphones while working in the garden - my hands could do stuff and my brain could fully engage with what was being said, and that way it's very good.  The lyrics are central to this artist's music and the words are well considered, both in terms of arguments being made and in terms of choice of words.  This to me is protest poetry, set to music - very like many of the poems in one of the main high school poetry anthologies we studied in senior English class back in the 80s, full of Roger McGough numbers like Mother The Wardrobe Is Full Of Infantrymen which I very much enjoyed for the same reason I'm now enjoying TV Smith's words - because surely someone has to mention the herd of elephants in the room.

Here's a slightly different number, just storytelling, tragedy at sea.  I'm trying to decide whether there was an actual big fish that caused them to sink, or if that was a metaphor for death itself.  Either way, the whole thing to me is also a metaphor for something else:  It all works OK until it gets too big - but that's just my reading.

And isn't it funny how TV Smith and Mike Scott could stand in to sing each other's songs without too much trouble - they sound remarkably similar.

Oh, wow, a submarine caused a fishing boat to sink?  Wasn't their periscope working - or was the fishing boat target practice?  We were speculating whether they hit a whale - which isn't a fish of course, but that never stopped anyone before - or whether this was some sort of fairytale where the fishermen netted such a huge amazing fish that they didn't want to let it go and capsized trying to land it...and the moral of the story is, etc...

Yeah, because it features many of his best songs (from his beginnings with The Adverts up to "Not a bad day" from 2003) in all-new acoustic versions (i.e. it sounds like he's playing in your living room). The title suggests that a Vol. 2 might be coming one day.

There is also "Useless - the very best of TV Smith" album, which as well is a collection of old songs in newly recorded versions, with famous German punkrockers Die Toten Hosen serving as his "backing band". (As you can imagine, this sounds different to "Acoustic" or even TV's studio albums!)
It was released 20 years ago (!) and this was the new song/single:

(On a sidenote, TV wrote some English lyrics for his friends DTH, most notably for "Pushed again" (1998), a song he also likes to perform himself.)

About the submarine: apparently when they were fishing with strong nets in deep sea, it was possible that a submarine did get caught in it and sunk them...  :1f62a:

@SueC I didn't really go to many gigs when I was younger as for some reason I never saw the point.  I had lots of records and listened to the radio all the time and that was sufficient for me.  I'm just about old enough to remember the scene in the UK before Beatlemania.  I was four years old when 'Love Me Do' hit the charts and I'd already been asking for singles for birthdays/Christmas, my favourite groups being The Tornados and The Shadows.  Even though a teacher at school organised trips to see acts like Pink Floyd, Bowie and Lou Reed in the mid '70s I still didn't see the point.  When I went to university in 1976 a friend and I asked the Students' Union entertainments guy if he could get The Sex Pistols down but that never happened and I subsequently missed loads of gigs I wish I'd been at like The Ramones/Talking Heads, Siouxsie, Blondie and so on.  Because audiences in Canterbury were normally small we were often offered cheap or free tickets and I still didn't go.  I did see a handful of bands on campus but I don't know what possessed me to shell out £1.25 to see The Cure, even though I liked them.  Mind you as a 20 year old (my friend who I dragged along was a little older) I felt rather out of place amongst the schoolkids and teenyboppers who made up the rest of the tiny audience.

When I returned from my first trip to Australia I was living in Manchester and trying to make up for lost time so for four or five years I went to loads of gigs, and there was no better place to be in the world at the time.  So I will choose two songs from acts I saw during this period.

Nico - 'Frozen Warnings'.  I saw Nico, who was living in Manchester then, at a small venue and she was doing a solo concert.  After her performance a couple of friends and I were discussing the show in the bar area when we realised she was sitting right behind us!

https://youtu.be/5XJC0cZD6zg

A Guy Called Gerald 'Voodoo Ray'.  The only time I have ever seen a band's first ever gig was 808 State in March '88 when they were technically still known as Hit Squad M/cr and had A Guy Called Gerald in their ranks.  When the Madchester scene kicked off a year or so later Gerald's 'Voodoo Ray' was the Hacienda's "theme tune", but I had already left town.

Well, this is good, @Ulrich - I'd actually go to this kind of gig if I had a TARDIS.  I much prefer punk in the service of intelligent and constructive ideas to punk in the service of stupid ideas, or punk for rebelling against things just for the sake of rebellion alone but with no idea what we should do instead of what's being rebelled against; or just punk for the sake of being another us-vs-them club with in-group dress and vocabulary, in which "fvck" is used as punctuation and to piss people not in your in-group off and because you lack imagination and manners, rather than as a weighty curse.

And that's not a bad backing band or delivery.  No wonder you go see these people when you can.  :cool

TV Smith in that clip bears an uncanny resemblance to the current Peter Capaldi:


(If you missed Neverwhere (http://curefans.com/index.php?topic=3678.msg774752#msg774752) now is the time to remedy it...)

This song is like Gold Lion by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, where I enjoy the acoustic and electric versions equally:



Sadly the only acoustic version of this on YT is one where Karen O has a cold, but she still does pretty well.  However, the official recorded acoustic version is amazing (and not on YT).

Well, they do play together occasionally (e.g. when TV is around, DTH ask him on stage for a version of "Gary Gilmore's Eyes", a song they first covered in 1991 for their "Learning English" album).
They were on hiatus due to an injury of their lead singer, when the idea came up for the "best of" album. However the tour was mostly TV on his own. He does tour with a band occasionally (named "The bored teenagers" after one of his early songs)!

TV was going to be support act on DTH's "acoustic tour", but it got cancelled due to Corona.  :disappointed:

He also plays the odd tour with DTH drummer Vom Ritchie, here's one from 2014:

Thank you, @Ulrich! I don't think that BAD song is musically amazing, but it's kind of cute lyrically and the clip is too.  I do notice one thing - maybe it's just me, but it seems to me that Mick Jones doesn't look happy - even when he's smiling it's kind of "surface happy" and doesn't quite reach the eyes...

@Ulrich, I like TV Smith's audience interactions in that clip you posted.  Also, unless you know another place to get an actual CD, I'm going to get a downloadable version of Useless - because it's not on his website shop and because on an open internet search a used CD is $45 plus postage, and new over $100 plus postage! :1f631:

@MeltingMan, we really do have very different tastes in music!   :)  :winking_tongue   But at least we both listen to The Cure.

@Oneiroman, that's a really interesting voice in Nico - and haha about not realising she was sitting nearby when you were talking about her music!  (At least you didn't make Jehovah's Witnesses jokes to actual Jehovah's Witnesses and only realise when there's sudden silence... :lol: ...been there, done that!)

Got a question for you re your teacher who organised excursions to see Pink Floyd, Bowie and Lou Reed in the mid '70s - was his name by any chance Simon Fraser Macphail?  I know it's an enormously long shot but he was ex-UK, probably pushing 60 when taught me Year 11/12 English in the late 80s, and had a huge interest in music and teaching through music - those artists you mention were big favourites of his.  Also he chucked me out of class for a cool-off when I laughed unceasingly at a Cure pop song that was part of another student's presentation (if only she'd played the track right before it on the CD I'd have bought the album myself but it took several decades more before I'd hear If Only Tonight We Could Sleep... :beaming-face)...

Well, I've been listening to all of everyone else's stuff this morning, thanks everyone!   :cool   Like a private radio channel for doing stultifyingly dull tax paperwork to, which makes it more bearable.


OK, I like a lot of U2's early B-sides - here's one - completely different universe to their post-big-time, postmodernist stuff...

@SueC  The teacher's name was Mr Williams.  Can't remember his first name, but at my school they weren't big on first names - you even called your friends by their surnames!

Whilst I'm here I may as well give a couple more selections.  Sticking with acts that have an association with places I've lived in my first choice is Matching Mole's 'O Caroline'.  The band were part of the "Canterbury scene" of the late '60s/early '70s that gave rise to the likes of Soft Machine, Caravan, Kevin Ayers etc, although not all the people involved had a connection to the city.  Robert Wyatt was pushed out of Soft Machine so he formed Matching Mole (a pun on the French "Machine Molle").  He was actually born in Bristol, but moved to Kent as a child.  The Caroline of the title was Caroline Coon, one of the first music journalists to write about punk in the UK:

https://youtu.be/RFx4od2Jalc

Funnily enough my landlord (and one of my lecturers) for two years when I lived in Canterbury looked just like Wyatt and like him used a wheelchair.  And while we're talking about punk I'm not sure I agree with your comment above about punk being more appealing if it is "in the service" of something.  In the UK the whole thing split into factions very quickly - Oi! type "yobbo" stuff, arty post-punk, new-wave pop and political punk, whether anarchist (Crass etc) or socialist (Clash etc).  Julian Cope made the point that "Uncle" Joe Strummer started to act like Stalin, dismissing anyone who didn't toe the part line whilst secretly dreaming about becoming a big star in the US.  Although of a leftist persuasion myself I just can't stomach the likes of Billy Bragg lecturing everybody whilst producing the most appalling racket.  Personally I prefer to think of punk as a liberating and exploratory force in the tradition of radical art/political movements such as Dada, Surrealism, Fluxus or Situationism.  Also I don't much care for the gentrification of pop music whereby earnest twenty/thirtysomethings inflict their trite and platitudinous sentiments on the listening public and old has-beens trot out the same old same old endlessly whilst expecting us to genuflect at their genius and magnanimity in continuing to benefit the world with their ever-decreasing creativity and ability to stand up for more than ten minutes.

I must admit I don't always listen very closely to the words of a pop song as I tend to get lost in the music, so my second choice is the very punk (via Fluxus) Yoko Ono who often in her early work used to scream one word repeatedly or even not bother with words at all.  This track 'Why' features John Lennon on guitar and Ringo Starr on drums.  Anyone who thinks The Beatles were just a boring pop group really hasn't listened to their more experimental tracks, either as a group or as solo artists:

https://youtu.be/GhdqZ2DJOPg

Yoko was a big influence on Kate and Cindy from the B-52's.

I'm giving the TV Smith acoustic album Vol.1 quite a few spins at the moment - and here's a song I'd give an award.  I like a good protest song - well, this one is breathtaking; the words and the delivery.  It really takes the cake in that department - tells things straight and is almost brutal, but then you realise it's the reality that's brutal and we're just so used to whitewash.  Where was this in 2003 when I was marching in Sydney with so many fellow citizens?  ...ah, not released yet!   :winking_tongue

@Ulrich Looking back over a few pages of this strand I see you have the Nuggets boxset.  So do I.  I love '60s psych and garage - the trashier the better.  One of my favourites, not on that boxset, is Teddy and His Patches' "Suzy Creamcheese":   https://youtu.be/YLAqNFvLGz0

Of course Creamcheese was originally a character dreamt up by Frank Zappa.  According to Wikipedia in a 1974 interview Zappa stated:

"Suzy Creamcheese was a girl named Jeanne Vassoir. And she is the voice that's on the Freak Out album. The myth of Suzy Creamcheese, the letter on the album, I wrote myself. There never really was a Suzy Creamcheese. It was just a figment of my imagination until people started identifying with it heavily. It got to weird proportions in Europe, so that in 1967, when we did our first tour of Europe, people were asking if Suzy Creamcheese was along with us. So I procured the services of another girl named Pamela Zarubica, who was hired to be the Suzy Creamcheese of the European tour. And then she maintained the reputation of being Suzy Creamcheese after 1967. The first one went someplace, we don't know where."

DJ Mike Lennox told a story about another Suzy Creamcheese and fellow DJ John Peel, as quoted in Rob Chapman's book Selling the Sixties:

"John Peel told me an interesting thing. There's a woman called Suzi Creamcheese, who is an American I believe who believes in this flower power. John Peel was in hospital and all of a sudden this character Creamcheese came into the hospital wearing all white robes, danced around the hospital bed throwing sweet peas at John and then danced out again. I guess that was supposed to cure him and make him feel much better. And he said it did. But I've yet to believe in that sort of thing. I really don't believe in it."

Plenty other fish in the sea, @Ulrich.  And the problem with all fish is that they're always fishy... :angel

I'm currently listening to something as a result of the discussions we've had here of late about 1980s alternative.  Back then I listened to two radio stations I liked: 96fm (quite educational; across-the-board more serious contemporary/rock music including "musical classics" and no Top 40 as such unless one of those songs accidentally got in) and 6UVS-FM (university alternative station).  The alternative station played loads of underground, lesser-known and cult stuff - including New Order, Joy Division, Echo & The Bunnymen, and a whole lot of other things that commercial stations didn't play, and 96fm played perhaps 30% of (and they'd play alternative songs by artists 96fm played set songs of).

Here's something both stations played; and I remember when I first heard it, because it was a really arresting and dramatic sound, which made me sit down and listen, and then the lyrics began... Personally I wasn't particularly drawn to "depressive" music (but not to "bouncy" contemporary either, generally) - I avoided that side of the "serious" sorts of music - and that's one reason I was never drawn to New Order and Joy Division, although I could appreciate some of their songs and wouldn't turn them off etc - the other is that their sound, with some exceptions, didn't particularly grab me.  I preferred "we're acknowledging the problems, this is something we can try to do about it" to "we're acknowledging the problems and want to slash our wrists / wallow in our problems" type lyrics (as I saw it, and I personally wanted to be constructive - as a teenager in a difficult home - there was plenty of trouble already and I didn't need to bathe in it recreationally as well - I wanted pointers for getting out of this mud... and being out of that, at this stage of my life I have a bit more tolerance towards those kinds of music than back then).

This song is pretty stark and when I first heard it, I remember the presenter saying, "Don't listen to this if you're feeling really terrible already."  But I liked it, first of all as a sound, and also for its storytelling - I felt that stories like this needed to be told, and that they could teach people empathy.  I think Morrissey comes across as an ass in many ways, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate this song.  And I did end up with that album, years later.


And this is my favourite cover of Blue Monday!

For my Australian friends, to mark the exhumation of the body of the "Somerton Man" which is a case that fascinates me having had the pleasure of strolling along the seafront at Glenelg and Somerton Park on my visit to Adelaide in 1985:

Tamam Shud - 'Sea The Swells':

https://youtu.be/S1ptCIhveiY

Tamam Shud were an Australian band from Newcastle and Sydney and I paid a small fortune a few years back for a CD of their 1970 psych classic album Goolutionites And The Real People, which I had to source from the US.

Anyone who knows about the Somerton Man case will be familiar with the connotations of the phrase "Tamam Shud".  At the risk of stirring up another hornet's nest, to quote the end of Edward Fitzgerald's translation of 'The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam':

"LXXII

Alas, that Spring should vanish with the Rose!
That Youth's sweet-scented Manuscript should close!
The Nightingale that in the Branches sang,
Ah, whence, and whither flown again, who knows!

LXXIII

Ah, Love! could thou and I with Fate conspire
To grasp this sorry Scheme of Things entire,
Would not we shatter it to bits—and then
Re-mould it nearer to the Heart's Desire!

LXXIV

Ah, Moon of my Delight, who know'st no wane,
The Moon of Heav'n is rising once again:
How oft hereafter rising shall she look
Through this same Garden after me—in vain!

LXXV

And when Thyself with shining Foot shall pass
Among the Guests Star-scatter'd on the Grass,
And in thy joyous Errand reach the Spot
Where I made one—turn down an empty Glass!

TAMÁM SHUD"


I suppose one could object to this on the grounds of "orientalism" or "cultural appropriation".

For my German friends, from one of my favourite "Kosmische" albums - I have the original 1972 green German Brain Metronome label LP which is worth quite a bit of money these days - Neu! - 'Hallogallo':

OMG, @Ulrich, if I listened to THAT on headphones I would get hearing damage very quickly!  :1f631:  :-D

My lawnmowing listening over the past two days (now that I don't need scuba gear to be outside) was, for a change, the Greatest Hits, which made a nice contrast to a dark gloomy morning, after which I returned to my standard lawnmowing album, Paris. Gardening continued with listens through several early Church albums, including the ones I bought after hearing them performed live all the way through by Steve Kilbey in Albany recently - and then I skipped through a number of later ones. This song always gets my attention and I listened several times as usual, so this is the one I will post here (again):

I remember where I first saw/heard that song, @MeltingMan: Our ABC's very serious, no-advertisements Rock Arena in the mid-80s - as part of a bracket that included Rock Lobster, which I also liked. I laughed at the zaniness of this stuff and loved the two women's voices - and when they harmonise it's just amazing...

Same programme is also where I first came across REM, who back then were also definitely zany...


Mmmhhh, @Ulrich, I genuinely liked Hugo Race's other stuff, but this one sounds like the soundtrack to a movie about dealing with a psychotic episode or some kind of action movie building up to a twisted sort of premeditated violence...

The "like" on the Doors track is vicariously from Brett, who says that's one of his favourite Doors songs. Me, I like some of their stuff but I'm also liking it less as I get older.

I find this song totally mesmeric pattern-wise. It's like a mathematical sudoku thing. Was listening to it about ten times in a row today to work out various patterns and was nearly ignoring the lyrics. It's just one of those things - my brain was counting in fours the whole time, from the start. Things get really interesting when the bass drops in.

Before listening to this song (in the car coming back from a hike) Brett had put on a couple of Cure tracks where we were ooohing and aaahing over the bass, which is such a backbone for their music - and it's both rhythmic and melodic. Which then had me thinking about a different style, because last night I had to fix a fence and therefore listened to an album - Seance as it turns out. When we went to Steve Kilbey's gig (http://curefans.com/index.php?topic=3458.msg774845#msg774845) a few months ago, it really struck me that he's got a very unusual bass style.

So on this song, the pattern is 8-8-16-16-16-8-8-16-16-16 through a lot of it, and then 16 recurring towards the end. Someone else can translate that into music-speak if they want; I'm just using mathematical notation for groups of the same note. Music like this fascinates me because there's an unusual pattern to work out. The repeating groups of 16 are like meditation and then the interspersed 8-8 makes your brain go, "Oh, hello!"  :cool   I also love how the drums and guitars do complementary patterns to fit together with the bass. The Cure get me with this a lot, but they're more like Bach and this is much "longer" and simpler in a way - it's very "patient" music, very mellow, but also fascinating because of it.


So that's a song I can listen to over and over and over again because its pattern just fascinates my brain. Here's another one that has this effect on me - completely different genre:


Anyone got any songs that have that sort of effect on them?

I remember that kind of repeating patterning was really fun to do when learning violin. Now double it. Now quadruple it. Etc etc.

I caught The Music Show on Radio National earlier this week, featuring Vika & Linda, Tongan Australian sisters who've been singing together since they were children (it's a cultural thing). I didn't know this, but they were the backing vocalists I much admired in some tracks by The Black Sorrows which were popular here in the early 90s:


They first came to my attention when they contributed this track to the Australian comedy/drama classic Seachange:


They still sound completely amazing in their mid-50s, as you can hear during this sample of their lockdown singing, from Linda's house:


 :heart-eyes

On the RN show this week they were discussing singing harmonies versus singing in unison. They sang separately and then in unison, and it was like there were three different people! :)

I've been listening to Cure songs today - all of Wish again (while digging a trench), some live stuff, various B-sides. But I'm also listening to The Church a fair bit because I've got two back catalogue albums from them that came in the mail last week. Here's something from an album of theirs I've had 20 years and recently really took to after being lukewarm about it previously.

Well the music I heard was "nice", but I missed "songs", it was more like "reciting poetry". But never mind my "problems" with it - if you like it, do listen to it! :)

I think that's what I found interesting. Poetry with a soundscape, or something. I played it to my son, who is studying music making, and he concluded that it hardly qualifies as music. I beg to differ. Music does not have to abide by the rules to be music.
I promise, I will listen to whatever I like :)

I do like the Barabara Manning song. Thanks.

That so reminds me of something I heard on the Radio National music show this week. A composer by the name of R. Murray Schafer died recently, and they did a bit of a feature on him, including an interview from 20 years ago in which he talked about exactly that - that modern music is full of these rules and preconceived ideas about what music should be like, and he strongly disagreed with this approach. I really enjoyed that interview; it's in the section at starting at 39:00 here: https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/musicshow/villagers-r-murray-schafer/13507302

Here's more on this composer: https://www.cbc.ca/music/r-murray-schafer-composer-writer-and-acoustic-ecologist-has-died-at-88-1.5404868

I'm currently listening to podcasts and ABC Radio National - and the Schafer interview was the highlight in a sea of interesting stuff.

That sounds very likely. Thanks for the tip. There are plenty of gems in MF's back catalogue and she mostly chooses to work with interesting and talented people. The film soundtracks Ellis and Cave have made together are also appealing to me. They have a similar haunting tonality to what is very present elsewhere in the Nick Cave universe of music.

Yeah, I heard/saw some of them (e.g. "The Road") - seemed to me their music for "Wind River" echoed some "themes" used on "Skeleton tree".

This is such a big topic and one that I could discuss a great deal. Will take a listen. As with every other form of art, it's when you are breaking with conventions that you are, at least considered to be, groundbreaking and really interesting. I'm not sure it's possible to think of a world where there are no rules and ideas about what music should be like. But I do agree that it's maybe too much of that in what we call modern music. Don't get wrong, even though I like the truly artistic, I can lose myself to the beat and the melody of a well crafted formulaic pop song. I'll be back on the subject

Hee hee ha ha.  :beaming-face  Very droll.

By the way, I think the question of musical conventions deserves its own topic; my topic doesn't suit it.

I think Ulrich is trying to prevent Currently Listening from turning into long treatises on music and encouraging us to start independent topics elsewhere should a conversation had on this thread inspire us to write more extensively. He had to do that with me when I was new here because otherwise the equivalent thread for Cure songs would have ended up with essays attached to it. So I created my own Exploring threads in which I could write thousands of words on Cure songs and wherever in the universe they took me, without disrupting or ballooning other topics. :)

Also we had a person with us for a while who seemed to lecture us on what is Excellent Musical Taste and what is Shitty Musical Taste (also a fairly binary person in that regard). Excellent Musical Taste seemed to be defined by the degree of overlap with his own Taste, which he was encouraging us to acquire (or looking down on us for not acquiring). He was similar about philosophy, which was sad - like someone eating only Spam when there is a whole smorgasbord to be had!


Today I listened to this about half a dozen times on loop because it swings along nicely and kept me awake while hanging up the washing:


It's nice to have another BAD song to enjoy after only liking The Bottom Line for many years. :cool

Loveless My Bloody Valentine

I realised recently that I have a wealth of CD albums that I've neglected in this age of digital convenience, so I started with Nirvana's Nevermind on it's 30th anniversary ( :1f631: ) and have been closing my eyes and randomly picking one album each day to listen to straight-through.

It's a bit of a bind being busy as I am, but sitting and really listening is what I used to do, and it is a real pleasure. It's also really good for the spirit to get the hell away from the laptop and shut everything out for an hour or so. I'm going to keep this up as much as possible I think.

Godfathers had many good songs on their first few albums, but I didn't see them live until 2015 or so (new line-up), they played nearby a few times since then. Another new line-up was to be witnessed in 2019 and they're recording a new album as we speak.

Quote from: undefinedDon't Panic England by TV Smith and Richard Strange is a rabble-rousing, fist-pumping, toe-tapping rant by two of Britain's finest songwriters. The song was begun in 1978 but has lain dormant, like an avenging angel, waiting for the right time to rise up. The time is now.

Holding her in my arms before leaving her there
I always wanted, was my intention
But I was stunned by how much she loved me
No denying, I couldn't say it, I wanted to say it
But now the only thing that's left is the cripple
And the sound of the seasons
Sad as winter

Fish that couldn't swim
Bird that wouldn't fly
Worm that couldn't crawl
Man that wouldn't try
I am

"From Hank to Hendrix
I walked these streets with you
Here I am with this old guitar
Doing what I do

I always expected
That you would see me through
I never believed in much
But I believed in you

Can we get it together
Can we still stand side by side
Can we make it last
Like a musical ride

From Marilyn to Madonna
I always loved your smile
Now we're headed for the big divorce
California-style

I found myself singing
Like a long-lost friend
The same thing that makes you live
Can kill you in the end"

QuoteSome people want and want and want what they don't have
'Til it keeps 'em awake at night in their bed just twitchin'
Some people like to complain about ev'ry little thing
Some folks just never stop bitchin'

Wasn't it enough?
Tell me, why wasn't I more grateful? When life was sweet

Very good, MM, I love those old "garage rock" or "psychedelic pop" nuggets from the '60s! :heart-eyes

Many of them I heard for the first time when other bands covered them in the '80s, like this:

And another one that fits the weather here...


"I'd like to sleep one-hundred days
My feeling has gone, flesh cold and numb
I'm staring in to Winter
I'm staring in to Winter
All slowing down, snow in the wheels
Frost on the ground...

Memories and hopes are all that I have
But are they all I need?
Will they see me through this Winter?"

"Lookin' for a little peace?
Maybe some days you don't need to hear the truth
There's a place for every war and every other tear
A place for everyone and everyone's fears

Take another look outside, do you see raining?
Or maybe even worse, maybe even worse...

Not in my house, not in my room
Not in my home, my home without a view...


There's got to be a better view"

Closer than close

Six strings on a twelve guitar
All my dreams are made of stars
The rock and roll still burns in me

I met the new wave sons still arising
All the rent books have been left unpaid
You can find me where I`ve always been
The faces change but not the dream

Rock and roll is still not dead
There's still so much more left to be said
All the lines are in my head...
