WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO AND WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT?
Like very much at the moment the last Program LP :
Good vibes and reminds me strangely about the end of Beatles !
Like very much the "Act Natural" track that comes back in the last song again to close the game !
Currently listening to my favorite "drums & vocals only" song.
Also since this week is the "one different BRAINBOMBS album each afternoon at work" week, today is Cold Case.
New USA/MEXICO lp. Every release has less and longer songs. I'd imagine the next album will be one thud stretched out over 4 lps. The heaviest shit going and they hock a loogie in a otherwise tired formula.
Love- Forever Changes
I This hippie guy Bob made me a mix cd of a a bunch of pre punk stuff in my early 20s. An incredible cd that turned me onto so much stuff. Love '7 and 7 is" was on there and I absolutely loved it. I grabbed 'Forever Changes' on CD excited to hear more Love and absolutely hated it. Took me a long time to come around to it. I was an only Da Capo guy for a long time
ratcharge THE TEENAGE GRAVES – Hippies headhunt/ Drug crazed (Had totally forgotten about this one! Wild/ raw swedish garage single feat. Lanchy from Totalitär/ Brainbombs. Great band name, song titles and overall vibe. Guess I'd file it somewhere between GG & the Murder Junkies and The Reatards)
Speaking of Brainbombs, have you heard Driver? Solo project by Lanchy with an early Leather Nun/Action Swingers vibe. Released an EP last year.
never gets old

Riskless Risk yeah theyre great. the first record is really good too. hopefully they come to the usa sometime soon
Gimmie Sopor Thanks, this rules! Didn’t know about it. This morning while doing the dishes I was listening to « When I die » by GG Allin, in which he says « scumfuck rock’n’roll » a bunch of times, and the term popped up in my head when playing this.
In other news tonight I’m listening to the album « Bye bye These are the days » by Kath Bloom, a classic of quiet nights smoking weed in my lving room. I’d say it’s great, heartfelt, melancholic but hopeful folk music.

Been wondering about the drums on 7 and 7 Is because they rule so hard.
Is that a specific “style” of playing? Where you just do a drum roll the whole time? Is that a jazz thing???
I notice bands doing this sometimes. Human Eye comes to mind specif.

Been digging this one hard. Comp of the Japanese underground made in 81 based on Morgan Fisher's comp of the same name. Some real artists, some are just Die Öwan performing under pseudonym. All around great listen.
General Speech killing it on these Die Öwan (& related) reissues

smudge Haven't listened to the comp much but as I said previously, that Die Owan stuff blew me away. "The esoteric roots of both Osaka noisecore and Egg Punk!" is my Roctober review. The early punk/new wave scenes in both Tokyo and Kansai (Osaka/Kyoto) deserve a detailed tome or two, in English.
Gimmie Sopor First someone mentions NED's book and now NED's band - ruh roh...NED might show up to sue that band and anyone on here who listened to it! Siriusly though, it is a great blast of primo grunge skree skronk a be bop straight outta 1993!

paging a real drummer
Randall HAIL ARTHUR LEE...been revisiting Da Capo much more lately. Also idk if I'm in the minority on this one but even the post-Forever Changes albums have been somewhat enjoyable for me personally (especially "Four Sail"). Also if you haven't seen the doc, I recommend it.

Gimmie Sopor have you heard Driver?
Nice 7", I think the tracks were drawn from an old session. Lanchy is a riff machine. The amount of fantastic riffs he wrote for Totalitar & Brainbombs is just insane.

This is really good! First time I'm hearing about her, although just seeing she released records with Loren Connors too. A good LP in kind of the same vein, was MJ Lenderman's record from the past year. Not the best lyrics, but the overall feel was very enjoyable I thought.

Yeah, it's from an old session. Lanchy confirmed this when I spoke to him after the Brainbombs gig in Copenhagen last year. He also said that newly recorded Driver material is coming out soon on a split EP with the main guy from Rat Cage, who has a similar side project. I like Rat Cage a lot so I really look forward to that.
