  • WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO AND WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT?

Jonny YenAgain RE : Brainbombs, yesterday a friend who's crazy about them told me the same thing about "Obey". As for me, apart from the early singles comp, I'm still discovering – it's not a band I feel like listening to this often, but when I do it's usually for a bunch of consecutive hours/ days/ weeks and then it's over for a while. Before the next phase.

If I was in Melbourne I'd defintely do the same RE: Split System! They're coming back to France in a few months, can't wait.

In other news today it is :

PARIS VIOLENCE - Humeur noires EP
Don't really care for the rest of his vast discography, but to me this record is untouchable, almost shit-fi French punk with lyrics that are more reminescent of a Selby novel than some Chaos en France childishness.

THE VERSATILE NEWTS – Newtrition/ Blimp
UKDIY single that reminds me a lot of TRONICS

BRAINBOMBS – Obey.
Indeed.

And tonight it's NOIR BOY GEORGE live at the bar down the street

      Saw the Gories play last night and it exceeded all expectations. No practice, no sound check, all borrowed gear. Once they took the stage there was this palpable feeling that given any situation, they could churn it into visceral rock n roll. In the loosest moments there was the intensity of free noise. Up front everything sounded like a drum beating you in the chest and despite a small contingent of moshers (wtf?) it was all dancin and smiles even in the sardine state. Lotsa generational blending-60yr spread between the scrauniest stripey shirt and the scruffiest silver mane. And the moshers were spirited too, not punchy just pushy. truly felt it raw and pure- like mainlining the holy spirit. Listened to all 3 albums last week as excitement mounted, will likely pursue that same ritual tomorrow.

        that all depends on whether 1 guy with his back turned to the stage and his fingers in his ears constitutes a mosh pit

          11th hour stubble haha. I like to think his fingers were in his ears because he loved it so much he never wanted the sounds to escape his head

            Just scored a copy of this insane Swiss fake punk single. Sounds like a mix of X-Ray Spex and Teddy & The Fratgirls/Sheer Smegma.


            Been listening to a bunch of Mummies 7"s. Me and my dog were dancing around to them this afternoon.

            Got postcards 4 & 5 yesterday and had my first listens and they’re maybe not up to par with the first 3…. Getting a lil too mainstream new wave for my liking with a couple tracks sounding like wannabe Huey Lewis. I love Huey Lewis but this was BAD! Also the AI art on the last two covers is worse than ever haha

              peeblood yeah I didn’t end up keeping my copies. 4 turned me onto The Leopards single but nothing else really stuck out. I don’t remember any Huey Lewis songs but this actually has me wanting to go back and give another listen

                  11th hour stubble

                  The first time I saw them was in Seattle in 2010 and it was a top ten all time show. Pretty sure it was the last show of a long tour. Then saw them a couple years later at SXSW for a one off show and it was a bit of a train wreck. Would love to see them again.

                    Randall ACADEMY ONE was the tracks I hated off of postcards 4, Huey Lewis is giving them way too much credit

                      I've been listening to a TON of Ultimo Resorte and Poison Girls! I tried listening to the new Shrapnel and Sharp Pins and Straw Man Army......nothing.

                      peeblood

                      Right on. What is the comp do you think peeblood? maybe the opener on Lamps?

                      a song so wild TP won't even let you watch it embedded.

                        New SPLIT SYSTEM single has that repetitive, hypnotic quality of a simple punk riff being the main attraction, kinda like « Tania » by Sex Vid, but played by Hank Wood & the Hammerheads and with added guitar leads. (It’s great.)

                        Also woke up playing this cavemen/ cavewomen hc punk demo and thought of a faster State Children.
