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

Randall

a perfect song. Currently on the hunt for this single in the meantime I'm just listening to this over and over again on youtbe

paperhose

Randall I heard this on tom lax wfmu 10 years ago and was/am deeply moved. listening again more lo fi thank I recall and the bass louder too.

BARELY HUMAN

Weather's taken a turn into autumn/proto-winter the past week or so and been flogging the first LOWER PLENTY LP (2012) all morning. Some real vegetable stew for lunch type soundtrackin, and heeeeavy nostalgia re-listening after 10+ years. I guess I drifted away from folk-adjacent music in recent years? But man, nice to be chilled out for half an hour!

BARELY HUMAN This record so far from what we were all listening to at the time but also totally captured our attentions too. I think Al M must be the musical genius of past 20 years. Psycjed to relisten now too.

Clif

I have been on an Endless Boogie jag. Mainly the 20 minute jam cdr (I downloaded it) and VIbe Killer album. Sometimes their ZZ Top motoik thing really does it fo rme. The Full Size tape gives similar vibes (pun intended)

Also, new King Blood. More ambient than others and probably better for the diversity.

Syd era Floyd - Especially been keen on See Emily Play. How the fuck was that a hit song. Amazing.

The Touch The Feel

Mitch C. Along with Heavy Mother II and Sharp Pins, this gets highest honors 2025 to-date. Here's the program:
At least 4 tall cans of basic-ass, thin-ass lager/pilsner.
Weed.
A couch.
A stereo & turntable with Eye I Aye Ivy playing.
YouTube TV live stream of the Band WebCam from The Elbo Room Fort Lauderdale

this is hilarious. and a heady mix.

BARELY HUMAN

paperhose love big al! the fact that he's played like 3/4 of the available genres for music as a whole is admirable enough, but even better that it's actually GOOD..

After sneaky feelings youtube I am listening to

And for some reason clap your hands say yeah (they playing in a week and am curious if the first album has some lasting appeal for me or not).

Went to an art opening last night in a somerville warehouse where I found out Dead at 24 recorded their Blast off LP. So listening to a few tracks of theirs too.

Randall

Mitch C. haha. Just noticed #5 on the list. Taking me back to my youth! Tried to tune in but they seem to be having audio difficulties right now. Must be a bad night at the Elbo Room because Im only seeing two backwards baseball hats

Randall the stream never has sound so it’s perfect to have on in the background when you’re playing records at home.

Andy Fartin

I've been really lovin' Blammo/Riboflavin SPLIT. two bands with shared members. ATL post punk rippers.

Andy Fartin I keep returning to this one. Might be my favorite release of the year so far.

Señor Scratchy

Eddy Grant’s brother Alpine Grant’s pub rock band that released one 45, recorded and produced by Eddy Grant. Real goofy, sounds like the Equals if they were on a KBD comp. B side is a Christmas song.

Cannot find it, but otherwsie would post the video of Richard Meltzer reading his "annual fuck my mom dream" poem.

Sukebe_GG

Cannot get enough of these lost powerpop gems

Al Dorado

Mitch C. my copy of the King Blood yesterday. fuzzed out rocker

Clif

Alien Nosejob - Stained Glass - Mna I slept of this album. So fucking good. Post Punk Poser, Shuffle Boogie, RnR Rubish Bin, and more hits.

Lou Reed and Metallica - Lulu - I actually enjoy this. It makes me chuckle. I always wonder if lou waited to do the "vocals" (i.e. talking) after the music so the metal boys would have no idea what he would talk about. It is better when metallica let the metal rip and don't try to be all ambient. Lou's own American period. He seems to be having fun.

Also, I have listened to the Blowhole album Guerilla Jazz on youtube because of the Record TIme article. Fried skonk noise. Free Metal indeed

Nathan Loud

Clif I log on to the forums right after literally just arguing for Lulu in a group text.

I had posted this gem: https://thehardtimes.net/music/pregnant-woman-weighing-ethical-considerations-of-bringing-child-into-world-where-metallica-still-releasing-new-music/

I stand by Lulu, it rules. Lou truly having fun. Achieving another warped vision. Uniquely him.

I'm reading that graphic novel about Peter Laughner, "Ain't It Fun." It's fantastic. It brought my attention to this PL review from CREEM:

filthqueen666

Scrolling the web and saw something to the effect of “lesbian 70s German punk” and discovered this today while trying to fight off the lowest low of the post-fest depression.
There’s a MRR interview with Stef Petticoat that’s really cool also.

Any of you experts know if this is getting reissued for a modest price anytime soon?

Randall

filthqueen666 this single gets so much play in my basement. That scaling triangles comp that got reissued in the last couple of years has got some petticoats tracks on it

Guy Lombardont

filthqueen666 absolute classic and maybe the greatest scream ever recorded? I had 5 signed copies at one point when she still had a stash for sale. She did a promo for my old radio show she's an absolute gem.

People have been talking for years there should be a comprehensive stef petticoat compilation (petticoats, nesessary evil, amy and the angels, 69 lies)

filthqueen666

Randall sick, thanks. That one’s pretty accessible.
