Alvarius B - That's How I Got To Memphis (& Other Egyptian Love Songs) // Alan Bishop does buncha covers running the gamut from Tom T. Hall to Cleaners From Venus and nails 'em all obviously, pretty straight and sincere, jerks a few tears if yr so inclined.
Scritti Politti - Anomie & Bonhomie // super charged sophisti-pop-hop , hard to decipher , even harder to listen to.
Hunches - Exit Dreams // Sounds as good today as yesterday.
Death Panels - Maximum Soul: Makes the work commutes feel like a bong rattled hog ride to the end of the universe.
Hex Files: Femme fueled and duo bassists. Garage/Goth (or is it Goth/Garage) from Carrboro, NC.
The new Lavender Flu album.
The Mrs brought Doechii's 2023 album back into heavy rotation again this week after it dropping into medium rotation the past few months. Pop hooks, classic hip hop and ratty boom bap blend together stunningly.
Mystery_Ship That Worker's Comp record was my 2024 AOTY. So
Fire Engines Chrome Dawns. Really glad to have everything collected in one place, especially the Peel Sessions, which I used to listen to a lot after downloading years back. "Big Wrong Time" is a particular highlight of their more pop direction near the end.
Home sick and I found on old transfer. Enjoy. It is enabled to download if you want to transfer it somewhere else to listen to later.
Right now: ty - WE R TY -- lo(ish)-fi garage punk, the kids call it egg punk
carrying over a few from the old forum and adding a couple:
Fruited Planes - "Introducing The Moth Eggs" - Fabulous Portland, OR band that is new to me and surprising! Loose, groovy, psych rocknroll jams from ex-Monoshock, Jackie O Motherfucker folks...would've been on my 2024 best of list - can't stop listening to this...
Donna Allen - Atom-ic Citizen of the Dying Empire - newest full length from Chronophage singer/songwriter. Really lovely alt-folk, alt-country.
Spleen - II - newest demo or cassette or whatever on Roachleg Records - members of Puffers - arty, post-punk, brings Wipers to mind.
Abwärts - Anon Koma - debut LP from 1980 from this amazing German punk/post-punk band. Don't know why these guys have alluded me for so long - top shelf stuff with future Einsturzende Neubauten folks.
Guiding Light - s/t - rather cool, high energy, brittle, wave/punk from Austin, TX - great stuff!
TomDash Fruited Planes stuff sounds really great. Had not heard of before seeing the previous post. Scott Derr rules.
Anyone check out the new Son of Dribble? just gave it a cursory listen this afternoon, no opining yet but will be back to it.
ever/never Hunches - Exit Dreams // Sounds as good today as yesterday.
man i haven't listened to the hunches in ages... i was obsessed with exit dreams, obsessed with that guitar tone.. really played it to death and scratched the record to shit haha. nice reminder to revisit them.. hobo sunrise & exit dreams at least
TomDash Yeah thanks for hepping us to the Fruited Planes - I jammed it yesterday and really liked it. First thought was Bevis Frond but more...uhm, Pacific Northwest...
For chilling yesterday evening: The Invisible Hands - The Big Minute yesterday. It's Alan Bishop and some Egyptian guys. I seem to listen to/enjoy the post-SCC stuff more than the original group although I have had some out-there stoned listenings of SCC albums...
Waking up with Bud Powell - The Amazing Bud Powell
Listened to the new Lothario album, while doing laundry yesterday, followed by some Germs. Thought it went well with what I was doing.
Sukebe_GG wish I could find actual Fruited Planes tapes. it is great stuff
Today:
Country Teasers - Pastoral 10"
Toe Rag Sessions Lp
Spending some time with early Teasers. Still great. Still unique.
Urinals - Negative Capavility comp. : the studio disc rules so hard having all their stuff in one place
Workers Comp - Lp definitely Chilton vives, but with a Ron House vocal sensibility. Really great.
Pharaoh Sanders - Thembi : i love how this goes from meditative sounds shapes to free blowing/flowing from tracks mixed together.
Been bumping the Toe Rag Sessions as well. So much great Teasers material. RIP Alastair Mackinven.
The places they take us in 2 minutes 20 seconds!
Spinning some recent Neon Taste stuff (sick label)
Jug - ...Or Not 7" - sloppy (ish) mid tempo punk music
Closetalkers - Path To Peace 7" - cool Canadian d-beat type hardcore
I dunno. I'm a simple man when it comes to punk music.
I just heard a really shitty cover of We Didn't Start The Fire on my work radio...
THE PUKE from PA!
Also last night I suddenly wanted to hear some Luna. Hadn’t strongly felt that feeling before.
Coley tripped this on the socials last night and it is goddamn good.
pre-arthur russell era. there needs to be a necessaries reissue campaign
