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

Hey, that Puppet Wipes is good, glad I listened to it. Looking into 'em right now.

Not very punk I guess, but this 1977 family album has strong (also awkward as all these are) takes on rock, funk, and country. Love the fuzz on this one. Wish the whole album were this good.

The Sleepytime Trio remix/remaster/reissue arrived. They did 5 shows on the East Coast in Sept/Oct. Doubt they'll do any out West but maybe a fest or something? Anyway, the Memory-Minus Plus Minus sounds great. This is most of their set in Philly a month or so ago

Sukebe_GG Love this one! What a great quote too, thanks for sharing it. Always interesting to hear an artist's perspective on their past work.

The Rebels! They put out an EP called Artificial Insemination in '79. The whole thing is pretty cool but this track is absolutely the standout. Trying to build my knowledge of Swiss punk. I love Chin Chin, Glueams and TNT. Anyone have any other recommendations?

This week I've been jamming the double disc collected works of The Vyllies, who I think started out more punk but then went into a more of a goth/new wave, leather-and-lace direction. This is an earlier synthy punk thing that first got my attention. Heard it on one of the TV Dinner comps you linked to!

This video/song is pretty representative of their later stuff. Not exactly my cup of tea but there's lots to appreciate.

New Midnight Mines. Absolutely fantastic. Perfect mix of Slicks at their gloomiest, Gibson Bros twang, Flies on Sherbert boogie, heavy dub, and even some looks back at Black Time at their nastiest. A real cornucopia of rnr greatness. Have a few on the site for anyone looking.

Is that some skronky sax laid over ridiculously distorted space echo vocals? Sign me up!

Randall Man, I logged on here specifically to gush about this record. Amazing stuff. Can't believe I didn't know about this band. The Gibson Bros comparisons are spot on. I also hear a lot of Sunburned Hand of the Man in their spacier moments. Incredible.

Hüsker Dü - 1985: The Miracle Year box set. 2xLP. I'm not usually big on live albums. This one starts off a little shaky but quickly hits a groove. First two LPs is a complete show from Minneapolis. The second two compile tracks from other live shows that year. It's nice to hear these songs in a live setting by the band at the height of their powers. Numero Group did a great job on the audio mix/master. My vinyl copy just arrived yesterday but I've been listening on streaming since last week. At this point I prefer the complete show on the first two LPs over the additional live material.

Nathan Loud Hell yeah! This is good stuff.

Also been in a deep appreciation of the Sic Alps' catalog this week. Really a great band with consistent and productive output. Great songs—total vibe-casting of the sonic-spiritual breadth. They make it look easy and probably could have put out a zillion records if they wanted to.

This incredible song has under 100 views as of this moment. Does this world deserve them? (No.)

Yes the new Midnight Mines is incredible. Blistering psych heaven. Dude never misses. Was turned on to his stuff on the old board, along with other LOKI label releases.

Gave the new Home Front (Watch It Die) a listen today. Was at the gym so not actively listening but liking it a lot. If you dig their earlier stuff this will hit the spot. Mail brought the Drags - Stop Rock and Roll and Lush - Gala 35th Anniversary 3x12" + 7". Guess it's a garage punk and shoegaze Friday.

Listening to this album by australian band Vampire. Guess this hc/punk with strong anarcho punk vibes. Saw them live in june and really liked them but for some reason i havnt listened to the album until now. Great stuff.

kai

Red Menace

This week lots of Big Star

Now That's What I Call Music: New LPs from PUPPET WIPES and MIDNIGHT MINES

Mystery_Ship

The New Eves - The New Eve is Rising - Haven’t seen much chatter about this one, but been digging it for a while now. Very well executed and unique modern post punk. A friend described it as “Pagan Raincoats” and I ain’t gonna disagree.

Finally bought a copy of Nico's "Drama on Exile" album. At this moment i think it's one of the greatest things i ever heard.

Vision Creation Newsun by the Boredoms came on shuffle during my run the other day and I can't stop listening to it. Joyful and cathartic. Exactly what I need to hear these days. Amazing.

First Boredoms I heard was a promo cassette for Super Roots 6 that I played endlessly in my beaten-up Mazda 6, and it's minimal kinda depressing sounds were a perfect fit for cruising the surface streets of Los Angeles (as my dying car could no longer make it to 55 mph) and my personal financial nadir (spiritually rich tho). A few years later, I found myself teaching in Japan, blasting Vision Creation Newsun on the bullet train, off to Osaka to raid the record stores - thinking again that the amped-up motorik beat and spacy sounds really matched the ride...
I saw them live around then also
