    Jah Wobble's Chinese Dub in fact. (It's 5am and I am inexplicably awake on my day off, this may yet soothe my work-addled brain)

    The Horrors, I'm almost ashamed to say, being as they are trendy Hoxton Goths, but a few tracks are really good. Sea Within A Sea in particular.

    ..and they are, I loftily assume,Southends's only musical exports.

    Been listening to Mark Templeton since finding it on recent Warren 8tracks link...lovely stuff.

    And The Triffids.

    Actually , I've just remembered that Danielle Dax and Dr Feelgood hail from Southend. I beg immediate forgiveness.


    But These New Puritans are still wankers.

    Fucking right!


    (also wossisname from Procul Harem)

    (also I think Norman Watt-Roy lived around here)

    (also, obviously, WILKO FUCKING JOHNSON, who yes I know was in Feelgood but I think he needs an extra line on his own and also capital letters)

    (also I'm sorry for pub rock)

    @Warren - Based on hearing that one track, I think I agree with you about the new Tortoise disc. That was not very good at all (but I figured my listeners needed to hear for themselves...)

    Laika & The Cosmonauts - The Hypno-Wheel

    I've lost it now, I think, but somewhere on the net there was an mp3 of them doing TELSTAR live. Wonderful.

    @Warren - Based on hearing that one track, I think I agree with you about the new Tortoise disc. That was not very good at all (but my listeners needed to hear for themselves...)

    HIGH CLASS SLIM was the track I read all the raves about. I dunno what the fuck's going on.

    revD:

    Zola Jesus - Tsar Bomba

    What did you think to this?
  16.  (5933.16)
    Laika & The Cosmonauts = Best Damn Finnish Surf Band in the World!
  17.  (5933.17)
    Nadja - When I See the Sun Always Shines on TV. Gave up on iTunes and finally got it via Crash Records down the Headrow. Lovely set of droneo covers and their 'Sun ...' is now the definitive version for me.

    Hallucinogen - Twisted. Missed it the first go round so my mate (one of very few) burned a copy for me.

    70s Nigerian rock compilation - something my brother gave me, does what it says on the tin but has some brilliant tracks.

    The Metalocalypse-based Dethalbum and Michael Giacchino's Star Trek score. Yes, I'm a complete dork.

    @warrenellis:

    Beautifully crunchy. I've heard it compared to Pocahaunted, but I think that's just hipsters huffing burnt cassettes. Nika Roza can banshee with the best of them but doesn't grandstand-- she doesn't drone on at all. The overall style is both haunting & industrial without falling into genre traps and the production gives the individual songs their own unique spatial qualities-- 'Rester' & 'Past The Blue Brick Stone' are definite standouts --while also giving the EP as a whole a certain unity, encouraging you to listen to it from beginning to end. A few of the drum loops are weirdly reminiscent of 'Maxinquaye' in a way I can't place (I'm thinking #4, 'Th'aria', here), but the tone's completely different... Less stoned, more vengeful. Overall 'Tsar Bomba' is the perfect length, both in terms of track times & total play-- it does its work and goes, but the hooks stay in your brain. Bears repeated listening.

    Jennifer Kelly sells it better than I can.

    I've listened to it some four or five times, but it's just not sinking in for some reason...
