Ginja's last post reminded me I had the Filthy Kicks site bookmarked for later. Good free music is good.
Also listening to: ohGr- Welt (may be my new fav. "good weather" music) Joker's Daughter- The Last Laugh (fella's been on a Danger Mouse kick) Gnarls Barkley- St. Elsewhere and The Odd Couple (see above; both have been lost in burnt cd hell for a while and I still need to fill up my Walkman)
This week's rotation: Tom Waits - Blue Valentine, The Stooges, Nick Cave, the Pixies. More importantly, I've actually seen some bands recently. Besh o droM - Hungarian gypsy folk rock energetic brilliance. Also on myspace. Barons of Tang - local Melbourne band doing 'gypsie deathcore'. Suitcase Royale - another local band & theatre group I saw recently. Graveyard Train - Melbourne country/horror band.
Terrordrome II compilation (with Chosen Few, DJ Fistfuck, Cyanide, Annihilator, Shadowrun, Technohead, Wedlock, Tellurian, Vinyl Killer, Maniac of Noize, Analyzer, A Blunted Vision, Lenny Dee & Ralphie Dee, High Energy, Oral Maniac, Re-Animator, Speedloader, Noisegate, Sons of Aliens,Vitamin, Original Gabber, Salami Brothers, Strontium 9000, Milan, Triplet, Haardcore...) which up to this day, since I have heard it in 1996, remains my favorite hardcore techno thing. And a bunch of Aphex Twin/AFX releases (mostly the 90s stuff, up to Drukqkqwzwihdtiuhthoweveryouspellthat)
@notwolf: strangely enough, my handle at last.fm is JiveKitty. @Viral_Progenitor: Yay, Ulver! Also, what is Sigh's new one like in comparison to their other albums?
Lupe Fiasco - Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor Nick Drake - Bryter Layter Nasum - Helvete Isis - Celestial Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill Akercocke - Choronzon Black Label Society - Hangover Music Vol. VI Charles Mingus - The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady Coil - Musick to Play in the Dark Isis - Panopticon
@icelandbob That Grindcore at the BBC album looks fantastic. The earliest memory I have of hearing music not played by my parents (i.e. not musicals or Dolly Parton) was seeing John Peel on some kids' show playing Napalm Death (might have been Lawnmower Deth) for about fifteen seconds. Massively nostalgic.
@Icelandbob: Have you read "Choosing Death?" It actually follows Napalm Death, and really Earache in general, through those and has a lot of behind the scenes stuff from that period in death metal. It's a good read.
out of all of those peel-grind bands, HERESY is the only one i like, and even then im much more into the bands they influenced later on who got even faster. still that record looks nuts!
new stuff PUNCH-eyeless 7" (female vocals/fastcore mixed with youth crew?? yes.) UX VILEHEADS first 7"(punkpunkpunk from sweden. kids from DS13/REGULATIONS/dennis from refused's younger brother) FALL SILENT/WELLINGTON split 7" (metal core attack from two desert bands)
also RINGERS-hurry up and wait 12" ep (jangly pop punk, with a long last track that i like to describe 'what SOCIAL DISTORTION would sound like if they were good") EXTORTION-loose screws 10" (best extreme band in Australia? well, no, that would be AGENTS OF ABHORRENCE. but still....) HUMMINGBIRD OF DEATH/CHAINSAW TO THE FACE split 10" (unbelievably fast) WALLS-s/t 12" and yet again, CONVERGE-axe to fall 12"
@Sobreiro, the same thing hapens to me, sometimes jazz can be soooo boring... i used to think in boredom as a negative thing, but now for me, is the ultimate weapon, & it can be armed whith just a yawn.
