Currently Spinning

Yesterday it was my first big-screen dvd session with:
Primus - Hallucino-Genetics tour
Led Zeppelin - 2003
AC/DC - live at Knebworth
Muse - Hullaballoo
MC5 - Live at the 100 Club with Lemmy and Dave Vanian...

Smashing rock eve - not as good sounding as cd but the 6' screen makes up for it..

 

Currently spinning an album that makes it into my personal top ten.

Beautiful, life afirming stuff.



Or as the reviewers on Amazon say..

'This is THE essential Smashing Pumpkins, even if its reputation has diminished in the last 9 years to the extent that its flawless pre-cursor is invariably lauded above it.'


A bullet with butterfly wings.

Dr Alex Paterson's - Voyage Into Paradise

Picked this up yesterday while looking through The Orb section, best track Aqua Sufi by Industrial Suicide Tribe, shame it's import only cost £19.

 

AC/DC - Stiff Upper Lip Tour live DVD (amazing how Angus still does his ridiculous "strip" after all these years - he'll be collecting his pension soon!)
Praxis - Transmutation
Zillatron -Lords of the Harvest (crazy mutant funk-rock with Bootsy, Bill Laswell, Bernie Worrell and Buckethead)
Ween - Live DVD (nerd-rock at it's best!)
Jamaaladeen Tacuma/Derek Bailey/Calvin Weston - Mirakle (crazy mutant free-jazz-funk, to be highly recommended for those who are really free..)

 

Dirty Vegas - One
Amorphous Androgynous - the isness / the otherness - this has to take the award for 'the maddest packaging ever' although sasha's involver is close
cheers

Classics in their own way all of 'em - but this I had forgotten about. Not heard it for over 25 years but I can remember these lyrics:-
"Don't give a damn I don't ****in' care/
Gonna kill me Mum & Dad and pull out me hair/
Tired of the dole and the human race/
I'm gonna cut me liver out and shove it in your face - KILL!!!!!!!"

Genius.

Thanks for the memory.

Blimey

The Albertos got censored automatically! How un-punk.

Some excellent stuff on there, including 3 of my all-time favourite singles (Swell Maps, Subway Sect, Pere Ubu). And some utter shite. Eater? Good grief.

Currently spinning....

Nothing - I am, for the first time in 30 years, without a record player.

 

Enigma - MCMCX A.D.

 

Tom Waits - Closing Time.

...and relax.

 

Hi,

Currently enjoying Talib Kweli - The Beautiful Struggle.

SCIDB

 

Propellerheads - Decksanddrumsandrockandroll

Thanks to Julian and Michael.

 

Just finished listening to:
Thee Michelle Gun Elephant - Gear Blues (cracking Japanese garage rock)
Nils Landgren Funk Unit - Live in Montreux (seriously jazz-funky)

Now it's going to be The Monochrome Set singles - sadly missed and sadly undervalued. They certainly show Franz Ferdinand a thing or two!

 

This weekend I have mostly been listening to:

Liquid Tension Experiment
Heart - Greatest Hits
Porcupine Tree - Signify
Brahms - Symphony No.2

 

Underworld - all their albums - alphabetically - feel the power of my fully operational squeezebox.

 

Marvin Gaye: Anthology (2CD):

This one arrived over two weeks ago and it has been in the spinner each day since then.
