Speaking of Cherry Red comps, been relistening to all their glam ones- Velvet Tinmine, Boobs, Glitterbest, Bubble Pop...all stuffed with cut-price knock-off bubblegum trax by brickies in mascara with a knack for making the catchiest of catchy catchy songs.


For no particular reason other than a wee bit too much coffee earlier, I'll compile a mini-glam comp for y'all 'cause it's one of the best genres:

Space Waltz - Fraulein Love: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FBEn6DhAYcM

Brett Smiley - April In Paris https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xZQuXoqMraY

Jet - Nothing to Do With Us (great band made up of all the members Sparks left in the UK when they buggered off home) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zq7GwJQGt3M

Simon Fisher Turner - Baby, I've Gotta Go (dude who did the scores to all those Jarman movies) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3wLqzdbxJpc

The Hollywood Brats - Sick On You https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3O_0wyXvTTU

Metro - Criminal World https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7rAKyz8M1CI

Sadistic Mika Band - Time Machine. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mcZZjarhf9g

Lou Reed (almost always at his best when he's being a bratty bitch) - Shooting Star. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqYQU9kERLQ

Rats - Turtle Dove  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=95K9b502Vxg

Well post your lists in your other place then, I'm sure there are lots of other sites where people can tediously list what they've recently played without comment or discussion. However, it's been quite clearly stated that they're not wanted here. I do agree with that decision but I'd find it extremely irritating that people consistently ignore that guidance even if I liked dull lists of whatever people have played that day. There's a post above where it doesn't even mention an artist, just a link to a spotify playlist. What a waste of space. It's a fucking disgrace.

Your 4 posts of complaining in this thread add up to less worth than a broken link to a Gary Glitter song.

I have to confess I'm quite attracted to the no-frills presentation of bands/artists in "list threads" and have indeed, on many an occasion, taken the time to go through them, page by page, seeking out "Cabbers of interest" and having a good old listen. So I kind of get a bit annoyed when some people get all uppity about them. But, equally, I love it when people take the time to start a new post and passionately expound at length about new stuff or whatever, so...

Quote from: non capisco on October 27, 2019, 08:49:23 PMThis thread coincided with me having an evening in getting excited about the back channels of my gargantuan Spotify 'liked songs' list, just putting it on shuffle and chucking whatever came up that was good into a long playlist for work.

Nice bit of Eddy Current Suppression Ring you got in there, where'd you pick that up?

I don't see this as any different from the "Non-2019 Films You've Seen" thread in the Films bit.

I've really been enjoying this. The Billy Gibbons track and the one with Jake Shears on are excellent.

Sin Agog

I was thinking one way you could get past the hegemons here is by *runs a search on RYM* starting a thread on the has-to-be-utterly-crap single 'What Are You Listening To?' by contemporary country artist Chris Stapleton and getting everyone to frame their posts like so: "Chris Stapleton's music brings to mind...Hannah Diamond's latest single, Doyly Carte Opera Company's exemplary recording of The Mikado, and a bit of Orange Juice.'

Haha, that song's absolute bollocks!

But it IS what I am listening to...

Bad rhymes in this

I put that record on
Girl you know what song
And I let it play again and again

Holding every line
Take me back in time
Yeah tonight I'm wondering

What are you listening to
Is it a cover band in some college town bar
Where it's na-na-na's and air guitars

It's not a patch on his Nurse With Wound stuff.

Lingua Ignota - Caligula

It's very operatic and dark and banshee-like and strangely regal. The voice on her! This kind of thing either works or it doesn't but I think this is a gorgeously raging album dealing with the abusive partners she's had and she's got such an expressive voice.

Yes, that's real lyrics from the Stereophonics. "Bust this Town", it is the most recent song I've heard and the worst in a long time.

The actual musical ideas are dreadful, it's got such a static, dull guitar lick that sounds like someone just repeating their prescribed practice from The Rough Guide to Guitar Scales that belies the production, which seems to want to coat the back-of-an-envelope lyrics in something fierce and energetic, though all that achieves is highlighting the gulf between such staid, dull music and the aim of the track.

Come on!
So long!
Long gone!
Tomorrow's too late
It's now or it's never


And this cunt is a professional? I've read more invigorating radiography reports in Big Oil. Lyrically this is a total wallow in cliché. Who thought somebody screaming at you to "come on" could be so fucking dour?

The only way this song is a success if it's an attempt to replicate, in audio form, someone else's dirty bathwater: murky, tepid, and full of piss.

1/10
The 1 is for the idea of the Stereophonics doing one.

Come on!
So long!
Long gone!
Tomorrow's too late
So bye, bye, bye!

Kelly Jones has a teenage daughter who is a) a lesbian and b) called Lolita Bootsy Jones.

Typical teenager, rebelling against everything their parents hold dear.  In this case by having a personality.  Makes me sick.

What about that record of theirs about how you can make millions of matches out of one tree but it only takes one matche to burn a lot of trees - ahhhh!   Pop music's gain is philosophy's loss, I'm sure.

I've been listening to the first half of The Fall's I Am Kurious Oranj on my way to work the past couple of days. Kurious Oranj the song is ridiculously good to walk along to and had me wondering if it's been used in any films or television work.

Been listening to the recent Pixies demos quite a bit lately too. They're a lot more raw and loose than most of the new songs off Beneath the Eyre.

But of course.

I'd love to see a recording of the ballet they did with it.

Busted out my old Jewelled Antler Library boxset recently.  Was a dozen or so eps by different droney, field recordingy, lo-fiey and sometimes tantalizingly melodic...y (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJqutcAa8j4) artists.  I mean, most of them have done better stuff elsewhere, but as a whole it's such a fucking magical cleansing treasure trove.

I've finally tracked down the complete Tony Williams Lifetime set from Montreux 1971 (a few minutes of the video are on YouTube but its ropey quality).  Larry Young is killing it on "There Comes A Time" - his work on the Hammond is far louder than on the "Ego" version and it adds a much spookier and heavier punch on the live jam.

Frightened Rabbit for me.

Always fascinated by musicians that wear their hearts on there sleeves, Neil Young, his whole life is on vinyl, Joy Division, Ian Curtis buried his depression quite deeply in his songs but when he killed himself, it all became obvious..

But Scott Hutchison lead singer and leader in general of Frightened Rabbit didn't hide it. Last year he killed himself almost exactly as he wrote in his song (a beautiful song BTW), 'Floating in the Forth'. Other songs too relate to death and suicide, 'Heads Roll Off', 'Fast Blood'. Eerie and scary....

Captivating....
