They haven't done much for me either. Anyone else seen their video. It looks like a performance from OGWT. More specifically it looks like Talking Heads famous early performance there. > Unlike the new Darkness Record which sounds like The Sweet on speed. I > should think Mr Astbury will have a wry comment... Not heard it, Chris, though I have to say there are few bands I hate more than The Darkness. Sweet on speed though? I was watching an old TOTP2 yesterday and it had Fox On The Run on it. What a glorious single that is! > NP Microdisney - 39 Minutes one from the late 80's & still pleasant enough > if sounding very late 80's ! > I presume alot of listees remember them ? I used to play a compilation a mate did of them whenever I did a spot of ironing. Ideal for it! K. np the nightingales - in the good old country way (cd out soon with lots of bonus tracks - notably the It's A Cracker single, the What A Carry On ep and a live Crafty Fag). ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 2 Oct 2005 11:48:17 -0700 (PDT) From: Ari Subject: [idealcopy] O.T: This from Graeme........ (hope none of you mind if I post the ocassional missive from him, if anyone objects email me) (pass on to IC if you like) I saw Ding in the bar at The Fall gig last night and I recall vaguely that he seemed to think that it was likely that the Ding/Josh/Rob Ellis PJH band might well record the next PJ Harvey album which is very good news I thought The Fall played the best gig I've ever seen them do last night, esp. Mountain Energei. In London I visited Notting Hill Exchange, Selectadisc & Reckless, so my listening over the last couple of days has been mostly CDs (and one record) which I bought in those shops. Also: Githead - Free Git EP (from Garage gig) Dirty Three - Cinder (new CD arrived in the post while I was away, courtesy of the ghost of Beethoven) Foetus - (not) adam EP (only a quid! Essential!) Hot Snakes - Peel Session EP Noxagt - Noxagt www.noxagt.com Touring Ungland from October 5th Subarachnoid Space - These Things Take Time Mission of Burma - Accomplished (the best of) withdrawn promo a snatch at 4 quid The Curse of Blondie (just 2 quid) Terry Edwards - No Fish is too Weird for her Aquarium Lydia Lunch - Matrikamantra (a fiver for 2 CDs) Pere Ubu - Terminal Tower (at last) Crossing the Red Sea with the Adverts (my vinyl is worn out, but 4 quid was worth it anyway just to read TV Smith's insightful lyrics) David Grubbs - Thirty Minute Raven The Real New Fall LP (Narnack blue vinyl, quality pressing w/Mad Mock Goth) Boss Hog - Winn Coma (rare Australian EP w/ 12XU cover) I also have a stack of promos liberated from the Flux office which is going to take me weeks to listen to, wheat from chaff, but the recent CD by Les Georges Leningrad sounds good. I have been listening to these CDs to review for Flux 51: KILLING JOKE - XXV GATHERING: LET US PREY Lone Lady - Hi Ho Bastard / Fear No More CDS Jackie O - Between Worlds of Gods and Whores Terry Edwards Bardo Pond - Selections: Volumes I-IV Howling Hex - You Can't Beat Tomorrow CD/DVD Bonnie Prince Billie - Summer in the South East Foetus - Love Matt Groening's ATP compilation I've also been listening to, these past 2 days: Gang Gang Dance - Gods Money Bardo Pond - Cypher Documents I Pere Ubu - Arkansas Githead - Profile Broadcast - Tender buttons Broadcast - Extended Play Two Broadcast - Last Peel Session w/Pendulum & 60/40 Akimbo - City of the Stars Boss Hog - Get It While You Wait CDEP The Best of Steel Pole Bath Tub The God Machine - Scenes from the Second Storey (best band to ever be overtly influenced by The Joke) Public Enemy - Rebirth of a Nation Killing Joke - Revelations Pixies - at the BBC Stooges first album bonus disc remaster Killing Joke's AWESOME debut album A few other lone songs I listened to yesterday whilst washing my socks, Akimbo T-shirt & Oxfam wardance trousers & wading into a Grohlsch 24 pack: Black Eyed Snakes - Chicken Bone George Subhumans - Rats Bob Dylan - Man in the Long Black Coat Nick Cave - Betty Coltrane Raveonettes - Love in a Trash Can Blondie - Under the Gun / Screaming Skin Killing Joke - Inferno / Tabazan / Night Time L7 - American Society Distorted Pony - Jahr Null (well ya did ask, Jamie... my TV went out a window years ago & I listen to music every possible waking moment) It was quite pleasant to have a day off from gigging and blast all this great music and type up a few reviews. But last night the madness kicked off again with The Fall, the band I have witnessed more then any other. Nowhere near as many times as my friend Fat Alex, the notorious bootlegger, who has seen them 180 times, but its still uncountable. Random violence seems to be escalating in Manchester right now. The more the politicians clench the tired timid fist of control, the more the populace goes crazy: Mathematics of Chaos? Recently the owner of Olympic Taxis was shot dead in happy Chorlton. The boyfriend of the woman who lives in the flat below mine lives on the same street this happened. There are a couple of the posters featuring the first KJ album cover advertising the Astoria gig brightening up the corner under the railway bridge near the Beaconsfield gallery (close to Vauxhall tube). I found the Chronic Epoch installation to be very interesting and highly recommend it to all Killing Joke fans. CM von Hausswolff's audio visual record of his trip to Egypt is especially excellent. It runs until 20th November. Bruce Gilbert will be making some noise there at 2pm on Sunday 2/10. Chronic Epoch www.beaconsfield.ltd.uk Dunno about Sham 69, but if Tory Bliar could just be honest for once then maybe he'd have chosen "Great British Mistake" or "Cast of Thousands" or "Fate of Criminals" by the Adverts for his lackey ovation stint. FAST FORWARD TO THE FUTURE: Twattytory leader spews up at the podium to "Sheep Farming in the Falklands" & "Mother of a 1000 Dead" by Crass. See this vomit, voters? I'm down with the kids me! Meanwhile, prince Harry shares a crack pipe in the Buckingham Palace loos with Peter Doherty before he accepts his MBE for services to the discredit of punk rock. Look, the kids are united, right? It must be true 'cos Tory Bliar says so and he found us all o' Mabas' weapons o' mass deduction, right? Jimmy Pursey is also available for crap ballet, maybe Charles Kennedy should bribe the dimbulb to win a few retro youth working class votes. HEXEN ZONE: P. Doherty, the ultimate regurgitation of style over substance that plagues the mainstream British music scene. Drop dead you vacuous piece of useless retro shit. You got yours! >The Adverts - Great British Mistake The Great British mistake was fighting the change, was staying the same It couldn't adapt so it couldn't survive... String out the drip feed They're losing their world They're losing their hard boys and magazine girls Advert illegal, TV as outlaw, motive as spell. The Great British Mistake was GETTING COMPLACENT ======================= Githead was a great gig... initially Malka's bass was so dominant that I had to move to the Scanner side, but that only lasted 2 songs. I thought they upped the ante with every song, which suggests a perfect setlist, hence my thought that a live Githead CDR would be a good idea. As for the T-shirt: perfect to wear in bed, especially when sharing it with a teenage girl! Nice to see ya! Messrs Rabjohn, Bursa, Lumbard & Grannel... also those mad Malka fanatics who travelled all the way from Israel, just to Githead.
