What albums did you listen to today?...continued

Don Bradshaw-Leather | The Distance Between Us — thanks again to David for introducing this into my life, and I envy him insanely for actually owning a copy...

Styx | Paradise Theater — not bad for the morning drive. The hits are great.

Faux Fur | s/t — an offshoot of indie pop group Women, I think. Interesting guitar work

Guerilla Toss | GT Ultra — a recent favorite of mine, like a Deerhoof/B-52s hybrid. One of my fav 2017 albums. Pretty accessible, thou earlier albums are punkier and weirder

Monks of Doom | The Insect God EP — more Monks. Loved this band in the 90s. Title track may be their ultimate epic

Ian Dury & the Blockheads | Do it Yourself — just a cool guy.

Dr. Demento | Dr. Demento Covered in Punk — amazing new compilation of punk covers of Demento classics. The highlight is Brak (from. Space Ghost) singing Institutionalized by Suicidal Tendencies. Holy mother of god.

Black Mountain | s/t — their first and best IMO. Classic rock albums still appear now and then.

Melt-Banana | Scratch or Stitch — incredible Japanese madness. What genre is this anyway?

The Residents | Our Tired, our Poor, our Huddled Masses — a fine 2 disc anthology from the 90s which covers some 80s material I don’t otherwise have

L You should definitely take another chance with Putting Off Death. I'd start the album backwards for an ulterior passage into pleasure. Last track Hymn is absolutely gorgeous. Btw Steve, I mentioned this a couple of pages back, but you should check out the new Trojan Horse album Fukushima Surfer Boys. You were the first person I thought of when I heard it.

The Cheer Accident album sounded really good on the first couple of listens, I just haven’t revisited it since. Not as immediate as the last couple of albums but the same genius is definitely there.

F E A R is Everywhere....

^Never thought that, but now when you´re saying it, you´re right! Anyway that part works to me really well in both songs.

As a child of the 80s you should know better Steve. It's obviously the ghost in the machine. If all else fails, trust Sting.

I'm glad you're still enjoying the Don...and yes I do have a copy, but I am almost a hundred percent certain it's a bootleg. Bought in Valetta airport Malta no less Man I wasn't ready for the Don at that time...but somehow in a beautiful strange Nostradamusque way, I must've known that my tastebuds soon were to be replaced with all new receptors.

Yes those Fukushima Surfer Boys should do you some good. I'd bet a beet on it.

Os Mutantes: "A" E O "Z"

Court is masterpiece. Of course I haven´t listened it a lot many years, but always when I listened it, it just sounded great to me. I don´t think there has made many albums after seventies that is as great as it is.

Genesis | A Trick of the Tail — still amazes after all these years

Ut Gret | Recent Fossils — recent grab. Especially enjoyed their hour-long take on Terry Riley’s “In C”

Shonen Knife | Minna Tannoshiku — A bit of Japanese fun

Sun City Girls | Valentines from Matahari — a great noisy free jazzy effort from those nuts

Savoy Motel | s/t. — Nashville indie rock band I saw as an opening band last year and their sole album has become one of my most played albums. Just adorable white funk with a drummer I have a huge crush on. Just get a load of Jessica:



Magma | Theusz Hamtaakh Trilogie —. Only got thru the first part of the trilogy today. Work interfered.

Lenny Bruce | The Real Lenny Bruce — Lenny on vinyl. With poster inside. Great double album of well-chosen highlights from his 50s/60s albums. I love this guy.

What do you think Beefheart´s Unconditionally? I think it´s one of his weakest, but little better than Moonbeams. Listen anyway those albums also sometimes. Magma´s trilogy is just great! Saw them last October, they played there Emehntehtt-Re whole through, first part of that trilogy and Ehn Deiss as encore. What a gig it was!

Beefheart’s Unconditionally Guaranteed isn’t bad at all, though it is my least favorite of his albums. I give Bluejeans a slight edge over it. As for Magma, They’ve always been a top-tier prog group for me. I saw them in their first US appearance in San Fran in 1999 (at Prog Fest), and I count it among the highlights of my life, musical or otherwise. They played Kohntarkosz, Hhai, and MDK.
