CDs today as its brew day - not able to change record/flip sides every 20 odd min:

The Puddle - Songs for Emily Valentine

The Majick Heads - Transvection

Dead Exes - Dead Exes

Uncut - Search and Destroy

Mojo - Heavy Soul

 

Strangely the music on both the Uncut and the Mojo serve as touchstones for my current reading "Rip It Up and Start Again", particularly the chapter on Gang of Four and like-minded groups, they grew out of, yet rejected the sound of, the punk movement, instead adopting and adapting the edgy and fractured sounds found in funk and soul.

yeah! I'm sure the whanau would enjoy being woken up at midnight to "arseholes! barstards! 4kn kunts and prix!" at midnight. I reserve that record strictly for daylight hours, preferably midday on a sunny Sunday.

Exorcising Ghosts on vinyl? My original copy was on MC as I was at uni at the time and my Walkman went everywhere with me. The MC is now f'ed and i've looked for it on LP since but could never find it; only the CD which is missing a few key tracks.

 

My brother has our (shared copy) of the Linn pressing of "A Walk Across the Rooftops" :(

A man has to know his limitations:D I dont dare turn the volume past 8 o'clock and even then I get afraid and back it off to about half way between 7 & 8;)

Guest Guest

Echo and the Bunnymen - 'Crocodiles', vinyl

Echo and the Bunnymen - 'Ocean Rain', vinyl

 

Rage Against The Machine - First Album, vinyl

Lou Reed - 'Transformer', vinyl

 

These last two records are brand new audiophile pressings on the Music On Vinyl label. They sound fantastic! Quiet, smooth, just superb sound quality. I highly recommend this label!

Ah the 80s and the Crucial Three. Then Echo & the Bunnymen & Teardrop Explodes. The NME was a real touchstone in those days.

 

Now, I'm in dread of listening to that stuff again. At least from that period. It was like sex for the first time, drugs for the first time. Anything for the first time. It's pretty hard catching the same rush... :D

Back in the early 80's Echo & the Bunnymen played in a big tin shed on Riverlea Rd in Hamilton, now a panelbeaters? - draped with camoflauge netting to add some visual ambience, shame about the sonics. But their music meant a lot to me back then, so I was happy.

 

weekend listening:

 

second CD of King Crimson's 'concise KC' anthology. Well played by Mr Fripp & friends but rather naff lyrics. The first disc is better but some songs are abridged to fit on the disc, alas.

 

Roland Kirk (my new avatar, can't get much more horn-loaded than this guy) - Rip Rig & Panic, CD ex library sale.

 

RK explains the title in the notes, as his wake-up call to complacent muso's at the time.

Rip - dozing muso's - as in Rip van Winkle

Rig - they're in a state of rigor mortis

Panic - reaction of said musos when Roland unleashes his stritch, manzello, police whistles, etc!

 

The Rip Rig & Panic name was taken up by that 80's group of Brit funk-jazzers, who had Neneh Cherry (Don's daughter) on vocals, and some guys from the Pop Group. Haven't heard them, but would like to.

 

Finally, some live jazz at the Masonic on Sunday evening; the Manawatu Jazz Club's monthly meeting.

You are indeed correct Neil. Wonder who your favourite character was? ;)

 

Great show from the '80s but when the musical interludes came on it was always time for me to go off and get a drink of cocoa. Unless it was Motorhead or Dexys Midnight Runners.

My quest for a mint copy of this LP continues!

Anyone have one they want to sell? Must be MINT though. Or will swap for two EX UK copies, or 2 EX+/NM NZ copies.

My wife is away and my 2 yr old son's education on 80's synth pop continues. Fortunately he seems to like it:

 

Erasure: ' Wild' - nice upbeat, 80's synth pop.

Yazoo- ' Upstairs at Eric's.' Nice, melodic synth melodies.

Alphaville : Forever Young - one of my favourite 80's bands that hardly anybody knows of in NZ. Lush, teutonic keyboards.

Men Without Hats - Pop Goes the World - the title track is almost a pop tune for a 2 year old. Works well. Nicely recorded, forgotten album.

Electronic 'Electronic' - not quite 80's but sounds like it. Spoonfuls of New Order and The Smiths with some sprinkling of Pet Shop Boys. Nice.
