Can't believe Eno is getting such a soft rap here. Beyond U2, there's other crimes - The Passengers, producing James, just about everything he did after "Thursday Afternoon"... That's, of course, not to say that the work up to the early 80s wasn't completely transcendent, but nonetheless...

Buick6 on the money *yet again*. The Drones. Fantastic. Just signed to ATP/R I do believe...

AIH make me feel embarrassed to be Australian.

Does anyone know much about this Japanese electronics label from the late 70s/early 80s? They released the Aunt Sally record (Phew's first group - WOEBOT on the prowl!) but I'm more interested in knowing about the electronic titles on the label - Tolerance, Dada, etc.. - I've found one or two...

Yeah I wondered about where this information came from exactly, but it is apparently true. Hollis turned up a year or two ago to accept some award for sales from No Doubt's cover of "It's My Life", there's a photo somewhere on the web of him looking quite uncomfortable in a record company...

SIRR records also did a great 'tribute' disc to Chris Marker entitled Sul, and they've released a double CD of 'tributes' to Stockhausen's Gesang der Junglinge. SIRR is a real quality label actually - their discs by Steve Roden and Jason Kahn are incredible - well worth checking out. As per...

Yes, but no-one had pegged Chris-Knox-is-Jandek yet, so you're still quite safely a cynical young hipster at heart, don't worry. ;)

Ha, the Thurston-Moore-is-Jandek meme has already done the rounds! As has the Thurston-Moore-is-the-interviewer-that-tracked-down-Jandek-a-few-years-ago meme...

I still remember that review. Love Child featured Alan Licht who had contributed to Forced Exposure on occasion so I just saw that review as some kind of in-joke... Re: Jandek, I think the mid-period records, On the Way, The Living End arehis most enjoyable & 'listenable'. I use that term...

I think someone may have already said this at ILM but the new Richard Davis album, Details, is very much in the Junior Boys vein (and much closer than those other examples, perhaps.) It's brilliant, though maybe a little over-long. That Superpitcher remix of that Dntel song is amazing! I'd...

Stelfox accidentally creates genre of the year: PREFECT POP

Sun City Girls not to be missed - unfortunately many classics are out of print. Try to get: Torch of the Mystics 330003 Crossdressers From Beyond the Rig Veda Kaliflower Valentines From Matahari Bright Surroundings, Dark Beginnings Live From Planet Boomerang ...I've always been fond of Piasa...

'Salvador Kali' is the ONE I think - esp. for the gorgeous piano piece that he drops midway through the disc. But all SRB is good. Definitely go see him - I had the chance earlier this year in Melbourne and it was fantastic, he has a good sense of humour, hopefully will pull out some surprising...

has anyone heard anything from diggedy derek walmsley? thoughts and love to all dissensus london & uk crew...

i heard from woebot, he is okay.

DOME LPs fantastic - also worth checking out Gilbert/Lewis' other collabs around the time - Cupol "Like This For Ages", Lewis/Gilbert "3R4" LP and "Ends With the Sea" 7" (I think they're all compiled on the "8 Time" CD on 4AD) and the Gilbert/Lewis/Mills "Mzui" LP. Plus a bit later on there's...

You are so right re: Basic Channel! Damn it though - I'm currently writing a piece on post-MBV music & I'd had Basic Channel down as one of the artists/etc who had followed through on the MBV blueprint in some way. Actually I wonder if the Various Artists tracks on Chain Reaction and Fat Cat...

I listened back to XTRMNTR recently and "Accelerator" was the only track that stood out - I attribute this pretty much to Shields. Very funny that that song was meant to be a conscious tribute to the Royal Trux album of the same name (which had a really amazing, hyper-compressed, almost surreal...

Seconded, a classic record. Colm was also in that Clear Spot group, and is he involved with Le Volume Corube? I think Kevin was in some way... (Did you grab the singles off the Sandoval LP - a few amazing tracks that shoulda been on the record proper - if not message me and I'll get 'em over to...
