I think both BST and Timeless have held up remarkably well...so have the "other two" jungle artist LP's (Deepest Cut, Parallel Universe, smooth jazz sax break notwithstanding)...(I also have that crappy initial pressing of BST, which makes any stereo/iPod sound like a transistor radio)...I'm not...

oh, I almost forgot this one: the Pale Saints cover of "Fell From The Sun", in which a 4AD band janglicizes a grand, sweeping tune written by a former member of Rain Parade, erstwhile members of the Paisley Underground...as Bart Simpson would say, "the ironing is delicious"...

has anybody yet mentioned the Talking Heads version "Take Me To The River"?...until I heard the Al Green version (was his the original?) I also had no idea it was meant to be so spiritual, baptismal...(like duh, it's only there in the lyrics)... also: Tricky's "Black Steel", taking PE into...

I am in agreement on the general decline of MR after the first few LPs...I've often wondered how much the departure of resident nutter David Baker had to do with this (and I've also often wondered why didn't he ever hook up with Pavement's resident nutter Gary Young...the train wreck they could...

also worth seeking out is the "Car Wash Hair" EP, with that 50-minute hidden track that consists of a noise montage peppered with (I think) samples taken from a hidden mic during the therapy session of one of the band members...(if that's not true, I'd like to believe it is)...

directly related to this discussion about technology/effort in music are the Walker Brother recordings of the sixties, which attempted to duplicate Phil Spector's Wall Of Sound, but could not use multi-tracking (as I am aware, British musicians unions banned it to protect the livelyhood of...

4 Hero - Mr. Kirk's Nightmare Alice Cooper - Sick Things Ennio Morricone - The Thing OST Alien Sex Fiend - Haunted House Cypress Hill - Illusions

too many to name, but for now: Neal Howard - Indulge Alice Cooper - Escape Saint Etienne - Spring Todd Rundgren - Slut Playgroup - Number One Five Stairsteps - Ooh Child Ariel Pink - The Ballad Of Bobby Pyn

is that Wooden Wand LP named after the lead guitarist from Blue Oyster Cult? Espers cover BOC's "Flaming Telepaths" on their new EP... just what is this freak-folk/BOC connection?

speaking of "tarting up", there was a story making the rounds a few years back that none other then Tom Cruise was interested in producing a Shaggs biopic, and was even going to play Austin Wiggins in it...that is a train wreck I would have loved to see...(more so than the upcoming Diane Arbus...

this may not apply to this thread, but didn't N*E*R*D re-record their first album, such that it could be marketed differently to Europe (I'm a little bit electronic) and North America (I'm a little bit rock and roll)?...or did they just tweek the mix?

"I welcome the problems and exploit the uncertainties. By embracing contradiction as well as complexity, I aim for vitality as well as validity." "I like elements which are hybrid rather than "pure," compromising rather than "clean," distorted rather than "straightforward," ambiguous rather than...

rhymin' and stealin' - beastie boys (sweet leaf)

good idea for a thread...reminds me of work or school, when you realize you've been seeing the same person nearly every day for several months, but never been properly introduced, and so much time has lapsed that it's embarassing to ask them for their name (and you both know it), so you just nod...

what the heck, sounds like fun...I'd like to be involved too, please...

the "Song Of The Humpback Whales" LP...and maybe Gene Clark...

Spring are a French band who exist somewhere between Moose and Saint Etienne...Russell Yates has guested on their stuff, and Spring's singer was on Moose's third LP...and let's not forget the great cover art on the various Moose LP's and EP's, which perfectly translates their sound...

Moose were also namechecking Jimmy Webb, Glen Campbell and Lee Hazlewood a good ten years before it became "fashionable" to do so...as a band, they really got the shaft, probably because they were considered part of a scene they didn't belong in (it's pretty unfair that when you see the word...

"My feeling is that canoninaztion is bad all round... not necessarily because it's false, but because it produces cultural stultification... once something achieves that quality of the untouchable, mandatory, it is well nigh impossible to encounter it as odd, weird, fugitive" well put...could...

too right about "So Now" (the sole survivor from "Around The House" on my iPod)...the other Herbert track I keep going back to is "Freeze", which was on one of those Freezone comps back in the day...maybe a bit too Paul Hardcastle, but lovely still...that's the Herbert I like...
