Early Light Posting

Ah, I can see how Nuts felt when no-one was posting. Anyway, it is Sunday, cold, bright sunshine, so a trio for you dug up while fishing for tunes for Hard-Baps:

1. Drunk On Salt Water - Xela

2. Shousetsu - Radicalfashion

Two low-fi-ish numbers, perhaps best consumed quietly late at night when everyone else has gone to bed.

3. Parade - Magazine

Probably not to everyone's taste. Recorded in 1978, Magazine were formed by Howard Devoto, who left the Buzzcocks after their first EP. Also written by bass player, Barry Adamson, who later went onto play for Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds.

Weekended...

Aloha,

Two fairly tranquil offerings suitable for the end of the weekend. Cheers for coming down yesterday. Good time had by all I reckon and about to crack on with the Nuts CD...

First up, Minotaur Shock, a Bristol lad, who was also in a band called Bronze Age Fox. Funnily enough, I answered a small ad for them when I first started at university there. Nice bunch, but all my gear was up in London, and never really got it together:

Don't Be A Slave To No Computer - Minotaur Shock

Then a bit of a low-key folk number with a horn line worthy of Lalo Schiffrin (probably nicked from some such source):

Calling On - The Memory Band

More info on them here.

Laters,

For Thistle

He'll know the tune inside out but nothing else seemed quite right today - plus it's the only Icelandic music I've got and I didn't want to let Nick down. As a bonus, here are some other bona fide Sugarcubes classics - from the days when Bjork was genuinely trying to act like a pixie, wearing her hair in bunches and shit.

Sugarcubes - Birthday (probably their best known tune and the one that got them an NME cover)

Sugarcubes - Fucking in Rhythm and Sorrow (silly but infectious)

Sugarcubes - Motorcrash (my favourite - great lyrics)

Sugarcubes - Deus (Icelandic theology)

springy

nebraska: bruce springsteen

you might have this already but in case not... some of his earliest stuff. whole album is amazing.

in the meantime

was in middle of sorting out some tunes to post when this started playing on random on my pod. deeep.

pepe bradock deep burnt

p.s. loads of my tunes don't show up when I look in folder where I thought they were all kept. vast majority still there but key bits gone walkabout. they are still there to play but when I look through yousentit dem no deh. ??

And now for something completely different

It seems to me that it's impossible to dislike this piece of pure noisemongering. Your mileage may vary.

Butthole Surfers - Goofy's Concern

And then here's a great track from Sparklehorse's first album, 1995's rolls-off-yer-tongue Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot. For some reason I find the line about awakening with spiders on your eyelids moving. Will have to try it out for real one day.

Sparklehorse - Rainmaker

Nick Techno...

Just a quick one to say that Wadaldo's first techno post is none other than 'Clear' by Cybotron, circa 1983. Cybotron were Juan Atkins and Richard Davis and also mentioned on Wikipedia is one Jon 5 (who knows what happened to him!). Juan Atkins was also behind Model 500.

Technospodically yours,

Thistle-Eye

Halcyon Daze

Nice one chaps - just had a fresh raid for upcoming bus journeys - will get back with thoughts. In return, a couple of back atcha...

First up, back to our old school, with some prime Moving Shadow jungle:

Mr Logic - Cloud 9

Produced by one Gavin Cheung (aka Nookie), an engineer for a lot of Ray Keith tunes.

Going back a little earlier also on Moving Shadow:

Space Cakes - Kaotic Chemistry

North London posse in da place, indeed... Love those stabs. Kaotic Chemistry included Rob Playford on the credits, he of much Goldie production and most famously, Renegade Snares. Was on the bus the other day and a guy had Renegade Snares blaring out of his tinny 'phones. It was most unmistakeable...
