i love arthur russell
will def pick up the vinyl reissue

[Brother Stasi]

The New "The Veils" album (Sun Gangs)
... They basically sound like the love child of Morrissey and Nick Cave. Great album, but not quite as great as Nux Vomica (their last album)

Also I also HIGHLY recommend Battant's No Head. A slightly more dancy version of early Siouxie Sioux.

i though is a new compilation made by guys
from audika, isn't it? i was so surprised
the way the whole album is constructed...,
it starts with some great arranged country
and ends with almost disco stuff. somehow
it shows the next "side" of arthur, even though
some ideas are similar. IMHO almost every album
by him is different then others, and every
is a masterpiece.

btw, there is a great documentary about russell
from last year... highly recommended!

Marissa Nadler - Little Hells

^ I'm having a lot of trouble getting into this. I mean, I respect the desire to switch up her approach, but I just don't think it works. the dark ethereality of her earlier work (as imo most fully and potently realized on songs III) is all but lost here, and in its stead we get a bunch of twee soft pop songs. I'm going to give this a few more listens before writing it off entirely, but so far no dice.

[Jorge Hache]

Agree mal, it's the first time i listen to this record but i expected a little more, maybe a little different...time will tell

[note]

Been listening to minimal synth albums I've overlooked, today it's ...



The Spoons - Collectible Spoons

i have been listening to gary numan's replica (redux--the 3 disc) reissue

soft machine's third
and kraftwerk's radioactivity (on vinyl)

machines! computers! technology! the future!!!!

(weird to think of robert wyatt as this fantastic drummer----i am so used to thinking of him as a paralytic singer/keyboardist, but boy did he have chops! i wonder if he thinks of his time before the wheelchair as some sort of weird dream now that he's lived longer on wheels than on legs------it is like that swamp thing motif----am i a man dreaming that he is a plant or a plant dreaming that he is a man?)

[BECOMING-INTENSE]

Patti Smith... Gandhi

One Two Three Four hundred
Thousand million people
People People...

Awake from your slumber Awake from your slumber
Awake from your slumber And get 'em with the numbers
Get 'em with the numbers Long live revolution
And the spinning wheel Awake awake
Is the mighty appeal Oh, people awake
Awake from your slumber And get 'em with the numbers
Get 'em with the numbers

[Kingdavid]

I just checked this now and I'm listening to Patti Smith, too, BECOMING-INTENSE.

TRAMPIN' is such a great album but somehow I don't get enough of HORSES. I think it's one of the best albums of all time and just never gets old.

Right now I have "Free Money" up pretty loud.

[BECOMING-INTENSE]

^yes, Horses, as a whole, is something very special,
and at the same time each song can stand by its own,
but with Patti Smith, I can't really think of a single album
I get tired of. Its a passion.
