Music Shit / Re: What Are You Listening To And What Do You Have To Say About it? PART VI

Laughing Hyenas, Merry Go Round 2xLP reissue - Haven't listened to this band in years, but picked this up with some store credit for some reason. Still sounds pretty good - "Gabriel" into "Play Ground" in particular is a pretty ferocious two-fer. Played back-to-back with Rat King's Godsend, the Hyenas kinda got leveled. I never saw them live so maybe that's what props these recordings up. As is, I don't see this getting much play around here. Who wants it?

Yellow Eyes, Immersion Trench Reverie LP - My pick for ambassadors of US black metal. Sick With Bloom was more relentless compared to Immersion's almost airy guitar lines, though more of this new LP is getting stuck in my head.

Carla dal Forno, The Garden 12" EP - In which I finally get what all the hype is about.

Mosquitoes, MOS-002 one-sided 12" - Thank you, Jay Hinman, for showing me the light (Dynamite Hemorrhage #5). This record's fuckin' awesome. A confused, dubby 15 or so minutes, leaving rhythm in tact but chopping the other bits (strained/strangled guitar, mumbled vocals) to smithereens. Cost like $30 to get it here; well worth it. I believe ever/never has some Mosquitoes stuff coming soon? Looking forward to more.

Heron Oblivion, s/t LP - Slow sunny weekend morning music. Best guitar solos in the biz.

Unrelated: Anyone distributing the new LPs from R.I.P. Society? Native Cats and Snake & Friends (Al from Total Control, UV Race, etc.)? Anxious to get my mitts on those two.

Although I think Rat King are incredible and vastly underrated (probably in Top 10, maybe even Top 5 Aussie bands/LPs of semi-recent vintage) I think the idea of them leveling Laughing Hyenas seems like an insane thought...

That new Snake & Friends "record" is amazing (I just keep listening online until someone gets the vinyl (please!)

One of the greatest voices ever, obviously.

...you never grew up hearing that voice on the radio every ten fucking minutes, obviously.

Oh I did. It really never registered with me how good it really is until the past few years though.

fair enough. you're a better man than me richie. cause if i never hear that sailing song or if y'think i'm sexy or any of his stuff ever again it will be too fucking soon. same goes for the stones, bowie, zepplin and about 10,000 other classic rock acts. i'm not narrow minded, i just hate it.

The trick is to act like anything recorded after 1980 doesnt exist...

FYI, there's a transcription error wrt ("obscene") poet "Leonard Candel"; should read Lenore Kandel (1932-2009). This is the chapbook that caused the trouble; very interesting woman, sorta tragic later life because of bad 1970 motorcycle accident.

I was trying to figure this one out in editing (I swear) and my futile web searches giving no results (and my own lack of knowledge regarding the subject) made me figure it was too obscure for the internet - which I should have known wasn't true. Thanks for the correction and I apologize for the error -

oh my pleasure; didn't mean to abrubt above, thanks for posting, it was good to see Byron riffing at length on  poetry; makes an interesting complement to the book reviews he and others did back in the Forced Exosure days. The Beat, Bukowski and Richrd Meltzer elements were already there. Thanks for posting. Lenoke Kandel is a bit obscure though Grove Press came to the rescue with the 1967 "Word Alcemy" after "The Love Book" trouble. Here's a good overview of her work with examples of her work:

Speaking of Meltzer and poetry, some hero uploaded the "Ryhmes With Seltzer" VHS tape I didn't even know existed before, looks like it begins with a "Gulcher"-reissue related reading c. 1990:

Woah, this Meltzer thing is a heavy find.....

First heard = pretty sure it was the Pistols via my dad. Might have been Damnedx3 though.

First "punk" record I bought with my own money - ROIR tape of Dictators live ("Fuck Em if they Cant Take A Joke" - my dad is/was a big Dictators fan, saw em live a few times) or Ramones 'Rocket to Russia' bought out of the discount bin at Gold Circle - not sure which came first (I was buying all this stuff alongside a steady diet of Van Halen, Kiss and Blondie)

Yeah, I've even dipped into some solo Rod after my Faces phase (bailed before the 80s though). One of the greatest voices ever, obviously.

Anyone watch A Futile and Stupid Gesture on Netflix yet? Got it queued up now....

I enjoyed it. It's got a direct to video vibe, which netflix seems to be gunning for full-tilt at this point. Tom Lennon is goddamn excellent in it - worth watching for his and Matt Walsh's performances, if nothing else. On the topic of Wain, I was very glad to see Wet Hot American Summer is back on Netflix (or about to be), I sincerely hope the fart track is included

Did you watch the newest one - I think it's supposed to be like 20 years later and a reunion or some shit - LOVE the original

ANNIHILATION - thought it was pretty good. I think the whole thing gets screwy/lost at the end, but hey it was a good effort and who said sci-fi had to make sense. Apparently the guy interpreted the novel via a dream or some shit. Not sure if the ending is supposed to be so "open" though, but who knows. Good sci-fi that at least had me thinking and had some cool shit in it.

WHIP IT - that rollerderby movie Drew Barrymore directed. Didnt plan on watching it, but I felt like shit and sat down and it just started so there I was....wasn't too bad. I mean, I'll watch Juliette Lewis in anything, she's the greatest. I still have never gone to see the roller derby league here and never will. Was watching the credits and caught that the band in the movie was Turbo Fruits. Yikes.

In one of those zones where I have to put on 'Great Punk Hits' everyday when I get home and just end up playing it for the rest of the night. G-Zet tracks are my current obsession. Not too much else even sounds worthwhile after you listen to these bands and start thinking about it.

In the car: Rik & The Pigs LP still, Ropes 'Cleveland' demo (one of the only good Dead Boys covers ever), lotso Mummies action lately (still G.O.A.T.), Mystic Inane singles comp (heard theyre recording a new one soon), Soul Jazz 'Miami Sound' comp, Brown Sugar stuff, a 'Best of KBD' mix I made a few years ago I found under a seat, old school hip hop channel on Sirius, NHL Network (how about those deadline deals? meh...) and a lot of Howard 100/101.

Keith drives the rhythm for the Stones.

The slight-off timing is also what made the Stones sound so cool.

If the Stones timing was perfect, people would complain that it sounded stiff. It's not like they were trying to sound as tight as Dream Theater.

This is what I always thought too.
