Music Shit / Re: School me on Shadow Ring (and related).

I prefer the more electronic/less stringy TSR of the Goss years. The Hold Onto CD is a fine way to start things off in my book. Haven't heard Wax Work Echoes yet. Also, I've yet to plunge into their later period.

Lighthouse is their best, of course.

Solos: Amateur Doubles and the 2nd Call Back the Giants ruled my 2011. Check out the Lambkin-Lescallet works, Chrizow, if you haven't. I can see you digging those hard.

It's been ages since I last played that Transmission CD (the Lambkin-Hoyos collab). I should be doing something about that now.

If it feels similar to having water in your ears it is. Had that two times (weird ear canal thing, doc said). First time was one of the most terrifying moments in my life.

LOVE THE WAX TALK.

The cleaning is disgusting. I never have to puke because of seeing stuff. That time, I got the closest. Afterwards I felt like having some crazy, bionic hearing, like, through walls 50m away. The traffic blew my mind up.

NP: sunshine acid!

Jammin' the Railway Raver LP hard. BR Posse EP also. Best feeling.

Yo, and it had to happen: "The Stott" is a style now. By way of Claro Intelecto. I hope this one will get eXXXploited to the maXXX! Adele buying a "bedroom" studio for the sum of 600 fat britz pounds and jamming it Stott-style.

The punk rest of my school punk years at the Gymnasium consisted of not-listening to metal anymore and compensating this by lots of pop-punkish shit. The skaters were a bad influence there.

I was not a punk in the sense it was recognized amongst folks. Thank god. I was not a "German punk".

On my last day of school I woke up in a terrible shit haze, couldn't remember a single thing that happened the night before. We had this thing at our school that on the last day of school a band consisting of pupes from the graduating year plays some tunes in the schoolyard. You had some silly shit like games (drinking games without alcohol? something like that) and some sort of "stand-ups" too. The repertoire of the bands following each other year after year was mostly the ueber-reg alternative pap of the early-mid 90s. It seemed like it didn't change at all during my stint at the Gymnasium - 9 years. We screwed this and ignored all track requests by our classes. I remember we played the Melvins which then was conceived by yours truly as thee perfect band. Awesome.

So, I was totally trashed, like, barely alive at all. I woke up in some corner of the school gym, went outside and the sunlight almost made me puke. Fittingly I was about to perform a vocal act with my folks backing me which consisted of the DKs "Too Drunk To Fuck" (I most definitely was) to these adorable children and their teachers. The lyrics we distributed to the front rows of 11- to 13-year olds on big cards, "Subterranean Homesick Blues" style. A Deutschpunk-cum-hippie buddy of mine did that for me as I was busy doing jerk off motions and thrashing equipment (swallowing the mike, trying to do it harm). This happened after I called ALL OF 'EM a bunch of little whores. I said "little" which is pretty neat, I think.

Everybody loved the experience theys got (the teachers showed this by burying their faces in their hands), so, they made me do it a second time as the finale, the definitive good-bye - mine was the last word spoken here. I thought it was gay but well, I "had to" (yeah, right). Told the little fucks to suck my dick which was met with a roar of appreciation and spit the song out a second time accompanied by more jerk off motions and swallowing in order to do the mike harm. Good times.

I think I since listened to the song twice. I always shut it off when I hear it. The original just doesn't live up to my life at that moment. Well, actually I never listen to the DKs.

Which one was that, Dan?  They've got so many records out now, I've lost track.  This might be a stretch but Land Lines brought to mind (faintly) some of Nurse With Wound's groovy, atmospheric stuff, like "Yagga Blues," though really the Weirdos' record is much better and more musical. 

I was "jamming" The World That Summer on the way to work the other day.  Maybe my favorite DIJ after Brown Book.  How do you like Symbols Shatter, Damn?

a.) the one on Bo'Weavil. Rolled In The Midst Of Never-Ceasing Currents Flowing Without A Rest Forever Onward.

b.) My thoughts on DIJ are really not too deep as I'm fresh to the fucker. My take has always been the typical "I get it" and "well, I don't 'need' it". Been checking the stuff out for the first time now. RE Symbols...: "He's Disabled" was the first DIJ song to grab me and is hands down one of the best mixtape candidates in the history of music. As a self-respecting Euro I'm of course really really into the beats of Nada! Album's crazy good to these ears.

Starving Weirdos, Land Lines LP.  Playing this constantly the past couple days.  The S'Weirdos's "exotica" record, and their first to my knowledge to contain prominent (mostly wordless) vocals.  As ever, the recordings are spectacular, rich in detail and crystal clear with awesome depth of field.  Not their most representative record, but easily their most readily recommendable.

Ooh, stoked. [I think(? postin' from work) the B1 of their 2011 LP contained some prominentish chant? Do chants count?]

Huge DIJ kick here.

Come on, don't try to tell me there's the slightest difference between the Le Sera PR bullshit and 99% of all blog reviews.

This is not an album for half-hearted partakers in the heartache scene:

LOLin hard here!

Never get why [tha FUCK (tard)] label/mailo-blurbs get posted here, but this is totally worth it.

[EDIT: Uuugh, seein' Sukebe's post just now - work sucks, doof ah er ahh blaahh]
