Music Shit / Re: Cheater Slicks parted ways with ITR

I thought Yer Last Record was their best since Forgive Thee.(?)

Nope, Refried Dreams was. I haven't really gotten in to Yer Last Record. It's good and all, but something in it hasn't really clicked with me.

Music Shit / Jazzactuel Box Set

« on: November 14, 2006, 07:32:28 AM »

I took a look at the desert island picks at Batarang and this looked interesting:

JAZZACTUEL : A COLLECTION OF AVANT GARDE/FREE JAZZ/PSYCHEDELIA FROM THE BYG/ACTUEL CATALOGUE OF 1969-1971 (Charly 2000 - 3CD)

Anyone have this? I'd like to hear some other comments about it? It looks like there's also a 6LP box of this thing and what's best it's not even that expensive ($40-$50).

Just read it from their myspace page. Apparently they're going to release the new record by themselves. Hopefully they'll get it out soon anyhow, this is my most anticipated record at the moment

Music Shit / Re: Death Rock

I haven't listened to it in a long time but I remember that Christian Death's Only Theater Of Pain is pretty decent. First 45 Grave single is OK too, but everything they did after is just complete horseshit (Party Time is just godawful).
Even though they are British I think Alien Sex Fiend would fit pretty well under the death rock moniker and they're fun in small doses.  Modern death rock is one of the most retarded genres ever (along with psychobilly).

Today's been a Gibson Bros day. Even though I think Memphis Sol Today! is their best, I can't see why no one has re-released the early records. 

Äpärä, kuka olet? Mahdetaankohan me tuntea? En tiennytkään, että TB-foorumille kirjoittaa muita suomalaisia.

Ornette - Shape of Jazz to Come, Free Jazz

Flesh Eaters - a Minute to Pray, a second to Die

- Only problem with this album is that it's so perfect that every other FE lp sounds bleak in comparison.

Seeds lp

- One of my all time favorite garage albums. Even if there's some fillers I think there's something really special about the atmosphere of this lp. By the way, how is Raw & Alive lp? I've been tempted to get it, but little afraid that the faux-girl-screams will annoy the shit out of me.

Sounds good, but I don't have that much stuff to trade. I'll try to make some kind of list, maybe there's something you want.

is volume II available on vinyl, too?

Unfortunately not. I doubt it'll ever come out on vinyl because it would need to be something like four lp's.

Hunger - Hamsun

That's one my all time favorite books, fantastic! I've been reading a lot of studying related stuff: Old Greek plays, Decamerone  etc. Should start reading Foucault's History of Sexuality, which I have exam for in two weeks.

Well it's a reissue but American Primitive vol II is easily the best purchase I've made this year. First one is my favorite pre-war blues/gospel comp and this new one is just as good.  I also loved Tete de Bebe and the two Cheveu 7"s (especially Clara Venus/Superhero). Bassholes 7" on SSLD. I don't own an actual physical copy of the Cheb Samir 7" on Yakisakana yet, but I've listened to the songs on that one from their website and I think they're fantastic, much better in my opinion than what TB review makes it sound like.  Can't think of anything else, maybe I'm forgetting something. There's some stuff i haven't heard yet like the new King Khan & BBQ and there's a lot of interesting stuff still to come out during this year from Volt, Cheater Slicks etc.

I guess something is inevitably lost or at least changed in the translation procress.  I've read some poetry books that had the translation on one side and the original text on the other, which I think is great because even if you can't understand a word of the language it was written in, you can still follow the rhythm and structure of the original text. Of course this can't be done with prose.  I'm also pretty sure there has to be some cases where a book got actually better with the translation, if it was done by some really good and talented writer.

They shared something, aesthetic isn't the right word, philosophy isn't necessarily either... maybe agenda?.

I agree but I don't think industrial is the right word to describe what connected these bands. Because I saw Neubauten having more in common with, say the Birthday Party or Can rather than Skinny Puppy is the reason why I didn't like the term industrial used to describe Neubauten, which was a little hasty conclusion. EN industrial - BP not.

As far as Raskolnikov is concerned, the guy never turned back on his theory. He never felt guilt for what he had done.

This could definitely be debated, but as I don't have the book here with me and want do something else than sit in the front of the computer whole day we have to do it some other time.

I know that all the bands mentioned were all about the duality, so, they'd probably all agree that while they're all wildly apart, they're all togeather too.

Of course genres overlap. Every artist living or dead can be connected to each other by something, but that isn't very useful. I can hear the same energy, emotion and spirit  in the music of Johnny Burnette and Pagans, but it's useful to call the former rockabilly and the latter punk rock. Still, because I do believe that it's more or less about the same thing in all music (and art in general) I have all my records mixed in regardless of the genre. I think it's nice to have Birthday Party next to Beefheart or Rev. Overstreet next to Oblivians. Genres are not meant to be taken as absolute, but as I said used to help discussion.

Birthday Party have direct connections to industrial, they really have no connections to rockabilly or blues other than sonically.

Well that's mainly because industrial was happening at the same time they were together, whereas the golden age of rockabilly and blues had taken place decades earlier.

Ok, should we put this ridicoulous genre debate on rest, although I admit guilty of starting it, this certainly isn't very useful.

I dunno, perhaps you should give me your reading of the ending.

It's been years since I've read Crime and Punishment and I don't have the book here with me, but didn't Raskalnikov's theory pretty much fell-apart when he put it in practise? He was tormented by the murder he had committed and felt release only after meeting the prostitute and confessing what he had done.  If I remember correctly he turned on to religion at the prison camp in Siberia, which I think is what had happened to Dostojevksi himself, on the very last pages of the book. At least in the case of Raskalnikov the theory didn't hold up.

It kind of brings to life Raskolnikov's theory that if you're smart enough, the rules really don't apply to you...

But they did apply to him in the end, didn't they?
