the new enya album is great :P also, whoever mentioned susumu yokota before, i love his music (well, his ambient stuff -- though i have a recording of a set of his called the breezeblock mix which is awesome). also just bought the new kanye west album, and m.i.a.'s album -- both sweet.

PaCrappa wrote:And then, my god, the music! "We can't work for heterosexuals, we must work for gays". I totally fogot about that shit! Oh man. This is like the best album ever. Rivals the Spits for actual genuine weirdness. Man, I'm so stoked to have this. I really owe you one for mentioning it. I might have forgotten about these guys if not.

Cool, Pa. I'm super glad you finally got it, and dig it too! The Fuckemos are somewhat of an acquired taste for most. I went down to my local noise purveyors at Sound on Sound, and didn't see any other Fuckemos or related stuff, unfortunately. I know they have at least one or two other records out, but for the life of me, can't think of the titles. Have you ever seen these guys live? Man, rock n roll ain't pretty sometimes...

As usual, my playlist is a bit odd this week:

Big Boys - The Fat Elvis (compilation) (EDIT: R.I.P., Biscuit. Damn, what a shame...)
Land of the Loops - Bundle of Joy
Black Sabbath - Paranoid and Master of Reality
V/A - Dope, Guns, and Fucking in the Streets vol.4-7 (Amphetamine Reptile compilation)
Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers - Mosaic
Bonobo - Dial "M" for Monkey
Mike Jackson and the Soul Providers - The Revenge of Mr. Mopoji "OST"
Muslimgauze - Hand of Fatima
A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders
Plone - For Beginner Piano
Swans - Filth
Naked City - Grand Guignol

got the discharge singles anthology (including the sublime 'why?' in its entirety) on double disk called 'decontrol' for christmas from my better half and i love it. well apart from the last couple of crappy poodle rock singles that loose the punk edge. everyone's going out today so it'll be on the stereo at full volume.

Recently got:

Sopor Aeternus :- La Chambre D'Echo

For those who don't know them, it's a German band. I'm not really sure which category to put them. The driving force, Varney (once a he, now a she), tends to get different musicians together for each release. The style is a mix of gothic, medieval, folk, and is beautiful sounding. Sometimes epic, sometimes sad, sometimes powerful, sometimes upbeat, with a very particular sense of wickedness to the lyrics in place. Managing a song about suicide, done in an upbeat mix of opera, brass, medieval and rock is disarming to say the least. Varney is one of the few people I'd label a musical genius.

This latest album has a touch of the electronic added, it's by far her best release in years, straight into my top 10 of all time. Recommended for the people who like this sort of music, the curious, or the open minded.

^Good tip on Skinner's Black Laboratories. Thanks for that, Rob. Oh, and that Seefeel record is tops. I used to spin quite a few tracks off of that in my KVRX days.

the fall's entire catalogue, especially my recent reissue purchases of fall in a hole and infortainment scan which rock like a bad man. i've also been banging the head along to necrotism by carcass and dancing to radiator by the super furry animals.

Rob · Post by **Rob** » Sun Feb 05, 2006 5:37 am

Afrirampo - s/t -- It's like the best of everything about Japanese pop & noise-rock in 22 minutes. Love it.
Metal Church - s/t -- Makes all of the cheesy cliches of 80s thrash sound cool. I mean damn. Next I'll be listening to Scorpions.
