Spotlights - Seismic Almost had a heart attack in my donger when I opened up this wee early Xmas prezzie: It looks for all the world as if wet tissue paper is stuck to the vinyl. Upon closer inspection it's just the colour pattern of the vinyl but holy shit this must be a new thing, I've never seen anything like this. Very goddamn disconcerting That's genuinely weird. Looks like a wedding cake.

omfg what the hell is that?? It sounds like 3 different genres getting mansplained into getting their motherfuckking act together. Diana Ross meets Chrome meets the A Frames in the 1970's. AMAZING.

Souvlaki is overrated, there I said it. It has some nice guitar tones and vocals but the songwriting is kind of mediocre.

so weird seeing "tiny" acts like Oasis and Radiohead supporting "big bands" like James and St Etienne.
And bands like "The The" get huge billing.
History has since passed judgment, sorry cuntz.
my lineup:
Nov 17 Straightjacket Fits /JPSE Nov 22 Quicksand Nov 23 Hawkwind Nov 24 Straightjacket Fits /JPSE Dec 1 Yo La Tengo
Dec 2 Eugenius Dec 2 Girls vs Boys Dec 2 Thee Headcoats/Armitage Shanks schedule clash! Sorry Eugenius and GVSB Dec 3 THE DAMNED Dec 4 THE DAMNED Dec 9 Jesus Lizard/Girls vs Boys the big one. not missing this for the world Dec 10 Slowdive Dec 17 The Pogues Dec 21 The Kinks (Wembley Arena though ffs maybe not) Dec 22 Cop Shoot Cop Dec 30 Swervedriver

More or less the same for me I guess but skip the Damned at least one night for the Senseless Things, and I would love to have seen These Immortal Souls and probably Sun Dial - can't make out those dates. In '92 I didn't have a clue but present-day me would love to have seen Robyn Hitchcock...Supersnazz all the way from Japan! And maybe the Sweet... The Saw Doctors? Molly Half Head? The Scottish Sex Pistols?? (aka bands I am afraid to find out what they sound like)

I'm listening to Ride's Nowhere right now and off the bat I like it a lot more than Souvlaki. The songwriting is so much better although I guess when it comes to guitar tones and shoegazy stuff Slowdive's stuff is better and more influential.

I fear I may never see The Damned. It's been close several times over the years but there's always some odd schedule conflict or other issue. I missed the one here with Lemmy on bass, that woulda been badass obviously.

r.i.p. brother wayne kramer...one of the greats oh - hadn't heard this anywhere else yet! Bummer. Saw the MC3-DTK at Summer Sonic in 2003 or 4. (Saw the Damned there also actually...) Unfortunately half of the MC3 set featured Even Dando ffs...I was just thinking the other day, as I started to hear about and get into the Stooges and the New York Dolls etc, in 1986, the MC5 came on my radar, but the first MC5 album I ran across was the MC4 one - not the British group but some bootleg recorded late in their career without Rob Tyner. Pretty bland and it made me wonder what the "hype" was about them but a few weeks later, I was in my favorite record store and one of the hip clerks recommended I get the ROIR cassette and things definitely clicked. Never thought the Five or those other bands would come to be so revered as they have over the last 20 years or so... Only drummer Dennis Thompson remains... Don't blame Fred "Sonic" Smith for inventing ScandiRawk but he did...

Don't blame Fred "Sonic" Smith for inventing ScandiRawk but he did... yeah i got that ROIR tape when it came out too. the tape clicked in a way their lp's never quite did. i had a girlfriend who had a copy of 'kick out the jams' lp we listened to a fair bit a couple of years before that, but i never felt like i needed to get one myself. the tape is still the only thing i own by them (i do have a 7" 'city slang' by the sonic rendezvous band tho). wayne kramers reputation around the early '80s in the zines i used read was that he had been pretty much an irredeemable junkie scumbag since coming out of prison around '75. he eventually got straight in the early naughties and his redemption story is, uh, inspirational.

Rip wayne kramer. 20 years ago this would have been bigger news. Sad that the first obituary articles i read in the guardian had lots of inaccurate info (rob tyner on bass??). Feel like the mc5 were always a bit too much overshadowed by their more exciting little brother band. And at times they were too rock to really be considered punk in the modern sense of the word. Still they never made a bad album, even the much hated back in the usa is great and a perfect example of punk sound before punk.

yeah I've had the anthology going around and around for 2 days now. Some of it drives me mad but when they get the rhythm tracks going....... nothing better.
