Miyako koda - “jupiter” and “in the shadow of jupiter”
Really strange electronic avant pop album from the late 90’s by a japanese actor i’ve never heard of. Really nice stuff. “In the shadow” is a remix version of the album.
Tito puente - “puente in percussion”
My favorite by him. No vocals, no nothing. Only drums. Amazing album.
Tangerine dream - “rubycon”
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwww.

ha, "Fluid" I remember their stuff languishing in the cutout bin in the late 80's as everyone made a beeline for the Mudhoney and Nirvana stuff.
Now you listen to it and think they sound fine! There's not an ocean of difference in sound between them and, say, The Offspring? Green Day? Makes you wonder how fine the line is between selling millions and a life of luxury and... whatever the members of The Fluid are doing now...

I would launch into some huge praise about the Fluid but I have to go to the tailor...Unfortunately they signed to Hollywood Records and put out one more good record, but that label famously killed the career of a few bands. One band was Wool with Pete and Franz Stahl, and an old friend of mine, Chris Bratton, drumming for them. Pete went on to do Goatsnake. Chris later got into a band with Jennifer Finch from L7 (recently reformed) called Other Star People. A&M put their record out but Chris was fired during the recording for not wanting to play to a click track. He had serious Keith Moon moves but could back it up with great drumming - sigh- fuck yr click track. I was at a live Karaoke punk thing at an Italian restaurant, Finch or another L7 might have been playing in the backing band actually, and Chris sang the Germ's Manimal. He just went nuts from the first growl, jumping onto tables and breaking dishes, lights, people scattering, total rnr mayhem with red sauce. I think we just quickly got the eff out of there because I don't remember any repercussions... Hollywood Records may as well supply CDs directly to Book Off www.discogs.com/label/2859-Hollywood-Records?sort=year&sort_order=asc&page=8Goo Goo Dolls resissues, Seaweed...Sacred Reich...Sprung Monkey??? |

I would hope I would do exactly the same thing if there were such a thing as GEROGERIGEGEGE karaoke. These song "intros" still make me laugh my arse off I rented this cd in Tokyo around 1993. There used to be this little cd rental store in Ochanomizu that was literally Field of Dreams material. They had everryyyything..... www.discogs.com/The-Gerogerigegege-%E3%83%91%E3%83%B3%E3%82%AF%E3%81%AE%E9%AC%BC-Tokyo-Anal-Dynamite/master/584338:format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-750542-1265898337.jpeg.jpg) |

Speaking of shit Youtube sound (why don't I just dig out the flac files I have stashed somewhere?) ~ Randomly clicked on a jazz album and was surprised to find real warm sound off actual vinyl and an interesting selection ~
Nice worn sleeve on this one ~
Some OG grind whatever MINUS vocals
Right to next one of the greatest jazz albums of all time...
Only three months old so not much yet, and it looks like some songs get dinked on copyrongs...

Was listening to the latest Comedy Bang Bang Podcast with JB Smoove and "OJ Simpson" (Carl Tart) ~ And it was nearly all I hoped for although Tart's voice seemed a little less on-point but minor quibble. Smoove plays it perfectly and you can tell he is enjoying it. Love Tart but thought he might have put the OJ character to bed...Talk about studies in pathological narcissism ~ Twitter bans drumpf but not the juice!?
Got in a Jack Johnson mood ~ Prolly my fave electric Miles because it features my two fave electro jass guitarists ~
Sonny Sharrock: Criminally under-recorded and Coltrane on the strings. This was his last album featuring guitar overdubs but is a truly moving piece of music, haunting really, and is a great document of his powers.
Elvin Jones and P. Sander up in that joint also
John McLaughlin: The Mahavishnu Orchestra also should've recorded a little more but there is plenty to dig into and I consider the absolute pinnacle of so-called "Fusion Jazz" but if that makes you think of champagne brunches and hot tubs, well this is when you throw the toaster oven into the water...
And some of that shredding is electric violin...
If you need a chaser of stupid brilliant punk rock after all that...
or not...

Got in a Jack Johnson mood ~ Prolly my fave electric Miles because it features my two fave electro jass guitarists ~ Got piles of jezz lp's here - including this one - and it still ticks me off I don't really "get" any of them. I once almost "got" one of the Art Blakey drummy ones but then it was gone. Some bits of Bitches Brew. Maybe some of Sketches of Spain before that one sends me into a suicidal funk. I fail at jezz. Tempted to list all my jezz lp's here so you can all form an orderly queue and tell me what a philistine I am for not "getting" these legendary albums.
Today on deck: THE FALL infotainment scan tape. the usual mid-career underestimated brilliance THE FALL the real new fall. Utterly godhead, 2003 and still as great as ever THE CLEAN live 1999 tape. totally awesome, the long rhythm munt tracks |

Ya gonna hate me but...The Wedding Present played here two years ago at a little bar on their 30th Anniv. tour but they are a band whose name I have known forever but never grabbed me. I guess even a few YT vids didn't convince, so I got stoned and watched Top Chef at home probably...
various youtubing on this back-to-lockdown Friday
Tav Falco and Panther Burns - Sugar Ditch Revisted
Wire - 154
Junior Kimbrough - Sad Days/Lonely Nights

y'all got me listening to a lot of Wire and Sparks recently. Both bands who I have always kinda had on the backburner as it were...Dig what I put on but don't really know their discog/evolution. Wire seems too important to ignore but I managed to...
That Sparks documentary looks interesting, so before watching it, I thought I would YT or d/l their early stuff and listen in order, at least the first 15~20 years, I guess...I am sure Sparks didn't really click for me until after getting Roxy Music, although I am realizing now just how far back they go. Had never heard this before a few days ago. Feelin' it!
Did hear this song a lot on KROQ back in the day...

BOB DYLAN shot of love LP. 200 yen in Book Off, LOL. 1981, his religious phase, fine, sounds better than I was expecting. actually goddamn love this thing now. I like it better than Blonde on Blonde! Suck on that one, Dylan scholars. The recording is stellar. Who cares if he's singing about Jeebus. Cool Guy Nick Cave does it all the time and no one gives him shit. ACDC high voltage LP. boomfaaa! NILSSON greatest hits LP avoided for the longest time but kind of unfuckwithable DISROTTED divination LP total monotonous sloww doom sludge, godhead HEY COLOSSUS guillotine LP sludge is gone but this is a slow grower |

It's hard to pick a favorite Sparks album because their whole thing is kind of being all over the place. They somehow make doing whatever was popular when it was popular cool. Disco record with Moroder? Top notch. Right into new wave w/ Jane Wieldan? Also great.
Even by the 3rd or 4th one w/ Todd Rundgren (I spell good), "Indiscreet" there are tracks with strings and no drums, etc, all over the place -- and still great.
I signed up for the Sundance screening of that movie, which they made a total pain in the ass, and it was.... ok. I would have liked a little more story, old footage, more traditional documentary. This goes through EVERY ALBUM one at a time, which makes it a bit plodding as after the early 80s, there's a long lull.
I do remember when Hello Young Lovers came out and I heard "Dick Around" and thought wow, given my standards for current music from anyone much less a band that's been around that long, this is incredible, and funny, and very good. "Metaphor" also got many spins.
Bringing it back to Comedy Bang Bang, they were on the most recent episode (host Scott Auckerman makes an appearance in the documentary) but basically they're pretty quiet, which is kind of a bummer. I feel like they are usually the biggest smartasses in the room but in this case actually probably not and they seem to just chime in on occasion to remind you they're there. Still, they're super old and great and are not responsible for being great podcast guests so fair play overall.

Really odd to think how old they are. The singer looks utterly ageless. Also weird to think they were such a big thing in the UK early on. There are truckloads of cheap UK pressings of their early singles floating around discogs |

FLOOR oblation tape. top notch grunty knuckle-drag
MASTERS OF REALITY welcome to western lodge. have a lot of time for this band.
GODFLESH songs of love and hate. tape. sometimes this hip hoppy beats thing doesnt click at all but sometimes the caveman grunt hits the spot
LES THUGS as happy as possible. tape. rooting it, hectic, sounding very Bad Religion here. "No Contol" one of my old teenage faves, whata blast, wall of noise. too bad all these youtube clips sound like shrill skree.
No wonder young people are so confused, their music sounds alien to their human ears. 5% morans, thats all the sound information you're getting from these fucking insulting things. Fuck your phones.

Ah, I see...I didn't realize until that CBB dropped that Edgar Wright was the director, not a fan, and it just goes through al the albums...it can wait I guess...(OT: skipped that episode and the recent one too, not that I am some Oswalt Killed his Wife incel but I dunno...After that JB Smoove with OJ Simpson episode, high bar set...) Digging the albums tho... |

That MOR album has somehow been on my wantlist forever and always escaped my grasp. Even a crapola cd copy. Fuck the US postal service reducing discogs to a "$3 cassette plus $24 shipping" scenario. The cunt would cost me $4 to send airmail from Japan. $4 versus $24. WFT happened America. |

DINOSAUR JR where you been. the perfect burnout album. PERFECT.
THE FALL levitate. very dancey, shouldnt be my bag at all, but of course MES makes it work
EARTH angels and darkness II. brilliantly dull and monotonous. absolutely nothing happens, thank Xcrist.
KRAFTWERK. ralf and florian. I think of this one as a great orchestra tuning up. "Oh, that works, we'll delve into that tuning later on, ooh, that too, yes, that bit has promise, need to run with that too in the upcoming albums...

BEASTWARS IV tape. fantastic muntmurder sound to it but they dont really have the memorable song structures. whatevs it sounds aces
TRANS AM california hotel LP lot of time for this band but this new one from 2017 kind of sucks balls. Boring dance music.
CHROME lost tracks 79/80. r u shitting me? THESE are the tracks that didnt make it onto the Half Machine LP? 99.9% of bands never put out an LP as good as this and these are the goddamn throwaway offcuts from 2 years, 1979 and 1980. Liner notes say these tracks were "too accessible" to make it onto the LP. FFS. Most bands do it the other way around. The stuff that's too weird gets left out. CHROME were so fucking cool. Fuck the mainstream, lets just put the weird shit out. These tracks dont have the caustic bug-eyed smacking thrill of the Half Machine lp tracks, they're more rhythmic like "Red Exposure" era. For me, this era of the band is the perfect storm of challenging weirdness and accessible rhythms.
