The Majestic Channon Posted 23 April, 2009 Posted 23 April, 2009 Dust devil-The new madness single Gets better with every listen New album 'The Liberty Of Norton Folgate' out in the summer
St Landrew Posted 24 April, 2009 Posted 24 April, 2009 The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Electric Ladyland A very fine choice. I was only listening to that myself the other week.
St Landrew Posted 25 April, 2009 Posted 25 April, 2009 You're my role model, St Landrew. Ah, knew that Deppo lad had potential. You've noticed that aura... Or is it aroma..? I can never determine which. Don't follow this though. On an extremely rare mini 80's AOR moment courtesy of Spotify. With the dismal efforts from the boys in Red & White, trying to keep the leather thing away from the Claret and Blue men for around 90 minutes, I'd thought I'd call in the music from when Saints were riding rather higher. Frankly, I never liked 90% of this stuff, preferring to go skiing and latterly discovering sailing during that time. But I've had a go at More Than A feeling - Boston, which has that terrific chorus interspersed by crap verses. Tried Van Halen - Jump, and David Lee Roth - California Girls and they were abysmal. Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd was pretty good though, and now I'm thnking of Santana, or maybe I should really go off the wall with Bachman, Turner Overdrive. As I said, don't follow. It's certainly safer not to.
St Landrew Posted 25 April, 2009 Posted 25 April, 2009 (edited) OK, it went Santana, but to keep with the 1980's AOR theme, I went for a track off the album Inner Secrets, called Open Invitation. Bit dangerous that track. Don't select it as part of a mixCD and play it in the car, and DEFINITELY NOT while riding a motorcycle, because the throttle will be let loose, guaranteed. It's a bit like BTO's Roll On Down The Highway in the sense that it suggests... yeah, go kill yourself with speed..! Edited 25 April, 2009 by St Landrew
St Landrew Posted 25 April, 2009 Posted 25 April, 2009 OK, It's gone all The Dukes Of Stratosphear now. I'm just exploring the limits of Spotify at the moment. There's a few things I can't find, but the Dukes aren't one of them. Here's your chance to hear utterly superb sixties music, but written in the late eighties. Try them by typing in the band name. See how many bands you can name that have influenced each original track. By the way, Spotify doesn't put them in the correct order, so they don't flow quite as well as they should. 25 O'Clock should always be first up. I'm listening to You're My Drug at the moment, and the sixties sense is almost palpable.
Rattlehead Posted 26 April, 2009 Posted 26 April, 2009 Mastodon's new album, Crack The Skye, on Spotify. I'm not impressed to be honest and it isn't a patch on the previous two albums.
manji Posted 26 April, 2009 Posted 26 April, 2009 Curve; Doppelgänger. (Mmmm....Toni Halliday....) Excellent. P.S. Whats the fuss about Spotify ? I think its ********.
manji Posted 26 April, 2009 Posted 26 April, 2009 Assemble Head in Sunburst Sound-When Sweet Sleep Returned.
Redbul Posted 26 April, 2009 Posted 26 April, 2009 Flowered Up - A Life With Brian I used to love Weekender....well, still do actually, but haven't played it for years.
Ludwig Posted 26 April, 2009 Posted 26 April, 2009 Belle & Sebastian - Judy and the Dream of Horses Been listening to B&S all day.
jeff leopard Posted 27 April, 2009 Posted 27 April, 2009 Via the old spotify I spent yesterday listening to Jeffrey Lewis - 'Em Are I Although it doesn't reach the sporadic dizzy heights of his earlier stuff, its his most concistant album to date (talk about damning with faint praise). Its actually really really good in an anti-folk/low-fi indie rock style. Sonic Youth - Bad Moon Rising The spotify review said it was their weirdest album to date so I had to give it a go. Its nice and droney and builds to a fierce climax with death valley 69, and the spotify ads sounded more hilariously awful than usual Neu! - Neu! 75 Lovely stuff.

Julian H. Cope Posted 27 April, 2009 Author Posted 27 April, 2009 Depeche Mode - Sounds Of The Universe.
Deppo Posted 27 April, 2009 Posted 27 April, 2009 Zoot Woman - Living In A Magazine The La's - The La's
St Landrew Posted 28 April, 2009 Posted 28 April, 2009 A cracking little Sherlock Holmes adventure called The Ferrers Documents. Holmes/Watson fans will instantly realise that this is NOT a Conan-Doyle story, but one of the many clones, this time written by Bert Coules, for the BBC canon of SH stuff. IMO, he writes rather well, and his Watson is slightly less deferential to Holmes, than the proper one, although C-D's Watson was no slouch or thicko. It's 45 minutes of pure Victorian escapism. I absolutely love radio drama.
jeff leopard Posted 28 April, 2009 Posted 28 April, 2009 more sonic youth on spotify last night Rather Ripped Their latest album which is surprising chilled out (for them anyway). It builds really niocely as an album and delivers some real stonkers at the end. Daydream Nation It’s the repackaged edition, in particular, the live stuff on disk two is c-wording amazing.
Pancake Posted 28 April, 2009 Posted 28 April, 2009 death valley 69 was going to go in my mixtape once i had sorted out spotify And mine! Ive opted for a different SY track now! Playing BO's mix, getting better after a shakey start.
warsash saint Posted 28 April, 2009 Posted 28 April, 2009 Another shout for Sounds of the Universe by Depeche Mode. Loving the 5.1 mix wih swishing synths buzzing all around the place The box set is an amazing product.
jeff leopard Posted 28 April, 2009 Posted 28 April, 2009 And mine! Ive opted for a different SY track now! Same here, how embarrassing that could of been. I'll probably go for something off one of their more recent ones, or the live version of Candle. Kraftwerk - Ralf & Florian lovely stuff on a sunny day. best album title ever?
Pancake Posted 28 April, 2009 Posted 28 April, 2009 A **** load of Hawkwind. Space Ritual, Hall of The Mountain Grill, Warrior On The Edge Of Time...
Redbul Posted 28 April, 2009 Posted 28 April, 2009 Jane's Addiction; Ritual de lo Habitual. An oldy but a goody.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 28 April, 2009 Posted 28 April, 2009 Kiss Me Deadly by Generation X - quality song imo.
hamster Posted 28 April, 2009 Posted 28 April, 2009 The Bees - Octopus. Paul Allens little boat is named Octopus! You trying to tell us something?
Pancake Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Apart from BO's mix; Im currently playing lots of Sonic Youth and Butthole Surfers.
channonwindmill Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Bill Callahan - Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle. Wierd title, great album.
J Bizzle Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 The Legend that is Lionel Richie - Dancing on the ceiling.
manji Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 Loop-Heavens End Loop-A Gilded Eternity Loop-Fade Out
Rattlehead Posted 29 April, 2009 Posted 29 April, 2009 I will check out Orn's mix at some point but too busy at the moment. On that note, I think it would be sensible to have a thread for each mix (as before). Kind of makes it more obvious a new one is up and then comments and discussion on that don't get mixed up with general comments. IMO of course. manji, please can you remind us about your sort of music? I seem to recall you like stuff nobody else likes, or has even heard of.
