Ponty, did you see them at Download? Superb album and I tried to get tickets for their Brixton gig, but no luck. Interested to hear how they were from anyone who went.

 

Back on topic, I've been to a couple of gigs this week: Suicidal Tendencies and Anthrax, both excellent and the latter being one of the best gigs I have ever been to. So I've been listening to Anthrax almost none stop. Superb. They have a new album out in October, played a few new ones and they were pretty good.

I didn't, RH, but they did stream their entire gig live on the Download website so I stayed in Friday and watched it. Epic performance ('scuse the pun) but they all look so old nowadays, except Mike who doesn't seem to have changed a bit. They certainly didn't play like they'd been away for a decade.

I believe they're playing somewhere else in the UK over summer, but can't remember where and can't find the email, dammit, and it isn't on their website yet. I think it is Reading, which I can't go to. I would deffo like to see them again though, even if the legend that is Jim Martin isn't playing.

 

Cheers re stream info - I was away for the weekend but will seek out some decent downloads.

Started off the day with Orb; Toxygene [Kris Needs Up For A Fortnight Mix] which sent me off on an Orb spiral including album gems like The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld, U.F.Orb.

 

Little Fluffy Clouds always makes me feel summery....

Man I love the Neville Brothers, awesome indeed. I am stoked for the forthcoming David Simon tv series about musicians in post-Katrina New Orleans ("Treme") it should be essential viewing.

 

Today I am going all DC/angular and listening to some Jonathan Fire Eater (their first ep), Jesus Lizard "Down" and Fugazi's "In On The Kill Taker".

I was shuffling at work today and Working in A Goldmine popped onto my iPod.

 

That was it, I was back in the 80s with Aztec Camera, Prefab Sprout and Scritti Politti and do you know what? I don't care. Floods of memories from 20+ years ago.

Don't be ashamed of your eighties heritage. Cupid And Psyche and Love are great albums.

I go back further than that (but not too much further!!!!)....I was telling a mate at work today about the Clash gig (16 Tonnes tour) at the Top Rank. That must have been 1979?

mclusky - mclusky Do Dallas.

 

Awesome band, awesome record. they are sadly missed. Saw them live a couple of times, very entertaining indeed.

 

I am listening to the "Gummo" OST, nineteen tracks of underground metal and grindcore, absolutely superb. Some of the bands, like Eyehategod, Brujeria and Sleep I have heard of, but there are some real gems from groups I have never heard before.

 

Depending on the battery on the old MP3 player, next I am going to chill with a bit of My Morning Jacket.

I was listening to Sky Valley the other day whilst trying to put together a massive flat pack wardrobe. My frustration and anger were tempered by the filthy stoner rawk riffery.

 

Today I am listening to a few comedy CDs I dug out, peter Cook and Chris Morris "Why Bother?" and a hilarious prank phonecall album by some Scottish comedians called The Hang Ups - sort of like the Jerky Boys but from Paisley. Very amusing.
