Rory Posted 7 January, 2010 Posted 7 January, 2010 You cannot get bored of Panda Bear -- Person Pitch.
St Landrew Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 Don't know if this will be interesting to all older people who frequent here, but BBC Radio 4 trasmitted a play called The Killing of the TSR2 today. I still haven't heard it, but plan to. So just in case someone wants to listen to it, here's a link to the play: The Killing of the TSR2
SuperMikey Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 I've just found a band I quite like called My Tiger My Timing. Shocking name, but i'm quite liking the tunes! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQwenjL7otI
exile on main street Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 Where can an interested punter get hold of this broadcast? i found it on soulseek, but i am a terrible person and would not encourage others to follow in my dastardly footsteps. PM me if you have difficulties locating this, and i'll see if other arrangements can be made. *taps side of nose*

the stain Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 You cannot get bored of Panda Bear -- Person Pitch. How right you are.

Technology holds many confusing terrors for me. *naps tide of hose*
the stain Posted 8 January, 2010 Posted 8 January, 2010 Back on thread... Bach's Goldberg Variations Zombie - Fela Kuti (something else a man could never get bored of)

Barney Trubble Posted 9 January, 2010 Posted 9 January, 2010 OMD with The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra
Block 5 Posted 9 January, 2010 Posted 9 January, 2010 Just downloaded the Bibio album. Digging. Ambivalence Avenue? What a cracking album. One of the best of 2009 without a doubt.
Block 5 Posted 9 January, 2010 Posted 9 January, 2010 Romanthony - "Fall From Grace" (Tony Humphries main mix).
saint_bert Posted 9 January, 2010 Posted 9 January, 2010 Soundgarden-Superunknown Cant believe their back together. Them, AIC and Stone temple pilots back in a short space of time. Grunge returns!!
Redbul Posted 10 January, 2010 Posted 10 January, 2010 The Durruti Column - Finding The Sea Bl00dy hell, that must be, what? Twenty years old? I've only got DC on vinyl, but Mrs. R bought me one of those vinyl to MP3 decks for my birthday; I'll have to do a spot of converting. I'm just having another go at Deer Tick; Born on Flag Day. A good dose of alt-country. John McAuley could voice double for Billy Corgan without too much effort.
Redbul Posted 10 January, 2010 Posted 10 January, 2010 David Bowie; Hunky Dory Just listened to this on vinyl. I got this in 1971 as a birthday present I think. Just converted it to MP3. You just can't whack the mellow qualities of vinyl. Sorry to sound like a Luddite (which I'm not) but there is something else there with vinyl. And I don't mean the crackling between tracks.... I hope this mellowness translates to MP3.
St Landrew Posted 10 January, 2010 Posted 10 January, 2010 (edited) David Bowie; Hunky Dory Just listened to this on vinyl. I got this in 1971 as a birthday present I think. Just converted it to MP3. You just can't whack the mellow qualities of vinyl. Sorry to sound like a Luddite (which I'm not) but there is something else there with vinyl. And I don't mean the crackling between tracks.... I hope this mellowness translates to MP3. I doubt it. Mellowness, as you describe, is one of those hard to define attributes that are part of analogue reproduction, and not digital. Note also that Hunky Dory would have been produced entirely using analogue recording equipment. Of course, there may have been the odd digital synthesizer, you never know. I well remember the Phillips adverts boasting the benefits of CDs. Perfect sound and impervious to scratches. Both claims completely false. It's a wonder nobody sued. I'm not a Luddite either, and I also appreciate when something is an actual improvement, and when it is just different. Edited 10 January, 2010 by St Landrew
exile on main street Posted 11 January, 2010 Posted 11 January, 2010 also, at home am re-discovering some old vinyl, after getting a new turntable. great fun, working my way through boxes of 7" singles...
Deppo Posted 11 January, 2010 Posted 11 January, 2010 Vampire Weekend - Contra Fool's Gold - Fool's Gold Talking Heads - Remain In Light
Pancake Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 The Wildhearts - "Lets fleece the fans by slapping some bonus tracks on the Japanese version of our latest album so they buy that, then put those bonus tracks on an EP that we say will only be available at 2 Xmas gigs in 2009 and then lets put that EP on the webstore afterwards and charge a tenner for it even though there are only actually 3 unreleased songs on it, that will learn them. Oh and then blame the record label, because we have never thought of doing that before; apart from EastWest, Mushroom, Warners, Infernal and even Round records - which we own!" AKA "Chutzpah Jnr"
Seany S Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Vampire Weekend - Contra Listening to that myself this morning. What a fabulously unusual band. I adore this. Also been listening to some Royal Trux and a bit of commerical-azz hip hop courtesy of Young Money.
Deppo Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 The Drums - Summertime They are playing the Talking Heads on 22nd Feb. Just thought I'd let you know.
Rory Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 The Drums - Summertime They are playing the Talking Heads on 22nd Feb. Just thought I'd let you know. Gutted I can't go but I'm seeing them a week before. Girls are playing at the Talking Heads a couple of days after. I'm gonna miss that too but I've more than made up for it by getting tickets to see Spoon at the Electric Ballroom.
Rory Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 Just started up Transference by Spoon for the first time. Excited is an understatement.
Julian H. Cope Posted 12 January, 2010 Author Posted 12 January, 2010 The Drums - Summertime They are playing the Talking Heads on 22nd Feb. Just thought I'd let you know. Thanks. Already got a ticket, should be a good 'un.
Deppo Posted 12 January, 2010 Posted 12 January, 2010 I'll be the one wearing a top hat, with a monocle and cane.
Julian H. Cope Posted 12 January, 2010 Author Posted 12 January, 2010 I'll be bare chested and weeping at the front of the stage.

Bentley Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 I've got tickets to that Drums gig as well, absolutely love the EP.
Rory Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 Just started up Transference by Spoon for the first time. Excited is an understatement. It's very good but needs a few listens to get into. More Gimme Fiction than Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. Don't think it's as good as Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga though, that album was stellar. Can't wait to see them live. White Rabbit are supporting their UK tour. Also, Contra is very, very good. Giving Up The Gun - what a tune!!
Bentley Posted 13 January, 2010 Posted 13 January, 2010 My favourite new song from Contra has to be California English.
