Currently immersing the 'ol brain box with this recently acquired lot:
Postcards - Manics (I love this album!!. Miles better than I thought it would be. Strings, big chorus, guitar solo's - their most upbeat sounding album since Everything Must Go.
Collapse into Now - R.E.M - The Vaccines album currently begs the question - "What do you expect from the Vaccines??". I think the same question could be currently asked of some reviewers of R.E.M's latest album!!! It sounds pretty good to me anyway - what more do they want??? If past glories are cast aside and the album is reviwed on its on mertits its a very strong effort IMO.
Band on the Run - Wings - Under pressure, MacCartney delivers his first set of songs to finally get remotely near his Beatles output. Recorded in close proximity to a leper colony in Nigeria amid a health scare and being held at gun point. Never matched this albums consistency again.
On the Beach - Neil Young. Part of the infamous "Ditch" trilogy. Only arrived yesterday. Looking forward to hearing this one.
Tonights the night - Neil Young Same as above.
I Feel Fine - Best of the IRS Years - R.E.M - Unrelenting 1980's brilliance from R.E.M compiled.
If you beg to differ or heartily agree, please do!!!!!
I was named after a song on I Feel fine- Best of the IRS years- R.E.M.
Bruce Springsteen Eulogy for Clarence Clemons - well worth a read, its great.

The new Horrors 'Skying' album is wonderful, nice change of direction. Also loving Wild Beasts 'Smother' right now.
Just back from the Kilkenny Arts festival, absolutely fantastic event and puts most events in the country to shame. If anyone hears anything about a young band called Sive do look them up. From Kildare. Superb superb act.
Trevor Horn produced Tatu's "All the things she said".
Never ever realised.

'Directed by Jesus' apparently. Big payout for anyone who put a few quid on the second coming involving Dublin, rap and the archenemy of superman.
Do you ever discover something and wonder how the hell it passed you by.
Have just discovered Health's remix of Pictureplane's Goth Star from his album Dark Rift and I am in awe of it's beauty. An incredible piece of music that has me tingling all over. Beautiful.
But what has me thinking about is Pictureplane is a non-entity in my life despite being a massive Health and Crystal Castles' fan.
Whilst delving deeper into Pictureplane I discovered his album "Thee Physical" from earlier this year... what's bugging me is that I had these 2 words in my phone for years since about 2007, after I was listening to a song in a mates house and was looking over at his iTunes and trying to figure it out whilst ****ed and I put that into my phone.
I had been listening to it turns out was Control Freaq by Felix da Housecat from the album Kittenz and Thee Glitz.
Bizarre to say the least.
Just something I noticed a while back; the melody in Goodbye by Ulrich Schnauss that kicks in at 4:50 bears a striking resemblance to that at the beginning of the Pogues' Hell's Ditch. I don't know of the Pogues having been an influence though.

Is he from Dublin? Not giving anything away with an accent that's maybe more MF Doom-influenced than anything else. As far as Irish hip-hop is concerned, I've always enjoyed Messiah J and the Expert. Can't actually find my favourite track, I'd Give My Right Arm, online anywhere but this one's pretty good:Quote:

There was a group, the Sirocco MCs, from Derry that did some nice stuff back in the day although they're not making anything any longer; "not into that sh*t anymore", according to Emceeodee at a Vitalic gig in the Nerve Centre. Era2 did some good stuff as well, but dunno if he's around any longer either. Just left with brash bombastry on the Derry scene from the likes of Wile Man now.
Metallica and Lou Reed album out end of October entitled 'Lulu'. Strange strange project with an even stranger album sleeve.

That's excellent. Hadn't heard it before. But within a milisecond of hearing it, I recognised the sample. So Stevie Nicks deserves a lot of the credit!

It's not the most hidden of samples that! Actually went non a Fleetwood Mac rampage afterwards.
Stevie Nick's voice needs to be bottled for all eternity.
Stevie's solo work away from Fleetwood Mac is underrated imo.
You're not wrong there my friend. Not wrong at all. She has some incredibly sample-able (sic) songs that I never listened to before in that vein.
Don't mind if I do...
EDIT: The discovery of that Health song has developed an unhealthy obsession with Ms Nicks. Is the age gap too much?
The good news, BonnieShels, is that she's still single :cool::cool: Actually, RTE had an interview with Nicks a couple of months back that I happened to catch :

cheers for the heads up. I'll bear it in mind and add her to me list of Free passes which includes: Zooey, Winslet and Perry.
I'm off to town now to hit Tower Records upside the head. Boom!
She's too young for you.Quote:

Magic. Haven't heard that one in a while. High time I reacquainted myself with 'Automatic...'Quote:

Only just listening to it again this week and it really is something. A much maligned album in my Top 10. I know it's in my Top 10 but whne I'm asked I never say it and without doubt has had probably more of an effect on my musical life than say Loveless and The Colour and the Shape and I would never hesitate to mentioning them.
"Monty..." still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up on end. Everytime I've listened to it the moment that the chord change kicks in on the mandolin and the drums kick in makes me happy that music exists and I discovered it.
I know you might say "Duh" to statements like that but I know so many people who actually don't give a crap about music. Srsly.
Another thing you should reacquaint yourself with is Up. REM's masterpiece. People talk about Green or Out Of Time; but the beauty of Up is something to behold.
Agree with you about ' UP ' Great album. Would be better if the first song ' Airportman' wasnt on it. Also the fourth song ' Hope' is crap. The other songs are all brilliant especially 'Falls to climb' and 'Diminished ' .
I would in essence agree with you about removing those songs but one of the greatest things about albums us that it makes you appreciate the greatness of the likes of Lotus etc. It's part of the memory and the joy of the discovery of those songs that mean something you and that makes so called inferior songs integral to that journey and experience.
In December 1977, H Wiley Hitchcock said during The Phonograph and Our Musical Life conference that "The record industry has been making records so perfect...that you lose any sight of the fallibility of humans...Such recordings are a fiction: they're too perfect, so when you hear a concert you are almost let down by what you hear."
He was talking about sound and not content but it could equally apply to that.
Anyone in the area or on the net I'm gonna be on Blast106 fm in Belfast on Monday night from 7-9 talking about my band TeddyBallet and upcoming songs and playing a few tunes in the studio and what have you. Listen in on the net at http://www.blast106.com/ if you wish and give some feedback!
Has anyone else had the misfortune of listening to "clowncore" at a gig? Have a listen:confused:
