A long time favourite. I also really love the records Jürgen Gleue put out as The Phantom Payn, particularly 'Trouble with Ghosts'.

Album of the year. Cancel all upcoming releases (which, incidentally, will save me a lotta money).

Eurythmics Take Me To Your Heart Live From Heaven 1983

FACS - Take Me to Your Heart


for all the kids that have never heard of the Eurythmics. Like the ones behind me at FACS' merch desk yesterday evening after their gig. They were reading out loud from Wikipedia :D
(there seems to be no better sounding live version from FACS yet on YT, sorry about that)

I'm banging whatever Eliane Radigue releases I can get my hands on, today: Jetsun Mila

Had "Mary's Song" stuck in my head randomly. Took it as a hint.

I like the compositions on this, generally, but I'm not a big fan of the production.

Felt like listening to one of those albums that spawned many a sample. Very solid Space Age Pop.

The Last Match is one of my favourite albums of all time but their other two records never really did much for me. It's been a long time though so maybe I should try again.

Recent listening:

Guided By Voices and Fading Captain Series, going through the records of theirs I don't listen to as often. E.g. Hold on Hope EP, Under The Bushes..., Airport 5, Moping Swans, Hazard Hotrods, Lexo & The Leapers, Get Out of My Stations, Static Airplane Jive, Tiger Bomb, Selective Service, Tonics and Twisted Chasers.

Also:

Soundbombing vol.1
Darren Tate - No Longer Here
Love Peace & Poetry - South America
Inca Ore & Lemon Bear

Ichiko Aoba - Luminescent Creatures

I feel like this may be the sort of album I'll only fully embrace upon repeat listening. There's a lot I really like about it, but it has yet to fully click. "Luciférene" and the closer "Wakusei no Namida" instantly hooked me though. Lovely stuff. Will listen to it again.

Loads of Nelly, particularly 'Nellyville', plus The Stooges' 'Raw Power'.

Not sure why but this is both unexpected and awesome.

Why thank you. One of my favourite Nelly songs.

Binsey Poplars - Trip So Far

Underrated and overlooked af

Lamp - Lamp Phantasma

First time listening to this in a long time. Still their best record. They seem like a long forgotten band now.

HOLY SHIT TIME FLIES PORKY!

i should give them a fresh listen too. i used to have a couple of their cds which must be in some box somewhere

thanks for the reminder! putting on the headphones...

frango means chicken hahhaahaha
ana electric chicken
a great name
well...

(the title means "call me cat because im yours")

but ana frango elétrico

frango elétrico

i need to hear this too

Yeah. Her sophomore album is even called "Little Electric Chicken Heart" (in English, this time). I think you'll enjoy it - both of them, actually. It has those sweet classic MPB and Bossa Nova nods in there, but updated for a new generation. Her last album (the cat one) also has strong Dance, Funk and Disco influences as well. It's an incredibly well-produced blend. I highly recommend it :)

Perfume Genius - Glory

Two songs in and I enjoy it a lot so far.

This album is fucking great.

Black Country, New Road - Forever Howlong

Lovely. Far removed from their noisier first outing and not quite as immediately accessible as "Ants From Up There", but it is its own beast, altogether. Far more leaning into the folky and Baroque Pop influences, it continues on the path they first treaded with their live material that culminated in the sublime "Live At Bush Hall". The arrangement is as lush as ever and Taylor Hyde, Georia Ellery and May Kershaw are phenomenal vocalists. Excited to continue observing the evolution of their sound.

i did a lot of dreaming this morning but didn't get enough. then one thing led into another and suddenly here i am:





oh yeah, laugh all you want, fuck you, i'm giving it a go

eta: i liked it a lot! hetfield singing as little as possible makes for the best metallica experience

a great backup band for lou

i'll be listening again

One Million and Three Love Songs ♡ by Bnny




some nice music for the sunday morning

This is the shit. THIS IS THE REAL SHIT. BUY IT.

Been really into Deftones lately, I've been digging their self titled album lately

It is quite impressive how boring this band are. They have spedrun to the whimsical-bullshit stage of their career in a fraction of the time it took PH Harvey to achieve the same feat. Commendable.

Jim Shepard - The Evil Twin

There may be some thread on this forum about him.

To me they sound a bit like Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, The Beta Band and Super Furry Animals with Trisha Keenan from Broadcast or Sister Irene O'Connor on vocals. They have some nice moments, but they need to fuck off with the medieval harpsichord solos.

Seconded. Great record, really enjoying this.

to my ears, this is the most clumsy development trajectory that I've ever seen a band take. from the promising beginnings ("Sunglasses" and majority of their debut album) through personal changes to this baroque pop pretentious drivel. I tried listening to it, but it had similar effect on me as the infamous Hungarian Suicide Song, so I rather went outside and looked at the trees, which I found way more entertaining. (mind, I'm allergic)

It's not everyone's cup of tea, but they are very much doing their own thing. And they don't owe their former fans or early supporters anything. The shift was polarizing. I welcome it. Isaac had his own, very distinct voice. Continuing or attempting to continue on that route without him would have come off as disingenuous. Instead, they took a different approach. In my opinion, that's both bold and respectful of what Isaac brought to the table. And I think they stuck the landing. The musical craftmanship is still there in spades, there's still pretty damn good songwriting - the style is just different. And it's okay to not like it - the voice (not just the physical voice, also the proverbial voice) is a different one - or rather are different ones - now. And that will put some people off. But I've come to really appreciate them.


Also: Desloratadine, my friend. It works! ;)
