It's a stupid name for a band is what it is. Not as bad as "Portugal. The Man", though — I mean, the latter is the ALL-TIME FUCKING NADIR of band names or pseudonyms or whatever the fuck that crap is. |
Quote:
No way man. Portugal, the Man is not the worst. I’m SURE I know of a worse one... just can’t think of it right now. 30 Seconds to Mars is worse, actually. But I don’t that’s not even the one I was thinking of. Hmm. |
Got RATHER RIPPED for fifty cents at library books sale.
Yeah, I already have it. But what was I gonna do? Not buy it? |
I've bought many SY albums twice, but for bonus tracks.

That's actually a period there, not a comma. "Portugal. The Man". Which makes it WORSE. And WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT EVEN MEAN. FUCK HIM/THEM. |
Quote:
Hahaha! It’s a PERIOD?! What?! Ok, it’s pretty goddamn bad, but there still another that I’m thinking of that might be worse. Can’t remmeber what, but it’s bad. Men Without Hats isn’t great The World is A Beautiful Place and I Am no Longer Afraid to Die is also really fucking bad. But there’s one that’s just not coming to me. |

I’ve bought almost every SY album at least twice. You did the right thing. |

Graham Bond - Holy Magick
Really happy to have finally obtained a vinyl copy of this 1970 ecstatic occult prog/jazz masterpiece. Enochian calls and all. |
Land of Talk - Life after Youth
Very mellow compared to earlier works. I recommend the album "Applause Cheer Boo Hiss" to anyone who hasn't heard them. It's the debut and their most energetic and intense release. Liz Powell's one hell of a guitarist. 3 piece band. Very unique guitar tone and lots of open tuning and soloing akin to melding Ranaldo with Cobain. |
Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Duke Ellington Songbook
Not sure if this is the correct cover art. Ordered it a few days ago, and found this on Google images just to share. The version I ordered has three discs though. :eek: Originally I was just getting a copy for my father for Christmas, and I decided to snag one for myself. The price was right and the music’a good. I also am a fan of the Ella Sings Gershwin boxed set. ![]() |
![]() Homostupids - Strawberry Orange Peach Banana |

![]() hey another biggie knocked off my want list! Medium Rare was released for Record Store Day 2011, originally as a vinyl only release. It's a covers album, which I'm a big fan of. And It was then re-released in a limited capacity on CD in Europe in cooperation w/ Q Magazine. Copies aren't exactly "rare," as there's always a handful on ebay and Discogs. The problem is that copies generally aren't cheap, so I'd been waiting to at least find what I considered a deal. Happy to finally have this album. |
Nada- L'amore e fortissimo, il corpo no

Last EP: The Paranoid Style--Underworld USA CD
Last full length album: Tyvek--Origin Of What CD I bought the latter from main Tyvek guy Kevin Boyer. Protomartyr (of which Boyer was a member at one time) gets all the hype, but when it comes to punk from Detroit, I prefer Tyvek. |
Quote:
Wait — apparently there is a Mariana Timony that's not Mary Timony? Not that her real name is necessarily Mariana Timony. I mean, I'm "Manimal" on Bandcamp... https://bandcamp.com/marianatimony |
That's interesting

Haven't bought so many albums recently, so I decided to make up for it, and purchased the following.
Olafur Arnalds & Nils Frahm - Collaborative WorksI actually bought a few more, but can't remember what they were .... |
Quote:
subsonic 6: lou barlow / rudy trouvéanyone familiar with Winter Family? Me neither, but the samples I tried sounded cool, some even reminded me of Low's Organ Reframed performance. Eric Thielemans is a Belgian drummer, known by me for his work with e.g. Rudy Trouve (in Tape Cuts Tape) and Chantal Acda. Rudy Trouve was guitarist on the first dEUS album. |
I believe it was Doves' The Last Broadcast. Good album! Doves always seemed to "fly" under the radar. Quotes added to emphasize the pun.
|
I bought Master of Puppets by Metallica. Not my favourite, but still has some very solid tunes.
|
Low - Double Negatiive - LP
Glenn Branca - The Ascension - LP This Heat - Deceit - LP Mount Eerie - (after) - LP Taiwan Housing Project - Veblen Death Mask - Cassette |
I just placed an order for things from id m theft able.
My favorite album title over for the past 20 years: If I’m Too Fat For You, Why Don’t You Come Over Here And Suck Out All The Fat |

The last album I bought was Blur's Parklife, which I got at the local (second-hand?) record store. $10 on CD, definitely worth it. The self-titled album is better, but I already owned it.
Looked for any SY stuff, but all they had was Goo, the one I do own. :( |
![]() The excellent solo album by Bert Dockx, called Transit. It's a collection of covers with following tracklist:
And also: ![]() the first album by Dans Dans was originally self-released in 2012. It's been reprinted this year |
Quote:
The cover looks Neubautenesque. |
But the music is not :)
Think Coltrane, Sun Ra, guitar, bass, drums, freak out and cassette loops played through the guitar, with a special Flemish sauce |
