Tool- Parabola (DVD). I watched it a few hours ago. Confusing shit. I couldn`t understand even the fucking Jello Biafra comments on the band and the video. i´d like to enjoy Tool videos without thinking of smoking weed.



 

...................................
The Melvins- (a) Senile animal. Holy crap! It´s a great record. I curse myself for not buying it before.



 


..............................
Skinny Puppy- It ain´t dead yet? (DVD). I was just watching this one when my parents got into my room and started to telling me: "Why in the hell do you listen this horrible shit?", "That sounds like some bastard killing a bloody dog!"... "Are you into drugs or what?", "Turn your TV off, my head is starting to ache"....



 


Hey, great selections you got here. I haven't yet seen the "Parabola" or Skinny Puppy DVD's, but I did recently get the "Sonic Youth EP" (vinyl version) & (the) MELVINS "A Senile Animal". Both great collections of listening pleasure. & I must say, "A Senile Animal" is great when heard live.

So i jumped over the bin when i saw it, as for (a) Senile Animal i wasn´t conscious enough about the fact that there was a new Melvins album other than the great Houdini live record, i read about it in this mighty board just yesterday, i think, and i told myself i had to buy it or die. It´s a monster of a record, i must say. Amazing Melvins heaviness!...

The "Parabola" DVD includes the video for the song, a weird remix done by Lustmord (kinda boring, i must say), and there`s this Jello Biafra comment on the band and video, but it sounds so confusing i didn`t understand his fucking babble. Other than that, the video is killer visuals done Tool style and the artwork in the CD and packaging is really nice.

I´ve always been a Skinny Puppy fan, a lot of my friends have tell me over the years that this bands fucking deserves to die and be totally forgotten... I don´t care. They make me rock really hard. Sadly, I didn´t finish watching the thing because my parents heard the noise and found it disgusting:D.


I know what ya' mean about how hard it is to find certain SY albums in certain small towns. I had the same problem in not being able to find that record for a long time, than suddenly as if a beaken of light, I saw the SY EP vinyl in my local record store & bought it right there & then.

I have heard the Lustmord track on the Parabola DVD & I agree w/ yr sentiment of it's boredom, however I would love to hear the Jello Biafra babbeling about the band.

Again, props on yr recent pick-ups.

Most recently bought:

Rip It Up and Start Again: Postpunk 1978-1984 which is ok. Some shit on there though. I mean Heaven 17...c'mon.

sonicl 12.28.2006 07:59 AM

I was pretty disappointed in the tracklist on that Rip It Up and Start Again compilation. There was an opportunity there to make a really good compilation of '80s alternative music, but it was wasted.

There are so many bands notable by their absence.

I would have left off B-52s, Associates, Heaven 17, Human League, Robert Wyatt, Blue Orchids, Scritti Politti to name just a few.

And included Magazine, Pere Ubu, PiL, Throbbing Gristle, Joy Division, to name just a few.

But that's my taste.

I took it as being more of a personal favourites of Simon Reynolds so I wasn't really upset about him leaving out 'key' bands or anything. I quite like the fact that the B52s are on there because most people wouldn't have put them on there...not serious enough for most post punk scholars I imagine. Shame the B52s track isn't that great though.

I would have left of Human League and Heaven 17 as well but only because I think they are shit. A few others I would have left out as well and I thought the Slits track was an odd choice, so much better stuff on that record.

It did back up my suspicion that Pulsallama are great and need investigating further though.

And it was oly £5 and I did get to talk to the cute girl that works in Fopp so everyones a winner really.

That's true.

It seems to be a very personal choice rather than trying to encapsulate the time.

And I approve of the oddness of some of the tracks; it must have been very tempting to include a lot of more obvious bands and tracks.

sonicl 12.28.2006 08:30 AM

There's a good thread to be started here: Compile a 20 track postpunk compilation. But I'm not going to start it until I've decided my own tracklisting.



EDIT - It could be quite a while before I think about starting this. I compiled a list of artists and realised that I was about to put together a pretty run-of-the-mill "Alternative 80s" type compilation.

That'd be a joy.I have a really interesting compilation of post punk dutch bands at home.

Yay! Pink Flag on vinyl! I got my copy last month, too. Along with Chairs Missing and 154--which you must also own.

You got the 180 gram LP, right? Rhino, I think? Isn't it sweet? They did that one right--sounds so nice, and great job on the reissue cover/inner sleeve art, too.

Atlantic Black Gold - The 20 Great Soul Hits by Original Artists
Girls With Guitars

The Girls With Guitars LP is really good. It's a collection of stuff from female beat groups. Lulu appears on it but apart from that it's good.

k-krack 12.30.2006 03:57 PM

Beck- Mellow Gold
