What’s on your turntable and why: Part 2, The Quest for the

[Mattman]

So, Allison’s original, legendary post on this topic was getting a bit long in the tooth… [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

So I made another one so that we don’t have to skip past 6 pages to get to the latest stuff. I even gave it a 2nd title, because all sequals have one. [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Anyway, on to the latest disks Mattman’s been spinning…

1. Minutemen, ‘Double Nickels on the Dime’ That amazon kidpunkrock guy made me go back and listen to this one again. [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

2. Husker Du, ‘New Day Rising’ Well, after listening to the Minutemen, I figured I might as well kick it old-school style and do the Du. (Sorry, that was lame, but I couldn’t resist… [img]images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img] )

3. Modest Mouse, ‘This is a Long Drive…….’ Way too long of a title for my lazy arse to type out. MM is pretty much a regular requirement, almost up there w/ J… [img]images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img]

4. Robert Pollard, ‘Not In My Airforce’ The brains behind Guided By Voices turns out songs like a factory… Averages a new GBV album, EP, and solo album a year. [img]images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img] The solo stuff’s abit more bizaar that GBV standard, but still good.

5. Servotron, ‘Entertainment Program for Humans (Second Variety)’ the 2nd album that came out in 98, yet I missed out on until I happened across it the other day. Not quiet as good as the first (No Room For Humans) but almost. Too bad they cancelled the musical production portion of the robot revolution (read: they broke up.) I’m sure the Servotron Robot Allegiance (SRA) has some other method in mind to takeover and destroy humanity. Between zombies, hostile aliens, and the upcoming robot resolutions, Allison and I, and our fellow underground allies are going to be very busy… [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Well, that’s enough for now… [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

Some good picks,folks.
Mattman-check out Pollard`s "Kid Marine" album if you don`t already have it,better then the last few GBV albums.I don`t have "Not In My Airforce" but heard a few songs from it,it does sound good.Pollard I heard is going to collaborate with Superchunk`s Mac McCaughan soon.
I heard a Servatron song on the radio last year,they`re cool.
Husker is always worth hearing,I have a good name for a Husker Du tribute album-Husker See Husker Du
I have a Zen Arcade tribute which is ok,not all of it is great but some of it is cool;Hammerhead does"Something I learned today",Zuzu`s Petals does"standing by the sea",Muskalunge does"Chartered trips",one of strange things is Big Trouble House covering "Turn On The News" country style!they play it country for the first half and then rock out at the end.

Mattman I am up for anything this fall, agree we have made some cool additions to the underground thing… [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] Love the title in a tribute sort of way, the other thread was getting kinda long [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

I hope my local music store has the new Radio Birdman,I really want to check that out.
The best of Johnny Thunders sounds cool-Born To Lose is a great song!is Chinease Rocks on it?I heard those 2 songs on the Rhino comp Blank Generation.
I was listening to the Modest Mouse profile I have taped from the radio and they mentioned that Iassac Brock has a solo album coming out on sub pop under the monicker Ugly Cassanova,I don`t know if it`s out yet but look for that,I wonder if it will sound like the Mouse?

[malcom]

1)Spacemen 3: Recuring, got it for $3.99 at a local record strore, not bad stuff!

2) Radiohead-THe Bends, need I say more?

3) Sonic Youth-Dirty,

4) Charles MIngus-THe Ken Burns Jazz series

5) John Frusciante- To Record Only Water for Ten Days, I love John

6) Ben Folds Five- Whatever and Ever Amen-Great songwriter, he is

[SG]

MINGUS!
That Ken Burns jazz series is pretty good,I have the Art Blakey and Sonny Rollins ones,very cool.
If you to check out a cool Mingus album,try to find"Right Now At The Jazz Workshop" it has 2 25 min songs that are like rollarcoaster rides."The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady" is great also,I think I`ll listen to it later.
SY`s Dirty is good,some critics are down on it,my fav song is the one Lee sings-"Wish Fulfillment","Chapel Hill","Swimsuit Issue" are great also,"Theresa`s Sound World" reminds me of a girl from school I used to know,very strange girl,the song seems to suit her,she was always nice to me.
Keep an eye out for Spacemen 3-Perfect Perscription,great album and if you have`nt checked out Spiritualized yet do so-"Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space is my pick for them.;ditto for Flying Saucer Attack,their 1st album is amazing,they cover Suede`s "The Drowners".

Hey Salamiguy,

Chinese Rocks is on the Thunders best of, also has Personality Crisis, Great Big Kiss and tons more

http://www.jungle-records.com/

great stuff there, Thunders diary and MC5 stuff as well. Think Dee Dee Ramone wrote Chinese Rocks but The Ramones didn’t do it as its about Heroin.
Great song!!!

Allison [img]images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img]

you should be able to download some Radio Birdman songs somewhere, there are 22 songs on the disc…not all are great. My fav currently is Hanging On.

[SG]

Maybe Audiogalaxy will have the Radio birdman
I`m trying to get a song on ag by Hazel called "Cosmic Allison"!

[Bucky Ramone]

Dream Syndicate – The days of wine and roses (reissue on Rhino, with a lot of bonus-tracks)
After hearing the Strokes (see elsewhere) I just wanted to hear some real music!

The Angels of Light – How I loved you
Band of Michael Gira (Swans), it’s a beautiful album, very quiet (not unlike Nick Cave’s latest album), with some of the most beautiful lyrics I’ve heard (and read) for a very long time, my album of the year thus far…..

Mercury Rev – All is dream
a beauty!!!!!
