Just going to put it out there that I’ve never been a massive Black Angels fan, saw them 1st 2007, half a set supporting Black Keys, never saw them again till 2017 at LPF and then last week I was on a freebie and I’ve never bought anything buy them till the sympathy purchase of their most recent alb...

Been living with it for a week now, I think it’s fantastic and up there with his best, idiosyncratic, joyous, thoughtful and moving, really looking forward to seeing him now

niamhm

Trying to think what’s coming up?

Goat,
Steve Mason,
Loop,
Black Keys,
War On Drugs,

That takes me up till the end of June,

Didn’t manage to make the Pigs x7 gig after all due to bloody Covid, hopefully see them later in the yr when they come to Glasgow again, but recovered in time to make The Black Angels at QMU last night, fabulous, far exceeding my expectations tbh, gone were the Austin Power- ish trappings of the Ind...

New single, Prism, is sounding marvellous to my ears,
I haven’t paid much attention the last two decades either bar a few listens to the last one, Prism just sounds like classic Orb to me though

niamhm

Pigs x 7 on Friday night, Edinburgh Liquid Rooms, first time in a decade,

The Black Angels, Glasgow QMU next Wed. hopefully

niamhm

Pigs x 7 - Land Of Sleeper, 4th album of doomy, stoner sludge with a nice dose of psychedelia, now refined and distilled to an art form

niamhm

After hearing the first couple of tracks it’s James Holdens - Imagine This Is A High Dimensional Space Of All Possibilities both are fantastic

The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Academy, Dublin: Not sure what the rest of the tour has been like but this definitely goes down as one of the worst BJM gigs i've seen. It was a fully sold out show in front of a very mixed demographic. The set was a little over 2 hours but i would estimate only ab...

Glasgow Garage is 700 capacity There you go then. Maybe i wildly over estimate Goat's popularity but i thought they'd be playing venues twice that size. Certainly minimum 1000 capacity. I think you’re over estimating for sure, last time they were here they played the sadly missed and now a pile of ...

Les Big Byrd - Eternal Light Brigade, late to this party but this is so good, BJM - Fire Don’t Grow On Trees, this has been getting a constant play since it came out, BJM at the Barras this weekend, Black Sabbath - Heaven And Hell, extremely late to this party but damn this is great album and Dio is...

I think £100 for the 4 records highlights box is reasonable - well compared to other items around - but no I won’t be buying it myself, the double cd maybe in a sale 18 months from now will probably suffice

niamhm

That is quite an astounding tune by PIL, taken a few days to get my head round it and on a personal level it hits quite hard, I honestly didn’t think PIL had a tune of this quality/standard left in them, what a beautifully moving start to the yr

1. Kikagaku Moyo - Kumoyo Island, 2. Micheal Head And The Red Elastic Band - Dear Scott, 3. Spiritualized - And Everything Was Beautiful, 4. All Them Witches - Bakers Dozen project. 5.

The Velvet Underground - Loaded: Sounding like one of the greatest albums ever made right now. Which of course it is. A hard to beat opening triple whammy and a finish of the glorious, majestic, not-enough-superlatives-in-the-world 'Oh Sweet Nuthin'. A constant reminder of friends, fields, sunshine...

niamhm

All Those Witches - been releasing a song a month this yr and been sticking them in a playlist, wouldn’t call it an album as such but it’s a shit load of interesting sounds that you might not have heard If they’d worked the material into a more digestible album type format, some really good stuff, ...

niamhm

Got mine today. From official site but no yellow, just black!! First listen.....I'm coming home sounds very nice. Vocals clearer and a more cleaner mix, less effects. More prominent sounds. Crazy difference is subtle. Again vocals sound clearer. Seemed slower to me too, probably isn't. Again less e...

niamhm

Currently trying to get my head round the 40 min opening track on Richard Dawson’s new album, The Hermit, 5/6 listens since last Friday and it’s a strange one even by his standards

niamhm

Is it a UK RSD release? Checked a few online shops lists and not seen it available and if it was it wouldn’t be available to pre-order from the band, that’s not RSD’s way of doing things. Could it be that it’s a US only release and the ones for sale from the band had to be imported, adding a bit to ...

Saw BDRMM this time last yr with Mildred Maude in support, noticed Stuart Braithwaite to the side of us - Hug And Pint is sold out with 100 punters, hard not to notice someone - seeing Mogwai on the 22nd Dec with BDRMM as supporting, will very much be looking forward to seeing them at Barrowland, th...

Pavement, Vicar St., Dublin - The first of 3 gigs in 4 days for me. The band had two sold out nights (their final gigs of the tour) and i was at the first. Managed to pick up a cheaper, rather than cheap, ticket a few days beforehand as I wasn't prepared to pay €60 for Pavement. Two hour set, playe...

Yep, brutal, been a fan of those PIL records since longer than I can remember, 65 is too young,

niamhm

Yeah saw that, 82 I think, that’s a grand old age and still performing till quite recently, always be held in regard for his contribution to those early Hawkwind yrs

niamhm

First track sounds good, tickets secured for next April I think, something to look forward to

niamhm

Hopefully make White Hills next week then The Cure start of Dec. and Mogwai the week b4 Xmas at the Barras, Mick Head a couple of nights after The Cure maybe, need to see nearer the time, fingers crossed though and that’s the yr done

Psychic Ill’s - Live At Levitation, have to say I’m enjoying this one

niamhm

Will the Sad Days Lonely Nights be a straight lift from a comp a decade or more ago? Hope not, that would would be pretty shit on an RSD release which are generally offer priced anyway

niamhm

The new Comet Is Coming - it’s bloody terrific- and the last All Them Witches album, going to see them Saturday, bit of a bummer original support Slift aren’t doing this rearranged show but ATW will be bitchin’ anyway

niamhm

This exact moment it’s Earthless - Night Parade Off One Hundred Demons,
Apart from that,
The Smile - A Light For Attracting Attention,
Loop - Sonancy
Porcupine Tree - Closure/ Continuum
The Fernweh - Torschlusspanik!

Some great albums

Dean Wareham @ Oran Mor Glasgow Great night this, like most of the country we seem to be in the midst of a relative heatwave, us pasty locals just aint used to this and Saturday night in town seems buzzin`. Had these tickets for almost 2 an a half yrs - this theme might reoccur- and was sold on the...

have a mad video as well, psychedelic and heavy, like it tbh but its still...

niamhm

Have to say after playing it 3/4 times I think its a thumbs up here, can feel a bit weird listening to some of these "superannuated" electro acts at times, they don`t half feel out of time and place if they aren`t careful, was listening to the Orbital 30 a bit, the good bits are still good...

niamhm

That would be Dean Wareham tomorrow night and Pixies next Thursday, never seen the Pixies since 1989,

. Compare it to the ludicrous price for Black Rebel Motorcycle Clubs - BRMC boxset, £130 with postage, dl album and a single 9 track album of out takes and a booklet, that`s taking the piss, Spotted this and thought of your post here. BRMC have released the 9 outtakes as a standalone vinyl, which i...

That tune is marvelous, pure ear candy,

As a pretty shitty bass player I was always impressed by Ryders bass lines and thought his best stuff was just out there, beyond my chubby fingers!! My own personal highlight is the rolling undercarriage he gives to Mad Cyril, so many memories attached to that one getting you on your feet, at 56 thi...

The Music Glasgow Barrowland this was a kinda last minute one for me, I knew it was on and knda expressed an interest to a mate ages ago - yrs in fact, been postponed and rescheduled a few times over 2 yrs now- and he sprung it on me a few before hand but Christ it was good, The Music`s premise is ...

niamhm

Can`t disagree with your assertions Joycey, Bummed and Pills are both 9/10 borderline 10 /10 to my ears, Bummed was a WTF is this and tbf still is really, never be another record like that where as Pills was two yrs later and we all thought we knew what the The Mondays were and they came along an bl...

100 quid for the 4LP boxset! 2 cds and a slip mat and booklet in there as well, I think its value for money if its your bag, whether it needs or deserves such a deep dive is another matter.

niamhm

Had a few listens the last two days and going to stick my neck out and say its the best since Revelation, sounds way more immediate than the last 3 at least to me

First and only time my wife saw Spiritualized, our daughter has now seen them more, absolutely scorching - for Scotland - that day

niamhm

Glasgow Barrowland 1985, sounds a bit ... but very listenable still, a good show for many reasons, first show after Lowlife was released
I think, my first New Order show as well, also my first of many times at Barrowland https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... QTkkFyRGQY

Large Euro tour late this yr and early next includes a regular stop off at Glasgow Barrowland but also the next night at Edinburgh La Belle Angel, much smaller venue, got my interest well piqued for that one

niamhm

Only heard the early, early, REALLY lo-fi Waiting For My Man... Its interesting, in the way The Beatles Anthology Vol 1 is and if it moves on similarly in future releases ( is this an archival series? I got that impression) I guess it could get interesting, but this level of early musical archeology...

niamhm

The new Kendrick, Kelly Lee Owens, The Smile and Kikagaku Moyo all getting a good play round here along with the new Michael Head And The Red Elastic Band and obviously Spiritualized, a shit load of good records/albums out just now

niamhm

A late offer of a ticket to see The Music on Tue, couldn`t resist the chance to see Leeds finest one last time then Mick Head And The Red Elastic Band on the Bank Holiday Friday

niamhm

Been listening to this a lot this last two weeks, its a massive thumbs up from me, the younger hip hop heads I know don`t seem so taken with it, " not enough bangers " apparently

F#@k them, what do they know, I think its marvelous and will be playing it a lot the next few months

Yes well done folks, I live in Scotland and had no idea they were on Vic`s show, in this social media age that`s a bit mental considering how much time I spend on it each day

niamhm

Yup, noted. Will definitely be at the Glasgow show major disasters permitting. This will almost make up for not getting to see Kikagaku Moyo again B4 they split almost, wonder if they have a new album in the offing as well

niamhm

Hope your dad enjoyed it, would love to get mine along to one,

It's a fascinating demographic at Spiritualized gigs these days (quite (small-c) conservative and straight-edge). I guess it's a lot of us 50-something 90's indie-kids who've grown up. Never thought i'd see a bunch of fat, bald, middle-aged men described as fascinating! Very few young folks at Spir...

:lol: :lol: :lol: EWB boxset finally arrived. All in one piece too, no seam splits or popped pill packs. Quite a tight fit, leaving little room for movement in transit. I actually had trouble removing everything but i see this as a good thing. All in all, far more impressive in the flesh and i'm gla...

niamhm

Ah nice one cheers, perhaps he was obscured by an amp haha. Even though I was at the front, because of the way the band are laid out you don't really see everything. I thought the keyboard player was handling a lot of the extra layers. I`m listening again and going to backtrack from that claim, Its...

Well he`s playing on Perfect Miracle on the Birmingham recording, you can hear him quite clearly, couldn`t say for sure but I think he played on 2 maybe 3 tracks in Glasgow

Second time at SWG3 in recent weeks and its fair to say its not my fav Glasgow venue, too far from city centre, wrong shape and no bar in the hall but these gripes aside it was a good night, come on its Spiritualized ffs how could it not be? A set built around the last two albums in the main and tha...

Shows were played in Belfast and Glasgow after ANH too, but yeah very few UK shows all in. They were and ANH sounded fantastic, not really sure what the problem is with playing a large part of it, just to say Damaged is one of my fav Spiritualized tunes the last 20 yrs, be over the moon to hear it ...

niamhm

Record arrived with me on Friday (standard black vinyl) and, thankfully, my copy sounds great. A lot of people are saying this is the best Spiritualized album since L&G but I'm a big fan of Let It Come Down and don't think it quite reaches those heights. Early days though but it certainly is a ...
