From WIll at Rough Trade..

We have actually had to cancel the old orders and increase the price.
The band have increased it, so we have had to.
Regards,
Will

I wonder did the band really increase the price?

Broc

makes you realise just how good the likes of amazon are- if the list price is accidently Â£5 instead of 50 you only have to pay 5. also preorders are protected against price increases. i pre-ordered a book that was delayed and released a few months later at a higher price but i still only was charg...

This is what is stated on the Rough Trade T&C page, looks like they can do what they like. I wonder will they increase the shipping charges for a double LP as well? If an error is discovered in the price of the goods that you have ordered, we will inform you as soon as possible. In the event tha...

Broc

I e-mailed this morning to confirm that it was the white vinyl double LP and Will Burns confirmed to say it was. No mention of a price increase (and just checked my e-mails). If they do I'll try to get it elsewhere and never shop there again.

Any chance to redirect this thread to the Spacemen 3 section Mods please?

Seems like a a more natural fit and may generate more Spectrum related conversation, which is always a good thing. Thanks guys.

Wilco - A Ghost Is Born. My favourite Wilco LP. Jeff Tweedy's lead guitar on this record is sublime, wish they got rid of Nels Cline and his fret noodling/wanking. Tom Waits - Orphans, Disc 2 - Bawlers Tom Waits - Bad As Me Broken Bells - Broken Bells. Still get a big kick from from this LP. Lux n I...

Broc

Originally it was released as a single LP.

A chemist must have designed the cover. The green symbol is chemical shorthand for cyclooctane http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclooctane. The type used in the middle is the classical font used for the periodic table and the Huh? in the middle reflects the naming conventions for the extremely unstabl...

With that one I like the second bit of that record the best though, and with 'Hey Jane' I like the first - despite it's distinct unsimilarity to that tune that was linked here earlier.

Wow, good to see these finally re-isssued. Will Highs, Lows and Heavenly Blows and get the same treatment I wonder? And really impressed to see the Spectrum album with the op-art sleeve. Already have both versions of this record, Soul Kiss and Highs, Lows on vinyl, just missing the translucent versi...

I'm partial to a little memorabilia myself but god knows what these mugs will end up at, Â£46 for the three of them at the moment...

Broc

Yeah I don't see the point in mentioning it really. It's his health and a private matter.

I don't have any interest in the story behind the artwork really, it's that awful. It should come in a brown paper bag like a mag from the top shelf.

Broc

Yeah looks like Penthouse and Bewitched (first time on vinyl - could never understand why this didn't get a vinyl release) are to be re-released later this year/next year on the Gotta Groove label. "allegedly last studio album"..first I've heard of that! Bewitched is probably my favourite ...

Broc

I read that article and was pretty disgusted, but then I spoke to a few friends that went, and apparently the booing has been extremely over-exaggerated by the journalist. Apparently he wasn't "booed off stage", but a very small group of idiots booed for 10 seconds after he'd finished his...

Broc

Weren't the first three Spectrum LPs supposed to be re-released last year? It'd be cool if they did the first two with the op-art again. I'd love to see what Sonic originally had in mind for the cover of "Highs, Lows and Heavenly Blows". I wonder will we ever hear "On The Wings Of Mer...

Yoiks! Looks like he has.

Broc

Best news I've heard in ages, Rendezvous & Romantica to be released on vinyl for record store day..

And Bewitched to be released on vinyl later in 2012!! First time any of these are to be issued on vinyl.

Broc

Wow, what a shit cover.

I'll avoid the song as I've managed to avoid everything so far apart fom the Other Voices gig which I found disappointing.

Um, what is it with Jason continually copying Sonic with the 7" cover? It's not like Sonic releases loads of stuff. Does nobody mention it to him?

Broc

I'd say Sonic couldn't give a fuck and got a good laugh out of it. Maybe when he saw the adverse reaction he pushed the boat out and went a bit EAR on them. I was reading an interview with him last night in which he said.. "In the 80s, we used to absolutely loathe going to Switzerland because w...

The 12" remixes is one of my favourite Spiritualized releases and has a special place in my heart. These are the only versions I play, never play the Complete Works version, is that the same as the 7"? I worked in an Irish bar in Berlin in the summer of 1991 and had this and Recurring on a...

Broc

I loved the debut and the second was excellent in places but a bit patchy really. Much prefer some of the German album versions of songs from the second (Fontana/Butterfly/House Of Love) album. A mate always said the later albums were very good as well though my interst had waned by then. I only saw...

Broc

It has to be better than his latest run of poor records (excluding Le Noise).

I thought Greendale was great, a few tracks don't do so much for me but there are some really great songs on it. And while it was CrazyHorse, it was a threepiece, minus Frank Sampedro.

Broc

Got this in November, nice 7". Looking forward to these Fuxa singles and new LP. That Marty Suicide GPS 7" was great.

Broc

Somebody suggested starting with Frank's Wild Years . Not sure I can agree with that. It's not a bad album, but sort of a weird spot to start. That was me, it's where I started with him back in the late 80s. I suppose there's loads of albums you could start with, look at all the previous posts. I l...

Broc

Bone Machine is indeed fantastic but personally wouldn't recommend starting with it.

I love Big Time, the video was great, wish it was re-released on DVD.

Broc

I'm not a huge fan of his early stuff but love basically everything since Raindogs. I've been on a big Waits binge since December and picked up Alice, Blood Money, Real Gone, The Black Rider (re-issue) and Bad As Me all on vinyl over the Xmas period. Frank's Wild Years might be a good place to start.

Dunno, probably. Look at adults playing on youtube and they are definitely uncool. Had to let my nephew beat me last weekend. First time I'd played in about 30 years. Great fun.

I will add though that it was slightly disconcerting to like bands that hardly anyone had heard of when 9 years old so I also managed to acquire a sizeable Adam and the Ants collection at the same time.

Broc

Multi, are you saying we can't be critical of Jason's art because he nearly died a few years ago? What a ridiculous thing to say. That made me laugh.

Broc

Bob Dylan - Christmas In The Heart, first time this year, absolutely wonderful.
Magnetic Fields - Distortion
Wilco - The Whole Love
Tom Waits - Bad As Me
Spectrum - War Sucks 12"
Beck - The Information

And selected tracks form Spectrum's Soul Kiss which blew me away, as always.

Broc

Spoon - Transference

Hey They Transmit, thanks a million for all your work on this, just downloaded it late last night but won't listen to it till after I have the wax in my hands, I'm old fashioned in that regard.

Like others have said the lyrics can be somewhat secondary to Spiritualized as long as the music stands up, I've already said (twice) that I'm totally bored with the Jesus/Lord/Fire thing. The main thing for me is the music has just been dull the last few albums and in that case the J/L/F aspect sti...

Blondie - Blondie. Some great stuff on this record. Tom Waits - Bad As Me. Lovely packaging with the 12"x12" booklet. I really like some of this though some tracks feel like old songs re-done and other tracks don't do too much for me. It starts well but lulls a bit in the middle. Finishes ...

Apologies if there's been a thread on this before but all I could find was one for MP3 players.

Anyone have any tips on good stereo headphones for under â‚¬100/Â£80? Not my area of expertise!

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

ive only heard the 2 songs on the guardian website i like Hey Jane a lot more than So Long Pretty Things i have to say i'm getting a little tired of the lyrical cliches myself.. both songs have references to "lord", "jesus" and "fire" it's like come on.. i know he's cl...

Broc

I hadn't heard any of the new tunes so thought Hey Jane was great, those other two in the middle not at all. Maybe they might grow on me but I'm well sick of Jason's fire/lord themed songs. At this stage he should leave them instrumentals if that's all he can come up with. Hey Jane was certainly a h...

Totally impossible!

I'd go along with Runcible in naming my top 8/desert island eight bands. Much more do-able. Not saying it wouldn't be really tough..

The Killing - Yes, I liked season 1 (the original Danish one). Just started watching season 2 on BBC4 last Saturday night. Haven't seen flight of the concords.

That's the thing...concerts in Europe are so much more expensive. I've seen many gigs in England (and even in Dublin at Vicar St. and at the Melqweg in Amsterdam) and 20-30 quid is kinda the norm for many shows. Thing is....rarely do I see a gig here that is over $20/$25. Almost all are $10-$20. So...

I got The Whole Love about two weeks ago and on initial impressions I was pretty underwhelmed.

I think it...

I got this about a fortnight ago and have played it about six times at this stage. I'm a little underwhelmed so far.
