Anyone going to this http://www.atpfestival.com/newsview/1602111510 ?

Can't decide if it's a must, or an avoid. I'm a huge Elevators fan but fear ot could be a bad idea. Anyone seen him play Elevators songs the last few years? £30 is a pricey one, especially when you don't know how Roky will be.

Haim. Soul like Aretha. Black sounding like Betty Davis.

It seems pretty disappointing. I always like these guys best when they're exploring new (for them) territories. "More Light" was great for that, so I hope this is just a one off and the rest of the album gets a bit weirder. Their last great song for me was Deep Hit Of Morning Sun, totally...

This is a great track! Love the work of the good Lord Sabre.

It's not great is it. An unexpected new vibe, all shiny bright pop, safe and uneventful. Should appeal to her fans I guess.

Duet with Sky Ferreira = a pop song. Not sure if it's pop-tastic though. I thought they'd go off on an experimental vibe but obviously not.

What a great thread! No idea what you're talking about in some of it but it's a helpful and insightful read overall. I've got two iPods. One bought on honeymoon in NYC back in 2004, which still works but needs a daily charge, the battery has a life of it's own, sometimes looks fully charged but the ...

Sad news. I was only playing Today earlier as well, such a great song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uokp0aEiT-A

The new Iggy Pop songs are sounding really good. Collaboration with Josh Homme amongst others. Very Berlin era sounding.

I picked up a copy of that magazine at lunchtime. Wonderful bargain for £4.99. Love the big fold out Cotton Club poster within it. The next issues are £9.99, which isn't too bad a price really.

Where are you based Sunray? Just seen that they're playing the 100 Club in London on 28th March, which is a really small venue. https://www.gigantic.com/meatbodies-100 ... 3-28-19-30 . Quite tempted by it.

Great words Simon and Niamhm! I love seeing passion in peoples words on here. I see Ty has another new album on it's way, Emotional Mugger, which gets a rave review in this months Uncut. I'll go with Twins for the time being, once the festive money situation levels itself out a bit. Pretty sure I ha...

In the last 2-3 years the one artist who seems to keep delivering is Ty. His work rate is exceptional and the quality is always high. I saw him play at the end of the Manipulator tour at the Electric Ballroom and he destroyed the place. I know alot of people make bold claims and then when you witne...

Anyone familiar with Meatbodies? Main man is the bass player from Fuzz. Discovered them by chance yesterday when perusing the gig listings. I noticed that a local promoter, who has got some decent acts over in the past, was putting them on in April. They're playing some British gigs late March too....

Nice D-Unit write up on Backseat Mafia Shines. Such a great album, just finished having a blast of it before bed, a good cobweb clearing exercise. Will check out some more of your Best Ofs on there.

My gig going year is slowly coming to a halt after seeing the incredible Thee Oh Sees in London last week (an hour of sweat drenched mayhem, electrified and deranged). My local record shop, South Records in Southend On Sea, has an in-store gig by acid-folky Howard Eynon, which I'll probably go along...

I clicked on the link for London tickets but baulked at the prospect of paying £40+fees to see them, so left it alone. What makes it worth that much, the venue, the band?? Upper levels were cheaper but even so. It's an all seated venue too which kind of sucks. I saw them on the Screamadadelica but o...

It's from 92, when they won the Mercury Prize for Screamadelica http://www.mercuryprize.com/aoty/shortl ... ?Year=1992 . Odd choice for an album photo.

johnnyboy

For some reason this news is really exciting me since reading it late last night. Maybe it's the unexpected nature of it, the extremely brief teaser video, the use of a very old pic of Bobby on the cover (it's not a great cover is it, terrible in fact, kind of reminds me of the old TV test card http...

Sun Araw were slightly disappointing. I really like the early Sun Araw sound where his stuff was proper dubby and trippy, often with some heavy grooves to get the head bobbing. this was more minimalist and also a bit more jazzy and all over the place. he was generating some squelchy noises while a ...

Some of my friends who love noise and heavy bands don't really go for D-Unit either. Glad you loved them Niamhm!

Hofstadter - have you got the Gazebo Effect album yet? Would be interesting hearing your views on it. Even more 'out there' than Belomancie in my opinion. Very random, music played in the studio and fed into a 1/4" tape machine and manipulated in all sorts of weird ways. Beyond a normal song st...
