yeh ... it's really not right ...
bands websites should be where you get cheap stuff; the domino records site sells its releases cheaply; the low site points you to insound where you can get cheap vinyl n stuff. Â£33 for a single's ridiculous, as lovely as it looks.

Henry Rollins (Manchester..H - Lowry Jan' 2005 awesome - gig of 2005). my first encounter of henry rollins was the five-thousand-words-a-minute rambling of the punk documentary. it left me pretty scared and confused. i watched lost highway the other night and saw him in that, too ... what does he d...

@ Brudenell Social Club 19/3/06- Leeds Â£5 doors 7.30

that's a really strange venue ...
i went there the other week for fracoiz breut; it's like some cub scout hut or after-football-practice-meeting-hall. strange anyway ...

anorthernsoul

i'm hopeless at recommending stuff album-wise, but i think the two, or three, basic periods are the twenties stuff, then the sixties stuff, which is split into studio or live, only really differentiable by whether there's applause at the end. the first things i heard and loved were studio 60s stuff,...

anorthernsoul

don't apologise shonn ... jefferson airplane know what you mean.

there's some really interesting interviews with kevin shields about the improved dynamics and importance of having girls in a band. he made it sound pretty positive.

anorthernsoul

as for the 13th floor elevators, i don't see how you can compare the two.

you can't really, i was just dying to use my patent pending 'the thirteenth floor elevators aren't as good as everyone says' line.

anorthernsoul

the intro to jerry lee's is great, really clunky and sort of in the right place dr-john-y. but the rest isn't as good. there's that really great high note in ted taylor's at the end, too, heyyyy. ..

anorthernsoul

a report i read said that he was producing/recording again, with whatever relation of his' sly tribute band. it'd be good to hear him do some lo-fi stuff again.

anorthernsoul

american radio interviews make me wanna cry. i can't remember the guy who does them - nick harcourt? - or whether he's kcrw/kexp, but they're just cringeworthy. the elliott smith one's depressingly bad.

anorthernsoul

i like felt more with each passing day. i can't decide whether to get 'forever breathes the lonely word', 'poem of the river' or the 'strange idols pattern' one. sorry if i've got any titles wrong.

anorthernsoul

because ... it's ... not ... even ... similar? have you not heard the end of that album? it's like a big psychedelic orchestra of chanting. just listen to danse kalinda ba doom, it's about two minutes long but insane. i love it. i'll even stick my neck out and say it's better than anything the eleva...

anorthernsoul

aw man, that album's amaziing ... it's been going round n round since i got it. get it on your headphones.

anorthernsoul

there's a film out in april, apparently, with lots of glastonbury footage in. i'm sure it'll be the dregsy festival moments, but still. that should be good.

anorthernsoul

i wish i could see the bono picture i posted; i pretty much came to the library to view the unfolding response to my massive comic contribution to the board. man ... has anyone seen dr john recently (/ever)? and, for that matter, does anyone fancy educating me about the night tripper lps (after gris...

anorthernsoul

yeh ... good point ... i'll buy the lp when i buy it, so i'm kind of oblivious to the cd buying side of things, but i'm still expecting to have to track it down. has anyone seen any of tav's films? looking for info on them i found that they were shown at the mojo/memphis thing last year. i would hav...

anorthernsoul

if it's mindblowing, post on here will you?
i'm still weighing up my finances as means of deciding whether i can go and see them in a week or so ...

anorthernsoul

yeh, panther phobia: manifesto! is part of the persuasion to buy the lp; i had it on my walkman this week (followed by 'fluorescences' by stereolab to ease the pain), it's incredible. you have sucked the mop of arrogance. and, the masturbators of necessity ... that line was so good he had to say it ...

anorthernsoul

i thought i'd give these a thread of their own, they're pretty much what i've been listening to lately. does anyone dig them? not to blow my credibility, and reveal that i've only got downloaded stuff so far, but i'm torn between buying 'behind the magnolia curtain' and 'panther phobia' first. i thi...

anorthernsoul

oui-
i might be able to tape (old-fashioned-tape) the radio three thing but the resonance one will likely be beyond me. someone tape it!

anorthernsoul

i watched this last night ... it was really good. henry rollins oughtta take something to slow him down. he's terrifying. a part of me thought it should have been a soul deep-esque series, maybe three one hour parts, because it sped through everything so fast; half way through i kept wanting them to...

i've never seen this before. i'm not encyclopaedic about washington but the last few song titles are new to me ...
i guess they found some new sides.

anorthernsoul

i guess it might be an expanded full single, but song for a secret got released as a split 7" with sister vanilla (linda reid) a while ago ...
it seems as if there is stuff on the way though.

anorthernsoul

wow ... marion recorded a washington tune, hey ... the only other covers i really know are sister rosetta tharpe's cover of denomination blues, 'that's all', and ry cooder's pretty straightforward cover of the same song. he wrote a lot of standards though, things gillian welch and folks have done li...

i've seen that newport dvd, ans, and i agree - it is indeed beaut. must try and see it again. it's mad ... i was expecting 'blues at newport' to be like ... blues performances from the festival. for anyone who hasn't seen it: it's like some lock-in in a back room from the 1930s. a really little cro...

"john the revelator" done by blind willie johnson and i believe his sister wow, is that his sister? i always wondered who that was ... that's a whole style of singing in itself. i got blues-at-newport out on dvd recently, you can see someone singing with bukka white (i think) in the same ...

anorthernsoul

wow, good skills jebus ...
i've heard breaker, i really like it. i did think it had something of a queens of the stone age vibe but i dig it nonetheless. thanks ever so for that mp3, i'll carry it home with me.

anorthernsoul

thanks for that, a beautiful noise ... you make us sound like a six o'clock news team. i've never seen low and think that now must be a pretty good time. like with shine a light on the royal albert hall gig, hearing quieter stuff after loud stuff makes it hang in the air better, float more. i've bee...

ha ha. right. well, aside from flashbacks to films only ever shown, but always shown, at christmas, i still think it should work alright. i think you can use your account without ever 'authorising' it. i guess they just added it as some laborious step which allows them to pinch a coupla bucks off yo...

Silent Night (trad)

i've been too lazy to look this up, but, i was looking at the sleeve of low's christmas lp the other day and saw a writing credit for silent night. is there one, or is it traditional?

Hey, instead of waiting on Pete, lets get two birds with one stone by starting a tree and send each other cash for copies: we help Pete's struggling distribution department and everyone gets to get down!!!!!

things i've seen and learned from flicking through that post:

- the words: liver, bottle, 3" cd, child-resistant lid
- all record and release formats and regions ever
- and my birthday.

it might be daniel johnston's birthday tomorrow. happy birthday if so.
i really wanna go to that london date.

anorthernsoul

ah wow, good skills reporters ...

It's on again February 16th with the Spaceman and trumpet, trombone, sax, cornet, i'll see you there with rum on!

that sounds pretty good.

anorthernsoul

cool beans. i've got a pretty battered copy of tago mago that i'm borrowing, at my house at the mo, that's been on the turntable enough ... i think i'll eventually buy an lp rather than the cds, but it's cool to know they sound good. those liner notes are the most frustrating thing ever ... as if it...

anorthernsoul

no-one's posted in this thread for a while, so i thought we could play a game, liven things up while pete's not around. it's called pass the cds. anyone?

anorthernsoul

Can - Tago Mago (remastered) Can - Ege Bamyasi (remastered) i don't know whether it was just the token spiel that goes with remasters and reissues, but hearing can talk about the new re-releases, it sounded like they were really different, like how-they-were-always-meant-to-sound. are they good?

anorthernsoul

that's pretty good news ... i think they were recording before j got ill, then from october onwards and then were back in the studio this january, so perhaps it's all done ...

oui. i'd say roots and superfly are up there, though. 'the other side of town' knocks me out. i've always wanted to make a tape (it'd be really fucking dull and pretty self indulgent) of songs with that kind of similar harp-y intro, like, sweet jane, alice coltrane's stuff ... on the off chance they...

anorthernsoul

oui oui, is this right ... the kind of best-of stuff just bounces off me now. it's o k but they're more akin to groovy instrumentals than real songs. maybe that's being a bit overly down on him, though. i have the same problems with jimi hendrix. it's only that this is meant to be a james brown thre...

anorthernsoul

hey hey. i'm nowhere near encyclopaedic enough to make anyone a james brown tape, but i've recently done a kind of u-turn on what i think of him. i've never really liked his famous, sixties stuff beyond a foot-tapping way, but (partly on the enthusiasm of xtrmntr era bobby gillespie), i've started c...
