Hugely unsuccessful band but massively influential.
I hear shoe-gaze, grunge, slocore and there's probably a few more micro genres in there too.
Great to learn to play to.

Listening to her album this week. Amazing.

I'm enjoying most of 22, A million. Bon Iver's new album.
It reminds me of the Avalanches "I will always love you" album, but less refined, less tuneful.
Needs a couple of listens.
Talking a trip back to the mid 90s to listen to Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette. I completely dismissed this first time round as I was getting a bit carried away with Britpop and all the associated stuff but give or take a few too many out of tune hollers, it's a truly brilliant album.
Also going back through all Elliott Smith's albums, my favourite of which is Figure 8, dark and tormented but beautiful melodies.
Chairs Missing is in the running for my favourite album ever.Quote:

New albums from the Alabama 3 and the Filthy Tongues.
Also re-discovering my love of Jacques Brel through Scott Walker.
And likely to get the new album by Hi-fi Sean and David McAlmont.
Oh, also .... in the light of David Lindley's passing.... replaying almost everything he ever did.
I’m back into vinyl so been spending a fortune buying the stuff I had before.
This week I’ve got Big Country The Crossing and Prefab Sprout From Langley Park to Memphis
I read a biography of Scott last year. Back then good English translations of Brel's lyrics were at a premium. Walker got wind through his tin pan alley connections of a guy who was producing translations which he eventually used. The translator for some reason wanted to stay anonymous but also wanted paid so this led to Walker meeting a middle man on a specified park bench, handing over the cash and getting the lyrics. The middle man was singer Kenny Lynch.Quote:

I'd never hear of Joe Pass and never really got into Jazz, found it on a specific Jazz search for 1973. I have been doing this for well over a year now and I still have loads to go through, in fact it could become a lifelong exercise! I use sites like Rate Your Music and Allmusic.com for the lists and I have Apple music which seems to have most of the albums apart from the very obscure ones. I listen to everything, stuff I have heard before and stuff I have never heard of, I keep the albums I like and delete the ones that don't appeal.
One of my favourite albums of that time was 50 years old last weekend. The Captain and Me by the Doobie Brothers.Quote:

I'll check the book.Quote:

Inhaler's new album, Cuts & Bruises and loving it. Also, De La Soul's, 3 Feet High & Rising vinyl arrived last week. Great to finally get their back catalogue released, my original is scratched to ****!
The main event of the year is only a couple of weeks away....Depeche Mode's latest offering, Memento Mori is released......
I've had that album for ever but only really got more into it recently. Some really great songs on it. Its amazing how much 12XU is exactly what American hardcore punk became 3 or 4 years later.Quote:

Like most rock fans, I've been listening to a lot of Sleep Token lately. Also been enjoying a lot of Spanish Love Songs (a beautiful, obscure little pop-punk band).
At the heavier end, Invent Animate released a new album on Friday and I can't stop listening to it.
At the extreme end, I've been dipping my toe into deathcore music and Lorna Shore's "Pain Remains" album is phenomenal (but intense, especially if you don't listen to heavy rock).
I'm off to see Death Cab for Cutie at the Usher Hall on Wednesday so their discography and new album, Asphalt Meadows has been getting some good time in my ears.
Few things I've been listening to a fair bit.
Home Front - games of power
FLKS - High on Life
Wrong Life - s/t
Martha - please don't take me back
Bear Away - A Drastic Tale Of Western Living
Depeche Mode's Memento Mori released this morning (but had a leaked copy for the last week). Brilliant album. To be releasing new music of this quality after 40 odd years is incredible.....puts many of their contemporaries to shame! Can't wait to see them in Vegas next week. :partyhibb

Today was mostly spent listening to Leatherface after reading the sad news of their original drummer Andy Laing having passed away on Tuesday.
They were a big favourite of John Peel and did a good few sessions for him. Kicked off today with my all time favourite album "Mush" and worked my way through a fair chunk of their albums.

Beaster by Sugar , released 30 years ago today and still sounding fresh.

Mush is a brilliant album. Much underrated as was Dickie Hammond, whose guitar playing is superb on that LP.
[QUOTE=NORTHERNHIBBY;7320507]Yeah, dickie was an exceptional guitarist. His style seemed to perfectly compliment Frankie Stubbs guitar as well.Quote:

Although Andy Laing wasn't with them for the stormy petrel that is another incredible album.
Dickie was excellent in HDQ and Dr Bison as well, worth checking out if you haven't already heard them.
Probably listen to stuff most of you aren't into though at the minute I'm listening to Irish band Aslan .

Ziggy Stardub - East All Stars.
Ska/Reggae/Rocksteady cover of the whole Ziggy Stardust album.
Sounds like it could have been produced in the 70's but is just out. Strangely new and old at the same time. Really, really works though, great album.

Also been listening a lot to the Queers this week. Grow Up, Love songs for the ******ed, Move back home, Pleasant Screams and Dont back down all been on the past couple of days.
I'll give that one a try.Quote:

Not sure what's going on in Oz but the amount of superb punk bands churning out stuff over there just now is incredible. As well as the more well known ones like amyl and the sniffers and the chats there are numerous others like Civic, Alien Nosejob, R.M.F.C, Sick Thoughts, Tropical ****** storm, Gee Tee, Jackson Reid Briggs & the heaters....and plenty more.
Will be listening to this every day until next Saturday :aok:

Listening to 24 hour revenge therapy by Jawbreaker a lot this week. It's a classic sort of emo/post hardcore album from '94 that stands the test of time.
They were signed up to a major label after that album and were expected to be another of the breakout punk bands of the time along with offspring and green day. It all unravelled whilst they were recording their major label debut and it flopped while they split up.
https://youtu.be/4KGzXUmbyiQ
If you only listen to one Jawbreaker track IMO it has to be Boxcar. Brilliant lyrics and catchier than Covid. Real shame that this band missed the bus.Quote:

Wagon Wheel is just sublime.
Maybe slightly off topic but recently started listening to 1AU Greatest Hits, it’s a DAB radio station plays 60s 70s and 80s hits no adverts no DJs just continuous music all my era of easy listening too.
Enjoying the New Pornographers new album Continue As A Guest. Bit more mellow than some of their others but a grower.
Losers of the year by Sludgeworth. Recorded early 90s and never got released at the time and only got vinyl release tail end of last year.

After last night's gig I've been listening to Ruts DC album Music Must Destroy.
https://youtu.be/H0t1S6qww9o
Now I'm just about to stick on Jettison by Naked Raygun
https://youtu.be/kELPePht71I
Ruts DC are a great live band. Their three part harmonies on songs like Kill The Pain are superb. Last time I saw them they were touring The Crack Album which didn't quite work, but on The Stranglers tour they were great.Quote:

Been listening to a lot of Mayday Parade lately - especially their latest release, 'What It Means to Fall Apart'. I've loved this band for 15 years now, since they released 'A Lesson In Romantics'.
They were the first band I seen live as we came out of lockdown and I was a bit of a wreck seeing them. Hoping they'll be back in the UK later this year/next year.
The Dead South is another new discovery to me, bluegrass/country sort of stuff.
Good Company is the album.
I like Apple Musics play similar function, you hear lots of different stuff but it seems to intersperse songs that you have listened to in the same genre as well. Whether by luck or by design I don't know.
Been listening to the new Sleep Token album on repeat this morning - 'Take Me Back To Eden'.
I didn't think it could live up to the hype of the singles, but it does. Definitely an AOTY contender already.
Jazzmatazz by Guru. Probably the greatest ever hip-hop album turns 30 today….. and I feel old AF.
On the same theme, I've been listening to The Color and the Shape today (on its 26th birthday!). The album that really blew up the Foo Fighters.Quote:

I'm not much of a fan of the Foo fighters but josh freese is an exceptional drummer. I've seen him with the vandals quite a few times going back early 90s through to mid 2000s and he was very good. The vandals were really good but i wasn't that impressed with some of their stuff after Hitler bad, vandals good.Quote:
