One of first bandcamp purchases I've made this year. Good stuff.

One of those kids is Nils Frahm, in 1989

Nice stuff, sounds a bit like a mix between (duh) Nils Frahm and Oiseaux-Tempete
it's much better than what I recall from his latest albums, and live perfrmances

I enjoyed his first LP on Captured tracks with it's whimsical-lo-fi charm but after that he became more Techno and Industrial influenced with some of the cringiest lyrics you could possibly imagine. Too much coke, should have stuck with beer, because like I always say: a beer for a day keeps the industrial-techno-fucks away

Matthew Bower got cancelled for being a white supremacist. Did it get reissued by Cold Spring or Hospital by any chance?

He did a post on his blog a few years ago about how he embraced Brexit. To be honest I wasn't offended by it, it just made made me think more about how sometimes some musicians I admire are also hopeless idiots when it comes to politics. A few years ago I read an interview with Jennifer Herrema where she seemed sympathetic with the invasion of Iraq by Bush. Did not stop me loving Royal Trux, but certainly I realised one of their members came across as the American blueprint for your average Trump voter. See also Maureen Tucker of the Velvet Underground. Made music history with the band. Put out some good records. Now the sort of working class idiot who genuinely thinks their (probably short) life is going to get a boost for her family by voting again for the same guy. Nobody taught the woman about class consciousness, obviously.

Toilet & Bowels 02.28.2024 04:34 PM

Bower did more than post about Brexit, from what I remember he had gone down the occult pagan aryan road and when he was outed a couple of musicians he had been associated with previously sadly verified the claims. The music of his I liked before I still like now but you I'm not going to buy any new releases.
Apparently Mo Tucker being a tea partier has been debunked (I don't care if she is or isn't). I don't care if Jennifer Herrema implied support for invading Iraq (it's lame but irrelevant and anyway its post Royal Trux). Johnny Ramone, Jimi Hendrix, James Brown, etc etc. If people support the wrong team in politics it's an error in judgement (or whatever) and I'll still buy their records and/or see shows, but being a white supremacist is just really gross.

Yeah, this. I think there’s even an SYG thread about it.

Savage Clone 02.29.2024 08:53 AM

I remember reading the article in The Quietus about it; definitely more to the story than Brexit. And definitely disappointing.
I like a lot of music by people with extremely sketchy views (IIIrd Gatekeeper is a huge favorite of mine and made a giant impression at the time), but everything is just too real now and my edgelord days are behind me.
I’m sure way more people than any of us realize have objectionable views; One thing that is nice about certain subcultures is that they put it right out there for you and you can make your decisions on the front end a lot of the time.

Keith Richards - "I'm Waiting For The Man"

No, seriously. From The Power Of The Heart: A Tribute To Lou Reed.

I wasn't aware of the white supremacist stuff. I remember Neil Campbell posting something about the Brexit thing on Twitter and thinking it was another musician whose music I enjoy but with, unsurprisingly, the wrong political direction and eager to express it. Opinions that never make a difference anyway. Maureen Tucker has been an active member of her working class local movements since I care to remember, just by reading her interviews over the years. Possibly since she was working at Walmart years ago. The Tea Party was one of the many protest political movements we've seen coming and going without leaving any effective legacy over the years, like 'Occupy' etc. Whether she was part of it or not does not even matter. She still flaunts 'American Values' on FB all the time. It's not about being offended by this sort of thing here, it's more about how it's ultimately clueless and ineffective political propaganda that chips away from one's enjoyment of someone's music.

Echo Collective Plays Amnesiac

Some are good, some are boring, some are annoying


@Soup:
you probably want to listen to this (if you hadn't seen it already). It was posted in the comments of a recent Cat Power gig on Dime:

Yessir! That Robyn Sings is such a cool record... Released via his own Editions Paf!, so not many minty copies out there.

Glad I still got to see them perform cuts from that live.

hippietears 04.05.2024 10:21 AM

I listened to "To Our Children's Children's Children" by The Moody Blues for the first time last night, and I really liked it! I love the experimentation and I think here are little hints of noise rock/shoegaze in the album! Floating has to be my favorite from the album!

Cindy Lee - Diamond Jubilee

Much hyped, admittedly a tad on the "way overlong" side, but an intriguing listen nonetheless. It's juicy and playful and does feature a good bit of variety. This is, like, my third listen in the last couple of months. I dig it.

listen to their live recordings plenty of time. Haven't gotten their latest album the attention that it deserves though.
note to self: should put it on my phone so I can listen to it on my commute to work ...

He's like Rick Astley if his face had the features of a younger Luke Haines and was into Samba. You've thrown some new horror at me Diesel.
