The Pale Fountains - Bicycle thieves and From across the kitchen table. The originals from the vinyl version, what mad bastard remixed em for the UK release? Time for the remasterbators to get the album updated. Thanks for these jeff. Bicycle thieves was real influence on me, they looked great at that time, and this sound, the garage style guitar workout, Mick's screaming passion and the rock n roll feel is just perfect. | ||

Love the Fakebook album too, Griselda and You Tore me down have graced a lot of mixtapes over the years. Saw Yo La Tengo one exhuberant night in Essen in '95 and Loudly exclaimed that it was the best show I'd ever seen..(Just after the Pablo and Andrea guitar break from Elecro-pura)Ira quipped thanks but youre wearing an Oasis T-shirt! Morto! In my defence I only bought it as we were selling Oasis eyebrows at the Slane Castle show supporting REM that year, swear. First came across them in Hal Hartley's early films, does he do that anymore? In Your Dreams - Pony Club | ||

Spence - I'm wondering if the b-side version of It's Better This Way is the same version that was included on the US version of Sulk. I have both US and UK Sulks (track listings are very different), and the UK It's Better This Way has a more streamlined, straightforward bassline, whereas on the US version, the bass is absolutely off the hook. Art Objects - wasn't that the Blue Aeroplanes guy's first band? | ||
| spence Member Username: Spence Post Number: 2956 Registered: 05-2005 |
Jeff, I wonder too, I have the US version, it used to be as rare as rocking horse shit in the UK, I'll have to dig it out, if it is I owe you one as i loved that version and it would be great to hear it, NOW! Yeah jeff, Art Objects featured Gerard and brother John Langley, and cohort JJ and brother Robin Key and really was the first incarnation of the BA's. Bill Stair wwas also in them at tths stage, he went onto form Hugo Largo. You'd enjoy Bagpipe Music Jeff, its like a cross between very early BA's and Talking Heads, then it gets the all fu*ked treatment up by Gerard. | ||

Happenstance - The Church. Off the new album that I picked up at the very-late-for-sunday-night(12.30!)show. It's the only thing really grabbig me so far but it's very good. | ||
| spence Member Username: Spence Post Number: 2961 Registered: 05-2005 |
Geoff, I'll have to get that Church album, its gotta be great with a title like that! Blue Aeroplanes - the Applicant. The crescendo to this song blows me away. | ||

Trouble is a friend - Lenka. F*** me, this is damnably catchy pop fluff. A muso pal disses the trumpets, but trumpets improve everything in my opinion. An Australian model/actress apparently. I'm getting all my songs from Grey's Anatomy these days, oh dear. | ||

Skeevier!! had to google that one, Alan. Interestingly, it seems it's adapted from the Italian "schifo" - so my students will be happy about that anyway. | ||
| Michael Bachman Member Username: Michael_bachman Post Number: 1405 Registered: 01-2005 |
Kathleen Edwards is one of my five favorite current female singers. I think she's showing progress as well, as her singing on her 2008 album Asking For Flowers was better then her first album, 2003's Failer. The songs she wrote on AFF were better than the previous album, 2005's Back To Me. She's great in concert as well. | ||

Wolfhounds - Happy Shopper. Brought back memories of supporting them once, they soundchecked it and I fell in love with the chorus' double snare beat. They were absoultely amazing too, like a glossy birthday party. | ||

I saw them live in a club in 1993 Spence (supporting Radiohead - and blowing them away). I have a couple of 12"s of theirs, but nothing on either disc matched what a force they were live. I think I might have an album of theirs on cassetts too. | ||
| spence Member Username: Spence Post Number: 2998 Registered: 05-2005 |

Just listening to Paul Weller live and whilst I was on about drummer's, one of my fave musical (muso) subjects...Yawn i hear you yawn!...Steve the drummer for Weller is technically great, but there's no feeling there, he simply resembles a Garageband drum sample, unlike John langley, who plays with real feel, what a difference. | ||

Strangelove - were they on Virgin Records? If so I think that was a band I saw supporting American Music Club in the 90s. They were quite good if I remember correctly , but cant remember any of the songs!! | ||

Aimee Mann - I should've known. This really perks me up on a morning where I am struggling to get motivated, the guitars are just wonderful on this, the sound the interplay, i think I saw Dave Gregory from XTC play with her in Birmingham once, that would explain the guitars, dunno if he was on the recording... | ||
