I filed away the last pile without posting on here but here is the current unfiled stack: Black Watch -- Amphetamines Dentists -- Behind the Door I Keep the Universe. This is a pretty decent album but a later one -- "Deep 6" -- is heading straight for the discard pile. Claire Diterzi -- Le Salon des Refusees Ghostbrother Project -- Back Into Your Heart Greene -- Minor Sun Hey Paulette! -- Long Ball Into Nowhere Labrador -- This Time Mademoiselle K -- Ca Me Vexe Mademoiselle K -- Jamais la pa ix McCarthy -- Complete Albums, Singles & BBC Sessions. Just in case the sound is better. I adore McCarthy. I haven't tired of them at all since Spence first sent me something of theirs maybe 5 or 6 years ago. Nite Fields -- Depersonalisation Viet Conga | ||

How much did the Dexys vinyl cost? Outrageous, or a bargain? Does it play OK? What an amazing album. | ||
| Lewisdhead Member Username: Lewisdhead Post Number: 137 Registered: 01-2007 |
Hi Padraig. Decent clean copy, vinyl was pristeen, just needed a bit of a clean. Played without fault. Sleeve had a tear from a sticker being removed. A 2nd hand vinyl shop opened in Waterford last week, early days, but potential there to grow. A bargain IMO at €8 (11AUD). Had a look on Discogs, and the vinyl is not as rare as I thought. I think the extended directors cut CD version sells for silly money. | ||

From Amazon: Dominique A - Memoire Neuve Dominique A - Si Je Connais Harry Albums so old, Mr A still had hair. Thank you to whoever first wrote about him here. Without this site I doubt I would ever have independently come across him. | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 7322 Registered: 05-2005 |
Should be La Mémoire Neuve, of course. | ||
| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 3499 Registered: 03-2005 |
Padraig, my recollection is that Dominique A was originally pitched by Stuart. The woman singing with him on "Teenage Kicks" is Dom A's then-girlfriend Francoiz Breut. Somewhere someone reported who Grant McLennan was enthusing about in the year before he died and Francoiz Breut was on that list and that's how I got started on her (though I unluckily started with one of her weaker albums). As a writer I figure it's additionally difficult for you to listen to music minus knowing what the lyrics are doing. Perhaps you'll go to the trouble of translating. Perhaps some day I will! I've been able to enjoy without understanding the lyrics. I credit my years listening to musically great but lyrically vapid 1960s records. That early course in ignoring the lyrics is serving me very well for foreign language music. I consider this board my secret weapon for finding music to become passionate about. | ||
| Stuart Wilson Member Username: Stuart Post Number: 1144 Registered: 10-2006 |
... and I was led to Dom A by a remark on the Bashung webpage, where, of course, I'd never have ended up without his name being floated across this very message board... which opened up not only that great man's own rich and splendid oeuvre (enough in itself to make me eternally grateful to the contributers here) but also a host of other fascinating figures in inventive modern French rock/pop... (which makes me wonder why Italy seems to be so bereft in that particular area... ) Not to mention a whole lot of other stuff that has had Amazon & Dodax accountants gleefully rubbing their hands... | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 7325 Registered: 05-2005 |
Thank you both, Stuart and Randy. And everyone else here who has led me to great music. Not understanding the lyrics doesn't bother me a jot, which may sound odd I suppose. Sometimes I do ask people who speak the language what lyrics of non-English songs mean (I did that with Blumfeld lyrics when I was in college because there was a German girl in my class), but mostly not. My favourite song of Dominique A's is Immortels, and I don't need to understand the words to feel the emotion and get the gist of it. | ||

For example, Youth Group falls into that classification. While "Swingers" is mostly a collection of DJ mixes, Spanish Amanda may be one of the most lastingly fascinating of the more obscure among these artists. Maybe Hugh knows something about them. They seem to have had just one album ("Brave New Girl") back in 2000 or so and that's it. The vocalist and writer is a mad genius. | ||

| Hugh Nimmo Member Username: Hugh_nimmo Post Number: 838 Registered: 03-2007 |
Randy, Cloudberry Records ( Cloudberry Cake Proselytism Blog ) is the place to go for information on the Spanish Amanda. I have never been able to find any other articles / info on the band or the singer / songwriter ( Huw Bucknell.) You can listen to and download ( MP3s ) of unreleased tracks ( Rallye Sport Album and Swingers EP ) on LastFM. http://www.cloudberryrecords.com/blog/?p =100 http://www.last.fm/search?q=spanish+aman da&from=ac Padraig, Did you receive my e-mail? | ||
| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 3547 Registered: 03-2005 |
Thank you Hugh! I haven't been on Roque's site for a while. I find that when I go on his blog I become so fascinated that I miss appointments and don't accomplish things I'm supposed to do. Talk about mad genius. The Rallye Sport Spanish Amanda tracks I didn't already have are downloaded. Maybe Uwe will eventually release them formally. (He was my source of "Swingers".) | ||
| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 3548 Registered: 03-2005 |
Padraig, I don't remember what I paid for Hey Paulette! If it were really high I'd remember it. I probably got it off discogs.com or maybe it was one of my lucky visits to eBay. Wish I could have that luck with the Passmore Sisters. | ||

The big new additions as artists in my collection are the Lucksmiths and Would-Be-Goods, who I love. Movement Ex is a semi-obscure rap classic from my days when I lived in South LA. I have to be in the right mood for it and I seldom will be but it's a very solid example of its genre. I doubt that I'll get anything else by My Bloody Valentine. They create interesting soundscapes but that's not enough for me. My Favorite generated a funny reaction from Jeff Whiteaker, formerly on this Board, who typed "Boooo!" It turns out they were on the same label as Jeff's band at the time and My Favorite told the label boss that Jeff's band was lousy "so we hated them in kind." | ||

Wow, I wish I'd seen your post much earlier Jean. The signed copies are sold out of course. I've ordered the full set, unsigned. This is a great time for new releases and I have a mass of orders pending, all funded by a huge balance in my Paypal account thanks to an airline ticket refund (don't ask). Besides Francoiz Breut which I received before going on vacation, there are Keren Ann, Mickey 3d (thank you for the news Stuart), the Drones and Flemming Borby. And I have a stack of 80s/90s reissues heading my way including UV Pop, And Also the Trees, Garce Allard (Sad Lovers & Giants) and the Wake. A very fun spring indeed. |
