Good to hear it, Sir!

I think I may have to explore further, certainly. The EP I bought is pure gold, I tells you...

Furthermore, it turns out that the Bright Eyes album I bought is chuffing amazing! I'm on a roll, kids...

Frail

Scary Bitches - Piss All Over Your Grave

If anyone has heard of them, come down to London and I'll buy you a drink. Really. More people should know about them.

I hope you die young
I hope you die in pain
I hope you die alone in the pouring rain
I hope you die cold and empty inside
Send you to hell on the other side

I hope you die young
I hope you die in pain
I hope you die alone and half insane
And I hope that I'm still alive
So I can dance and sing and piss all over your grave

Oh yes.

can't hold us down - christina aguilera

Been listening to a CD Aries made for me out of a much bigger CD of random music....lots of Portishead, Boards of Canada, Of Montreal, some VAST, Muì, ummm.....Autechre.....

bright eyes...how unexpectedly emo of you, inky

me...i'm stuck in the "never-ending darkness/sfa look of infinite doom"...or i would be, if those albums weren't so great...

also, the new single by the libertines, "don't look back into the sun"...better then all of their other songs put together...

Verdi - Requiem Mass Dies Irae

And I love it.

The Who- Can't explain

But I'm about to put on Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones

that is one of the better Requiems.. pain to sing though.. especially for tenors

Red hot chilly peppers - give it away

The cure - pornography

DJ Shadow "The Private Press"

I <3 Six Days. It's so freakin good.

Oooh, depressing.

I've just bought me Bauhaus - The Sky's Gone out, so that's playing too loud.

MEh. I downloaded a few Bright Eyes songs. They're a bit like popcorn. You forget about them as soon as they're done. Actually I forgot one was playing while it was playing. Then there was a silence and I thought "Oh. The song is over....um...when did it end?"

That's how much impression Bright Eyes left on me. Ah well. suppose it's just not me.

Goddess, I would DIE to have made a second copy of that CD I made for you. True musical brilliance if ever I had it!

Meanwhile, I'm in kind of an electro funky mood. Something like Kylie Minogue or Funkstar De Luxe. Basically I want to shake it, I want to look good when I shake it, and I want some pepper to be shaking it with me, ya dig?

I'm allowed to have levels, cheeky...

And, no, Jaq, they're not for everyone. Just people who have musical taste...

Anywho, I've been listening to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds tonight - namely 'No More Shall We Part', which I grabbed for a fiver from the luvverly Music Zone.

Quality in albumage, it is.

Later, I may change over to NCatBS's 'From Her To Eternity', or, if I don't fancy slitting my wrists, some Pavement. Hurrah for options!

Oh man the Bad Seeds rule so much. Saw 'em live not long ago, bloody brilliant they were. Actually, I think I'll stick on Do You Love Me? Now that is quality music. Oh yes.

They had a shedload of their albums for £5 a pop in Music Zone, so I relieved them of a couple...

Always meant to get into them - I adore Cave's voice. Got any reccommendations for future BS purchases?

There's a Best Of I'd strongly recommend, and his new album Nocturama is pretty damn good, a fair bit heavier than most any of his other stuff. It also has the wonderful Babe, I'm On Fire, which is a fifteen-minute long rant, and he deserves major props for including the words "menstruating Jewess", and for rhyming "laughing hyena" with "homesick Polish cleaner" on it.

King Crimson - The Court of the Crimson King
*hugs headphones*

Coincidentially,

King Crimson - Night Watch

*pokes lack of a thumbs up smilie*

Manic street preachers - 4st 7lb
(My sister's got a lot worse lately and she's about that weight now)

Half man Half Bicuit - bob Wilson, anchorman

Interesting... HMHB fans creeping out of the woodwork now...

I've got the ol' Bright Eyes on again. I suppose I've been a tad emo recently... Still, I plan to remedy that later with some Calexico. Mebbe some more Pavement.

Oh, who am I kidding? I'll end up listening to this album again, watching the bleak hillsides whistle past the train window like so many lost weeks...

blurry - puddle of mudd

The Sisterhood - Gift.

Two. Five. Zero. Zero. Zero. JIHAD!

smooth criminal - AAF

Oh WOW!!!! Someone else who has that album!!!!

Commie, have I told ya how much I love ya lately?

Continue to do so. It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. Like a shot of vodka on a cold day.
Brings me one step closer to completing my Official Sisters Collection (I still haven't bought Vision Thing or Wake yet).

Wake!! Gah!!! I knew I'd missed one somewhere! Me sisters collection is a mix of vinyl and CD at the mo... and I never got round to buyin "...Overbombing" cos it was jus too, y'know... lashed together from other stuff.

Decided to whack on "Back in the DHSS"...

What did God give us Neil?
God gave us life, Nigel.
Sure did!!

A Slight Case... was the first one I bought, got me into the Sisters. I quite fancy hunting down some of the live bootlegs, since they are pretty damn hot on stage.

Ah, now "Lucretia My Reflection" was the first one o theirs I heard, so I went out an got "Floodlands", which was pretty good... I understand they were great live, but I never got to see 'em, sadly. Tell ya what, though, if I remember next time in Manchester I'll go have a mosey round Afflecks Palace an see if they have one in there. (I got a Cure acoustic bootleg there once...) If I manage, I'll cut ya a CD or summat.

That'd be lovely of you. You should go see 'em, I saw them in April at the Forum, great stuff. They'll be around next year, Happy Andy has to tour every year or he might run out of money, forcing him to - shock! horror! - make another album.

LMAO!!!!

Happy Andy... now I've heard everythin!!!

Is he still wearin those silly 80s flight shades or has he been to Specsavers?

Couldn't say, mate. Couldn't swear to it actually being him, come to that. They're staying true to the Sisters policy of using so much f--king dry ice I could barely make out that there was actually a band playing. He's still blond, with the good old must-look-as-un-goth-as-possible-to-try-and-hide-the-fact-that-the-Sisters-are-goth-and-cover-up-Patricia-Morrison-being-in-my-band look. They played Lucretia, and a bunch of other classics - Temple of Love, Vision Thing and Marian all put in an appearance. Despite the wankerage of Eldritch himself, it's still a top show and I'll be going again.

Yanno, it makes me laugh that Andy almost wasn't in the band after they replaced his dubious drumming skills with a machine!

I wish he'd just grow up about the goth thing, though... I mean, when was he big? 1987. What else was big then? Goth. Where do they get played these days? Goth clubs! Who do other goth bands like Clan of Xymox use as an influence?? Yep, the Sisters. Honestly, the only person he's tryin to kid is himself. Marian and Lucretia are goth classics, for heavens sake! Gaaaahhhh!!!!!

Oh, back on topic.... "Back Again in the DHSS" is on now...

Plus the whole Floodland album is IMO the gothest thing to come out of the 80s.

Oh yeah. The topic. Forgot about that. Bauhaus - Burning from the Inside (the album) playing at the mo'.

But of course!! No self-respectin 80's goth is without that particular chestnut!

See yer stayin with the goth theme there, too. Me? I've moved on from the abject Scouse silliness of HMHB, and onto the more introspective shoegazey Leeds noise of the Wedding Present - "George Best". Some of their finest work, and some of the Gedgemeisters best (and funniest) lyrics.

And I've moved from goth to...not sure what you'd call this, actually. Morning After Pill, by Meanwhile, Back In Communist Russia. Bloody weird band this.

They sound it...

And I've headed gothward in the meantime... The Mission - "Carved in Sand"

Genitoturers - Stitch in time

evanescence- My last breath...
good charlotte- hold on ( my theme song!)

And now onto weird ethereal shoegazey sorts, My Bloody Valentine - "Loveless". It's a beltin album, sort of Lush meets the Cocteau Twins...

I appear to have rediscovered my old vinyl collection today! Now we're on The The - "Soul Mining". A damn fine album!

Listening to every damn remix and cover of Sympathy for the Devil I can find.
