A few goodies I don't think I saw mentioned. Cosmic Psychos: Blokes You Can Trust Very fun and engaging story of Aussie punk rock heroes starting from the earliest days to the present. I knew absolutely nothing about this band before watching it but, like all the best docos, you really don't need to...

4) noise heads looking down for performers with a laptop I sort of feel as though this prejudice has changed a lot between now and when I first became aware of it. I wonder if the ubiquity/relative affordability of laptops and software has changed a lot about how laptops can be used for noise and t...

i hate it when performers sit down for their set like they are at the dinner table or typing a school paper its like you can't be arsed to stand for eight minutes, come on Haha, fair enough. It's a strange peeve but hey, that's what this thread is for. I am mostly a sitter though some performances ...

and the cover of Tokyo Anal Dynamite Singles fucking sucks, it's horrendous and not even in a funny way.

What happened to "art is over"?

It came back and ended again especially for that cover. It is really horrible.

Just realized that there are multiple documentaries on Youtube about the amazing Wesley Willis. I’d only seen one of them, The Daddy of Rock’n’Roll, before. I totally lost it during a scene when Willis is at a photocopy shop, printing out the lyrics to his song SUCK A CAMEL’S DICK. When it doesn’t ...

Cool to see the clips and interviews. I only realised recently that Vincent Dallas was Dries of Kindvriendelijk. Nice to see him doing stuff and getting it out there. I'm guessing the last time I saw him was at Broken Flag Festival in london years back now! Hello, Duncan!! Damn, Broken Flag..what a...

Any love for Samla Mammas Manna and related bands here? I only have Familjesprickor which is pretty great and feel I should get more. I do sometimes tire of their whole 'carnival music' thing and a few of the organ/synth timbres they frequently use grate. Nonetheless they have long felt like a band ...

Disappointing to hear, but that first LP came out at a time when I was so heavy into discovering a lot of prog stuff I’d ignored as I was too punk and it was just such a breath of fresh air. I’m listening to the LP now and still sounds good to me. I recall not liking the second LP as much and I see...

Steven Stapleton has of course mentioned this, and many of the Japanese innovators have also been very vocal about their love of prog/kraut rock etc. Noisextra even did an episode about the Tangerine Dream album Zeit because so many Japanese artists mentioned it as an influence.  Yes, good point. T...

the darker stuff like Van der Graaf Generator VDGG are still a bit 'to do' for me. My dad loves them and would play Pawn Hearts often and even got me a cd copy of it when I was a teenager which I still have and listen to quite a bit. But beyond that I don't think I have ever meaningfully listened t...

It can't just be me and T.D. who go in for this stuff...c'mon, reveal yourself and don't be ashamed. I've lately been diving deep into a lot of French stuff which has caused me to visit a lot of Magma albums I'd not heard before. Despite being a fan I always put them on the back burner a bit, reason...

This BBC thing about the history of COUM transmissions was a lot better than I thought it would be. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0012950 Really cool to see and hear so much from the early actors in the whole TG/Industrial story.

There were lots of ways in sonically - a base layer of being really into extreme metal but also lots of interest in IDM, digital hardcore, Neubauten (later period!), Beefheart, VU, The Residents and a general appreciation for eclectic, unusual music. At no point upon discovering some mind altering, ...

Yeah, weirdly enough missing out on a release had never made me cry

Even the 10 CD box set, while being quite an endeavour to sit through, is valid as an art object. There are so many other recent tapes and releases that I'm interested in hearing, but I doubt it will be possible to get my hands on them. The more I read about this box set, the more I wished I got a ...

Is it time to discuss the greatest band ever now? I recently got Tokyo Anal Dynamite Singles and took it for a spin a couple of days ago. Whilst the big draw for me was the previously unreleased and rare stuff, I have to say that by the time I’d rattled through Yellow Trash Bazooka, All You Need Is ...

I was browsing youtube for this topic and stumbled on to a christian noise document. "Christian Noise. Armor Of God" etc. I know noise is spread out and everyone has access to it but still I never thought to find christian themed noise. Wonder if he ever plays in sunday churches. Oh god. ...

Do you have a preference when it comes to the main focal point of a recording? Piano, trumpet, saxophone? For me its the two former instruments over the latter that get me the most excited. This ultimately depends on the arrangement of the band. I'd not relegate myself to only listening to specific...

Try ‘Lanquidity’ for that. Slick, mellow and gorgeous.

Seymour Glass & Ali Robertson Donut Oil (Chocolate Monk 2021) The whole thing is prime greasy scatter, but the centrepiece is clearly 'Pilgrimage To Fud Mecca'. Yes! I have this but may not have ever listened to it. Remember nothing about it if I did so today will be the day. Ah man It's so gre...

I've now got Mik Quantius - Mik Mich (Het Generiek, 2021) on the go after delaying for weeks to give it a try. I've seen Quantius live once and enjoyed the spectacle - lunatic, acid fucked former metal/krautrock guy playing a massive casio keyboard with his feet and singing incomprehensible improvis...

It's total speculation but it could be that Hospital ships enough on a monthly basis to qualify for a level of custom with a shipping service that would lead to significantly reduced costs. If they're doing things above board as a proper business, which I suspect is the case, there are ways into tha...
