comparing Sebadoh to Pavement is like comparing Sonic Youth to Pearl Jam; same timeframe, often lumped into the rock/independent/ weirdo genre... when they're not really similar in the slightest. I still dig Slanted n enchanted, to this day; but that's it. They did nothing of interest after that, no...

I've been watching movies on Kanopy. It's through the library system so you sign up with your library card. They have a massive and bizarre catalog that runs the gamut of B-movies, documentaries, erotica but also award circuit art house films, classic European and Asian Criterion type stuff, and cl...

i thought a hurdy gurdy was nuts,but these are in a different league

i read that Messer Cups are playing in New Cross in November- although maybe Russian sanctions have blown it out. Thinkin of going

'Ear Bleedin' Country'- but it's not on the list! Of their proper releases, fossils is the one. Like most folks, I consider the first 4 decent with some crap songs . Oddly I don't think they've aged musically very well; more that they were peaking during my favourite period (89-96) when we were spoi...

benadrian- the way I see it, you've tried lots of set-ups and still haven't found the perfect usabilty/sick tone /phase etc. If i were you, try either two combos which are identical (then your pedals will determine the vol/phase/spatial field you want) and ffs, put each amp a few feet apart. Also, I...

i love them and hate to hear Depeche mode in the same sentence.... now they really are awful. But Soft Cell were great; patchy, yeah but their good tracks still sound wonderful And they pretty much introduced Ecstasy to the UK which ain't bad

I normally give up on series too soon-but 'The Days' had me completely stoked. Japanese technicians and politicians trying to deal with the Fujushima disaster. Not only did I learn a lot, it's not often you see engineers as the stars/heroes of the show. Awesome, frightening- I was hooked

tape decks- a Sony TCK (the one with Dolby S has the most functions ever and it will FF a C90in about 5 seconds; and it has a pich control and looks good). Or a TEAC / interview recorder. Marantz also, dbx ones are most likely all fucked up by now so watch out but worth a look. CD players- the Tasca...
