Oh, alright. Thanks. I'll probably post 04's "Perpetuum" Mobile then.

Steve V. here's Gerogerigegege's "Sexual Behavior In the Human Male". It's a good one. These guys are a talented bunch when they choose to be.

Hi everyone, not sure if this is the right place to post this, i'm totally new but...

Can anyone recommend some good bands / albums to download and buy. I'm into Shellac, Jesus Lizard, Scratch Acid, Slint, Fugazi etc, but don't really know the more obscure stuff that you guys do and would like to start somewhere. Thanks ! :)

Go back a few pages and download Colony of Watts. It's a quick download. Judging by that list, you should love it.

I think this forum is alternately bringing out the best and the worst in me. It's creeping me the fuck out. I'm going to atone for my sins tonight on this thread...I'd do the mixtape thread...but I just can't seem to put together a beautiful mix like I used to. The stuff I wanna tie together is just too strange...and no amount of frog calls or Ken Nordine tracks is rectifying the "cohesive" issue. Between work and idiotic promoters...I've just been snapping on you guys.

Of course...watching you speak with authority on the Beatles without the slightest clue as to their inner-workings on other threads was a bit maddening...my inner geek needs to be anesthetized.

...see you tonight.

First of all, Skronk...I was uploading an enormous file that I'm pretty sure you'd shit yourself over...but my internet got ruined towards the end of the upload...so it will be 10 instead of 11 records tonight...but I'll upload the son of a bitch eventually..."load up" on Depends, because you never know when I'll do it. JamLifeIntoDeath was upset with me for riding you so hard...and his vote of confidence should mean something...seeing as he's my sometime conscience and favorite person ever.

I've never joined any kind of message board before...so I've been finding myself falling into the trap of being a mean prick occasionally...I think forums typically lead to that kind of stuff. In real life, I call people out on their bullshit all the time, but in a forum...that stuff just gets really messy...so I'm torn on how to behave. I'm definitely not Alex Maiolo, but I'm not Marsupialized either.

I think the lesson here is simple: do NOT fuck with bus bus ever again. Anyone. Everyone. (I laugh).

I think I'm gonna lay off this board (posting-wise)...but I find myself inexplicably drawn to it every goddamn day. I thought I'd be posting less since all my good friends are around, but downtime at work has me posting even more. I'm always interested to see what people such as Albini and Midgett...as well as Boombats and Marsupialized have to say (the list of interesting posters goes on and on...). It's strange to me how addictive Electrical became...the sendspace thread is what really got me into this site.

I didn't post too much at all at first...and all the people that post a ton weren't around for like 3 or 4 months after I started. What a long strange trip it's been...

AND NOW FOR BEING NICE...like REALLY nice:

"Wash me of my sins, O Lord."


1 )) This is a spectacular listen...fans of the T&G aesthetic might really get into this. The violin player I play with takes most of her "rock" ideas from this album...and a little bit from Nastasia's set at "Peel Acres"...but it's mostly this stuff. The great John McLaughlin plays in this group. Really, really phenomenal stuff...and a quick download to boot (36MB)! What a band...and the record's dry sound really does it for me:

Mahavishnu Orchestra - Birds of Fire

2 )) This next album is a breezy, beautiful listen. It's a 1972 album from Brazil...I guess it bears some similarities to Os Mutantes, but it's a lot more simple than that. It's definitely good for a vacation...I can picture myself in a fast car with the top down...feeling extremely cultured and tooling around in a Ferrari like Magnum, p.i. This album really gets me thinking about how much I like classical guitars:

Milton Nascimento & Lô Borges - Clube Da Esquina

http://www.sendspace.com/file/lv3y3z


3 )) I know you all know the Residents. All I can say about this album is that it's almost literally a world away from Clube Da Esquina...and that it's fucked up.

The Residents - Eskimo

4 )) Here's one for Steve V...yet another excellent new band...a former bandmate watched these guys light their fucking cymbals on fire in a boat house in Green Bay for a 6 person crowd or something. I've heard rumors on this very site that Corey Rusk has considered signing them to Touch and Go but that is probably complete bullshit. This might be a real album of theirs...with you know...a title?...but all I've ever known it as is "Summer '05 Tour CD." They're from Missouri. Perhaps they're addicted to meth:

Warhammer 48K - "Summer '05 Tour CD"

5 )) This album is a mindblower...but it's also good for going to sleep. The strings might seem pretty normal for a while...but this album takes some bizarre fucking turns for the crazy...like left of crazy. I've loved it for a couple years now I guess...albums like this get Slim Moon fired from Nonesuch...with a little help from the Kronos Quartet:

Terry Riley - Requiem for Adam
Image

http://www.sendspace.com/file/73y9uf


6 )) My favorite jazz person of all time? Thelonious Monk. I sorta see him as the Kurt Cobain and/or Captain Beefheart of jazz (depending on how you look at it). Here's a passage from a spectacular jazz book, Giant Steps:

Okay. Fuck. I can't find my fucking copy of Giant Steps. I just looked around my room for like half an hour. I'm pissed.

Well...to half paraphrase and half plagiarize...while Monk may not have possessed the burning spiritual intensity and chops of a musician like Coltrane...nor the constant need to reinvent himself and evolve like Miles...what Monk did possess was a unique, singular vision that set him apart from his contemporaries and from the annals of jazz history.

The book puts it in a much more profound light...really...seriously...fucking aye, I love that book, I'm seriously pissed that I can't find it.

For all of Thelonious' ham-fisted and "crude" playing...he was his own man...and was the rare jazz composer as opposed to simply being a jazz musician...he'd recycle ideas over and over...this gave him his own sound. I think that Coltrane once said that Monk taught/explained to 'Trane new ways to play his horn without Monk even knowing how to play it. Coltrane was equally baffled by Monk's genuinely eccentric genius.

Monk also loved marijuana...and was once arrested in an airport for wearing his trademark fez hat, outstretching his arms and slowly spinning in circles until the cops took him away. Or something.

If you like this album, you must get Brilliant Corners, too.

Kill Whitey:

7 )) I could put up the entire anthology, but I only chose to upload Disc 4 of this collection..."Dakota." These rare (and expensive) tapes capture John Lennon in the very last stage of his life. It's kinda nice...because while it's fuckin' haunting and seemingly prophetic...it's also not all glossy and '80s-ed out like Double Fantasy. If this man had survived the '80s, his output would have been at least temporarily dreadful if DF was any indication. It makes me sick to think that someone would shoot this man...John Lennon is a huge hero of mine...the man had fucking balls...real courage...a real artist. You should hear this stuff if you haven't. It's a very strange listen:

John Lennon - John Lennon Anthology [Disc 4], "Dakota"

8 )) I listened to this EP all the time last winter. It will seriously kick your ass from start to finish. The actual version of it comes on a piece of wood designed by our friend Todd. I wouldn't upload this, but it seems kinda harmless now that the first Houndrunner LP Children, Little Fits was released in May ( http://www.sectorfiverecords.com ). The band was made up of one member of the Hat Party, and two members of Colony of Watts.

One time I asked Chad before a Houndrunner set, "[A]re you gonna play the song about big tits?...you know, Sebastian?" He said, "[T]he lyric is actually 'we've got virgins.' But it's always good to have big tits, too." Spoken like a true prodigy.

Here's a none too flattering picutre of me with Houndrunner. I had extremely long hair at this show...we all played that night...it was extremely fun. Please note the massive pimple on Chad's forehead...I've never seen him with any zits other than this one. How unfortunate.

9 )) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2-5GSjZvW8

For this album, I think that the YouTube clip posted above should be sufficient for getting my point across:

Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

10 )) For my final trick, here is some fucked up, repugnant shit. After attempting to single-handedly ruin rock and roll in the '50s and early '60s, somehow Pat Boone managed to ruin what was already ruined: hair metal.

If you dare:

Pat Boone - In a Metal Mood

I wish I was a more simple man...but unfortunately, I'm very complicated. I hope these records will wash away any past sins...except for Boone. I should go all out Opus Dei for that one.
