Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine

I can't believe this album was released 20 years ago.

You're making me feel old- first heard it in '91! Classic........

I have just discovered The Wave Pictures... and their new album, Instant Coffee Baby is excellent. It reminds me a little of Violent Femmes, Beat Happening and a little bit of Clap Your Hands, Say Yeah. Acerbic, observational, funny-sad songs of slacker lo-fi love.

Incidentally, this is what record shops are for - if I hadn't happened to have heard them in RPM in Newcastle, I never would have thought of buying this record. Facebook, MySpace etc. just keep you in a comfort zone...

I used to love RPM records. Good to hear it's still there.

Current listening is Bwyd Time by Gorky's Zygotic Mynci.

Shinedown - The Sound Of Madness

Quisling · « **Reply #713 on:** 24 May, 2009, 11:18:29 pm »

Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds. I haven't heard that in 20 years or more.

Oooolaaaah!!!

RPM certainly still exists, but it has moved somewhere that you would never find by accident now... it is off High Bridge Street in Old George Yard opposite Attica, which may well be the coolest vintage clothing shop in the country.

Prompted by a conversation at work last week, I'm playing the entire Furniture back catalogue.

Gosh.

Modern music really is shite, isn't it? There's just no-one around who can do stuff like that any more.

I don't understand people who say this. There is a greater variety of more interesting and adventurous music around now than ever before, and you have more ways of accessing it - maybe not in 'the charts' or in the mainstream but when was that ever the case? At the same time, the back catalogue of the entire musical history of the world is also more accessible than ever.

You've never had it so good!

All I hear is warmed-up 60s/70s pop being hailed as cutting edge, and formulaic ballad pap like the stuff from The X-Factor

Maybe you should stop listening to Radio 1 then! There's a whole world of music out there, and it only takes a minimal effort to find new things...

You're just mature, thats all. Seeking novelty is a juvenile characteristic, it's your place to judge everything in the light of what you already know. Accept your destiny, and revel in your liberation from the tyranny of the new.
We are living in a golden age, you can't go wrong with Radcliffe and Maconie and the stuff on BBC4.
But Furniture though? You must be out of your brilliant mind.

The new Simple Minds album - Graffiti Soul. They lost it somewhere around Sparkle in the Rain. I don't think they've found it again yet. $:-\$

Passion - Peter Gabriel.

Through the wonder of the æther, I is listening to the last matches of the French football season. All to play for- the title, European places, relegation. C'est l'heure du cul grinçant.
