The Gun Club and the Soledad Brothers. Rowdy white boy blues.

Ashes and Fire - Ryan Adams

Latest album. On the whole very good if a bit patchy as all of his stuff is (he writes a lot of songs !)
This one contains one of his best love songs "I love you but I don't know what to say":

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/8IUPrTgwiak&rel=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/8IUPrTgwiak&rel=1</a>

We belong here, we belong here
Ain’t nobody that can tell us we’re wrong
Help me say, say this to you
I’ll stand by your side, to see you through

I promise you that I’ll keep you safe from harm
I’ll love you all the rest of my days
When the night is silent and we seem so far away
Oh I love you but I don’t know what to say

I was lost, I was lost
Tried to find the balance, got caught up in the cost
Let it go, when I met you
All the clouds parted, all that light came shining through

I promise you I will keep you safe from harm
And love you all the rest of my days
When the night is silent and we seem so far away
Oh I love you and I don’t know what to say

I promise you that I will keep you safe from harm
And love you all the rest of my days
When the night is silent and we seem so far away
Oh I love you and I don’t know what to say
Oh I love you and I don’t know what to say

Kareem: NOCTOCROMÄS

The Boomkat review:

"...Kareem has deemed the time right to unleash his darkest material yet 'Noctocromas'. Puffed full of caliginous aural clouds, 'Noctocromas' can at first seem wilfully unpenetratable as the first two tracks ('Doom' and 'HaCks 1') blur past in a steely mask of electronic drone. Just when you're thinking it's a beatless headmash throughout, 'HaCks 3' introduces a heartbeat rhythm of soulless depth that drags you in to the aural tar ever deeper, with the violent pounding remorselessly drilling you against the wall. Bleeding into one another, the individual pieces soon become one turbulent beast, as the granite beats begin to take their toll on the surrounding structures. Very dark and awfully proud of it."

And pretty spot-on it is too. It's like an alternative soundtrack to Alien. A release made for listening to on headphones.

Just had Music from Big Pink, now simply The Band

Deepchord - "Hash Bar Loops"

Massively chilled-out dub techno - sounds like The Orb on valium

Ozric Tentacles - Paper Monkeys.

FirstBorn (8 ): "Funky space rock!" Not wrong

Personally, I think their last couple of albums have been utter crap - was listening to "Strangeitude" on the way in to work, though

Another iPod mix, this time, so far, I have had Metallica (Enter Sandman), Uncle Kracker (Follow Me), Placebo (Follow The Cops Back Home), Stevesick Steve (Ain't My Dog), Stereophonics (A Thousand Trees) and it has just moved onto The Godfathers (Someone Like You).

Ozric Tentacles - There Is Nothing

"Thrashing Breath Texture" has to be the best track name in the history of history itself

tiermat · « **Reply #2989 on:** 23 April, 2012, 02:09:53 pm »

Moved onto a Mackem vibe now, 3 Colours Red, Ginger and Dogs D'Amour (maybe this should be in the pop quiz thread, or is it too easy?

)

Shifted - Crossed Paths

Dark, disturbing, minimal, Berlin-influenced techno at it's very best.

His identity is a mystery - apparently someone who's been around a while, but not in electronic music possibly.

Tracks like Leather are rather brilliant if you're into sparse 4/4.

pcolbeck · « **Reply #2991 on:** 23 April, 2012, 04:56:52 pm »

White Stripes - Icky Thump. Only one track I dont like.

Deano · « **Reply #2992 on:** 23 April, 2012, 05:29:45 pm »

It's a great album. I think my favourite track is Conquest, just cos it's so preposterous.

What's the track you don't like?

Just listened to more tracks on YouTube from the upcoming album - very good

Prickly Thorn, But Sweetly Worn

My favourite is 300 M.P.H. Torrential Outpour Blues.

Fair enough. I really like the folksiness of Prickly Thorn.

Today, Amerasia by Terry Allen.

Now, Among My Swan by Mazzy Star *swoons*

Riggers · « **Reply #2996 on:** 26 April, 2012, 04:37:55 pm »

I had to 'Google' Mazzy Star. And I can see why you would too. Oo-er missus.

Deano · « **Reply #2997 on:** 26 April, 2012, 04:41:32 pm »

It's all about the music, Riggers.

Riggers · « **Reply #2998 on:** 26 April, 2012, 04:50:51 pm »

… and Mazzy Star.

Went to see the Civil Wars a few week's ago. Very nice close harmony.

And sniffing the vinyl.
