A moment of nostalgia, playing one disc of the Space Ritual a few times, the one that starts with 'Orgone Accumulator' and ends with 'Master of the Universe'

Proper thundering melodic bass, surprisingly subtle in detail. Go, Lemmy! I'm off to get my "eyeballs integrated" and make sure that I bring all bodies to orgasm simultaneously.

Oh yes !

Da da da dah, da da da dah, da da da dah, dah dah dah dah - I am the master of this universe and the wind of time is blowing through me ...

Rilo Kiley - Does He Love You?

https://youtu.be/QWfn2Y7ghWM

A proper grown up song about love, marriage, affairs and children.

Continuing with the Rilo Kiley theme this time Jenny Lewis solo:

With Ryan Adams doing guitar duties for her.

Russian Circles- Memorial. Bloody awesome!

Laura Nyro

She really should be better known. There are a lot of similarities with Carol King but then Laura would switch it up and it had more funk.

Here's something to get you through the last working day of the week. I challenge you not to tap your foot to this and it's recorded in a bike shop !

JD McPherson

Old time rock and roll complete with upright base, saxaphone and telemacaster goodness.

Mogwai.

Slint meets Explosions In The Sky. I do not think I will be ponying up to see them in June.

Shame, greatest band in the world, making me deaf since Young Team! Superb live band too, adds a dimension to the recorded stuff.

In fact I am now listening to Mogwai- Young Team.

They just don't grab my attention in the way that for e.g. EITS do.

Also, it was quicker to use Audacity to cut out that ten minutes of silence from the end of "Secret Pint" than to let it play. Another scalp in my crusade against silence-based ponciness

Listen to some of the other stuff too, Young Team is the classic but their maturing style really comes through as you listen to the albums chronologically.

I am listening to the latest Godspeed YBE on the beautiful black stuff at present. May move on to Russian Circles after.

I am and it does, but not enough to persuade me to fork out my unearned. Yet.

I guess my love for them comes from when young and easily influenced (or under the influence).

Mr Larrington · « **Reply #4665 on:** 26 April, 2015, 06:48:26 pm »

It might have worked if I'd heard them before Slint & EITS rather than the other way round...

Deano · « **Reply #4666 on:** 26 April, 2015, 06:53:22 pm »

They certainly preceded Explosions in the Sky! Slint, not so much.

I've never seen 'em live (yet). Not for want of trying, just the stars haven't aligned correctly.

Always love their version of Sweet Leaf:

EITS are later, mogwai themselves certainly acknowledge the influence that Slint had on them. The Post Rock genre is certainly a broad church including many things.

If you like it a little more electronic (eg Mogwai's most recent stuff) then I can highly recommend the Errors and Fuck Buttons (awful name but great music).

Slint broke up about five or six years before Mogwai Young Team was released, but I didn't hear them until ~2004. Saw the reformed version in 2005 at the Forum in Kentish Town and jolly splendid it was too, although I think the drummer was pretending to be asleep for the first three numbers.

EITS' first album dates from 2000, so well after.

Edit: I keep missing whatever A Silver Mount Zion are calling themselves this week for much the same reason as Deano chiz.

I find the whole Godspeed YBE and the subsidiaries quite confusing. The music is often great but sometimes it can be rather impenetrable. It would make a great episode of Rock Family Trees though!

I blame hearing the Constellation Records sampler "Song Of The Silent Land" at an impressionable age (40).

First couple of listens to the new GY!BE album today & it's a big

- although I think I prefer the previous album.

On a similar feel the latest This Will Destroy You album - Another Language - is pretty decent too

Will see if it is on Napster when I do some mindless drone computer work later, thanks!
