Don't think words could describe how much I love that band. Probably up there next to sonic youth as life changing bands for me. |

If there isn't a thread about it, we should start one. A certain band from the '80s (not SY) absolutely "destroyed my life" (as John Fahey said about bluegrass music) and I am what I am today because of them... Well, not quite; it was more of a convergence, but you know what I mean. :) |
![]() oofty oofty.....doesn't make sense how they're still this good at putting sounds together so late in the game, nor how they can make such rigid sounds feel so organic/free-forming. stunning. |

Talk about timing - this was posted to Discogs' blog yesterday: How Birmingham Shaped Black Sabbath and Heavy Metal "Birmingham / So much to answer for..." Wait, no, that's Manchester. |
![]() The original tape commands big bucks online, but if you're cool with the official "audiobook" (m4b file, very easily convertible to a different digital format if need be), go to https://www.simonandschuster.net/boo.../9781442390768 (for five bucks, you're stealing it out the door as far as I'm concerned, and no, I do not work for Simon & Schuster). This is one of the coolest, most twisted, funniest, most frightening, and just plain BEST things ever. |

![]() Meh. The sad thing is: There are some legitimately sublime melodic elements to this album that unfortunately never manage to rise above their overblown adult contemporary framework. This album is kitsch-laden, overly exuberant in its wailing romanticism and most of all, overproduced. Too much poppyfication of concepts that would've made for fine Folk songs if stripped down a good bit. |
![]() This is my palette-cleanser and my catharsis. Lovely. |

Have you listened to the albums he made with Kath Bloom in the first half of the '80s? That's some of the most brutal music I can think of. Kath's voice doesn't suggest heartbreak, it is heartbreak; lyrically there's not exactly much in the way of metaphors, as for the most part things are directly laid out; and Connors' role is mainly to provide trebly acoustic stabs. Described like that it sounds like a recipe for awful overemo shit, I know, but it most certainly isn't - it's pure human feelings set to wax, and it can freakin' hurt. Not for everyday listening, yes for a beautiful/painful experience. https://kathbloomlorenconnors.bandcamp.com/ |

Not necessarily the adjective I was going for, come to think of it (makes it sound like an Einstürzende Neubauten record or something). Let's go with... "devastating". |

Jessica Moss, right? She's brilliant, can do quite magical live shows too. |

In fact I haven't. But it sounds intriguing. I'm in the right state of mind for something like that from time to time. Some good emotional heft, if tastefully and genuinely delivered, is absolutely priceless. Thanks. |

By the way, when I put the m4b audiobook file into foobar2000, it automatically split into its 40 constituent tracks, which needless to say was very practical - it must have a cue sheet in its metadata. Now, if you want it as one long file, in any format, that can be arranged as well... :) |

I never got to see these guys live and I regret that. I believe they are on “hiatus“, but who knows? NYCgaf16 has been listening to some classic stuff! |
