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". |
