quite possibly THE heaviest and brutal album I have ever heard.

Which? Swans or Stooges?

The Fall live at ATP.

Swans

brian jonestown massacre-we are the radio

Sonic Youth - Confusion is Sex
Nada Surf - Let Go
Ani Difranco - Not a Pretty Girl

All really good albums,

Going to check out brian jonestown massacre now.

got it used for $2.50 at Hastings(!).

These I scored on my recent trip to amsterdam:

Einstürzende Neubauten - Kalte Sterne CD
Suicide - S/t 2CD
Throbbing Gristle - Heathen Earth CD
Liars - The other side of mt. Heart Attack CDEP
Melt-Banana - Teeny Shiny CD
Boredoms - Super Roots CD
Diskaholics Anonymious Trio - The weapons of ass destruction LP
Queen Meanie Puss - The beauty of dogs 7" EP
The Terminals - Black Creek / Both Ends Burning 7"

The Horrors debut album. I sort of wanted to give them a chance but it really is absolutely fucking awful.

i bought this just because it was cheap and i'm a completist; i wasn't expecting to enjoy it much.

turns out i love it.

Fuck I want that Silver Sessions...:(

The desperation for rock n thrills that those nme types go through has spawned an unlikely influence for a band:

Went to London so bought records (actually the first was an ebay win about 5 minutes before I left the hose)

Amon Duul - Phallus Dei lp
Shellac - At Action Park lp
Brother Ah - Move Ever Onwards lp
John Cale/Terry Riley - Church of Anthrax lp
Big Black - Il Duce/Big Money 7"
Jesus Lizard - (Fly) On (The Wall)/White Hole 7"
Jesus Lizard - Wheelchair Epidemic/Dancing Naked Ladies 7"
Conceputol - Bulk Fiber/Space Invaders 7"
Raccoo-oo-oon - Cave of Spirits Forever cd
Raccoo-oo-oon - Are Night People cd
Volcano the Bear - Egg and Two Books cd
Sunburned Hand of the Man - Z cd

You must have found at least one good record store then... How was the trip anyway? Any good?
On topic, I was in Amsterdam today as well, even browsed around a couple of stores, but the only thing I bought (apart from tickets for Shellac and Slint) was the PiL Metal Box (CD).

Hey, I didn't know that one was already out yet. In case you've had time to listen to it already, any first impressions you'd like to share?

I love that record.

It's not out yet. It's coming out in April apparently. They had some copies there anyway. I think Keith Wood might have brought them because I paid for it and the guy had to grab a copy from Mr Wood. I listened to it on the bus back and I wasn't all that impressed. Quite noisy for them with some droney stuff later on. I get the impression the first couple of tracks may have been from ATP but I can't be sure. I'll give it more of a listen in due course though, I wouldn't want to judge it on one listen.

Yep, tis a good one. I'd downloaded it previously and had been meaning to pick up a copy of the reissuse LP. It was onl £8 in Sisterray so it would have been rude to not buy it.

I think the last album i bought was the Klaxons album. Its got some really good singles but i dont think it works as an album. It seems rushed. However they are the most interesting mainstream band around at the minute, probably the best popular indie band theres been for a long long time in my eyes. I may have mentioned this before.
