Totally returning to my 80's listening habits!! Went out and bought Nuggets CD box set + Box of Trash. Can't get enough of those one-chord geetar solos and crazed hollerin'. I blame the re-emergence of punk/garage thing, causing me to get all misty-eyed...

"And are DrowningMan as good as they're cracked up to be?"

No, they suck. However, if you dig heavy music, especially that Revealtion stuff, go try Shai Hulud or Will Haven. Neurosis is one of my favourites as well. And good lord if you buy/burn one album this year make most sure its Hatebreed - Perseverance as its one of the most brutally crushing albums I've ever heard in my entire life.

Oh my fuck.

Still going through a long drawn-out David Byrne phase... "Look Into The Eyeball" is such a cool album.

(And, by cool, I mean totally sweet).

The Weird War album. I worship at the altar of Ian Svenonius. Now with added Neil Hagerty! It sounds exactly like you'd expect - Make-Up vs Royal Trux - only better. Rocknrollrocknroll.

My new discovery, which I am beavering away at like a water-dwelling rodent with large teeth is...

YARDCORE

This is easily the best genre name ever.

Yardcore is basically UK garage with a strong Jamaican influence. The term appears to have been kickstarted when Elephant Man (huge ragga star) asked london-based Horsepower Productions to remix his big hit "Log On".

Yardcore tunes have ragga-style mcing, hyuuuuge basslines and an aggressive, 'street' feel.

Many criticise the style for leading garage into the same 'dark' hole that jungle fell into around '98 or so, but fuck 'em. They're right, but fuck 'em. For now it's dirty, evil, ruff and sends little frissons down your spine.

Search: Sticky feat Ms Dynamite "Boo", London Dodgers "Down down bizness", Horsepower Productions "Log on remix"
 
 
The Return Of Rothkoid

At the moment, I can't stop listening to Naked City's live disc, the one from The Knitting Factory, in 1989. It's amazing. I never knew Bill Frisell had that kinda stuff in him. Mix of thrash and swingin' ambience... it's very, very hard to take off. And you get a couple of fifteen-second songs, too...

Two very different ladies are obsessing me at the moment

. Anita O'Day - the link between swing and bebop

. Happy Rhodes - incredible how litle is this excellent artist known out there. Think a singer with the vocal extension of Kate Bush _and_ Annie Lenox, singing her own acoustic/electronic stuff. Great great great (yes, I'm obsessing).

Monster goddamned Magnet. Pulled out my copy of Dopes To Infinity and have discovered that pretty much nothing tops their all-tube, all-acid, all-good stompathons. They're more rawk than I can handle, frankly. Dave Wyndorf is a genius.

Been reviving BEAT HAPPENING lately: I wore out my cassette of Dreamy and got a copy of the (out of print) CD on e-bay, but have been waiting for 3 weeks for t to show up. I love playing guitar along with beat happening because (ahem) I can.

Also AMERICAN MUSIC CLUB and MARK EITZEL. Other early 90s faves have made an obsessive comeback round mine. I used to think AMC fit my collegiate depression so well that I never noticed how much humor there was on those CDs.
