tongue_tied_danny Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I'm rocking out to CSS' debut album right now. Annoying, I used to have the Brazilian release but I lent it to a mate and never got it back so I had to replace it with a copy of the international release, which has fewer songs and isn't as good. I saw CSS live at the Liquid Rooms in Edinburgh around the time of its release. A cracking gig and a fairly memorable trip. I managed to get a hand job from some rough stripper in the pubic triangle and I later got so drunk that I pished the bed in my hotel room. I phoned in sick for work the next couple of days and flew over to Bremen on a cheap Ryanair flight for some drinking and sightseeing. I really struggled to retain my composure whilst lying through my teeth at my back to work interview. Obviously that was around 15 years ago. I would never behave in such a debauched manner now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stunning band @Moonglum25's youtube link doesn't work anymore so I don't know which album it was but the Hawkwind Album I keep going back to it "Live Chronicles" Other Live albums from Hawkwind tours like "space ritual" tend to be sprawling and messy and jammed out which might be great when you're there at the time but don't stand up to repeated listening so well. The chronicles of the black sword tour was a big Michael Moorcock narrated concept album production number so everything is a bit more tight and focussed (albeit by Psychedelic space hippy standards) but still "live" enough to eclipse the studio version. And as concepts go there have been albums made about far stupider ones. In the wake of Game of Thrones & Peter Jackson's Tolkien movies it's probably about time they toured this album again with modern production values 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Listening again to Gary Wilson's creepy ass masterpiece "You Think You Really Know Me" from 1977. 34 minutes that suggest he has a mounting body count in his cellar. Truly one of the great outsider records and unlike anything else ever. From it this is the utterly deranged "6.4 = Make Out". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimi Shandrix Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 "Reachin" by Arcesia is a long lost privately pressed masterpiece. John Arcesi was a crooner who had a moderate singing career in the late 40's/early 50's. He re-emerged in 1972, aged 65, discovered LSD and teamed up with a band of young musicians influenced by the likes of Love and The Doors. It did not garner much praise. Personally, I think it is fucking fantastic. This is my favourite track from it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris McDonald Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 On Spotify I've recently ventured into some classic thin lizzy and the last couple of days or so I've had a lot of the self titled Skid Row album on (If anybody remembers them/) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It often forgotten that he brought out a couple of albums in his own name. Duck Rock was released in 1983 and is an interesting mash up of early hip hop and world music. Pretty decent. Is that where they are skipping ? Also managed the mighty New York Dolls Also might have " managed " Bow Wow Wow Edited February 11, 2021 by ewan14 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Marquee Moon by Television (1977)At its best it combines the attitude and rawness of the 1977 punk scene with the creative ambition of what was going on in Jazz Rock fusion At its worst it gets that the wrong way round 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimi Shandrix Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I was really into the alt-country scene that blew up in the late 90's. I still have a lot of those records and pop them on from time to time. Have to say there's not many of them get me too excited today. Still love the first two Son Volt albums, "Strangers Almanac" by Whiskeytown, a bit of Lambchop. Calexico were a band I was really into. The low-fi debut "Spoke" was a big favourite, but the one I have been listening to is "Hot Rail" from 2000. It's been a while. Still sounds good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 "Pygmalion" by Slowdive is a fantastic listen. Easily their best album. Released by Creation in 1995 when Mcgee was on his cocaine fuelled Oasis train. This was never going to get a look in. Has more in common with the likes of Seefeel and Flying Saucer Attack. It reached the lofty heights of number 108 in the UK album charts. This record still gets a regular airing in the Shandrix household. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
