FAT WHITE FAMILY
Serf’s Up!
2019 UK pressing
Gold vinyl

Oh man.
Such a great band.
And in my head, this one is their true masterwork.

Swaggering disco punk covered in grime and sugar. Incredibly groovy, and yet still rife with chaos.

“Tastes Good With The Money” is fucking incredible and is an absolute banger.
As is the opener “Feet”.

The world needs another Fat White Family album.
However, if all we have is all we get, I’d be ok with that.

Incredible records.

GNOOMES
Ax Ox
2023 UK pressing
Purple vinyl

A damn fine #electronic Kraut-ish record that leans further away from their earlier #psych records.

This is much colder, synthesized, and #shoegaze -y sounding; birthed from the band’s experiences with the pandemic, depression, mental illness, and being in Russia whilst dealing with the Ukraine invasion and its fallout.

It’s incredibly euphoric sounding. Perfect for “in transit” soundtrack and tense physical movement.

A great album, and one that I missed upon its initial release in 2023.

Highly recommended if you like Kraftwerk, Neu!, Stereolab, or latter-day Mogwai.

I just DO NOT understand what the big deal is with this Angine De Poitrine band.

The hype and internet worship is completely disproportionate to the actual music.

The costumes and tomfoolery are super gimmicky and beyond novelty, and MANY artists in the past have done the microtonal thing far more successfully.

I hear them, and all I get out it is a huge fucking headache.

I respect the musicianship.
But the music they make with their talents I will never be able to respect or take seriously.

Maybe if I was 20 years old and on acid, I could enjoy them live.
But nah, man.
No thanks.

If I want serious microtonal music I can listen to Penderecki or Harry Partch’s The World Of Harry Partch, and not have to look at assholes dressed in polka dot costumes.
Even King Gizzard would be better.

Do you think that the classic rock (revival/survival) genre has a smaller fan base compared to pop (or K-pop) because people are busy reminiscing about past classic rock songs and judging new bands like Greta Van Fleet, rather than creating and participating in new classic rock songs themselves?

Released today 35 years ago:

🇬🇧 Siouxsie and the Banshees "Kiss Them for Me" – 1991

Built on layered percussion, shimmering textures, and exotic melodic flourishes, the song marked one of the band’s most accessible and commercially successful moments. Siouxsie Sioux delivers a sensual and controlled vocal performance, floating above the dense, atmospheric arrangement...

New #review today: "Different Voices is a remastered collection that contains all of the tracks recorded as #WaxTheatricks, plus the songs from #Earwacks’ second single in 1980. Their sound was a mix of #NewWave pop informed by jazzy and progressive elements, mixing clever hooks, interesting lyrics, with great solos on saxes and guitar and more." #ExposeOnline #ArtRock #ArtPop #DavidUdell http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/wax-theatricks-different-voices-3.html

PALE SAINTS
In Ribbons (30th Anniversary Re:Masters)
2023 Worldwide Remastered Reissue

A masterpiece of the #shoegaze genre.
I have as much reverence for this as I do Ride’s Nowhere or Slowdive’s Souvlaki.

This remaster is phenomenal sounding! Clearer and louder, but not in any off-putting way. It’s very tastefully done, and it sounds the best it’s ever sounded.

The odd time signatures on a few of the songs has always been its most endearing quality for me. The guitars are great (super trippy and psych sounding), but it’s those rhythmic structures that have always stood out most.

“Ordeal” is mind-bendingly heavy and massive, “Throwing Back The Apple” is jangly and pastoral, and “Thread Of Light” features a beautiful vocal Meriel Barham.

Their final, and what I think is their BEST record.
I know I’m in the minority there, but it is.

Imminent 3
1986 UK pressing

Hello, Monday, you ugly sack of shit.
😂

Needed a good mix to get going on this the most foul of all days.

Landed on this; a great mix of #80s #alternative #indie #postpunk snd weirdo #avantgarde tunes.

Great songs by The Weathermen, Executive Slacks, Young Turks, and Home And Garden to name a few.

To quote the great Steven Wright:

“Monday is an awful way to spend 1/7 of your life.”

SUR UNE PLAGE
Battle Fatigued
2018 Canada pressing

This is a Canadian art-pop / #electronic duo from Vancouver which features Josh Wells from the bands Black Mountain and Lightning Dust.

And although I’m not a huge fan of either of those bands, I do have a great deal of affection for THIS project and particularly this record.

Sometimes it sounds like Suicide or Kraftwerk, and other times like the synthiest, poppiest #80s bands; like Depeche Mode or even Duran Duran.
It’s a SUPER-FUN record, and hits me like all the classic bands and albums of the #synthpop #artrock albums of the late #70s and early eighties.

Just 40 years later.

New #review today: "Norwegian Mellotron junkies #35Tapes are up to their fourth album celebrating the venerable proto-sampler keyboard. Veil on Life presents six tracks of moody melodic music that leans towards #ProgressiveRock without really tipping over into the genre, but the classiness of the writing and arrangements should please listeners looking for a prog fix." #ExposeOnline #ArtRock http://expose.org/.../display/35-tapes-veil-on-life-2.html

🇬🇧 David Bowie "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" – 1972

A landmark concept album that transformed Bowie into an international phenomenon. Blending glam rock theatrics with sharp songwriting and futuristic storytelling, the record follows the rise and collapse of the alien rock-star figure Ziggy Stardust...

Just West Of Something Big- A CFRU-FM Compilation Album
1987 Canada pressing

A killer collection of #punk #postpunk #newwave and #artrock from #canada in the late #80s released by WCRFU in Guelph, Ontario, a community radio station.

All of the bands here came from the Guelph/Southern Ontario area, and this is a snapshot of late-1980s campus-radio culture in Canada — the kind of regional DIY scene that connected post-punk, experimental, folk, college rock, tape culture, and local art collectives before distributing things on the internet was a thing.
It was meant more as a local scene document than any kind of commercial product.

And what a scene it was.
Tons of really cool sounding bands on this; This Ill File, Rigor Mortis, Exploding Postmen, and Built With Lego just to name a few.

Copies of this are apparently pretty scarce now, so I’m happy to have one.

BLITZOIDS
Stealing From Helpless Children
1987 U.S. pressing

A wonderful, mind-boggling #experimental album that, for all its #avantgarde weirdness is quite musical.

Only 500 of these exist (I’m glad mine had both the original post card and comic book included when I bought it), and people who know about this band (and this record specifically) like to compare it to The Residents.

I’m not sure I agree that.
Yes, little moments here and there are reminiscent of that band, but I find this album FAR more interesting, engaging and weirder than anything they did.

BLITZOIDS were known more as a studio band, and they’d almost HAVE to be, after you’d hear what’s happening on this record.
Total anarchic sound collages, weird tape edits, abstract instrumentals that border on parody.

Three very odd individual pieces who, when they came together, made some very unique and adventurous music.
Wild.

MORT GARSON
Music From Patch Cord Productions
2023 U.S. Ltd. Edition pressing
Orange vinyl

Diving into some more Mort to start the celebration.
The celebration of Friday.
The best day not named Saturday or Sunday.

Another great collection of Mort curiosities; including short advertising jingles, alternate Plantasia versions, random pieces from films and television, and more.

Long live The Master Of The Moog!

This also came with MY favorite poster that’s ever come with a record I’ve bought.
Just look at that thing.
I still need to have it framed.
