New #review today: "This latest release featuring #RogerClarkMiller sees him returning to a group format after a couple of solo guitar albums. In fact, it has more in common with #MissionOfBurma than most of his other projects, being an honest-to-goodness rock band. As the name #TrinarySystem implies, The Hard Machine was recorded by a trio..." #ExposeOnline #ArtRock #AvantRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/trinary-system-the-hard-machine-2.html

Tigers In Cairo Cover Jawbreaker And Mission Of Burma
Photo by Chad KelcoSan Diego’s post-punk quintet, Tigers In Cairo, is wrapping up a massive debut year with a holiday gift for fans of punk rock history. Their new EP, as told by…, features blistering reinterpretations of Jawbreaker and Mission of Burma. The lead track, a polished yet intense version of Jawbreaker’s “Do You Still Hate Me?,” showcases vocalist David Martin’s muscular bravado. Meanwhile, their take on Mission of Burma’s “That’s How I Escaped My Certain Fate” honors bassist Clint Conley with a beefed-up low end. Embodying 90s alt-energy and modern melodic intensity, Tigers In Cairo cement their status as one of Southern California’s most exciting acts.

Catherine Wheel - 30th Century Man
EP that came out around when Ferment was released (1992), the guys do a ripping cover of the title Scott Walker tune, That’s When I Reach for My Revolver (by Mission of Burma), and Don’t Want to Know if You Are Lonely (by Hüsker Dü).
Toss in one original (Free of Mind) and you’ve got a hell of an EP.

Mission of Burma – Vs. (1982, US)
Today’s spotlight is on number 777 on The List, submitted by @puffer.
I had expected to listen to far less music than usual in the last month, given the hectic work schedule that had me take a break from blogging. But, well, November 5 happened, and I have ended up squeezing in as much music as humanly possible to cope, not unlike what I did in the aftermath of November 8, 2016. In particular, I inadvertently started a new listening project, that of doing deep dives on artists with solid bodies of work. After first going through the entire discography of The Cure, and then that of Siouxsie & The Banshees and The Creatures, I realized how great such a task is at keeping my brain occupied. And so, I asked the Fediverse for more recommendations of solid discographies and, as always, they delivered.
One recommendation that had multiple votes was Mission of Burma. Having never knowingly listened to them before but remembering that we had their first album on The List, I was excited to get to know this band…and tore through their discography plus some of their side-/post-projects in a week. I did so in a rather haphazard fashion and am needing to revisit a good chunk of it, so perhaps I should’ve left this spotlight until after doing that. However, at the time of writing, the one and only Puffer has just published a really excellent piece over at their Digital LoFi blog about their experience of the Boston post-punk scene in the 80s, a scene which included Mission of Burma. Among many other things, Puffer touches on how they got into Burma and the Vs. album, as well as the drummer Peter Prescott’s next band, Volcano Suns.*
So, rather than regaling you with my tale of how my entire background with Burma is via a free MOJO CD I stole from my employer’s garbage and a Moby cover, let’s head on over to Digital LoFi to continue our spotlight on Vs. Puffer’s piece is an absolute goldmine for someone like me who is into 80s post-punk but not familiar with the Boston scene, so it’s well worth the trip. And (!), there’s even a mixtape to go with it, that kicks off with track 1 of Vs.
Happy reading/listening!

*We’ll meet up again with Prescott and the other Volcano Suns members in a future spotlight, as they were “The Din” for the Dredd Foole and The Din album we have on The List, Eat My Dust, Cleanse My Soul (1985).

Momentarily sidetracked from working my way through the Mission of Burma discography because their collab with Dredd Foole is blowing my mind. Of course @platenworm tooted about these last year but I erroneously glossed over it - always a good idea to follow platenworm's music recs!

Thinking about how both Mission of Burma and My Bloody Valentine have a song or album named "Tremolo", but one is AM and the other is FM.

Today’s morning choice falls under the category of bands I never got a chance to see in the 80s that I wish I had tried harder to track down. Great album! #music #vinyl #vinylcollection #nowPlaying #missionofburma
