Music ???

NFL

There's a classic rugby video in the comments following Bob's (cool) post on the 9/10 positions.
Good footage, but the noise (music?) that accompanies it is the worst I've heard in my 50 long years and makes me REALLY BAD want an M16 and matching shopping mall.
FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, who in the sam hell thinks that's a worthwhile sound track for rugby ?
What's wrong with the world ?
It's like walking out the front door and there's no gravity.
Somebody should do something..

Some really obscure music/albums listed on this web page:
http://kiwitapes.blogspot.com.au/2007_07_01_archive.html

This particular album caught my eye:
http://kiwitapes.blogspot.com.au/2007/07/skeptics-amalgam.html

It's a little-known fact that @Dismal was NZ's first (& to date only) Next Top Male Model, winning the title when both the other finalists succumbed to the effects of some mushrooms @Dismal cooked up in the NZNTMM house (but did not himself consume, it being "just not right for a fun guy to eat fungi, it's pretty much cannabilism").

As part of his prize package (the rest being $100 worth of KFC vouchers & a giant chocolate Easter Bunny) he picked up a modelling contract worth twenty bucks a week & sat for that now-famous Skeptics CD cover. Sadly, but predictably, the suits stiffed him royalties-wise (there being none after the suits had deducted their fees) so he stormed out've the record company, relocated to Pitcairn & has since then been using his avatar as a means of reminding the suits (who, truth be told, don't give a fuck about rugby) that he's owed.

All true.

Although when you call homebake and mushrooms "homebake mushrooms" it sounds surprisingly appetising.

Then 20 mins later reality sets in and it's holy shit what the hell was that



ps more mancave action. Yes, that's Byron with his head cut off. Happened the day I got him. Instant decapitation. No questions asked. OFF.

In my once & once-only experience, a cat appearing to turn itself inside out. And then it got weird :)

Talk about unforgiving: throw him in chains & flog him like a Strayan bitching about McCaw being offside all day long but decapitation strikes me as being a little extreme. I'm guessing the homebake mushrooms were especially tasty that day........

in a record store yesterday got to chatting with the old vendor bloke, he asks me how many recs I have, I say "about 3,000, too many, from here to here, blah blah, big brag, angry wife haha" and so on. Then I ask him how many he's got and he smiles like an insane cheshire cat and says "oh, about double this shop. About 40,000"


3,000 is pretty good.......... I think my collection might only be half of that?

If I had the disposable income I had ten years ago I would probably need a shop too..............

The rate I was buying records between around 2003 - 2007........... good times.........

Australian record prices means I can only treat myself to one per month if I'm lucky.............

I think we now pay about triple the price of US retailers.

You can thank our ridiculous parallel importation laws for that. Same for books. It shits me to tears.

Sun O))) - Monoliths & Dimensions is my clear favourite, feat. some fine contributors in Eyvind Kang and Julian Priester, and recorded by my man Randall Dunn................

Earth - I much prefer the twangy reincarnate version of the group, particularly The Bees Made Honey in the Lion's Skull (also recorded by RD).............

so lp prices are outpacing Aus wages? I heard NZ is pretty nuts too, folks getting used to seeing NZ$49.95 lp's


New/reissue LP's are generally around AUS$30 - $40, and double LP's generally anywhere between $45-$60.............

The last time I was in the US (2012, when the AUS dollar reigned over the US), I came back with a suitcase worth of LP's.............

I recall picking up Swans The Seer 3LP for maybe $18?

My latest purchase..........

The Group - The Feed-Back


The Group, otherwise known as Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza, was an improvisational collective of experimental composers featuring the one and only Ennio Morricone............

Morricone actually featured the group on a few of his film scores............

A number of record labels have been putting out their reissues lately (including the Australian label - Roundtable)..............

This record is quite CAN-like, featuring funky rhythm section topped off with a mixture of feedback, dissonant guitar lines, piano, screeching violin and horns.

Eyvind Kang's solo works are all brilliant IMO, in particular - Theater of Mineral NADEs and Live Low to the Earth, In the Iron Age.............

I don't really listen to the earlier Swans as much (mostly Body to Body, Job to Job when I do)..............

My fondness actually lies in their most recent albums, plus Soundtracks for the Blind.

One of his later albums that I really liked was Devils & Dust from 2005.

Well worth checking out if you're a fan. The songs on it were mostly written quite a lot earlier.
