I must say that your stories about playing certain albums whilst at work were incredibly entertaining! I must say though, re your positive reactions to Coltrane, I have never recieved such reactions. I guess I always play the wrong record to the wrong people.... While Im here, I have the original Japanese Toys Factory edition of Torture Garden. Whats the SP on this now its re-released as part of Black Box? --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo! Mail AddressGuard

how dirty do your shoes get????
by rjs 01 Jan '04

you know, one CD I recently picked up and I just can't stop listening to is "The Pagans: the Pink Album....Plus!" I picked it up as an offshoot from the also amazing The Day the Earth Met Rocket From the Tombs. Its 70s and It is Cleveland, but God talk about some high energy, raw, non-perfection music. For me, its like finding a diamond in the dirt. No, I didnt forget what listserv this is, but Im reading very diverse listening tastes - just wondering if there is anyone who joins my liking of this> z __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: film noir - spillane - any favorites
by ericksna＠umich.edu 01 Jan '04

I enjoyed the brief conversations sparked by the comments on guilty pleasures, and was a little sad that they tapered off right around the time that the subject got around to film noir and the hard boiled detective genre. Do we have any fans following these areas? Personally I can appreciate Micky Spillane for his contributions to the genre, but have always felt that he was never able to live up to Chandler, Hammett(red harvest is my personal favorite), or even Jim Thompson as a writer. Anyone have any favorite film noir or detective films/books? I recently watched Alphaville and the DVD of Knife in the Water, and think I might have to delve into one of my favorite genres again over the holidays. nathan n.p.

to end the year 2003, here's some more info on the supergroup which were discussed earlier this year...as i remember, noone believed Mick Harris would get behind the drumset again... according to this info, he IS indeed back!: Found this on Blabbermouth.net: With regards to Embury's much-anticipated "total punk thrash grind" project with ex-NAPALM DEATH drummer Mick Harris, former BRUTAL TRUTH singer Kevin Sharp and MELVINS/FANTOMAS guitarist Buzz Osborne, Embury said, "[the group's debut album] will be out early next year as we are just searching for a label to put it out. But it's done and ready to go. [We're] gonna be recording some songs for some split records early next year as well." thanks to paul for the info happy new years folks! -k --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

Just yesterday I bought the Rocket From The Tombs retrospective on cool red vinyl, so I find it very serendipitous that it is mentioned today! I agree, it's the best raw, unbridled music I've heard in awhile. Makes you want to go out and form a punk rock band!

Their other record, "Captain Vapor Athletes" is much more unfocused and schizo. While it's interesting, it's nowhere near as good. I liked BD the best out of that wave of sample-heavy, "pop culture bricolage" music of the mid nineties. Other touchstones are/were Cibo Matto, Fantastic Plastic Machine, the Pizzicato Five, Beck's "odelay" (on a more mainstream note), and later Cornelius' "fantasma." It was an interesting mini-movement in music, all genres coming together in a post-structural stew. andrew

buffalo daughter - new rock

I just got a copy of this and really really like the sound of it. I guess you could call it new rock, it goes so much further. At times the guitar player has a ribot thing going on. anyone want to weigh in on their other albums? any suggestions for other collaborations and generally stuff that kind of follows this sound and or players? -I was really surprised to hear a song on this album that I had remixed on this cornelius album, it was driving me nuts for about 2 hours trying to place it. happynewyear everyone! j+_ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Hey Skip, you make some valid points about Blood On The Tracks and/vs Blood On The Tracks: The New York Sessions. Thinking about it further, the NY sessions would not have been as meaningful for me had I not known, grown and loved the original release first. Yet, depending on my mood/state of mind Im drawn to either of them at any given moment. My first few listenings of the NY sessions were like magic - and I still ponder upon Dylan's processes and goals of perfection. Regarding technicalities, you seem to have a decent handle on that - I for that matter, do not listen with that ear. Either way, Dylan IS! If I had to on this given day (next week might be different) my top 5 Dylan Favs (in order) are 1. Live 1975 - The Rolling Thunder Revue 2. John Wesley Harding 3. Blood on the Tracks (either one) 4. The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan 5. Highway 61 Revisited Also, a great link to find some rare dylan is here http://www.ne.jp/asahi/bob/dylan/ this guy updates about twice a month. z Note: forwarded message attached. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
