bickster Posted March 7, 2021 Moderator Share Posted March 7, 2021 Remember the googlewhack? I've got a new one. The Discogsack. I am the only person on Discogs that owns this record. It's only a couple of years old, so you'd imagine some of the UK Record Stores would still have a few copies floating about if it didn't sell and if it did sell, then others would have it. for me it was just a speculative purchase, its just jazzy and a bit spacey intrumentals, its Ok nowt special. I know absolutely nothing about this band apart from they are from Bristol. Almost impossible to find them even mentioned on t'internet. All a bit of a mystery Alaias - Music for an Imaginary Surf Film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the rolling stones 500 about 3 or 4 years back, started the nme the next year but didn't finish it In terms of the time spent yeah quite easily, in terms of 300 individual albums it's hard cos I tend to listen to a lot of stuff on repeat Out of those 500 albums I bought three of them, 2 early Elton John albums and Sam Cooke live at the harlem club, there's a lot of shite on that list and it can be one hell of a chore Another edit - as for that lockdown 300 vinyls thing, no I couldn't do that, haven't got the time, most of my music is walking to work or at work or whilst exercising, I'd have to do it when the wife wasn't there too so haven't got a chance Edited March 7, 2021 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) Bit of country music. Ed Bruce’s self titled album. I bought this a while back but was without a record player. Its first outing tonight and its phenomenal. Not a recommendation as you won’t like it but my god, for me I will struggle to hear a better LP this year. Fantastic.

Seat68 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I like a lot of Guy Clarks later material particularly My Favourite Picture of You. This seems like a good introduction to his earlier material. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted March 8, 2021 Moderator Share Posted March 8, 2021 Psychedelic Furs eponymously titled debut I have five Furs albums, I can't quite work out how I bought so many because they were never a first division outfit for me back then. I probably listen to them more now than I did then. Glad I still have them anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I am going through the vinyl I have purchased over the past 12 months. This one is an album I have listened to previously and enjoyed so made the leap and bought it from a seller in Germany. @chrisp65 and myself have discussed it here and on twitter in the past so not much new to add other than it was worth every penny. Next up is a triple set of my wifes, the Smiths half a person unofficial release. That will be a joy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Yep, it’s back on the play list shelf in my house. Slightly poppy and crackly as I picked mine up from a very basic second hand shop, but decent tunes. I always come away with Ladies Love Outlaws stuck as an ear worm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen you post The Fall before It’s one of those ones that gets played a fair bit, but I always think i must have already posted it half a dozen times. Perhaps I haven’t! I heard Mexico Wax Solvent years ago and had to have it. I’m a sucker for some basic drums and bass. But I think this is the only Fall album in the house, somewhere out in the garage I’ll have Imperial Wax Solvent as well. Stay tuned, I’m on the oldies but goodies train tonight! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I wonder if this is one of those albums I bought when I thought I might get a girl back to the house and it would help me touch boob? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted March 11, 2021 Moderator Share Posted March 11, 2021 Can I just say that the New Nick Cave & Warren Ellis album is a f***ing materpiece. An absolute return to the finest form possible. It was on my list (and will now be right at the top of that list when the shops reopen) but I decided to listen to it on Spotify tonight, it's just been on repeat Mag-F***ing-nificent 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know that it is like anything else to be perfectly honest. There's bits similar to a lot of stuff. A bit of Boatman Calls here, a bit of the more minimal aspects of Ghosteeen there but it also draws quite a bit on their cinematic scores too. But its decidely not the Bad Seeds or Grinderman, there isn't a guitar riff anywhere but there are choirs and even the piano is less upfront that usual The track White Elephant is almost some sort of minimalist leftfield hip hop backing track at the start but no rapping, just a Cave in character monologue and then the really slow strings lines start surging after that comes a choral bit.... and so it goes on and gets more orchestral (with bells) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
