i'm so thrilled about some albums lately, but i don't want to make a new topic for each one, so here's the list:
DEERHUNTER - microcastle
i just discovered this a couple months ago, and it's easily one of the best albums i've ever heard. i can't stop listening to it!
THE HANDSOME FAMILY - honey moon
beautiful, nearly flawless album. rennie sparks never disappoints. great summer night album.
ANIMAL COLLECIVE - merriweather post pavillion
haven't stopped listening to this one since january. endlessly wonderful.

I fucking love Drahla. They're one of my favourite new bands, and they're from from Leeds! Just released a new song (following their great debut album this year) called Dogstar. It's got a real 80's lo-fi indie feel to it.

I never realised I was a fan of Hootie & The Blowfish! My mate was always banging on about them, I always assumed they were a Scottish band. He liked his Scottish bands. Anyway, proper Americana rock and roll this new track is >

Ghosteen, again and again. Too strong the first time. But now I think it's really the best possible thing to do when nothing could be done. |

A few weeks ago I got some free tickets to a Raconteurs show and ended up right on the barricade. It was a great show and afterwards I relistened to Jack White’s whole discography and then started digging back into some classic Detroit garage rock. Such a great scene.
Oh, and I played Headache on my radio show last week. A man called in to say he really liked my music choices and that Headache is one of his favorite songs. That was pretty cool!

Q: Where do Pixies keep their instruments when they're not playing?
A: Debasement. |

Pneuma at 3:33 minutes and then some
I know... geeking out
Just saying, Fear Inoculum crushes in a very positive way
*Pneuma, air or spirit or lack of (pneumonia) verses
And so I left the world below
And into the rocks I climbed
Now I'm living in the cold
But I'm looking for the sign
again geeking breathlessly, yet not entirely off
gonna keep up with the climb

Been listening to this band all day, I'm really excited about them. (almost as excited when I discovered Drahla)
Imagine a female Eddie Argos talky singing to some nice Les Savy Fav-esque riffs. The Les Savy Fav quitarist himself is quite Joey Santiago-esque himself so you could say this band are overall a little bit Pixies-esque (but with perhaps slightly more discordant Sarah Nixey-esque vocals)
They've released two 6 track EPs with year and both of them are big double thumbs up from me. |

I missed the Fall chat. This Nation's Saving Grace is excellent.
Found this from another thread:

"I saw Frank Black do a talk recently because the Pixies were doing a cover of Big New Prinz. He was asked why they were doing that and he said, 'Oh, because I went to the ballet.' So he went to one, and I think Sonic Youth came. I heard the Pixies' version of Big New Prinz and I know Ding who played bass in The Fall after me and who has also played on Pixies stuff. The Pixies were playing Manchester Apollo, so I asked Ding if I could get up - the guy who wrote Big New Prinz - and do it with them. But it was a no (laughs)." - Steve Hanley.

Some of the new Iggy album is decent. Good song this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Dn2spkKahE Would be great if someone got him to cover Gouge Away or something. BF said it would be cool if he covered Tame.
Saw The Divine Comedy a few weeks ago and it was a great gig. There's a strong case to be made that Neil Hannon is the best songwriter to have come out of Ireland. |

I can't stop listening to Dylan's "Changing of the Guards" -- his version, FB&C's version, and Patti Smith's version. All are great.

I’ve got Repetition on repeat
I've not listened to many whole albums by The Fall but kurious Orange is a known favourite. Re-mit that was out a few years ago wasn't bad I though? Some of my favourite tracks anyway:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5zav2yrC7M
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3ZSXlNvAiI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0bZofM6EOU (cover of an old Northern Soul song)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0I2u6DKnwI (also a cover, obvs)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6m2lfk4Bm34
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIZ7AhqflYM&t=314s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpWVk3h2SA8
I guess you probably know most of them anyway..
And this Jools Holland live clip is quite fun, especially at the end. MES was well known for his drunken antic (or pretending). I heard a story one time at a gig when the band got so fed up with him that they all walked off the stage and left him (and were genuinely hacked off with him).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09Z3Ww94IUk
The reality of MES is I beleive that (according to many who knew him) that he wasn't actually a very nice person. The full Glasto up here 2015 set is quite good, and you can visibly see the band members getting pissed off with his antics.

Yes, It's entirely the kind of laconic humour we would expect from Mark E Smith  |

Just read through the lyrics of Kurious Oranj. And get the MES historical perspective of the working class shitkicker. You'll start to get it. Just remember MES is one happy prick.
Kurious Oranj/The Fall
They Were Curious Orange. They Were Kurious Oranj
Pained and intense, man. But they were inquiring
They rode over peasants like you, they rode over peasants like you
And their horses loved them too, and their horses loved them too
They built the world as we know it
All the systems you traverse
Rode slipshod over all dumbshits
They freed the blacks too
They built church in one day, man, Amish
Their clothes were cool
Paved way for atom bomb--didn't know
They made the Jews go to school
They sent missionary girls to Arab states
And the sun-baked men did drool
They made Hitler laugh in pain
They turned Napoleon over and didn't know
They invented birth control
They were invulnerable to cool
They were primo efficient to a man
They were Stuyvestant smoking
They were beyond Ooobenblief
They were the Reformation spring
And everybody in the world
Turned Reformation blue
They were invulnerable to cool
And everybody in the world...
And they were inquiring
They were positively deranged and they were kurious oranj
They spat on the Belgians
They were anti-Gaelic, anti-semitic, anti-Arabic
You name it, man, they were against it

When you've gone through the entire The Fall back catalogue and eventually gotten a bit bored with them, just pick any band from the new UK lo-fi punk scene and listen to them. They're all copying Mark E Smith and most of them are complete shit. You'll feel entirely refreshed by The Fall again after a couple of Fontaines DC tracks. #TheBlandAge |

Dragged the audio book into the 21st century doing it.
I read the graphic novel about Nick Cave (Mercy On Me) and it was really bad.

A friend of mine at uni (He took German. I took French) went up to Cave in our local pub and started a conversation in German thinking he spoke some German having lived and worked in Berlin. Realising Cave spoke no German he got offended and told Cave off for not showing proper respect to his hosts. Cave just sat there dumbfounded. I wish Kleist had put that little nugget into his graphic novel.

Aye, they do. We used to go for lunch on Portobello Rd most days and would sometimes see Cave walking with his son, Luke. Always walking briskly I remember.

Annie Clark is a nice guitar player but she doesn't play so much live any more either. She went a bit lamely megafamous after this album, which I consider her peak

Same here. I've been listening to it a ton the last week. Lots of good songs on there. And that last track -- wow. That's how you close an album.
