hmmm the past decade eh. there have been many jewels all over the place. But the new popular bands that abound are tuneless, dull, hype. a search here and there always throws up good kicks I think. esp from the small labels.. this is a sample of the new that i have returned to many many times, granted many are v established.

so after all these years, being a dubliner and at a gig of some type most weekends, I went to see the last of the u2 dublin shows last nite. friends I'd brought to the stones wanted me to see how 'wrong' i was and that u2 are simply the best. amusing as this was i didnt mind the 35euro tic price. And I will never go again. all as i expected, pristine, mainstream, corpo rock which o

thanks for that. all the info there. i have the 97 reissue cd w extra tracks. sound is pretty good considering. would recommend their Historia De La Musica Rock for way better sounds recording wise and good fun too. Yep a great band that bore great fruits indeed.

All too tantalisingly short though. Makes you wonder how much more footage has this guy got? enough for an extra on future issues of the DVD/bluray? Will be reading the Observer this Sun when his spiel gets printed.

QuoteNikolai I've got Hudson River WM. Superb stuff. MM I have, but I really can't listen to it. Ditto the Zeitkrazer version. I'm still unsure if it's not really one big joke, that album, which Lou - to his bemusement - has played along with (literally). MMM i'm happy to take as it is, relentless fast sounds loud and mechanical oh and tuneless too. a great slab of g

no worries, will post bak. tho i am prob going to be liking it considering I just can't get enuf of the 75 MMM album (damn where are the outtakes?!) and also the live version! I guess this latest is similar to the 'hudson river wind meditations' which came out 2 yrs ago a set that is very erm conducive. that one's on itunes

just a quick one re what's Lou up to these days. His website has the latest album 'metal machine trio-the creation of the universe' for purchase posted there exclusively. I plan to get it tonight even tho it may 'just' be a recent live show of experimental music only. I think what Lou has done throughout his career is just as much sounds- perfecting, feedbacking, droning,

anyone know of RTX? great US band onto their 3rd album now due any day, serious fans of all the above, takin the essence and skewin it thataway and this making something pretty glorious in the process. 1st trak there 'cheap wine time' is actually more stones circa 73 than anything else, the rest just as good as it gets,the last ride indeed!

thats a great selection of tracks, interesting flow there. Glad to see Brian on the cover too. yeh I imagine the 'first flat record ever from 1881' he had his mits on is worth way more in that collection he's got. many a year i could spend locked in that bigroom with a few mates and just beer and peanuts for sustenance.

lil film under tues Aug 19 here of a guy w the biggest record collection in the world. Thing is at 1:30 in he shows his most valuable which is a stones record i've never seen before worth $6-10000 he says. Any clues as to what it is? whats on there? no hint of a title just b/w cool 68/69 pic and 'the rolling stones'. pertinent yet sad film tho.
