Sorry no Spotify access.

I started off trying to not to put anything that's already been on a compilation, but in the end restricted it even further to the post Some Girls albums since they are the most overlooked period.

And Plundered My Soul is as much a 2010 song as an Exile outtake.

sleeve note

It's funny how you live with these records, then you live without them - and then you meet up again years later and they've changed, or you've changed. The old feelings are still there, but you don't quite love them in the same way.

The first records are still lovely, but now they're all thin, like children dressed up in suits. Going Blank Again used to be a slightly failed attempt at pop, but it's blossoming into a surprisingly experimental take on same. Carnival Of Light was always lush, but now it's matured (or you've matured) it's not boring any more. Even Tarantula isn't the steaming mess it once was.

I had terrific fun putting this together. I ditched chronology and went for flow. We start at the end and move back through the tunes version of the band. They always had strong songs. But that was only part of it, they stretched and explored, and we get a bit wider and more epic as we go on.

They were always some curious version of the Stooges' kid brothers at heart, though, and that's where we start and finish. Beyond Woodstock closes on 'Grasshopper', still their finest garage moment, all eleven minutes of it. Wordless and not an ounce of fat on it, an epic you could fit in your pocket. They began with a squall and ended with a crunch, and I love them for it.

That's a bold move opening the Ride comp. with a song from their final, terrible album. But what a great song it is!

xp That final album's improved since it came out and I genuinely don't think I could get through it even once. This time around it was merely 'not good'.

Sorry, no Spotify. :( The first disc is a chronological, one-song-from-each-album, "greatest hits" set, with "hit" generally implying that the song has been talked about more than others or that a lot of people seem to like it. The songs on disc two are more pensive and/or dark, and tend to be my personal favorites. Not in chrono order.

Magic Dirt
These Singing Lessons Are Really Starting To Fuck Me Over
An Hour of Dirt
[I'm in the US, so no Spotify, but can supply a link if need be]

Ice (3:21) - Life Was Better EP (1994)
We've got another Sonic Youth on our hands, think gullible record labels. Other versions have better sound, but lack exploding effects box ending.
My Pal (3:54) - Idiot Box (1996)
For this cover (original by Aussie band God) Magic Dirt secure entrance to heaven, no matter what one may think of the rest of their songs
I Was Cruel (6:56) - Friends In Danger (1996)
The EP version is rawer and generally better, but loses the climactic scream, hence not as good
Sparrow (3:41) - Recovery! Hits From The Back Door (1997)
The "single" from Friends of Danger, one of the best cut-outs in the history of cut-outs. Presented here in a non-album version just because
Rabbit With Fangs (2:41) - Young and Full Of The Devil (1998)
Had to pick something from this generally weak album where we take ourselves a little too seriously (and for this band, that's saying something)
Dirty Jeans (3:41) - What Are Rock Stars Doing Today (2000)
Probably would have been better if someone had written a few more lyrics, but it's still the breakthrough pop single
Supernova (2:37) - Dirty Jeans EP (Liz Phair Cover) (2000)
Not great, exactly, but handy to have for mixtapes
All My Crushes (3:55) - Tough Love (2003)
"Every jumper I fold fills with your torso" is possibly the worst lyric ever written, but the guitars still rule
Love Me (6:01) - Plastic Loveless Letter Single (2003)
Magic Dirt buy a copy of "Some Girls" or something
Isotope (2:47) - What Are Rock Stars Doing Today (2004 Bonus Disc Version)
This shorter version is way better than the long one
Takin It All Wrong (4:47) - What Are Rock Stars Doing Today (2004 Bonus Disc Version)
I shelled out like $35.00 for the UK version of "Rock Stars" which is an album I don't even like that much, but it's true that the bonus disc is gold
Johnny Loves Sarah (4:27) - I Love The Rain Single (2005)
Meh sell-out single redeemed by killer b-side
Dyin' (4:16) - Snow White (2005)
Band still can't decide whether to rock out or sell out, but this hits a nice balance
Bring Me The Head Of... (3:24) - Beast (2007)
To hell with selling out. We wanna rawk
White Boy (5:25) - Girl (2008)
Yup, that's it. Loud guitars and yelling. Took us long enough to figure out what we're good at

In contrast to my Al Green comp, my Kinks kollektion (that will be the only one, I promise)is very much a sort of updating of the major canonical compilation. I've followed John Mendelssohn's lead in omitting the huge singles aside from the undeniable Lola. The discs are very broadly divided between love songs (disc 1) and songs of social observation (disc 2), though there are songs that could fit in either or neither category on both discs. Again, the sequencing is dictated largely by what sounds good to my ear.

Time Will Tell: An Incomplete History of the Kinks, English Rock Combo, 1964-1996, in Two Volumes.

Disc 1
1. She`s Got Everything [Kinks Kronikles]
2. Lola [Lola Versus Powerman And The Money Go Round]
3. Sweet Lady Genevieve [Preservation Act 1 ]
4. Heart of Gold [State of Confusion]
5. Mr. Shoemaker's Daughter [Kinks Kronikles]
6. Fancy [Face To Face]
7. Wicked Annabella [The Village Green Preservation]
8. Holloway Jail [Muswell Hillbillies]
9. Moments [Soundtrack from the film Percy]
10. Holiday Romance [A Soap Opera]
11. Where Have All the Good Times Gone [Kink Kontroversy]
12. Susannah's Still Alive [Kinks Kronikles]
13. See My Friends [The Ultimate Collection]
14. The Way Love Used To Be [Soundtrack from the film Percy]
15. This Time Tomorrow [Lola Versus Powerman And The Money Go Round]
16. No more looking back [Schoolboys in disgrace]
17. Animal [To the Bone]
18. Scattered (Phobia)
19. Better Things [Give the People What They Want]
20. On the Outside [Sleepwalker Bonus Track]
21. Days [Kinks Kronikles]

Disc 2
1. Milk Cow Blues [Kink Kontroversy]
2. Last Of The Steam-Powered Trains [The Village Green Preservation]
3. Big Black Smoke [Kinks Kronikles]
4. I'm Not Like Everybody Else [The Ultimate Collection]
5. Time Will Tell [no official release]
6. Dead End Street [Kinks Kronikles]
7. Death Of A Clown [Something Else By The Kinks]
8. Father Christmas [Misfits Bonus Track]
9. The Million-Pound-Semi-Detached [Waterloo Sunset: The Songs of Ray Davies]
10. Shangri La [Arthur, Or The Decline And Fall Of The British Empire]
11. Autumn Almanac [Kinks Kronikles]
12. The video shop [Think visual]
13. Loony balloon [UK Jive]
14. Oklahoma USA [Muswell Hillbillies]
15. Full Moon [Sleepwalker]
16. Waterloo Sunset [Something Else By The Kinks]
17. Summer's Gone (Extended Edit) [Word of Mouth Bonus Track]
18. Moving Pictures [Low Budget]
19. This Is Where I Belong [Kinks Kronikles]

My comp title comes from the song "Manifesto" which is itself the title of a Decadent French novel about a thrill-seeking aesthete.

DOOMSDAY – The best of the super-villain MF DOOM

DISC ONE - A pied piper holler a rhyme, a dollar and a dime/ Do his thing, ring around the white collar crime
1. A Word Of Advice
2. Raedawn (Viktor Vaughn)
3. Doomsday
4. Potholderz ft. Count Base D
5. Gazillion Ear (Doom)
6. Tick, Tick ft. MF Grimm
7. What A Niggy Know (KMD)
8. Raid ft. Medaphoar (MADVILLAIN)
9. No Snakes Alive ft. MF Grimm as Jet Jaguar and Rodan (King Geedorah)
10. Mince Meat (Danger Doom)
11. Hey!
12. Curls (Madvillain)
13. Who Me (KMD)
14. The Mic Sound Nice
15. The Gas Face by 3rd Bass (Zev Luv X)
16. Contact Blitt (KMD)
17. Supervillainz ft. Kurious, Mobonix & Slug (DOOM)
18. Lactose And Lecithin (Viktor Vaughn)

DISC 2 - Is that so!?/ The first hip-hop chat show/ Whoever talk slick get they lip popped by fatso

1. Social Distortion - Prince Po ft. MF Doom
2. Sofa King - Madlib Remix (Danger Doom)
3. Lickupon (Viktor Vaughn)
4. Gas Drawls
5. One Beer (MADVILLAIN)
6. Peachfuzz (KMD)
7. Dead Bent
8. Doper Skiller ft. Kool Keith (Viktor Vaughn)
9. ? ft. Kurious
10. Deep Fried Frenz
11. The Fine Print (King Geedorah)
12. Rhinestone Cowboy (MADVILLAIN)
13. The Mask ft. Ghostface Killah (Danger Doom)
14. Rock Co Kane Flow - De La Soul ft. MF Doom
15. Hoe Cakes
16. America's Most Blunted (MADVILLAIN)
17. A Dead Mouse (Viktor Vaughn)
18. I Hear Voices Pt. 1

It should have all been so different. In '93 DJ Subroc, producer for KMD gets hit by a car and dies. Elektra drop KMD and refuse to release one of the greatest hip-hop albums of the nineties while Zev Lov X - Subroc's brother - is in mourning because of the very controversial cover. Zev disappears, rumours circulate of him getting a drinking problem and becoming homeless. God knows what happened to the other MC in the group, Onyx the Birthstone Kid.

But Bobbito, the blessed Bobbito, noticed his absence. He tracked him down, hearing of someone performing with ladies tights over his head at open mics to cover the wounds the record industry had given him, or so he says. He gave him a place to crash, supposedly, and free creative control, as long as he got focussed again, on his small imprint Fondle 'Em. And then bam! Three singles, out of nowhere, enough money for some booze and a Russell Crowe replica Gladiator mask and Daniel Dumile is back with a vengeance. Making his own beats with samples recorded off the radio, or so the legend says, only half remembering what Subroc taught him lending itself to some very strange sounds unlike anything else out there. Rhymes in the third person because of a lost identity leading to alter egos out the wazoo. Confusion rains supreme, a supervillain wouldn't have it any other way.

After a prolific couple of years releasing countless albums in numerous personas with different collaboraters, DOOM was finally recognised as one of the best. I even read an article in HHC (r.i.p.) where Kanye spends the whole time waxing lyrical about how he wished he had the guy's talent. Black Bastards finally got a release. Madvillainy and Fishscale was a huge critical success and he was even sponsered by a tv station for an album. He defeated the system that once tore him apart. So it's unsurprising that he has gone back into the shadows, waiting for a cause to take up once again - only releasing Born Like This in the past couple years. It's a terrific record, they all are bar Viktor Vaughn II, but it is obvious the supervillain needs a hero to destroy once again.

― Tsuga, Tuesday, October 12, 2010 2:02 AM (2 days ago) Bookmark

Fine, you can do the Talk Talk one. I had a damn good best-of mix going on. It was "Talk Talk Talk Talk" (Streets Various Artists compilation), "Talk Talk" (The Party's Over), "Dum Dum Girl", "Such a Shame", and "It's My Life" (It's My Life), "Why Is It So Hard?" (It's My Mix and Asides, Besides), "Life's What You Make It" (The Colour of Spring), "Happiness Is Easy (12" mix)" (B-Side to "I Don't Believe in You" and Asides, Besides), "Tomorrow Started (live)" (London '86), "I Believe in You" (Spirit of Eden), "After the Flood" and "New Grass" (Laughing Stock) and the Liquid People Vocal remix of "It's My Life." But discovering the Liquid People track inspired me to find other remixes and I couldn't find any, and the "Tomorrow Started" live version inspired me to find other live versions and I couldn't find any of those either, but on the other hand I didn't want to turn it in with "I Believe in You" and "Life's What You Make It" and "New Grass," which everybody on ILM's already heard and praised 1,000 times before, and plus I couldn't make a decent album cover, and I don't have Spotify, so eventually I just gave up. Hopefully you can do better. Best of luck!

That Motorpsycho Anthology is great! Nice choices, Captain Lorax, though why no stuff from their latest two or three albums (some songs from Little Lucid Moments would've fit neatly om the Motorpepics album, like Alchemyst)?

But hey, I really like it.

― Marty Innerlogic, Thursday, 14 October 2010 08:28 (2 years ago) Permalink

Thanks Marty. I think the Anthology rocks as well :)
I highly recommend anyone to test drive Motorpsycho

Interesting that you mentioned The Alchemyst. That is my favorite song off of Little Lucid Moments. Judging by reviews most people prefer one of the first two songs. I didn't have space for The Alchemyst

I found myself craving psychedelic stuff a few days ago so I made a third disc just for fun. I think I'll eventually make a 4th disc for completeness sake (and include a couple epics that weren't able to fit on the second disc). However the first two discs are the still going to be the meat of my Anthology.

Disc 3 - MotorPsych (thus continuing the trend of crappy under-thought disc names that aren't entirely accurate)

1. Feel (Timothy's Monster 1994)
2. Watersound (Timothy's Monster 1994)
3. Sancho Says (Black Hole/Blank Canvas 2006)
4. Blindfolded (Phanerothyme 2001)
5. On My Pillow (Timothy's Monster 1994)
6. Pale Day (The Nerve Tattoo EP 1995)
7. Close Your Eyes (Heavy Metal Fruit 2010)
8. Mr. Butterclut Goes To The Fair, Meets The Viscount, And That's Where We Leave Him At The End Of This Episode... (Timothy's Monster Deluxe Edition 2010)
9. Snafu (Serpentine EP 2003)
10. The Slow Phaseout (Phanerothyme 2001)
11. Albuquerque (The Tussler 2003 remaster (I wouldn't have included this if I had known it was a cover))
12. Abendspaziergang (Walkin' With J EP 1999)
13. Sideway Spiral, Pt. 1 (Angels and Daemons at Play 1997)
14. KR-3 (Walkin' With J EP 1999)
15. Tuesday Morning (Demon Box 1993)
16. Timothy in the Magic City (Various We'll sail out far...maybe a little too far... 1997)
17. 30/30 (Let Them Eat Cake 2000)
18. Mad Sun (The Nerve Tattoo EP 1995)
19. The 29th Bulletin (Black Hole/Blank Canvas 2006)

Somehow 'Child of the Future' songs got scrapped but I wouldn't mind subbing Albuquerque for The Ozzylot (Hidden in a Girl). I'll do so on Grooveshark
Divshare, Grooveshark (seems to be streaming better for my 256kb mp3s lately)

It gets slagged off, that period, but the whole reason it failed was down to the record company going bust.

Yes, that only happened some years after she'd left, but it does seem that the slide was happening already.

It started fine with "Confide", number 2, but the rest seemed to get underpowered marketing...

Want to prove to the world that there's more to Daler than just "Tunak Tunak Tun"!? Okay, I left it on in the end, but seriously, paring this all down to an hour, you get a pretty amazing set. Daler Mehndi takes you to the clouds and back to the safety of your own home. Since his newer stuff is less well known I decided to start with that, then end with some real classic tunes.

1. Bhootiye (2011)
2. Jogi (Tumba version) (2011)
3. Koi Dheere Dheere (2007)
4. Rang de Basanti (2008)
5. Kach Tutt Gayi (2007)
6. Patti Pudina (2001)
7. Boom Boom (2000)
8. Hum Tere Hi Deewane Hain (2000) (gettin into some Daler slowjams now)
9. Yug Beet Gaye (1997)
10. Bolo Ta Ra Ra (1995)
11. Dil Mera Nal Nal Nal (1995)
12. Tunak Tunak Tun (1998)

All of these tracks are great and I stand behind every one. He's definitely done a lot more great material than this but for approximately 60 minutes I couldn't get it any better!

Ooh, I'd like to see that - I'm actually not that familiar with the ins and outs of their catalogue, but I like what I know (and obviously love a lot of related bands).

5. In Two Minds (Art Bears, Hopes and Fears, 1978)

Too bad Spotify has no ReR stuff.
