Borbetomagus- songs our mother taught us (agaric)
amm- generatative themes (matchless)

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 6 June 2003 07:43 (twenty-three years ago)

i was about to say, "how's that new borbetomagus album." but i'm guessing it sounds like borbetomagus.

― your null fame (yournullfame), Friday, 6 June 2003 09:54 (twenty-three years ago)

w/ borb every record is 'the same' and yet 'different': a cliche but kind of true here. their collective playing does go through a bit of a change i'd say. i need to spend more time with it to say whether its great or not (i'm not sure).

anyway: null, ans my borb thread from a couple of days ago:

― summerslastsound, Wednesday, 11 June 2003 15:30 (twenty-three years ago)

130?
go on!

― willem (willem), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 17:11 (twenty-three years ago)

I have to say I am always very impressed with your hauls, Summers! So what is all this anyway, just a place where a bunch of returns come back?

Most recent would be the 8 CDR Private Tapes special issue from Kawabata.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 17:17 (twenty-three years ago)

mostly eBay and dogged stalk-and-grab mailorder activity, with a generous sampling of promos courtesy of friends on high. but i owe this last hefty haul to a drizzly afternoon spent combing the shelves of an actual indie-distro warehouse, breathing in glorious lungfuls of actual indie-distro warehouse dust, plucking one-offs and snatching returns from the brink of supposed oblivion. a rare treat. of course i'll (literally) be paying for the pleasure for months on end. but as long as we only live once, might as well do it all in caps.

― summerslastsound, Wednesday, 11 June 2003 17:56 (twenty-three years ago)

Well done, sir. I know the feeling. :-)

The Cure Trilogy DVD
Serart s/t CD
Radiohead Hail to the Thief CD

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 19:04 (twenty-three years ago)

Borrowed from the library:

Duke Ellington: Far Eastern Suite
Coltrane/Olatunji concert
Merle Haggard: The Peer Sessions

Haven't listened to any of them completely so far, and none of them are things I particularly want to listen to at the moment.

I also borrowed a handful of samplers from magazines and so forth, mostly divided between electronic dance (incl. IDM) stuff (just so I can connect names and sounds) and "world music." None of it very inspiring, but I guess that's what happens when you listen to things because they happen to be there (and you want to put off buying more CDs), rather than because you seriously expect to enjoy them.

― Rockist Scientist, Wednesday, 11 June 2003 22:56 (twenty-three years ago)

Over the last month or so:

The Aluminum Group, Happyness
Steely Dan, Aja

hmm, yesterday i picked up

john fahey - old fashioned love (love this)

pernice brothers - yours, mine, and ours (first time ive actually bought one of their records, after a number of recommendations in their direction. i think im liking it, its growing on me. certainly a fair bit of smiths/morrissey influence (who i love) going on, and some cure and new order too, but its got more of a rootsy drive to it, more twangy, so it sounds kinda odd. i think its good though)

i wanted to buy the new nina nastasia as well, cos i really liked her last one and her john peel sessions, but it doesnt seem to be out here yet.

i held off buying "hail to the thief", im not sure i really need another radiohead album in my life right now.

― Bob Shaw (Bob Shaw), Thursday, 12 June 2003 15:21 (twenty-three years ago)

Tim, I really like Aluminum Group's Happyness album -- though it's the first thing I've heard by them (I was tipped to it by a post here on ILM, can't remember whose). I'd say musically a good comparison is China Crisis or some other light, vaguely jazzy synth-pop -- it *feels* sort of techy, but less in the beats than a vague shimmer around the periphery. It reminds me a little of Gaucho-era Steely Dan or Fagen's Nightfly, though I think that's got as much to do with the lyrics as the music. I turned a friend on to it a few weeks ago, and his four-word summary was "deceivingly layered, literate, timely." Worth checking out...

― Sean Thomas (sgthomas), Thursday, 12 June 2003 15:30 (twenty-three years ago)

i need help .. instead i find this place and now i need more.
haha. yes, that's how this thread works, doesn't it...?

Autopsy - Severed Survival rerelease

now that's good eatin'. does it have any bonus tracks?

― your null fame (yournullfame), Friday, 13 June 2003 14:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, three:
"Funereality", "Destined to fester" and "In the grip of winter"
And for some reason it's remastered too!
I haven't listened to it yet, so I don't know if those three songs are some rare versions, or if they've just for some reason have put the Mental Funeral and Acts Of The Unspeakable version on here. (I guess two of them might be from the Retribution for the dead EP?`)

Remind me not to get the rerelease of Mental Funeral, as there's no way they can improve the sound on that.
