I listened to the Screen Prints album twice last night. I'm surprised by how much I like it. I was a bit disappointed by the Claim single with 'Mrs. Shepherd', inevitable really considering what I'd heard about it. I turned down the treble on the stereo and it sounded better. I think I just need to give it more time. The other single turned out not to be available. On the Hopkirk & Lee thread, Keith said, "they had that relaxed way with a pop song," which is just right for the ep. I'm curious about which songs he likes.

5. Forever Breathes The Lonely Word lp (Felt) - I'm amazed I found this!
4a. Miss America cd (Mary Margaret O'Hara)
4b. Facing You cd (Keith Jarrett) - for my parents
4 purchased with a gift certificate I got from my brother last Christmas

McClusky >any good???

Yep. Because the songs are short and punchy.

― Curt, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I think I was expecting something more from the McClusky...sounds very much like Pixies and Jesus Lizard in a head-on collision, with Johnny Rotten occasionally taking the mic. It's interesting, but it's probably gonna need more time to grow on me.

― Sean Carruthers, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

* Masters of the Hemisphere - Celebrate a dark anniversary
* Blondie - Plastic Letters
* Modest Mouse - Sadsappysucker

Farben - Texstar
How is this, Andy? Is this a 12-inch? Not too familar w/ his Farben stuff. We should really start a new thread next time someone wants to post....this is getting unweildy.

― Mark, Thursday, 2 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

We shd start a 2nd thread on the 7th.

Textstar is a comp of the Klang Elektronik singles. I like the Farben material more than Jelinek and Gramm -- these are his most ornate and dubby productions. A different vinyl-only delux pkg called Starbox just came out too.

― Andy K, Thursday, 2 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yesterday I pre-ordered (via CD-Wow) the two new Tom Waits albums, and bought Tamla Motown: Big Hits And Hard To Find Classics, Intelligence And Sacrifice by Alec Empire and 2 Many DJ's by Soulwax.

Ned, the Luv CDs - do you mean the Dutch band?

― nathalie, Friday, 3 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I haven't had the chance to listen to all of them yet, it being finals week and all... but FUCKING AYE the Soft Cell is some great stuff! "Sex Dwarf" knocks my brain outta my ear! I really like the ABC I listened to, too, though some friends were over and I didn't have it very loud. I love that sort of production so much. I can't wait to listen to the stuff in more depth, and I can't wait to hear the Simple Minds - maybe I'll put it on tonight.

― Clarke B., Friday, 3 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)
