Hunters and Collector - C or D

yooooo can take yer postpunk obscurities and throw them down a well cuz the side two genius that is TALKING TO A STRANGER - SCREAM WHO - RUN RUN RUN is GODLY. never ceases to amaze me. from 1983 or whenever i first heard it umtil now. RUN RUN RUN is just...ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! i mean, i dig their stuff with conny plank (Jaws Of Life and Fireman's Curse) and even some of the later stuff (okay, i pretty much stopped listening after Human Frailty - which i would probably love if i still had a copy. loved it in 1986 anyway.) but that S/T album was the one they were meant to make. i feel like i've said all of this on ILM, but whenever i put this record on i love it so. why isn't their greatest record considered one of the great newwavepostpunkartrock albums evah? or is it? i don't think it is. TOWTRUCK!

"Talking to a Stranger" is a fucking AWESOME song. Awesome video clip as well (Russell Mulchahy clip I think?)

i can't help but think that the jaws of life would be a huge album for post-punk revival freaks if it were an instrumental album. or if they had a different vocalist...

i mean, conny plant, fat bass-lines. lots of cool musical ideas.

i still stand by what i said about the s/t album though. such a great album.

i take it back. the horns kinda ruin the jaws of life.

Always loved "Still Be Hanging Around." Not many singers have as angst-ridden a voice as Mark Seymour, which is why he's probably an acquired taste.

"The Slab" came up on shuffle on the drive home last night. So ridiculously kick-ass...
