Eastern Dark - "Long Live The New Flesh"

― StanM (StanM), Friday, 29 July 2005 08:34 (eighteen years ago) link

the bad seed, yes.

'Dwarf on Dwarf' by the Fauves.

The greatest Aust band of all time.

― The Velvet Overlord (The Velvet Overlord), Friday, 29 July 2005 12:03 (eighteen years ago) link

hmm. i think the fauves have had their frankly excellent moments, but they can be extremely patchy

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 29 July 2005 12:07 (eighteen years ago) link

Sometimes patchy its true - but thats more accurate with their LP's. The EP's (or 4 song singles) are occasionally flawless.

How 'bout these too:

Everybodys getting a 3 piece together
Bigger than Tina ('specially the Doctor version)
Sunbury '97
Give up your Day Job
Kickin' on

Of course there's the Hardons, Asteroid B612, Meanies too, so...

― The Velvet Overlord (The Velvet Overlord), Friday, 29 July 2005 12:21 (eighteen years ago) link

the powdermonkeys, straight until morning

― haitch (haitch), Friday, 29 July 2005 12:49 (eighteen years ago) link

and lets not forget

Fur - Find What you like and let it kill you
The Crusaders - Middleage Rampage

DOn't go shopping when you're naked by Cam Bull... ok, so technically it was a cassingle, but it was around 7 minutes long so it counts.

scientists - blood red river. or lime spiders - slave girl. or, duh, as somebody pointed out on the album thread, ac/dc - '74 jailbreak, which didn't come out until 1984. or maybe one of those first two died pretty EPs (best music they ever made, i think.) (assuming they were in fact EPs, which I believe they were.) but probably ac/dc.

― xhuxk, Friday, 29 July 2005 16:56 (eighteen years ago) link

Slave Girl's a single, two songs don't make an EP!

― kit brash (kit brash), Friday, 29 July 2005 23:19 (eighteen years ago) link

oh hmm. nah, that's a compilation album. or something.

lucksmiths 'staring at the sky'

― keith m (keithmcl), Friday, 29 July 2005 23:24 (eighteen years ago) link

actually their 'a little distraction' ep is better

― keith m (keithmcl), Friday, 29 July 2005 23:25 (eighteen years ago) link

SPK "Meat Processing Section"

― donut ferry (donut), Friday, 29 July 2005 23:27 (eighteen years ago) link

(Fuck, that's 26 years ago! WHERE THE TIME GONE DUN'???)

>Slave Girl's a single, two songs don't make an EP!<

Oops, I meant the six-song EP that "Slave Girl" was the first cut on in the States (Big Time Records, 1986), which was actually called *Lime Spiders*, it turns out.

"Blue Eyes Deceiving Me"

― zebedee (zebedee), Saturday, 30 July 2005 17:12 (eighteen years ago) link

New Buffalo - About Last Night

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Sunday, 31 July 2005 00:08 (eighteen years ago) link

I came close to adding it at one point, but every time I think of something (like El Producto, seconds after I posted) I have to hold off because it's not actually as good as Species Deceases.

Magic Dirt - Life Was Better

"Slave Girl" is a fantastic song, though.

The Bad Seed thirded.

― The Gospel Comes to New Guinea (Eastern Mantra), Sunday, 31 July 2005 15:40 (eighteen years ago) link

Yep, probably 'Bad Seed', though I actually play the Moodists 'Engine Shudder' more.
