I commited major self-indulgence at the local record shop today. Sorry, too lazy to share links, but I would like to spread my enthusiasm for the two Nick Cave reissues I spent way too much coin on today: MURDER BALLADS and FROM HER TO ETERNITY. Not the noisiest stuff in the collection, but lyrically, this stuff has a bit of an edge.
It's a major perk of the job and little beats 'Teardrop' by Massive Attack thro' any big sound system , makes your eyes wobble.
First weekend of the 2016 Six-Nations Rugby,
so here's the games in an 'avant weird' match-up ...

Until I got the two Godz albums I had Amon Duul's "Experimente" pencilled in as the top contender in "Most Likely to Clear a Room" category.

But this really doesn't sound that much different than the Boggs, a group that enjoyed a brief vogue at the turn of the century.
I can't find anything on YouTube but look around for "Whiskey and Rye" from the album "We Are the Boggs We Are." I played the crap out of this record back then.

^ Berberian Sound Studio is a cracker, it's worth a look at the directors first movie Katalin Varga ( great soundtrack on that too).
Revolver is probably my favorite Beatles album, McG. It still sounds as hip to me now as it did then. Lennon's songs especially are stunning.
The Shaggs — The band that asks the musical question "Do the Tropical Fish Have Doorknobs?"

The missing Link

Jean-Jaques Perrey - E.V.A.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dXTGN_St-ho
Gastr del Sol - Bauchredner
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkDESdfLJtA
Repetitive and entrancing and beautiful.
^ Damn that's brilliant , what a great band to see at 15yrs old WM
That whole Louisville-Chicago interlinking of musicians has produced some amazing stuff over the years.
This little number from The Bevis Frond sounds like it could be on the soundtrack of a 70s flick involving Dodge Chargers careening around Bangkok in search of the half-nekkid girl with the papers that the cheesy hero and the sinister Chinese guys desperately need to either prevent or foment world collapse.

*****Full Album Alert*****
Slint - Spiderland

I like Spiderland, but Tweez is weirder. Have you seen the Slint doc, Acton?
Is that the Lance Bangs film that came with the re-issue box set of Spiderland ?
If yes , then yeah ( often while stroking my copy of the now stupidly expensive box set above ).
I really dig 'Tweez' and like you say it's a bit weirder, I'm actually waiting for a new(ish) Japanese vinyl edition to arrive.
