Haven't listened to punk in years but this album is great.

They're one of the highlights of our local music scene for sure. Different and good.

Speaking of local favourites and pop:

Can't stand Drake, but Austra are passable I think.

Is that George from Alexisonfire doing the vocals on the Other Shoe? Sounds similar.

Reasons to be Cheerful. Love it.

Yeah 🙂

Tony Montana

What do people make of the grammy winners? Adele is smashing it.

Saw Silver Alert (Jim Sclavunos from the Bad Seeds / Grinderman and his offsider) do an improvised score to a hacked-up version of Murnau's Faust at the local arts festival.

The gig consisted largely of improvised bowing of waterphones and cymbal smashing

over incredibly loud, distorted pedal-operated synth bass. Pretty insane. Murnau's Faust has some amazing shots as well, I was surprised I haven't heard more about it in the past. Oh and there were nude dancers.

Experientially I would say this is about as close as one can get to a 1980 Bauhaus gig nowadays. I'm sure some of the old school goths in the audience were messing their pants.

Despite not arriving on stage till 10, Ghostpoet went down a storm in Camden last night. He'll be doing some excellent live shows when he gets some more material together.

Don Pacifico

Been hearing some hype about him. Will have to check him out.

James

He's playing Leicester tomorrow, but unfortunately I cannot attend. His album is definitely worth a listen, Don.

See that, makes more sense and that makes it funnier. Think it through Dules. Why would BSD have their pitbulls on their mp3?

😆 but I think the fact that it didn't really make perfect sense made it funny qs

Kicking bass. Melancholy vocal. Average rap.
All together - top tune.

Captain

Cudi's own stuff is similar but better.

y va marquer

It's more the sample mixed with the slightly twangy music mixed with the bass that I like most, as opposed to the Cudi part 🙂
Heard it when I was out last night and it's been stuck in my head since then.

Captain

Well obviously his 'rapping' is similar! 😆

I meant the whole package.

New Dirty Three album 'Toward The Low Sun' streaming online at The Vine here, in its entirety.

Direct player link here.

First couple of tracks are brilliant. I rest my case that Warren Ellis is wasted in Grinderman.
