Yay!

My shopping from amazon arrived. I now have more new music. Our CD collection is getting quite big really. Any recommendations for other things I should have, based on:

The country music station plays soft

Oh, yeah, Cookingvinyl, a label set up to make LPs of modern music - hence the name. Then they sold out. Bastards! They stopped making LPs just after thier first LP, Cowpunks (which is A1 excellent, by the by). Still riles me.

'Ghosts of American Astronauts' was one of the songs I listened to on the day I chucked away my virginity, alongside Sebadoh's 'Rebound' & Faust's 'It's A Rainy Day, Sunshine Girl'.

That compilation has the video for Ghosts of American Astronauts on it. One of my favourite songs. The video features Sally Timms dancing around in a wedding dress and Jon Langford playing the cymbals with a pair of dustbin lids before it was fashionable.

Bloody hell.... Jon Langford, there's a name from my Leeds past! Cf. also Carlton B. Morgan (http://www.beefheart.com/zine/welshpsycho/).
But of course Bonnie was never a fashion victim; acid-crazed veteran Bristol rhubarbthrashers Stackridge (http://www.stackridge.com/) were doing something similar with dustbin lids years before.

There's a hole in your CD collection that's shaped just like Brian Wilson's "Smile". Also, a good blast of Godspeed You! Black Emperor wouldn't come amiss.

Nice to see all the proper goff stuff in place; the other day I found my old copy of the Sisters' Reptile House EP at the bottom of a filing cabinet. I put it on the B & O, turned the volume up and thought of you ;)

Aw don't, you'll make her cry! Seriously, L, you do need to hear GY!BE. Try 'Slow Riot For New Zero Kanada' for starters.

Has the record been breaking

Cracker, Kerosene Hat (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000000W4I).

Lest the record be broken

Camper Van Beethoven, 'Tusk' (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000083EBK)

Can't you make any sound?

[hoiho.livejournal.com]

Is that quite as silly as it sounds?

Re: Can't you make any sound?

[besskeloid.livejournal.com]

Not quite. E.g. the title track gets satisfyingly extended with all manner of wibble, but 'The Ledge' actually sound less mad than the original.

People who like the Divine Comedy tend to like the Magnetic Fields, IM(limited)E[1].

[1] That is, me. But some other people too.

Given pulp and blur, I've got to suggest Ian Dury (the very best of).

And given Dark Side, where is Dub Side?

PSB: Further listening 1988-1989 (for "the sound of the atom splitting") and 1990-1991 (for all sorts of interesting remixes).

Fleetwood Mac: Tusk.

Anything by Tom Waits. Anything by The The.

[ I think this is veering fast towards "things I like" instead of what was asked for so I'd better stop ]

for fans of the divine comedy
