Mr. Scruff - Fish

[Russ]

I like to eat drugs..


Wow, this is a great blast from the past: David Moufang, who recorded as Deep Space Network with partner Jonas Grossmann, in his solo guise as Move D, with parts 1 and 2 of the "seminal" classic, "I've Been on Drugs" (love the Paris, Texas sample at the end).

God this band is so good.

[Russ]

Early OMD is awesome. I love the studio versions and this live stuff is great, but what's up with the singer? Was it in vogue to act like you were having a seizure on-stage?

But yeah, this reminds me how I used to love so many of their songs, especially the two you posted, and a couple more of my favorites: Joan of Arc and Maid of Orleans.

I think it was a requirement in the early '80s to dance like that.

I like just about all of their early stuff. Messages and Tesla Girls are also amazing.

Although I think my favorite 2 tracks are from the early mid-period: So in Love and If You Leave. Totally reminds me of my earliest Hollywood crush - Molly Ringwald.

And speaking of wildly-dancing bass players, nothing, and I mean nothing can ever touch:

Avila is the man.

Here's a couple of Brian Eno songs that I adore (ones that most here probably haven't heard as they're pretty rare). From the My Squelchy Life sessions:

Stiff

I wanna be thin
I wanna be small
I wanna be pinned up high and studied on the wall

I wanna be sold
I wanna be fit
I wanna be there.

I wanna be hooked
I wanna be base
I wanna be served up lightly dressed and on a plate

I wanna be cut
I wanna be dried
I wanna be there.

I wanna be changed
I wanna be rode
I wanna be made to handle very heavy loads

I wanna be his
I wanna be hers
I wanna be theirs
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh.

I wanna be held
I wanna be schooled
I wanna have every plea for mercy overruled

I wanna be milled
I wanna be rolled
I wanna be there.

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I wanna be there.

Some Words

Words, but nothing clear
What channel are you on?
It's hard to hear.
You speak to the world
From such a feeble system;
So... far away.

The thought, not falling
Just drifting in the early morning.
You pass from the world
Out to the Solar System
So... far away,
So... far away.

Whaddya think?

[D_Davis]

Some Words is one of my favorite Eno tracks. I really like the My Squelchy Life sessions. Can't believe the album was never properly released. Didn't he scrap this in favor of Drop or something?

[Russ]

Dunno the whole story behind it, but at the last minute, Eno pulled this pop masterpiece in favor of the more prog-sounding Nerve Net. I had always read that it had to do with some fueding with the label, tho about what, I have no idea.

[D_Davis]

Nerve Net, that's right. I think I read that Eno scrapped it because it sounded more like where he had been, and not where he was going, and he always liked his albums to be more forward pointing.

Broken Social Scene - Forgiveness Rock Record

Chock another one up for 2010. This is fast becoming an amazing year for indie rock.

Analog Workshop - Emporium of Broken Toys

Amazing.

[Winston*]

Listening to the latest Tallest Man on Earth Album. This guy's fake Bob Dylan voice is starting to sound a bit fake Jamaican.

[Derek]

Is his fake Jamaican as good as his fake Bob Dylan?

[SirNewt]

Maxinquaye - Tricky

Great album. Aftermath is friggin' amazing!

Heck yeah!

Have you ever listened to any of the sacred steel stuff?

[D_Davis]

This performance is amazing.

[Russ]

Wow, D. I had no idea steel could be such an integral part of gospel. Both those were of the "Jaw, meet floor" variety.

And Miss Lime Green with the Pink Hat has got it going on! Great stuff.

Yeah - It's kind of new, modern form of gospel. The Campbell Brothers and Robert Randolph & The Family Band are two of the most popular acts. They play it in a completely different style than country steel. Usually, rather than a volume pedal they use a wah pedal, and they also usually distort it.

And yes, Miss Lime Green is a total riot. This video always makes me smile.

Gospel is awesome. I need to listen to more.
