What's the last al*** you have bought?

Sure, blame me for Hymie's Basement, but The Pernice Bros wasn't me, honest.

Viktor Vaughn

Not bad, but not MFDoom's best work either.

Alex, essential as in drop everything and buy today?

Mekon, will we see a review of Soul Position?

Mike, I agree. King Geedorah is better IMO.

For my nieces who love B. Spears and 60's rock I bought for birthdays the Beatles' Rubber Soul and Sgt. Peppers then this Christmas Simon & Garfunkle Greatest Hits and PS's Rhymin Simon. Great tunes on the last one, enough to capture their short attention spans I hope. Definitly trying to tilt their taste toward good musicians. When they are 16 or so I'll try some Joni Mitchel and Emmy Lou Harris.

Life is analogue

I'd like to see that version. Is he chased from pool to pool by Sheriff Buford T. Justice?

On vinyl from BHF:-
Manhattan Transfer Pastiche (orange vinyl nice!)
Simple Minds Sparkle in the Rain
Spandau Ballet True

Howard

'Maria La O' by Ernesto Lecuona - A Cuban composer, I came across a short piece by him on R3 one morning last week - it will give you a lift!

2 more from BHF, Windsor this time:-
Head First & Abominog - Uriah Heep

Howard

[This message was edited by BigH47 on SUNDAY 21 December 2003 at 23:59.]

Howard,

Are you on a tour of all the BHF shops in the South East?

DS

OTD - N-Joi - Papillon (Pump Panel remix)

David,

Can you give a bit more info about the Telex/Sparks album - and is it as good as the Les Rita Mitsouko collaboration of a few years back?

throb

DS
Just happened to be in a couple of different places lately. It was a surprise that BHF was open on a Sunday.

Howard

Throb,

The album is called 'Sex' on PVC records Cat. no. PVC8910.

Tracks are:

Brainwash
Drama, Drama
Haven't we met somewhere before
Long Holiday
The Man with the answer
Carbon Copy
Exercise is good for you
#Dream.o.mat
Sigmund Freud's party

Words by R&R Mael, Music by M. Moers, with D. Lackman and M. Moulin.

I am not familiar with the other album you mention?

Now are there any more remixes of Twist a St. Topez around - that must be due for a re-interpretation ?

DS

OTD - The Ones - Superstar (Smith & Selway mix)

This week's purchases:

A CD :

Khan & Walker - Empire State Buildin

A record:

Tomkraft - Brainwashed (DJ Choose & F / Azure mixes)

DS

OTD - Slam - Stepback (Smith & Selway remix)

Gosh, David - I'm humbled that I've got something you haven't heard of!!

http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000005N05/qid=1072144131/sr=1-8/ref=sr_1_2_8/402-9391773-8399368

will give you all you need to know, with samples too - a shame that 'Singing In The Shower' or 'Live In Las Vegas' [best tracks] aren't available for listening. 'Hip Kit' gives you a flavour though, even if it does fade just as it gets good.

Cute French duo, videos by Pierre et Gilles, catchy synthy quirkiness with added Maels - you can't go wrong, really - just up your street. Eurofabness incarnate.

Did you catch Telex's Eurovision entry, 'Eurovision' [what else] at the time? Got a reaction a bit like Springtime For Hitler. Priceless.

Will check out 'Sex'. Sounds irresistible.

throb

Throb,

If you haven't tried Sex, I would recommend the experience.

DS

OTD - Brother Brown - Catch a star (Selway remix)

Just added Psychedelic Warriors - White Zone

Spacey, ambient rock - awsome stuff - it hasn't left the cd player for the last two nights.

Mike

Live at Pompeii (Directors Cut) Pink Floyd DVD

---

This release alone was one of the reasons why I had a 'widescreen' (well, only 42 inches of plasma) installed a couple weeks ago, replete with some Arcam electronics and Linn speakers-in a separate room from the Naim one. I know what I will be doing at midnight on NY eve- 'Clockwork Orange' comes on in HDTV; not to be missed.

"Throbbing Gristle - 2nd Annual Report
[This is the 1979 Fetish Records version, with the whole of side 2 -
'After Cease to Exist' Soundtrack cut backwards]"

I own the regular, run of the mill version of this on vinyl and I think I've listened to it once in five years. I'm just wondering what the point of owning something pretty boring, except, er, recorded backwards is?

Tim

Todays purchases

Diva - Annie Lennox
