see the links in my signature for info on the band.

i only have a few vinyl artifacts left and a couple of hundred cds/cd-rs which i'm slowly whittling down (getting rid of ones burned from mp3 files). anything i do buy is converted to 320 mp3s and i try to source 320 mp3s for any downloads i do although i sometimes get flac/wav and transfer to 320. ...

well, i'm sure reynolds wasn't talking about savage's book which he certainly admires. i think he was reacting to the hundreds of other books about the timeframe which definitely lean towards the 'rock' axis.

i was playing in post-punk bands in sydney at the time and we didn't give it any name although we always saw the music we were making as different to punk. we used to go to all the same venues. we never had anything called hardcore in aus - that seemed a US specific term to us and later in the timef...

he's also started up again with new titles after a year's layoff

saw Rully Shabara and Wukir Suryadi at the Overground sub-festival in Melb last Sunday. Excellent mix of traditional song and non-western take on rock modes. photos here : http://www.messandnoise.com/galleries/4278353

thanks once again for making all this great music available.

more Fripp (with Eno) - "swastika girls" and "baby's on fire"
phil manzanera (with Eno) - on john cale's "gun"

cds 4 and 5 from the Henry Cow box set: Trondheim. 4 piece band backed with 2 hour tapes faded in and out by each member as they saw fit. it's a very stark version of HC and could easily be one of my favourites of their career.

I saw them last Sunday as part of the Australian ATP at Cockatoo Island, Sydney and they were absolutely stunning. The track was heavily percussive (late afternoon in full sunshine and outdoors so it needed to be full of impact). Buck was in a lather of sweat and the others bounced off his energy pe...

continued thanks for these. lots of great things posted this year.
