why is his guitar in standard tuning? why is he dressed like Simon LeBon? I've heard Jandek's guitar described as 'out of tune' on many occasions. After fiddling around a bit, I'm pretty sure that may not exactly be true, at least not all the time. 'De-tuned' would prolly be more accurate, but even...

I think that Dragnet through to Perverted by Language is the peak of The Fall albums. However some Fall albums not mentioned yet that I really love. Code : Selfish The Infotainment Scan Levitate (top 5 for me) The Marshall Suite The Unutterable Austurbaejarbio (A very good live album recorded in Ic...

The Who Sell Out

Recently (I think) released book that may also be of interest. : http://www.amazon.com/Mark-E-Smith-Fall ... 880&sr=1-6

Thanks for the recommendations on Fall books. I was wondering what was available.

"Lie Dream of Casino Soul"- had this on 7" single many years ago- great tune, non-LP, i think? yup. it was added to the 2004 Slates CD reissue though. it may be true that their albums are hard to dislike, but damn i wish Mark would just get the word on the street is that the new album is the best o...

I love this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuuwgmT3STM ("Smile" from 1983) And... I checked out a CD-box compilation of I believe BBC-recordings, and there was one 78/79-line-up with organ - I believe with Smith's then girl-friend playing it... that added something I liked. Yes, that was proll...

I've been listening to the Fall quite a bit of late due to a Fall thread on another blog that blew up & got some really interesting debate going. I've always liked them, but there were records I hadn't heard, particularly from the last decade or so. I figured it couldn't hurt to check 'em out. Well,...

Mississippi Fred McDowell Vol. II (Arhoolie via Mississippi Tapes)

Currently listening to a Mississippi Recs reissue of a sweet Mississippi Fred McDowell LP. Really good.

My crew likes Polysics.

The Fall - Imperial Wax Solvent followed by The Light User Syndrome

Harvey Milk - self-titled. They are just so amazingly good.

Mudd was pushed!!

I think it was Niwi.

I got here mostly from listening to college radio in Atlanta. WREK & WRAS have consistently had great shows focusing on avant-garde musics, as well as slightly off-kilter sounds in their "regular rotation."

Does anybody like Eyehategod or something similar? I was listening to them the other day and they sound better than Kyuss, Electric Wizard or other stoner metal bands. yes Eyehategod are mentioned (rather rudely) on the first page of this thread Kyuss were a great band- i saw them play live on thei...

They do have a very extensive discography. I've never been able to obtain some of them by any means. Its also all over the place, from minimalist drones to psych freak-out cacophony and other things too.
