Do they have any true sympho?

Sympho is the best test. And olympho.

Peter Nichols is unique and never tried to sound anything like Keeper Rabial or anyone or like. The very definition of a creatively up-front singer of fierce...

What's truly strange about that performance is that it's probably her single finest appearance in a rock-related setting -at all-, and very few would object.

The best vocal performance of unique quality during the 70s.:

Especially Smak from Yugoslavia, Cock from Mongolia and Dick from Madagascar were my ultimate choices during the phase September-November 1977.

Ok, so one doesn't truly fit. Though it should have.

Sad to hear this.

Although not as ubiquitous in British 70s folk-rock quarters as Dave Mattacks, some of his finest performances were in the best known moments of it.

I feel like needing to know for absolute certain who was the cunt and who was not that.



You can hardly even 'listen' as such to Earthbound, as it's somewhat devoid-of-feature relative to...

Even at my most panegyrical SB commitment, I could always live without MR - although I came into folds of fandom by way of H&H, which I purchased at 11 y.o. during autumn of 1982 after having...

Good lil' flick on Tommy there!

It's still a great album, but essentially an elaboration on already existing concepts of "frame music" as asserted in various genres of both pop/rock as well as...

Good post! Of course, Harley himself grew infamously tired of ubiquitous references to Bowie and Bolan, albeit acknowledging Reg Presley's and Ray Davies' obvious influence on not only his voice and...

Yes.

Just the other day I engaged in a strange conversation at work when this somewhat-just-above-middle-aged colleague of mine turned up at the desk of a girl who's now 25 and the sister of...

For pete's sake.

I really like that Italian release of Kornelyans' Not An Ordinary Life.

It's here; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irPekPIMufM

Strange and odd divide. I'm glad I kept that dodgy vinyl, though. I quite dig the way in which Øyvind Vilbo's voice keeps screeching,...

I agree with ol' Svet here. It's all good.

Just listened through the entire Crime on YT. I sold off -all- 'tramps except for the debut when I moved from Bergen to Oslo in 2002.

It's an absolutely fabulous piece of finely sophisticated and...

I'd agree, but this somehow never mattered anyway - and for the better of it. In order to implement the joint task-force summon-narrative vision of Foucault'ian nonsense, one has to agree with...

I actually saw this one a week ago. And he makes an extremely strong point, except that he really doesn't. Can't folks stop pretending that PE never happened and set things straight?

I only listen...

He was seminal to the Tasavallan sound during the band's heyday (1971-74) and particularly prominent on the classic Lambertland album, where you can hear his influences somewhat tirelessly (Ayler,...

QFT. :ipa

But then again there's preciously little left of feature journalism as "sanctioned" guild domain, not to mention the craft of formalized distinctions in critique of the arts and letters....

Damn.

Enough hipster juveniles will arguably recall the groove vector of "Halleluwah" for reasonable amounts of time to come, but they'll likely not bother to credit the band/Damo with its...

Supertampon?



Sad to see great ones go, but truth be told - as with their once-so-current colleagues of UK 70s art-pop/rock canon ELO, 10CC and more - greatness sides with the past.

I...

According to conventional and/or established wisdom, yeah - although that practically means little but whoever constitutes the punters of current hipsterocracy. Magma enjoyed considerable cult status...

The Underground Railroad were always superb, IMO. Both albums are really worthwhile.

Parmenter's Astray is a complete gem of a "progressive" singer-songwriter accomplishment, as I always heard it....

Don't worry; with tabula rasa-stuff like this it's all about the first time you encounter it!

Some decade back I played this to a very dear friend of mine at the time; a good guy who's a...

Robert's sincerely singular music will endure. Nothing else sounds anything like it, not even faintly. I'm saddened to learn of his state, although not too surprised; after all the man has...

"Djent as subgenre of metal" gets all too fluid and abstract. The purported 'genre itself' is indeed actually a subgenre of subgenre to the sub - i.e. an abbreviation of tech-metal which as such is...

Mestre was their 1973 debut and it's certainly quite ok for what it is, merging post-psych folky hard rock and more. but Ascencão E Queda from 1977 is an entirely different story; they basically...

^ I'll listen again, then.

No one except Dick Van Dyke cares about anything anyway.

First two albums are fine, albeit deliberately derivative of VdGG, Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Rare Bird, Quatermass, le Orme and more. "Racing the Horizon" from the debut RvM album is a certified...

Good call. Some more here:

Indian Summer is good. I could probably live without the clunky "Wish I Had a Boat" and the somewhat daft title track, but the remainder is excellent and sees the band move into post-rocky pop...

The very -master- of the craft, IMO. With Ballaud, distorted bass becomes a singular instrument in and of itself.



Absolutely - and he's definitely of the Ballaud-school! As was Tommy Atkins...

He was the band's essential member, and probably one of the very last -original- krautrock-musicians still active until fairly recently. Sad to see him go.

The past is closing.

I haven't seen 'Dragons Forever', 'Mr. Chips', 'Totoro' or 'A Child Is Waiting'.

The rest are a class selection of formidable film. Great taste!

I laughed on noting 'Tampopo' there - that scene...

I wonder if there are any undercover cop reports on the general state of -his- penis too.

Sol Niger Within by Fredrik Thordendahl's Special Defects. Albeit I -do- consider myself something of a Meshuggah fan.

It's better to believe all of it. That way you'll never risk being surprised at anything whatsoever.

He expressed the upmost respect for a number of contemporary musicians, including several of his own - although possibly not directly to their face. How can anyone aware of Zappa's lifechanging...

I don't think so.

A couple of weeks back at Riksarkivet (the National Archive of Norway) I gave a brief introduction on Zappa's particular approach to systematics in connection with a screening of...

We're in agreement - as almost always. Emergency Third Rail and Glass Palace are indispensable and priceless statements of an exact time and place in the US post-punk/rock chronicle; not duly "retro"...

To them, there isn't any such thing as a cultural standard of ideal to belong by which they experience something as subtle as the tiniest impulse to apologize for any ideologically...

This guy should make his music much more accessible.

Didn't work.

Sorry to hear that. The debut album is essentially the only one of theirs I truly enjoy, and it always were so.

In this superstar audience-roar film clip, Coverdale lets known how his girlfriend's got "huge knockers" - albeit's hidden underneath that incredibly genuine enthusiasm of flow from onlookers. It was...

I don't know if it's a knockoff or not, at least not right now, but what I -do- know is that the matter needs to be resolved, and pretty damn soon, or else it might reave havoc on the scene and the...

Good, sometimes solidly so. I enjoy the debut and Bicicleta the most. And their rep in not only Argentina but most of the South-Americas was certainly well deserved at the time, as was so much of...
