sonic youth -- Cool Noise

http://www.coolnoise.co.uk/category/sonic-youth

July 10, 2009. The Eternal by Sonic Youth. 8212; @ 1:11 pm Comments (1). Did you spot what I was really saying in my review of Bill Callaghan’s album? Well, that might have been what I would have wanted to say about recent albums such as “Sonic Nurse” but the latest one, “The Eternal”, is just brilliant. Tracks such as What We Know. Are as good as anything Sonic Youth have done since “Daydream Nation”. I would rate Massage The History. Is more suited to whichever Lou Reed album it could have been on.

Varshons by The Lemonheads -- Cool Noise

http://www.coolnoise.co.uk/2009/08/18/varshons-by-the-lemonheads.html

August 18, 2009. Varshons by The Lemonheads. 8212; @ 12:17 pm Comments (0). The album is dominated by a Gram Parsons style (and starts with one of his song) but ranges into a vaguely psychedelic sound at times. The cover of Wire’s Fragile. Is very brave – it almost suceeds in humanising Wire’s characteristic detachment and adding a sort of acoustic grungey quality to the chorus. The GG Allin track Layin’ Up With Linda. What covers album wouldn’t be complete with a real stinkers. Dirty Robot. In the end, ...

smog -- Cool Noise

June 24, 2009. Filed under: bill callahan. 8212; @ 11:11 pm Comments (0). Smog/Bill Callahan first got me hooked when I heard the track Bathysphere. On hearing that the latest solo album by Smog’s Bill Callahan featured a return to use of strings and horns as adornment I decided to see what was going on now. The album Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle. Contains two stand out tracks that rate alongside the best that Smog ever did. All Thoughts Are Prey To Some Beast. Eid Ma Clack Shaw by Bill Callahan.

August 24, 2009. Filed under: gg allin. 8212; @ 2:33 pm Comments (0). As I mentioned in my review of Varshons, I needed to check out GG Allin after hearing the Layin’ Up With Linda. Track First was the Wikipedia article GG Allin. I urge you to follow the link and read the article because it is a fine example of just how far you live a life to the extremes.

June 18, 2009. As Bad As The Downloaders. Filed under: richard buckner. 8212; @ 11:42 pm Comments (0). I’ve not downloaded anything illegally but even so I am surely as guilty as the illegal downloaders. I just wish he had some t-shirts available on his website (currently being re-jigged) so that I could show my appreciation. I’m killing music…. Florence and The Machine. The Roe Family Singers.

The Resonance Association -- Cool Noise

June 9, 2009. Filed under: the resonance association. 8212; @ 10:07 pm Comments (0). I thought I’d share this video of The Resonance Association’s None More Evil. By The Residents and what if that band had developed their destructive tendencies rather than playing the (rather attractive) joke card. This is proof that Progressive music is alive and well and not an historical anomaly. The whole album is available for download for free (optional donation) on the link below. We Still Have The Stars.

The Farm by Dinosaur Jr. -- Cool Noise

http://www.coolnoise.co.uk/2009/07/17/the-farm-by-dinosaur-jr.html

July 17, 2009. The Farm by Dinosaur Jr. Filed under: dinosaur jr. 8212; @ 1:30 pm Comments (0). There’s No Here. There’s No Here by Dinosaur Jr. (Clip). One big difference between this line up and the original is that Lou Barlow is allowed to play two of his songs. – previously he had left the band to form Sebadoh to play his own material. I really don’t think it works because one track, Your Weather. Your Weather by Dinosaur Jr. (Clip). Mail (will not be published). Florence and The Machine.

June 17, 2009. Jeffrey Lewis & The Junkyard. Filed under: jeffrey lewis. 8212; @ 11:38 pm Comments (0). It’s a full band piece with drums, electric guitar, piano and horns and is less playful melodically than much of the album but that just makes it work beautifully as a ‘let’s freak out a bit’ kind of song.
