Day-to-day ramblings from the mind of Dave Lang. Wednesday, June 24, 2015. Turned 60 this week. If you want to get some real. Perspective on ageing punkers, consider this: Alan Vega. I had no idea until fairly recently that he was that. Old So when he saw his life-changing Stooges. Shows circa 1969/'70, the guy was already in his 30s. Doesn't make him any less awesome. However, what does. But big deal - I own a lot. Of records, and not all of 'em good. Still, I can crank up some primo 'fits on occasi...

Day-to-day ramblings from the mind of Dave Lang. Wednesday, November 27, 2013. The full movie is up: 1977's Roller Coaster. Let me give you a little bit of background: my brother and I were quietly, and then loudly, obsessed with this movie in the late '80s. My brother even named his band. After it. It had been on late-night TV a couple of times, we taped it on VHS and kept the copy for rainy days. There were many. Such days. We knew it wasn't really that. Holding the dramatic * cough. The other great el...

Lexicon Devil: THE ALLURE OF LEWIS
http://manwithoutshame.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-allure-of-lewis.html
Day-to-day ramblings from the mind of Dave Lang. Tuesday, April 21, 2015. THE ALLURE OF LEWIS. Oh dear god, it had. To happen. I have finally been swayed by the madness of Lewis. I was aware of the 'Lewis discovery' which label Light In The Attic had taken on in semi-recent times, but I hadn't paid much attention. Sounded like a possibly interesting story, but it also sounded like a load of utter collector nonsense best left for people who don't really listen. With a bounced cheque! Are albums of great b...

Day-to-day ramblings from the mind of Dave Lang. Sunday, November 23, 2014. IN PRAIZE OF CUNTZ. THE BAND. Excuse the cussing.I'll keep this brief. Melbourne's Cuntz. Have developed into a formidable outfit. I caught them play live in a city basement venue just two nights ago and reached that conclusion. Of course, I reached that conclusion 12 months ago, when I first heard their second LP, Solid Mates. On the estimable Homeless. Label (of course, I have. That, but I do also believe. Of that I am convince...

Day-to-day ramblings from the mind of Dave Lang. Tuesday, February 24, 2015. My introduction to the music of US '70s hard rock/heavy metal outfit, Mountain. Came through a predictably roundabout route via a ( fucking. SST record: The Blasting Concept II. On that very record from 1986 - and I believe I've repeated this story over the years to delighted rapture from no one - there was and is a cover of the Mountain arrangement of Jack Bruce. S ' Theme From An Imaginary Western. S post- Black Flag. In 1969,...

Day-to-day ramblings from the mind of Dave Lang. Monday, December 22, 2014. Another essential slice of West Coast post-punk given the reissue treatment c/o Superior Viaduct. Have I recently been employed as their international marketing and publicity manager? There's no hidden agenda here: just a desire for folks to get their listenin' gear 'round only the best sounds. 100 Flowers. Sole self-titled LP from 1983, originally released on their own Happy Squid imprint, is one such release. On the outfit here.

Day-to-day ramblings from the mind of Dave Lang. Monday, July 20, 2015. Have been making records for half-a-dozen years, and they make very fine grunge recordings. The band is essentially guitarist/singer/songwriter Mark Polizze and whomever else he feels like dragging along for the ride. I have been particularly taken with the band's last two full-lengthers on the Drag City label, 2013's Water On Mars. And last year's Weirdon. Man and do I need to revisit it? Nowhere, that's where. Grunge rules, man'...

Day-to-day ramblings from the mind of Dave Lang. Sunday, August 04, 2013. Yeah, I know: I heard. Has once again proven himself to be one of the more assholic individuals on earth and has decided to sue his ex-bandmates playing under the name FLAG. You know, the Black Flag. Related supergroup fans really. Want to see). For some reason, he's even roped Hank Rollins. All personal feelings aside - and I do. Feel that Ginn should simply stop embarrassing himself and drop the suit, pronto. Hold the rights to t...

Day-to-day ramblings from the mind of Dave Lang. Monday, January 26, 2015. The lowdown on a handful of releases which are being spun. In my bid to transform into Tommy Saxondale, I have been delving into the back catalogue (there is no 'current' catalogue to speak of) of British band of yore, Traffic. To Amon Duul 2. The group's Steve Winwood. Fresh from the Spencer Davis Group. At the time, later made a major name for himself as an AOR putz (though this. And his popularisation of the form). Present on 1...
