it's the heat man. When it's hot, all you want to listen to is crushing distortion, grimy midrange garage and dirty funk riddims.

Additional notage:
3) Just A Souvenir is really quite weak. A few great tracks don't make up for the flatness of much of the rest of it. He's playing at making rock music, but seems to miss that bit of magic rock music needs to really get things going. It's more of an exercise than anything, and by ostensibly loosening himself up he seems to have made his most stilted album

4) the first 14 songs of 50,000 Fall Fans are absolutely brilliant. The rest.. not so much

8b) is Pat Metheny just Kenny G with a guitar? Probably

10c) I Would Die 4 U - what a song

3. s/t is better than cough. anyone who disagrees is probably just trying too hard.
6. my friend told me an awesome story about damo suzuki and it got me listening to tago mago. Aumgn made me feel a little ill.
7a. Just badly tagged spotify tracks. Really just the Lemuria side of Your Livingroom's All Over Me. I haven't listened to Kind of Like Spitting at all. I probably should.
9a. I'm really scared I won't be able to see him in Glasgow because I'll be working in Edinburgh. I'll find a way though. I WILL FIND A WAY.

2: listens to 'Buy' on spotify. I really need to get that album.

7a) Noise rock concept albums about sharks = win

7b) Canadian Inuk throat singer who adds modern experimental and pop flourishes to her music. Strange, but really good. She was one of the vocalists on Bjork's 'Medulla'.

4.a.) Unfortunately this has a woeful number of listens on Lastfm. "L.I.F.E" and "The Opening of the Cerebral Gate" are two of the best detroit/electro albums I've ever heard. Considering the history and that it was re-released on CD last year, I'm surprised.
9. Read that review of Foxbase Alpha that was linked on the Pitchfork retrospective of the album. I liked it.

1 - Burrrruhhh stick up, burruhh stick up.
7 - Adventuring is a good summer album.
8 - Best punk rock band ever.
9 - A nu-metal version of Guttermouth. They do a good cover of Stand And Deliver though.
10 - Whatever happened to Suburban Rhythm? Why did Ed and Scott quit? Please don't go, Suburban Rhythm, all the other bands are just shit.
