top of the morning to you all. so ive been listening to the new truckers for the past 24 hours and its awesome. i dont know if its any more uptempo than any of their other stuff, although brighter was pretty un-rocking as a whole. either way, yeah its great. here’s a short grant lee buffalo performance from the bbc on 5.17.96. at the time of its release, i didnt think much of their copperopolis, but in the past month or so i have really gotten into. im not sure what i didnt like about it when it was released?

1. intro
2. homespun
3. two & two
4. chat
5. the bridge
6. all that i have

honestly, i never got much into lush, but i had some friends, and people i have met along the way that were/are really into em. not too sure why either cause after listening to this, they sound like a band i could get into. maybe, ill go and check out their catalogue, which is only 3 records so it wont be all the hard. this is lush on french radios’ black sessions.

1. blackout
2. lit up
3. for love
4. the childcatcher
5. kiss chase
6. lovelife
7. desire lines
8. de-luxe

top of the mornin to you all. hope everyone had a lovely weeks end. mine was just fine… one of my favorite records of the 90’s is definitely primal scream’s vanshing point, and while i wouldnt put it as high as some of the classics that were born out of that decade, but definitely in my top 30. the record is a hot mess, but its a beautiful hot mess. if you’ve never heard it, it sounds as if the stones relied heavily on synthesizers, overdubs and samples. definitely worth checking out….

here is an fm broadcast of show from the glasgow barrowlands back in 98 that takes most of the setlist from said record.

1. out of the void
2. stuka
3. burning wheel
4. if they move kill em
5. rocks
6. star
7. come together
8. five years ahead of my time
9. higher than the sun
10. kowalski

hey, good morning. im out the door but wanted to post this cat power radio broadcast on brave new world in new york on 11.5.98. i have learned that this may not be the entire performance. gonna work on scoring the last two possible tracks, “back of your head,” and “nude as the news.” until then, you listen to elephant micah (see below) yet? really you should….

1. intro
2. american flag
3. interview
4. say
5. metal heart
6. interview
7. cross bones style

i know i am not telling most you pavement fans anything you dont already know, but outside bobby nastanovich’s musical life, which is limited now a days, he is very active in horse racing. while looking for pavement pics, i stumbled upon this picture of bobby which was attached to this semi-recent article about his involvement in the sport. fairly brief, but still an interesting read. i, by chance, ran into bobby @ arlington on my 30th birthday and i wish i can report that i played it cool, but i was pretty much a giddy fanboy. i dont think i was too over the top, but i didnt hide it very well either.

here is bobby and other guys playing @ melkweg, amsterdam, 2.3.94. its a fm broadcast.

all wrapped up

1. unfair
2. cut your hair
3. the green slide
4. heaven is a truck
5. stop breathing
6. hit the plane down
7. she believes
8. summer babe

thank you to everyone who has donated to the cause thus far. i was expecting nothing, to be honest, and you guys have been more than generous. thanks again!

i know i just did a oldham post last week, but you know me i’m mildly obsessive from time to time. here he is performing on 10.10.98 in mcminnville, or, kslc fm, a mere two days after his san fran, kusf broadcast.

the whole enchilada

1. intro
2. death to everyone
3. nomadic revery
4. a minor place
5. song for a new breed
6. madeline mary
7. raining in darling
8. another day full of dread
9. i am drinking again
10. apocalypse, no
11. outro

been listening to mr will oldham and his many monikers quite a bit lately. one thing i have come to realize about his music that i didnt when i started listening to him, many moons ago, is that while most of his songs sound absolutely dreadful and solemn they are actually quite uplifting, in a sense. just started to understand this about him and his work recently. anyone else get that same feeling?

here he is as will oldham performing on kusf-fm, san francisco on 10.8.98.

in rar format

1. song for the new breed
2. another day full of dread
3. ohio river boat song
4. three photographs
5. all babies
6. new gypsy
7. antagonism
8. marriage
9. nomadic revery

his most excellent, beware, was released yesterday via drag city.

here’s the video for “i am goodbye” which was directed by leif johnson, and edited by jennifer parsons.
