The Beauty of Washing Lines

Soul feeling a little blackened? Lost hope? Can't see the good for all the bad?

 

This is a good place to visit (I love it there).

and here is the type of thing you will encounter-

 

 

On a Skag Breeze

She stots in a

Figure-tight, hugging

Pocket-battleship, red

Dress with the family

Around Lidl car-park then

Back again

The smell the smell

Of skag on their breeze

-They`re in their borrowed morning birthday suit

Top hats, bow ties shewiffy

The platinum blonde extensions bride is mobbing

Her mates

Skag stink on the breeze

Skag stink skag stink on their breeze

The sexy teenager cousinish not bridesmaid stands

On impossibly high

Move the mountain to Mohammed

Heels,

White legs untanned, lovely

Skag, skag

Skag on their breeze

Across Lidl carpark

Amongst the SAT-NAV

Shoppers and back

Again.

Great-granny goes past

On her mobility

Fag-mouth lit up look no hands!

Skag skag wedding

All the best

Skag skag on their breeze

Generationals - Say When

I don't normally post re the video rather than the music but I couldn't take my eyes off this one. Dores is amazing but it's really the camerawork that makes this.

The Toby Mearing Radio Show 26th August 2013

The Toby Mearing Radio Show 26th August 2013 by Toby Mearing on Mixcloud

Nels Cline - Rig Rundown

Nels is a beautiful player, and turns out to be a lovely guy, generous and this is a damn masterclass, especially in pedal-use. Forget Wilco - go listen to his own stuff - he's an original and not afraid to devastate his tone with effects.

There is another Toby that I locked in a room when I was a kid. He didn't get out when I became an adult either, but people often heard him calling through the keyhole. I just lurched on. The room moved further away and the door grew to monstrous proportions. He was still calling out though, ideas and stuff, and curiously, the further away the room flew, the louder he became. And people also obser...ved that I couldn't sit down - I've never been able to...

...and then that room stopped moving away, and started to come back...

It's coming back now.

Well as I've gotten older I have realised with growing dread that he's my twin. I realised that, when I die, I was gonna have to watch him die too, in that fucking room. I couldn't face the horror of wanting to open the door then, but having grown so old that I didn't have the strength left.

So I let him out.

He's in my beard. I think that's why it exploded. He's the one writing the songs, and he is the happy lunatic that presents the radio shows. He's got a crush on a lady now too ha ha silly sod.

So now as I sit on my beaten-metal throne petrified and atrophied, it is comforting to watch the little crittur flyin around building his little dream-machines

I'm glad he's out.

Idea

Right I have a solution. We've got loads of unemployed people who are, according to ian duncan smith, all cheating scumbags. Well I know what we can do with them. Vote them into parliament at the next general election - ids IS a cheating scumbag! The only qualification for being an mp seems to be that you ARE a cheating scumbag. So job-centres just need to pay the fees to let the unemployed stand next election and we can vote them all in. Hey the worst that can happen is what we have now - cheating scumbags. But if our cheating scumbags are wrong and, as I have found, the unemployed are mainly decent intelligent people, it's a win win win situation. No need to thank me folks I'm an ideas kinda guy

Purson - excellent live vid

I wasn't gonna post this because it is a bit 'Rosalie-centric' but actually it works...it really works. Well done Southend Sites Photography.

Louie Bluie

Ladies and Gentlemen meet Howard (not Louis) Armstrong. He started playing String Blues in the 1930s and he and his friends are INCREDIBLE characters. I think this was director Terry Zwigoff's first documentary, and he clearly knew he'd found a walking one-man-show in Howard. What you get here is just over an hour in his company as he tells tall-tails; fascinating stories; bullshits; banters with his friends; and visits amazing folk from his career. Every 3 to 5 minutes these old coots start playing and that's when the joking stops - lethal string blues players with country, gospel, bluegrass and all sorts of other music, influences or influenced by them. They rock HARD. Great characters; great stories; hilarious joking; and awesome music. One of the best documentaries I've seen.

King Krule

Easy easy, well I usually detest this affectation-rain-broked-conurbation-english-media-safe-box-ticked-shit...but this one detained me

Misunderstanding

just walking home and some ne'er-do-wells are sitting on the pavement blocking it, so I walked past in the road and received the standard issue glares. a little further along I crossed over onto the other side and was stopped by a little old indian lady. she was scared and said they had been abusive to her and she was terrified of walking past them again So I offered to walk her home. Adopted my ...'fierce hells angel' gait and away we went. She was really really scared and I had to usher her across the road, toward them, before a surrey-driver nearly mowed her down. sure enough, as we neared the ne'er-do-wells, they scurried off and i felt wretched - i'm no fan of 'anti-racist' control freak bastards, but when you come across that rare bit of real racist bullying, let's face it, it makes you feel ill. and then god looked down on my despair and said "Oi beardy, lighten up you shitbag" and Lo the ne'er-do-wells returned and said they were "so sorry" to the lady and one put her arm round her and another said "Sorry I was shouting at her (his partner) not you" and it was good, it was REALLY good...

Helene Greenwood

This lady makes kind kind music, riddled with originality and hooks. Her 'Break In' ep is easily one of the releases of the year. I cannot wait for the full album to be released. By the way that's Fraser (Ewens son) MacColl on guitar, and his arrangements of Helene's music so far have been majestic.

Matana Roberts

 

 

She's back. New album out 30th September on Constellation Records. COIN COIN Chapter Two: Mississippi Moonchile. She has a wonderful distinct womans voice, and I've loved her music since I first heard her years ago. Like many of my faves she's rooted in jazz but gone into a whole 'nother place.

 

 

Ufomammut tour

 

 

Tour deets with more dates to follow. It's a greatest hits show, and with these babies 'hits' means like asteroids hit planets!

The Blue Nile

I have listened to Blue Nile's Hats album more than 1000 times. Think it could be in excess of 2000 times. If you want to know how it feels to be in love; if you need to remember how it feels to be in love; or if everything's broken and you need to hear how hope sounds - Hats is THE go-to album/refuge. So this doc captures them a little later, touring America, and the carefully chosen words are superb, as is the jail sequence at the end. If you are an addict - this is unmissable. If you are a newbie - this is a wonderful 'best-of' + visuals. just in case you don't who they are....

Kate Bush - Documentary 1979

A genius holding together the production of a legendary show/tour in england in 1979, at the tender age of 21. Nationwide was a teatime magazine show, and yet another place where Kate had to field stupid questions from idiot journos. She always talked eloquently about the creative process, and it must have been so frustrating when some 'bloke' would do the 'when are you going to settle down get married and become a breeder' speech. Kate tended to have two ways of dealing with such stupidity - a frostiness that can shrivel genitalia to nothing OR ramping up her other-worldly beauty to a level where the male starts to disintegrate. There is some great, currently missing, footage of the latter taking place some years before this film, with a respected tv (w)anchor getting both barrels from Kate and almost vapourising ha ha

The six hour Flaming Lips song from the Strobo Trip EP - "Found a Star on the Ground"

Apparently a lot of folk didn't know about this one. It's really really good...honestly. One of the best things they've put out in a long time. and here's the Strobo Trip with which it came-

The Cramps - hot news

Incoming from Vengeance Records-

"Attention CRAMPS FIENDS!
Poison Ivy is currently working on their entire back catalog being reissued followed by a new album of unreleased recordings entitled Gravest Gravy, which is the entire Gravest Hits session. This material has never appeared on bootlegs and will blow minds. A four LP box of How To Make A Monster will follow that. And more will come thereafter. You've been warned..."

Rants of Chairman Tobo

there are a lot of lies being spread about the 'cost' of the welfare state. Please remember that 'the cost' includes the money that actually trickles down to the people who need it/medical care/education/dole, well YOU...and then there is the other IMMENSE cost of the beaurocracy who leech the bulk of the money. If I remember correctly 9 or 10 NHS trust beaurocrats built up pensions in excess of 1 million pounds in the last days of new labour, as did bbc people (yentob?), and I think some police beaurocrats did as well. Do you remember '10 managers for every 1 nurse'? disgraceful wasn't it? but blaming people in need of help for that seems...stupid?...really nasty and vicious?


Hang on £400 million to atos to throw disabled off benefits? Why don't we just EMPLOY the disabled using the £400 million, and use this new work force for something honest and decent and honourable...like investigating ATOS with a view to prosecuting them all and fines to the tune of, say, all of the money they've been paid + a punitive element on top for discrimination against the disabled? Ha ha just a thought...


"Mums selling sex to feed their children as benefit cuts hit Hulls poorest" - Police and Social workers need to go out; find these ladies; and then make the DWP give them enough fucking money to feed their fucking families. What in gods name is going on here? Billions pissed away to save the bastards that have caused this, and pre-victorian horrors re-introduced by a traitor-government that virtually no-one voted for!

The Lyres - Live in London

 

Incredible coup for Dirty Water Records. "Boston's Lyres are returning to Europe with their full Boston lineup for the first time in many years for only two gigs - London and Oslo. Garage Punk legend Jeff Conolly supported by original, brilliant drummer Paul Murphy, long-time Lyres guitarist Steve Aquino and Dave Szczepaniak on bass."

So where's the singer here hmmm



and this whole album is incredible

Eastroad - August Tour and new EP

 

Excellent Pop-Punk band that I've seen a few times now and always put on a good show. Hard-grafting and top chaps to boot. They've just released an EP so go check it out. They are gigging London and South East this month - keep your eyes peeled. Oh yeah and their fans are a great laugh - they're always there to rock. I recall seeing them play to an 'urban audience innit' and create a bloody great moshpit! Marvelous stuff.

33 Rose From The Abyss

33 Rose From The Abyss by Filthpig on Mixcloud

Two Hours of uber-leaden heaviosity from the always-reliable FilthPig - illuminati-hunter and DJ of all things Heavy, Industrial, and D'n'B! I can highly recommend all of his mixes (and they really are mixes - not computer created fakes) regardless of genre.

Gunslingers - 'Massacre-Rock Deviant Inquisitors'

Limited Edition one sided white vinyl 12" and DL Alchemical Freeform on Riot Season Records. A french garage-rock Amon Duul let rip for just under 17mins. First-take blasting by some premium quality scuzzers. Essence of original Texas Psych in there as well...

Unmissable Gig

 

British Noise-Rock majesty - they have completely crushed reality and time during the two recent concerts I've witnessed.

Wax Trax - The Documentary in production...can you help with material?

WaxTraxTrailer V1 from Cattivo on Vimeo.

”Regressive Films is super-psyched to be working on the Wax Trax! Records Documentary with Julia Nash. We have already conducted great interviews with Paul Barker (Ministry, RevCo), Chris Connelly (Ministry, RevCo), Richard 23 and Patrick Codenys (Front 242), En Esch (KMFDM), Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys, LARD), as well many of the store and label staff. We will be covering Wax Trax! owners/clairvoyants of cool, Jim Nash and Dannie Flesher’s early years in Kansas and Denver, to the opening of the legendary Chicago record store, the formation of the label, it’s success and eventual bankruptcy, and the lasting influence of Wax Trax! Records on the current music scene. If you have any film, video, photos, or stories you would like to contribute, please let us know. For now, check out the first trailer we’ve put together.”

Interesting little interview - I can't help but agree that the human league killed him ;-)

Humble Pie - Rockin the Filmore

All four shows complete from the Fillmore, mixed by Peter Frampton and Jerry Shirley. Out on Omnivore Recordings in October 2013. This was originally a live double album from 1971 but now you get all of the four concerts in one box - phew!

 

 

Purson - The Contract (Official Video just posted)

 

At last! The new video of the new single

OLD GREY WHISTLE TEST 1977 Bearsville Picnic

 

A time capsule. It's the year after Punk exploded and here is the hopelessly out-of-touch OGWT, with it's dreadful interviews and AOR-bias, being mocked mercilessly by American soft rockers...BUT killer performances by Foghat, Corky Laing and a fabulous prog-extravaganza from Utopia save the day. Mick Ronson and, years ahead of his time Todd Rundgren, try and put some meat on the 'interview bones'!
