Nice recommendation cheers! I've just this past weekend started going to gigs again after attending only 2 last year, so feeling pretty restless. While I truly love The Crown it does get particularly packed and filthy, on the other hand things are probably about as low risk now as they're ever gonna be. I'm gonna have a serious think about it haha

that’s such a toughie ‘cause my music taste is all over the place 😅 An album I have been loving for the past year or so though is Life Without Buildings - Any Other City. The live version of the album, ‘Live at the Annandale Hotel’ is really good too! (I may even prefer it to the studio version) I think of them as Dry Cleanings “older brother/sister” if you know what I mean! 🤣 Please let me know if you have any recs, too. I’m always wanting to find new stuff!

This was a really good recommendation thanks! Took the plunge and went straight to the live album - it's a rare treat to have a band where that's your first exposure to them, and depending on the album it can really pay off. So I appreciate you giving me that opportunity. I had another look through your charts and there's a lot I think you'd enjoy. Given your eclectic taste I might be way off, but I'd be really interested to hear what you think of Melbourne-based band Moaning Lisa. I have a gut feeling you'll vibe with them. Their album is called "Something Like This But Not This".

Is 130,000 people small? In NZ we call that a city. Not that that's saying much. The lure of Melbourne is constant, especially for the music scene. The number of friends I've lost to that place...

LOL, thanks for the shout-- I just don't have much of a social life so I tend to spend most of my free time at home listening to music, reading and watching movies, and occasionally trying to write. Dead Can Dance is a really great group that has meant a lot to me over the years. What do you think of Dionysus, by the way?

I haven't actually listened to it yet! It's been a good decade or so since I went through my major DCD phase - they feature heavily in the soundtrack to my university years. I'll be listening to them for the rest of my life in phases. They're one of those bands that will stick with me for life, so it doesn't bother me to play the long game on any new releases. Now that you've brought it to my attention though, I'll give it a listen sooner rather than later and let you know!

Your shouts on the Dionysus page resonate with me a lot. This drive for convenience, social capital and capital in general in our lives, has infected the way we consume and create music (I'm not pointing any fingers, I am completely guilty of this too). How do we make sense of concepts like artistic integrity in the internet age of the algorithm and the instagram influencer? There are no easy answers, for now I think I just have to be grateful that I struggle with the questions, and so do others. That means it's not a lost cause.

Thanks! Yeah, Phoenix Foundation, Minuit, and Goldenhorse take me back to a time and place—Auckland in the early to mid-‘00s. I had Horsepower, Pegasus, and The 88 and used to thrash them pretty regularly. Also SJD and the late, great, and apparently forgotten Ghostplane. Good times.

woah just saw гражданская оборона in your charts, what do you think of them? as a russian i have a profound love for yegor letov's projects, although his art doesn't transcend the language barrier at all. i highly suggest their album "сто лет одиночества", the way i see it, it's the magnum opus of Letov. also much more interesting musically than гражданская оборона, it's very psychedelic and has that interesting mesh between 60's style psychedelia, 80's style post punk, and soviet music in general. lyrically it's something completely transcendent, although as i've said, the lyrics are pretty much impossible to translate from russian due to enormous amounts of metaphors, old words that might not even have a twin in english, colloqualisms, etc... it's sort of a psychedelic thunderstorm of images.

Oh god... I am right at the beginning of my journey into Russian music, so please don't judge me too harshly! I was watching some youtube videos on Russian language for beginners (I want to take proper classes when I can afford them), the creators used a lot of music to demonstrate and I just went from there. The richness of the alt-rock/counter-culture is so thrilling and of course intimidating. I've already gathered so much Russian music that I'll be busy for quite a while, once I get a new computer that is. I know I have my work cut out for me. ГрОб are easily the most compelling Russian band I've encountered this far, and their back catalogue is huge! And then, as you say, Letov's solo stuff on top of that, associated acts etc... Sonic Youth and The Fall suddenly seem so manageable in comparison, haha

You know, since my computer died I've taken to listening to Russian radio live streams just in the background (I still have rudimentary internet access through my phone)... most of the music stations I've come across are terrible, just like where I live - do you know of any good ones? I've mostly been listening to Эхо Москвы. Funny how soothing talkback radio can be when you have no idea what anybody is saying!

very interesting to hear a perspective like this on things, I agree with the "fake politeness" part - sometimes it is indeed much easier to deal with openly angry people than the passive-agressive-behind-a-polite-impression kind. if you see the dead c (no pun intended) live please write a report on what it was like. it's sort of amazing that it's been 30 years and they still keep casually getting stoned as hell and making fucked up noise, i mean, they must be in their late 50's by now? on the france part, it's a long story and it kind of happened against my will, so i'm not really happy here. don't know any french bands at all lol. and thanks for complimenting my taste! i also make music under the name "60circuits", would be cool if you check it out. it's hard to describe, but the last record is drugged-out shoegaze or something like that.

I'm sorry to hear you're not enthusiastic about France. I don't feel compelled to go there, either. Hopefully, though, you get something good out of the experience. I'll be sure to give you a Dead C report and I look forward to listening to your music in a couple of weeks when I will finally have the money for a new laptop.

Hex Enduction Hour - a classic but not in the sense where people endlessly, condescendingly moan about its "accessibility". For that angle, you want This Nation's Saving Grace. Just going in chronological order works particularly well with The Fall, too. I'm on edge currently because they just released a new album but my computer died so I can't download it... they are a seriously addictive band.

I've once heard a comparison between This Nation's Saving Grace and EVOL, is this true to some extent? Cause I love me some EVOL.

Eh, perhaps? Comparable in attitude or ideology, maybe? Straddling the line between conventional and experimental rock music. I've come to see both bands as idiosyncratic, I don't know if it's really worth drawing comparisons. It does seem that fans of one band are likely to be fans of the other.

Sources of the tracks? What do you mean?Just that they became trampled in the dustbowl of [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onRI2QtsZek]time[/url] alongside worst luck with labels/circulation, their own failed propellant but genius synthist and songwriting (and some awesomely terrible rhymes, all the better). I agree with the person on their last.fm page, they're pretty much the best thing I've ever heard. Ha. Here's a dig-up of their [url=http://web.archive.org/web/20110208111446/http://sophieandpeterjohnston.com/]old website[/url]. Best to just revel in the music.

Of course I'd like it to be awesome, but I'm afraid it's not. Didn't really like Reality either (sold it away few years after I bought it) and now this new, first single wasn't very interesting either :( Haven't heard the second new single.

It's all yours. Next time I'm in Auckland, hard drive is yours to ransack/pillage/reappropriate. Nothing terribly interesting or new on there for you, I'm sure. I'm finding the best way to fill my gaping musical want void is by creating the own sounds I want/need to hear/find so lacking elsewhere. This will eventually happen in earnest, and fully so.
