What Are You in Love with Now?

I'm currently very much feeling Grand Buffet's new album Cigarette Beach after seeing them at a very intimate last-minute surprise set this week. I don't feel as enthusiastic about it as I did about Sparkle Classic, but I've only given it two listens so far and I really, really loved Sparkle Classic.

Et vous?

― Paul (scifisoul), Thursday, 16 January 2003 13:52 (twenty-three years ago)

Geeta you need some Wham! in your life!

Nick - um, what to say really - it's an album with Kate Bush writing marvellously original and good pop songs on one side and on the other making a side-long Fairlight prog suite which is also excellent - and on my CD you then get some remixes and B-Sides and there's not even a duff one among those. One of Marcello's early Church of Me pieces talked about the second side in-depth - have a read of that.

― Tom (Groke), Thursday, 16 January 2003 13:54 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh and how could I deny Ted Nugent- Free for All

― brg30 (brg30), Friday, 17 January 2003 00:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Secret Machines- September 000
I just got it but it hasn't left my CD player. Tracks 1,2, 4 and 5 and especially infectious. There's nothing particularly fancy about this ep, but I can't get enough of it. It will definitely be at the top of my best of 2002 list when I finally digest all the albums I bought from last year.

The Microphones- The Glow Part 2
I always liked this but I just recently grew to love it.

Yume Bitsu- Golden Vessyl of Sound
Didn't think too much of this after the first few listens but now I love it. This will also be in my top 10 of 2002.

DAT Politics- Plugs Plus
Another one that took a while to set in. The adorable, joyous melody of Pie has been declared by my housemates and I the official theme song of my equally adorable and joyous cat.

― lou (lou), Friday, 17 January 2003 00:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Grupo Niche's song "Cielo De Tambores." It wouldn't be so great if it weren't for what it turns into after about three minutes. Heavy timbale comes in and the chorus does some sort of strange harmonic bend* which is typical in salsa. In a way I love it because it is what I found offputting about salsa a while back.

*Non-musician talk.

― Rockist Scientist, Friday, 17 January 2003 15:31 (twenty-three years ago)

interesting list, brg30. center of the universe is absolutely phantastic. howe is on top form on that album. he rocks harder than neil whose guitar noise/rock must have been a blueprint for center.

i am slowly getting lost in "100th window". it's a slow grower. not a lot happening at first listen. it's seems all to be about texture.

I was streaming Radio1 one night and heard these DJs Bobby Friction and Nihal playing some mean Asian inflected UK Garage and Hip Hop. I actually recorded the show to disc and listen to it all the time. The standout tracks are:

That early Scritti Politti compilation has not left my car stereo for the whole week, and the rest of the time nearly every song on there is simply caught in my head. It's past time for these to get properly re-released..

Haruomi Hosono eternally!

The Beatles, yet again! I listen to music digitally anyway, so I've sacrilegiously "spruced up" The White Album by putting Not Guilty at the beginning of Side C (I don't really care for Birthday so I don't play Side C often enough, because I don't really want to hear Birthday, but now it starts with Not Guilty so I'm golden) and Hey Jude at the beginning of Side D (I don't listen to their non-album singles often enough) and replacing the stringsy-Martiny Good Night with the "Take 10 With A Guitar Part From Take 5" version from the 2018 deluxe -- gives the whole affair a lovely, loose, chatty, "that was a lot, now let's unwind" ending...
