twee october music

ps. yr cd you sent me wouldnt work jim!

that sucks jim. vent away young man. that is why ilx was created for.

As the weather turns darker, I always want to listen to darker music, and soon I find myself hitting goth. I associate twee with more spring and summer.

kate its the leaves turning brown and wearing jumpers and bad sweater coats from the seventies...!

people, something cinematic that would not go amiss in the movie the ice storm of something...

Ice Storm weather always makes me think of Broadcast.

i never listened to the concretes. i should care about new music but lately i've not.

ps jim - the trick is not to give up - you should give me a mp3 and i'll shove it up on the site and get a link going for you?

(Then again, I've been burned so many times by this lately that I'm the one who's cautious and not quite as committed in this band. I've just been screwed over by bandmates who think that wallpapering their house is more important than finishing an album that now I'm all "I'd sack you and replace you with a little silver box in a heartbeat!")

Anyway, sorry to derail, but my comiserations there. I'd like a link to that MP3 if there is one...

(How the heck do I get it onto my own computer so I don't destroy your bandwidth?)

thanks for all the support guys :)

linda lavin - theme from alice (1976 version)
nick garrie - close your eyes
dorothy ashby - fool on the hill
mort garson - swinging spathillyiums (sp)
tom dissevelt - orbit aurora
francois de roubaix - les amis (but, really, everything he ever did)
sun ra - sleeping beauty
random number - these streets and sadness
lonesome organist - postlude to a happy ending
kryzsztof komeda - cul de sac
terry durham - crystal telephone
nilsson - popeye (soundtrack)
john cooper clarke - a distant relation

not heard these - though i've been desperately trying to get the terry durham album.

what do these artists sound like?

Will You Be Staying After Sunday?

Until I realized that I too was logged in and could actually see who it was. (i'm a little slow.)

i logged in spoiling the surprise.
gareth. could you make a copy of that for me?
i'll send you a copy of the soundtrack to frank perry's last summer.

yes, no problem, i can do you one tonite, with some other stuff

unless, you meant the terry durham lp itself? ive had real trouble getting a copy. i bought it, but it didnt come, and now i cant find another copy:(:(:(

oh wait, you have the terry durham lp already? i got confused by the post!

evan parker played on it, apparently!

am still waiting on my copper plated intergrated circuit album that BETTER ARRIVE...

i bought it on ebay:(

I buried myself beneath a rug
of fluffy olive green
and wondered when the rain would stop.
puddles of oil
with too many unmatched colors
were all i could see through a crack in the floor.
umbrellas closing-
not enough leak-proof rain boots
and beauty parlors closed.

grandmother baked a johnny cake
and divided evenly,
but gave two pieces to grandpa.

i can hear the bounce of a ball
and eager hands scraping up little pointed silver things.

when it rains, fairytales seem more real at bedtime
and i never watch a scary movie!

the old green rug is muddy
'cause everyone steps on it from the outside.

i'd better move.

theres a wav file of it here, its a us sitcom from 1976-1982ish, linda lavin was the main actress, who sung the theme

nick garrie - close your eyes

a baroque folky softpop singer, from the late 60s. made an album jb stanislaus, but it only came out in france or spain. this track isnt on there though. the lp, had a korean cd reissue, which i also bought from some site, and ALSO never arrived, joining the list of mysterious non-arrivals

mort garson - swinging spathillyiums (sp)

this is from the mid 70s. mort garson was an arranger (glen campbell at one point i think), who also made a bunch of electronic albums, 12 about the zodiac(!), plus a requiem for satan from 1971 which is kind of a bit creepy. this is abuot 75, and is a record for helping plants grow

tom dissevelt - orbit aurora

from song of the second moon, recorded with kid baltan. he was a 50s/60s dutch electronic guy, there is a 4cd boxset coming out soon, of dutch electronic music, 1956-1966 ish

francois de roubaix - les amis (but, really, everything he ever did)

the best person ever to make music, in my view. i love roubaix, this is from the film of the same name, in 1971. there are some best ofs, but they miss out all the good stuff. his career is so varied it is difficult to pin down, but, he did a lot of french soundtracks from 1963 to his death in 76 i think

random number - these streets and sadness

grey west yorkshire rainyness, playing in london next week. moody and yorkshirey

terry durham - crystal telephone

well, if you havent heard it, its like a yorkshire serge gainsbourg, with softpop flourishes

i don't know how they settled on The Love Generation as a band name. They were apparently suicidal.

ack. how long ago did you order the terry durham thing from ebay, gareth? i've made some obscure os mutantes, copper intergrated circuit, ultimate spinace and rita lee purchases and now i'm concerned!

am listneing to cul de sac in honour of this thread.

the title track does sound ilke something from mancini's charade.

most of the things ive bought on ebay in the last few months have either come from france or germany, so maybe that is why its been a bit hit and miss.

order the libra - schock soundtrack from italy and that arrived no problem.

scott, i was never able to look past the album cover with regards to the love generation!

i want to hear it!

i'll send anyone who wants to hear it - an mp3 of a guitar beat group doing a surf instrument of rock'n'roll star by the byrds.

do you have any more info on this?

that and the moonflowers whom i never thought got their due. really, it is the sister group to the happy mondays.

http://www.galcosta.com.br/

ive only heard bits of gal costa, its ok, but i need to hear more. im not that into mutantes or veloso, i've always preferred the marcos valle style, from that time

i heard the moonflowers are having all their stuff reissued? i have the get higher 12" somewhere, i didnt really think that much of it (was expecing a butthole surfers/happy mondays hybrid, but it sounded a bit limp to me), i think flowered up were the only band to even think about being a sister band to happy mondays, and even they were some way short (though, of course, happy mondays are pretty much unrivalled)

i tried to buy wolfgang dauners oimels, but that was out of stock too. that was from that place in highgate

i got some good porter wagoner and psylocibin records earlier in the month though

have you guys heard of gravenhurst? just finished an email interview with them its amazing. he does this really cool murder ballad version of husker du's dianne.

i know nobody likes the earlies but check out their mixes online - you can't fault their tastes in music. i've put up three at www.poptones.co.uk - do a search and find on earlies. nice stuff.

ps sophei just bought a pedometer today...!

if you are interested in francois de roubaix, you might want to check this site out

No, seriously! Want to get the Libertines kids into a band? Write some slash involving said band.

from song of the second moon, recorded with kid baltan. he was a 50s/60s dutch electronic guy, there is a 4cd boxset coming out soon, of dutch electronic music, 1956-1966 ish

it's out! it is super dupes.

the electrosoniks 'electronic music'

ihttp://home.wanadoo.nl/tazelaar/images/pe-voorkant.jpg

will do...

am listening to james yorkston and the atheletes though truth be told it is a little too much like a john renbourne/burt jansch record for me to truly enjoy it.

did you like the roubaix tracks?

i'm having a poptones.co.uk crisis.

well get around to all this very soon...

ps. gareth, check out the magic numbers. they are a new band taht sound like mamas and the papas.
