    I bought two Papa Roach t-shirts in my life. They lie in the rubble of a former house which ... is fitting.

    Same thing as Bruh.








    I tried to get a Strokes one too but they're just irredeemable.

    The End has No End is good. As is What Ever Happened? I think I've come to a realisation that Ride are a mostly shit band, too. But Leave Them All Behind is so damn awesome.

    I've been listening to Swans quite a lot recently, who are a band I don't really have much experience with up to this point. They're great. I'm just sort of working my way through from the beginning and it's been quite a fascinating progression so far.

    Good old Bob. Drops his first original recording in eight years to cheer the world up, and it's a 17 minute rumination on the assassination of JFK.

    It's very good though. It's also his longest studio recording to date, interestingly. He has just described as being an unrealised track he recorded "a while back", but I'm hopeful it's a sign of a new album of original material.

    His studio vocals are not really any worse now than they ever were. Presumably needs to dunk his throat in warm honey before every line though.

    No, they're not really. His voice actually started to suit him more the older he got, in my opinion, peaking around the turn of the century.

    When he was young it was a lot more nasal and, being full of youthful exuberance still, he would quite often really go for it vocally, with varying degrees of success. When he got older and the effects of (I'm guessing) smoking heavily for most of his life made it a lot more gravelly, he just settled on this more laid back, gruff style of delivery which suits him perfectly. He sort of naturally morphed into his own take on the kind of grizzly old bluesman who he admired in his youth. It suits him down to the ground.

    It does not translate well live though, and I say that as somebody who has willingly seen him live four times.

    His 60s stuff does not agree with me but Blood on the Tracks is one of my favourite albums. He had a kind of happy medium on that. I'll seek out some of his later stuff over the weekend.

    Start with Time Out Of Mind. Fantastic album (also closes with a 16 minute long bluesy thing where he goes to buy some eggs)

    Absolutely. Time Out of Mind is a masterpiece and not only my favourite Bob Dylan album but actually just my favourite album, period.

    Has always been the worst voice ever in music. Whatever good points he has in songwriting are lost on me because he’s horrendous to listen to.

    EDIT: Sorry, 2nd. Forgot about the Strokes.

    Played TOOM last night, enjoyed it very much at surface level (especially a run of tracks in the middle) but might need a few more listens to fully appreciate.

    Good man Jim. It definitely rewards repeated listens. This whole unfortunate episode is really a great time to delve into the depths of Bob's catalogue, plenty to discover!

    Ten songs I have listened to a lot lately, just as Jesus intended. In order of accessibility, I guess?

    Doja Cat ft. Sza - Kiss Me More
    Real sound of the summer vibes from this. I generally find everything Doja Cat does to be pretty irresistible.

    Arab Strap - Fable of the Urban Fox
    It's almost too on the nose but I love it if only for the "these streets" line. Their new album is really good albeit with the odd skippable track.

    Bibi Flash - Histoire d'un soir (Bye bye les galeres)
    I found this after hearing a rubbish recent house remix. The original, from 1983, really evokes about 1pm at a southern European music festival, mildly hungover clutching a six euro pint of Heineken. In a good way.

    Blanco - Anakin
    London rapper that seems like the full package. Expecting big things.

    Armand Van Helden - My My My
    Random mid 2000s mainstream house album track that I can't stop listening to. A dramatic sample and some good drums are all you need for this sort of thing.

    Haru Nemuri - underground
    I finally found some good J-Pop guys. It exists. Unda-gu-roundu.

    WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA - Medusa
    As above.

    HYO & 3LAU - Punk Right Now
    Yeah OK I'm going through a phase alright.

    SOPHIE - JUST LIKE WE NEVER SAID GOODBYE


    Namasenda - I Could Die
    Swedish nu-gabber PC Music banger. All good words individually, and as a result this song is very good.

    Discovered this recently and been obsessed with it: Broken Bells (Spotify) - it's a collaboration between the guy from The Shins and Dangermouse. There's a couple of albums, both great.

    Mention of Star Treatment has made me want to bring Tranquility Base back into rotation. Long enough has passed now (it just sounds like new release hyperbole if you say it a week after it's come out) that I can legitimately say that is my favourite Arctic Monkeys albums. Even if it felt a bit more like a Turner solo affair.

    There's a new Willy Mason album out which is pretty good - kinda goes a little Tom Waits in places, almost dancey at other times.

    I'm going to be all over this. It must be a decade since he released anything new? I saw him live in a whim a couple of years ago (I kind of forgot about him to be honest) and he was really good, seemed like a proper sound bloke. Put on a cracking show. He said he was dabbling in some new stuff at the time.

    Indie folk fans - get Mutual Benefit in your ears. Gorgeous music. I don't listen to any album in particular, just put his (their - it's a rambling collective seemingly) music on shuffle.

    Yeah they covered the entirety of Vashti Bunyan’s album Just Another Diamond Day from 1970. It’s lovely folksy music - the original album and the cover album - but the strings they add on some of the songs really enhance them.

    Apparently Bunyan released that album to no acclaim at all and she basically quit music as a result, but it gradually came to be considered a classic and she released her next album 35 years later in 2005.

    I think I'm in the same boat now, which is quite a comeback considering I didn't like it much at all when it came out. The two prior albums really feel quite poor in comparison now, feels like they finally nailed the correct amount of arrogance/up own arseness on TBHC; it works quite well within the concept. Be interesting to see what they do next.

    Have you listened to their new album? I've only heard it once so far and not a lot has stuck. I loved the debut, but the second one I wasn't quite as fond of.

    I've listened to a few bits - that seemed the best song by far. There was a good cover of a BeeGees song too

    https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5n...2693a5cc3343f4

    Dijon - The Dress
    Martha Skye Murphy - Stuck
    Taylor Swift - All Too Well (10 minute version)
    BADBADNOTGOOD - Time Moves Slow
    Charli XCX - Track 10
    Massive Attack - Cool Monsoon
    Jenny Hval - Jupiter
    Richard Dawson & Circle - Ivy
    Tei Shi ft. Blood Orange - Even If It Hurts
    CURRENTMOODGIRL - My Own

    That Richard Dawson record rules.

    Henki is the epic joint record from Richard Dawson, the diminutive Geordie troubadour, and Circle, the genre-straddling pioneers of The New Wave Of Finnish Heavy Metal. Unlike any metal album you have heard before, Henki’s seven tracks deal with special plants throughout history, making it the greatest flora-themed hypno-folk-metal record you’ll hear this year.
    His vocals were pretty much made for 70s metal style riffs.

    Wait, Richard Dawson has made a metal album? I thought Peasant was fantastic and 2020 really good, so I'll definitely give that a listen.

    A friend recommended The Metallica Blacklist to me and I've been listening to it on and off the past couple of days. It's various artists covering songs off Metallica's self-titled (aka 'The Black Album'). Some songs - the popular ones - get several versions, leading to there being twelve (TWELVE) versions of Nothing Else Matters on the thing.

    It's obviously much too long, and a good part of it is dross, forgettable, or both, but I'm really enjoying some reinterpretations. The country takes work especially well (Jason Isbell for Sad But True, Chris Stapleton for Nothing Else Matters), Rina Sawayama doing Enter Sandman is lots of fun, both punk versions of Holier Than Thou (by Off! and The Chats, respectively) make a lot of sense too. Then there's instances when the song just becomes something entirely different, like Kamasi Washington making My Friend of Misery a jazz number or Through The Never as an atmospheric R&B song (for lack of a better description).

    Even on shuffle it's just way too much repetition to listen through, though. I'll probably not get the tune of The Unforgiven out of my head before next year.

    @-james- I've been meaning to reply for ages just to say I like Dijon, too. Although I've mainly just played 'Talk Down' dozens of times. Quite simple, singalong goodness.

    Did you like the Blood Orange album Freetown Sound?

    --

    It could be 10 Chili Peppers tracks cos I've been devouring their new album (an almost guaranteed love for anyone who's a fan), but here're some others as well:

    Red Hot Chili Peppers - She's A Lover
    Paul Weller - Above The Clouds
    The Avalanches - The Wozard of Iz
    Jeff Rosenstock - 9/10
    Charles Mingus - The Man Who Never Sleeps - Live
    Bob Marley & The Wailers - Could You Be Loved
    Alice Coltrane - Krishna Krishna
    Erykah Badu - Honey
    Sublime - KRS-One
    Angelo Arce, Madlib, Wildchild - Manifestin

    Jay Z & Beyonce - 03' Bonnie & Clyde
    Massive Attack - Safe from Harm
    Part Chimp - Worms
    Dani Im - Sound of Silence
    The Simps - Tesla

    Saw LCD last night and although they didn't play this, it placed it front and square in my mind.

    Were they good? I remember when they closed the Other Stage at Glasto a few years back and it was incredible. Ever since then I've had 'dance yourself clean' in my head every night at festivals.

    I actually tried to shower this year by signing up to that Lost Horizons nudist colony, but the queues for showers were far too long and, upon closer inspection, I'm fairly certain they're more gypsies than nudists.

    Yeah that Glastonbury show is possibly my favourite gig of all time. Just the perfect festival show. I wish I could find the BBC coverage of it.

    There's so much great footage of her shows. This is a favourite (that bit starting around 5:30 holyshit):



    We must be due some new stuff soon. Hopefully a return to form after Divers (though I do love Divers lol).

    A colleague and her boyfriend are hosting a lil get-together today. Ryan in IT made a collab playlist, and host's boyfriend was like ohhh I dunno I like some pretty weird music. Finally we convinced him it's cool, we have some pretty esoteric/shit taste, and as we anticipated some fucking Belgian industrial symphonic metal he shyly shared a link to a ....does it offend you, yeah song. Lol.


    Next day at work host was like 'no serious he does like some really weird stuff, you heard of yard act?"

    What the fuck kinda foo fighters BBC live lounge bubble would you have had to be sheltered in to think a ubiquitously popular post -punk band like that is a bit of a risky out there selection. Bless.

    They were on fine form - fourth time I’ve seen them and this was probably the best. Dance Yrself Clean is always absolutely enormous live.

    So I made my way through those Faith No More albums I picked up last week.

    The Real Thing
    Good. To be honest, this is the Faith No More stuff I'm more familiar with. I really love the funky, slappy bass that runs through it. There's so much energy to it, even beyond the obvious hits like Epic and From Out of Nowhere. And there's a good cover of War Pigs.

    Angel Dust
    Their best album by miles. More funky and the lyrics get a little smarter. Everything's Ruined is an absolute banger and it should be the anthem for the Binance Thread. It sounds relentless before deciding to tap out with Easy.

    King for a Day
    Who could've guessed the drop-off was coming? This album doesn't do a lot for me and mostly sounds like something Kerrang would push hard for. Evidence is a rare highlight and it could've been a better effort if they leaned more into Mike Patton being a sleazy lounge act. I couldn't quite see where the Metal tag was coming from until these albums. They're trying but it sounds very of it's time, to me.

    Album of the Year
    Slightly better. Ashes to Ashes is pretty good but the funk has completely gone. Mike's voice gets deeper, the songs sound darker and then there's this:

    Following the album's release, Faith No More toured with Limp Bizkit in 1997, who were frequently booed by Faith No More's fans
    Ironic, as they sound nu-Metal as fuck, at this point. I'll give Sol Invictus a listen but I really want to give Introduce Yourself and We Care a Lot a listen.

    The Real Thing is a pretty much flawless album.
