#Listening to the 1990 album Necklace Of Heads by US indie rock bank Lungfish;

Stumbled across this today, never heard of it before. I like it! It's got a jaunty groove and great some guitar tones.
It kind of reminds me of the 1994 album Memory Barge by Hardvark, a bargain bin score that I played to death when I still owned a CD player. Here's one of my favourite tracks from that album, Man of Science;
#Listening to Steady Diet Of Nothing, a 1991 album by Fugazi;

This album puts me in mind of a more melodic version of HDU, or a more math-rocky Jesus Lizard. I loved stuff like this in the late 90s. how did it take me so long to give this band a proper listen?!

I love the almost industrial guitar tone on this track. One of the licks reminds me of The Annoying Song, one of my favourite tracks from the Butthole Surfers album Independent Worm Saloon. Meanwhile, the rhythm reminds me of tracks by The White Stripes, Tadpole, and even Rammstein.

Left or Right released this album when I was living in Ōtepoti, and rapidly became known locally for its idiosyncratic single Gary's Nuggety Neighbour. I don't know how to describe this, except to say that it's weird, and it's fun, and you could have a significantly worse time not listening to it, so ... what are you waiting for?

When survivors of the late 20th century talk about punk or music, we're talking about low-fi, DIY stuff like this, not Blink 182 or Alien Ant Farm covers of Michael Jackson. If enough people pass around hissy, dubbed tapes of this song, it could become our generation's Not Given Lightly.

This is great organic dance music, reminiscent of the collective who did the original Cowboy Bebop soundtrack. It's fast, fresh, fidgety, fun, upbeat, and not all the appropriate thing to be listening to this close to the witching hour. But I have a podcast to finish and post ...

https://pennydiving.bandcamp.com/album/dirty-pets
This reminds me of fuzzpop pioneers of the nineties and early noughties, like The Breeders, Belly, and Mazzy Star. In some ways, these bands were among the US counterparts of the UK shoegaze scene. But like The Breeders, Dirty Pets has a bit of artpunk Pixies and Sonic Youth influence thrown in there too.

So happy I realised I can get audio of the legendary KEXP live-to-air series as a podcast. Now I don't having to go through YouTub to hear them. But, PeerTube channel please KEXP! 🙏

"... features Tonkori, the traditional stringed instrument of the Karafuto Ainu in a band setting with drums, bass, keyboard and heavy dub sound."

I presume some of the songs, like Bekabeka, are in an Ainu language too. Like a blend of Japanese and Pacific triangle languages, maybe even a little like some South American languages I've heard bits of.

Can't wait to listen to some more of their tunes. This is right up there with Brass Against, and the Disturbed cover of Land of Confusion

Mostly at the jazzy instrumental end, strangely reminiscent of kiwi dub like The Black Seeds or early Salmonella Dub.
Speaking of jazzy instrumental ska and kiwi dub, that reminded me of Oakley Grenell's Ōtautahi Allstars, so I'm #listening now;
https://oakleygrenell.bandcamp.com/album/otautahi-allstars
Despite the release year given on BC, I believe the album was recorded and originally released about 20 years ago. I saw these tunes played live a few times, always a skanking good time : )

The radicalism of the 1960s must have come from somewhere. I've read that it was an attempt by the youth movements to hold their parents generation to its own professed standards. As represented by the broadcasts on Radio Free Asia, and other US broadcasts into countries of the Eastern Bloc and the Nonaligned Movement.

I'm #listening to the latest mix from SSSD (kia ora e hoa!);

He drops a sample from a rah-rah post-WW2 film uses the phrase "future citizen's" to describe children in public education. That's some aspirational language. We could use a bit of that.

Love the tongue-in-cheek melodrama of the video. They released their first 4 track EP last year, which is fantastic;

I love the honky tonk piano work on this track. Will definitely listen to some more of McCann's tunes. So far I've found a live album recorded in 1966 in Seattle;

It's delightfully whimsical, like the Flaming Lips of Pink Robots, but more musically sanded, lacking the Lips' cultivated roughness. More The Residents than Pure Guava era Ween.

This selection has an abrasive edge, and I wasn't in the right mood for it the first time I tried to listen. But tonight, it was just the ticket. The call to action at the end is brilliant.

This is officially the weirdest shit I've seen for weeks.

Vaguely reminds me of this classic by Blam Blam Blam;
