captains dead

i had been searching for the most disturbing shane photo i could find but opted for the one above. mostly due to the fact that i didnt want to put you all through that kind of emotional/optical torture.

here are the pogues on the dutch kro “op slag van maandag” which was broadcasted on 3.22.87, but performed on 12.1.86.

1. dj intro

2. the ballinalee

3. metropolis

4. dirty old town

5. greenland whale fisheries

6. repeal of the licensing laws

7. and the band played waltzing matilda

8. dj outro

ya know deep down inside i love hip hop, but as stated in many previous posts, i now have a bit a knee jerk reaction when approaching just about every hip hop record outside of the likes of aesop rock, el p, and mc’s of the like. i am particularly cautious of white mc’s, and really for no good reason. speaking of sir whitey mc, chicago’s alltruisms is releasing his debut lp, clusterbombs on 7.1 - this coming tuesday. i have only listened to these tracks but thus far i am definitely feeling his flow/beats/lyrical content.

i have actually been listening to isrealite noa babayof’s from a window to wall for about a week before i got an email regarding said record. which i was pretty psyched about cause that meant i could properly share a couple tracks with y’all. i dont think i have heard a voice as glorious and haunting as noa’s in many a year. simply put, the record is absolutely gorgeous and really quite romantic. nico, marianne faithful, joni mitchell and beth orton are a few ladies i would liken her to.

pet ghost project is the work/sounds of brooklynite, justin stivers. sometimes me thinks old school diy ethos are dead, but then along comes a chap like mr. stivers and his pet ghost project to warm the cockles of your ever blackening heart. justin records in a farmhouse in the middle of somewhere and in basements scattered throughout some of our finest cities, and his brand of glitchy noise pop/rock is just as contrasting. if ya dig the bedroom/closet charm of neutral milk hotel’s on avery island,  dont pass up checkin pet ghost project.

of all the shows i have been witness to, none really compare to the almost religious experience that was a 16 horsepower show. david eugene edwards was akin to a snake handling preacher when he was onstage - you can kind of get a sense his fervor by the above photo.

here they are on some radio station in amsterdam on 1.26.00.
