Well, with lyrics like you ain't seen nothin' till you're down on a muffin

Good point, well made

The Stray Cats don't feature too often either.
I really like them. In fact, just gonna pop a dvd on.........

Lanegan's great, I love the way his voice sounds so lived in. Every year it gets richer and richer. I have the Screaming Trees anthology (plus a couple of his solo albums) that compiles their SST years and I couldn't believe how good it sounds - I was never a fan of the band from what I'd heard when grunge was in vogue, but this was a bargain bin purchase that completely changed my mind. I saw him about 3 weeks back playing with Isobelle Campbell at the Secret Garden Party. He stalked on stage clad totally in black, didn't look at the audience once, didn't look at Isobelle once, didn't speak a word, and then walked off after about 10 songs without even acknowledging there was anyone else on stage. It was broad daylight when they played, one of the weirdest billings I've ever seen. Loved it mind.

Evangelise away Sultan

Oh, his voice gets worse and worse every record, and it's exactly what he needs. "Lived-in" is a good way of putting it. When I was about 15 I heard Uncle Anesthesia for the first time, and I really loved it. Because of that, I picked up The Winding Sheet shortly thereafter. Unfortuantely, I've never seen him live, either solo or back in the Screaming Trees days. I'm jealous

A sizeable chunk of my record collection is old rock or metal bands that Blast and Pat might applaud, but don't seem to do much for most Heartlanders.

The thing that genuinely surprises me is that I seem quite isolated in my love of dodgy goth bands - I'd assumed here of all places I would find fellow followers of groups like:

Collide, Dream Disciples, Faith and the Muse, Faithful Dawn, Inertia, Inkubus Sukkubus, Into The Abyss, Intra-Venus, London After Midnight, Love Like Blood, The Marionettes, Midnight Configuration, Nosferatu, One, Switchblade Symphony, Tapping The Vein, Voltaire, The Wake.

out of the bands I've championed (Gabriel's Genesis, the Van Der Graaf Generator, Shriekback, Hawkwind, Tangerine Dream, King Crimson, Type O Negative For Greater Good and ARF!) I've so far had quite a high strike rate (mainly from a tall chap in Antverpia

) Roy Harper, The Strawbs, Mansun and Emerson Lake & Palmer seem to be the only ones that have fallen on deaf ears

I've not heard it for years but I used to love Pictures at an Exhibition. Quality stuff.

I have a white label copy of their album.. worth owt? Listened to it once, can't remember what it sounds like.

Posted: **18 Aug 2007, 19:55**

Dead Kennedy's, Distillers, Gene loves Jezebel, T.S.O.L., Iron Maiden and Linkin Park
not really similar kinds of music, but very good stuff
when i'm sad: Sisters; christian Death, bauhaus and generally Goth
When i'm happy: Dead kennedy's; distillers, Maiden and energetic stuff

@ Steve: I only know of most of your fave g*ffy bands because of old, dodgy Cleopatra compilations from the early '90s. Some of them did indeed produce tunes that hold a special place in my heart (see the Marionettes' "Ave Dementia," for starters

), but some of that stuff I just find to be unlistenable. Then again, what passes for g*th these days is far, far worse, imho...

A few more from staring at my cd collexion earlier:
Keuhkot (finnish band, avant garde genius), King Diamond (he is crap but i listened to him as a kid and still sometimes do, he's corky), Biosphere (more dark ambient, divine) and Burzum (finest black metal).

Posted: **18 Aug 2007, 20:11**

The Future Sound Of London, The Orb, Ozric Tentacles, Susumu Yokota, Four Tet... I likes all of them lot I does. And you lot don't....
'ckin' goffs.

TFSOL and t'Orb, now ye ken that's no true, don't make me call ye a FUD! Steve

only Biosphere I have is the Novelty Waves CD single, used to like it, then I heard FGG

Hats off to (Roy) Harper.

I know the man from his collaboration with Kate Bush (You and another track whose title escapes me).
AKA the man who sings on the Floyd song "Have a cigar".
Unfortunately, he's virtually unknown in France.

i have Patashnik, haven't really heard anything else. But it's one of the all-time best albums to me. Haven't heard a whole album of FGG yet (will soon, though)

Unexpected to see so many ppl listening to (dark) ambient.

PS: NON is another band i've never seen mentioned here, just occurred to me. Oh yes i want Total War.

Posted: **18 Aug 2007, 20:45**

I like a lot of that stuff, but it's extremely difficult to get to hear any of it here at all, outside of dedicated clubs and perhaps college radio stations. My first exposure to that genre was via MTV's old show called Amp, years ago. Pathetic!

Posted: **18 Aug 2007, 20:50**

Art Brut, Tindersticks, Do Me Bad Things, Grinn

Pixies, Breeders, Frank Black, The Amps

mmm

yep they never seem to get a mention either...to many non goffs listening to dark ambient

Posted: **19 Aug 2007, 00:12**

Pixies do, otherwise I wouldn't have this wonderful reunion tour DVD - it's a jansenclone product, so you know it is a really, really high vision and sound disk

pro quality, I believe is the term

Posted: **19 Aug 2007, 00:30**

I know Suede get the occasional mention here, but nowhere near enough if you ask me, Brett Anderson and his merry band of cheekbones fairly regulated my hormones way back when and I see he's aged marvellously...

Moloko never get a look in, I know Sing It Back probably put a lot of people off, being as it is a bit Ibiza massive, but they are the finest (and quite possibly only) purveyors of Goff Disko in existence. Also rather sharp lyrics from Roisin Murphy...

I'm sure there's more but I have immense respect for the tastes of HL's denizens

Posted: **19 Aug 2007, 00:45**

Suede Large Claire? You've just shot up the weeblometer of glacier like coolness (I'm sure you'll sleep better knowing that

) Without doubt one of the best live acts I've ever seen

Posted: **19 Aug 2007, 01:34**

Did I mention Venetian Snares yet?

And/or Shinjuku Fief? Jist re-listened the Sacred Fury CD Dei, I have to swim some DEEP waters afore I can reach THAT quality!

Darrin is G.O.D!

not the last time I'll say that

IZ.

Ha, that's my favourite ST album! One that sucks the poor listener into its chaotic world and holds in its merciless distorting grip strongest. Amazing.

Posted: **19 Aug 2007, 09:21**

I must say i adore"My Bloody Valentine" and anyone out there feels the same way then click here for a selection of live boots and my I recommend Live in Vancouver92 "loom tour"

Heartland

Who do you listen to that never gets mentioned on Heartland?
