gcreptile 10,966 Posted February 28, 2021 There's a new song out by my favourite PC/Japanese pop inspired band Kero Kero Bonito, as a prelude to their next EP Civilization II. According to the press release their inspirations for this one are, for example, Kate Bush (!), Björk (!!), and Jon Hassell (!!!!!!!!). And you have seen me posting videos of both Kero Kero Bonito and Jon Hassell here. If they had also included David Bowie, they basically would have given me my personal all-time top five list. Especially the mention of Jon Hassell (sadly picked in deadpools this year by me) is such a weird, weird connection between different worlds that also just happens to my favourite music. You know, like maybe, if you were a huge fan of Christopher Nolan movies and of Bill Murray, and they'd make something together... That said, the new song, is just okay, ha! I don't hear these influences yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,645 Posted March 3, 2021 Recently discovered the FB page of Obscurest Vinyl - basically a meme fest offering up the faked covers for the nonexistent recordings of a sound-hound's dreams.

TQR 14,386 Posted March 11, 2021 The UK’s Eurovision* entry for 2021. It’s better than last year’s aborted effort, but then so is rabies. *I love Eurovision and I’m unapologetic about that. If you want to slate it, particularly if you mention any politics you link to it, please write your opinion on a post-it, lube up your inbox and stick it on the top of your bowels. This song is toss, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Though I disagree with the annotation that this is the 'best' version. A little too staccato for my taste . Slightly prefer this, and still don't think it's the 'best'. It is however a more interesting watch to boot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But, since I can only actually pinpoint North Macedonia on a map due to a bunch of recent sporcle quizzes in which it appeared (thanks for pointing me at that site @Toast damn you), I believe it should win by a country mile. I'd far sooner have tripe from somewhere that could do with the publicity than any home grown substantially similar dirge. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Book 3,556 Posted March 23, 2021 One of the best German love songs: Stella Maris by Einstürzende Neubauten feat. Meret Becker. Still love it, so beautiful, so tragic! I still got the CD. From 1996... time flies really fast... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,966 Posted March 27, 2021 New albums out by Lana Del Rey and Pharoah Sanders. Especially the latter makes me happy, otherwise I might have been tempted eventually to pick him in deadpools. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted March 28, 2021 The Detroit home that appears in this Gorillas video is about to hit the market (if you have a spare $400K). It’s located at 226 Hendrix St. How the lads discovered and chose that home is anyone’s guess. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SC Yeah, I mean, I know it’s Detroit and all but the house is intriguing. Hopefully it’ll go to an enthusiast rather than the type of gormless fuckknuckle you’d find on whatever the US version of Homes Under The Hammer is. Gorillaz are quality, yeah. Albarn arguably did better stuff with them than with Blur. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
