Albums You're Digging II

I've been spacing out a lot latley to kid a.
 
Key track - INTO THE WOORAB! cmon with lyrics like this how could it not be

A kitten on fire.
A baby in a blender.
Both sound as sweet as a night of surrender.
I know it ain't easy, but you do what you can. If your livin gets weezy, you can follow this plan:
put in more than you could ever get out.
I'm tired of the talking, I know what you're about.
Now open your mouth, here comes the spoon. You're gonna eat what I give ya,
and you're gonna like it real good.
1. A riddle: I went over the river, and into the wooRAB, where did I go?
Where a wood buring stream flows up thru the trees,
like the soul of the hottest kind of lover I've ever seen: "e"
One who lives to choose another fool's dream.
A good showerhead and my right hand, the two best lovers that I ever had.
Now if you find you agree with what I just said, you'd better find a new love
and let 'em into your head
 
Sure. I'll have something your way a bit later on.


I've read a lot about the Scottish post-punk scene, but not heard of that album. I'll keep an eye peeled for it.
 
Heh...I thought the cover was pretty terrible, personally. I heard it as part of my first listen to the album it definitely brought it down a notch. Then I realized it wasn't part of the original release. Phew.
 
Sonic Nurse, Goo, and Sister. Sister was really really good as well. What do I listen to next?

EDIT: and I listened to The Eternal last year when it came out, didn't do much for me.

Electronic era Krautrock filtered through modern recording techniques and a splash of 80's Techno and Disco. Nothing highly original but niche enough to garner multiple listens.

Imagine if Tori Amos, Kate Bush, Joanne Newsome and Patti Smith all had sex with Tom Waits and they produced a strange hybrid female with music to match. Each listen reveals a little more.
 
Wow my respect for you has dramatically increased! Tim and Neil Finn are quality NZ artists. I remeraber singing Four Seasons in One Day by Crowded House in front of my high school, those were the days!

Where are you from by the way? Or your mother? My dad was the one that got me into them as well because they were a generation before me.
 
I love it when that happens, you're listening to an album you don't get, but why? I think it's because deep down you're drawn to the music, even if you don't know why. And the day something clicks with an album is just brilliant. The day I clicked with Loveless was a fine day indeed. :D

I'm hoping I'll keep growing in to Sonic Youth, They aren't the most accessible band, I think it's cos of the singing or the lack of, sometimes it's just talking, which can be a bit irritating. I have an OCD of people delivered good lyrics in a good way.. But sometimes if the music is THAT good, I can be lenient to the singing after a while of getting used to it.
 
Yeah true. However, my computer problems had me glancing over my phyisical collection again...it was nice saying "ooh I wanna listen to this" by browsing things visually rather than just looking at a list of files. Not saying I want to do that exclusively, as it is a pain considering my shelves are overstacked, but it's fun to take a break and go back to the old school method once in a while.

I've always been put off by Fuck Buttons because of some annoying douchebag i work with who thinks because he listens to these guys he's better than everybody else.

However, i picked it up on discount from a friend the other day and, to be honest, this is ridiculously good, each song undulating immediately into the next one to create this symphony of often atonal, dissonant noise. Whoever hasnt listened to it, do it.
