Quite by chance discovered The tengooz (the name is a play on words)


Good stuff!


Their blog is here:

You can hear their stuff by clicking the covers:

They seem to have gathered quite a following here in blighty, although I didn't notice any media presence when we were over in Japan for 6 weeks last autumn.


Here is some Kiiiii

They have been known here for some time by the regular 'headz, good stuff!


Just to round off, some Seagull Screaming Kiss Her Kiss Her

Heh, yeah they are pretty mad.


Seeing as that wasn't enough to buzz your bins off, try some Merzbow!




Seem to have forgotten most of the Japanese noise bands I was into about 8 years ago, memory is awful these days, but they did some pretty mental stuff.


To end on a mellower note, something from the wonderful, and much overlooked Flower travellin band:

feeling a bit "emotional" today and this song has been running up and down the stairs of my mind today (unbidden - I haven't had it on or anything....


The Smiths - Ask


It's easy lilt disguising the lyric


"Shyness is nice - and shyness can stop you. From doing all the things you'd like to"


or


"Nature is a language, can't you read?"



oh dear - I'm off again

Oh those Floyd numbers transported me immediately to winter, 1983, wave-lashed seaside town. Me, a mate, a portable cassette-player listening to this at all hours.... wow - very evocative


if only I COULD find Portuguese cover version of it


As someone mention the K&D sessions the other day - my favourite (and probably most familiar one..)


K&D - Useless

Classic stuff.


Well, as I've still miserably failed to get myself to a shop that sells CDs in the flesh (dying breed by the sounds of things) I'm having to make do with 'orrid MP3s for the time being

British Sea Power - Waving Flags

British Sea Power - No Lucifer

British Sea Power - Atom

what happend to the Camden Zavvi again?


I love my big music, but I've sean BSP live 3 times now and I just don't get them at all. I read about them and I hear about them from others, but what I actually hear appears to live in Mundania Road

I saw them about 5 times supporting others and ended up enjoying them more than the headline bands sometimes.

The second album was rather mundane as it goes, but for their live bonkersness and that first album they will always have a place in my heart even if they never live up to the potential.


Think Manics, their last 5/6 albums have been pretty dull, but that doesn't mean they leave your heart for Gen Terrorists and The Holy Bible does it.

Motorcycle Emptiness is my Manics tune of choice


I almost feel bad for saying anything bad about them (BSP) - they are clearly popular and seem like good guys. Last time I saw them they were headlining a festival so we got the full stage foliage and film. And the rest of the day had been a succession of worthy but quiet acts so come show time I was well up for it... but 6 songs in I was "where's the beef" - I couldn't hum a tune of theirs if you payed me


But I hereby promise to listen to those 3 tracks tonight when I get home

why, because I am fair-minded to the point of obsession of course!


Well, that and the fact that the first time they were supporting the Flaming Lips (yay!), second time I gave em a fair go at their own show, and third time I was already at the festival

ooh no - do like the Bonnie Prince. I know it's not music, MP, but have you seen him in an early role in a 1987 film called Matewan? He plays a young radical preacher in a community of coal miners fighting to form a union in the bad old days. Superb stuff - a host of greats are in it too - James Earl Jones, Mary McDonnell, Chris Cooper ...

Oh cheers for that Incitatus. I was lucky enough to see the Small Faces when they reformed in '77 but, of course it wasn't the same without Ronnie Lane. Also, saw Steve Marriot with Humble Pie back in '74 supporting the Who at Charlton. He had an amazing set of pipes. Bloody awful the way he died.


And it's an awful shame that Ronnie Lane isn't with us either so here's another little reminder of the great man.


Ron & Ron - Richmond

    • I've just had James from Trelco round doing taps and hot water.  Prompt, efficient and pleasant people and the cost came in under what we thought it would be! Will definitely use them again.
    • Yes - adult care is a large part of the CT bill.  That does not mean the council spend our money well or wisely.        
    • “What do councils spend all the money on?” Is, in my view, one of the most profoundly emblematic of our times  we go about our lives, backed up by councils and governments and complain they aren’t needed  reform win elections based on “we’re gonna go in and slash all the waste!” Only to later admit there effectively isn’t any oh and by the way we need to increase council tax   Now all we have to offer is racism and ineptitude sorry about that  https://www.gbnews.com/money/reform-elon-musk-doge-failed-savings So where does the money go? On a multitude of services - but the increasingly aged population and the care provision required is a large part of it  the government could give councils more money to avoid council tax rises  - but the we would have to pay more in jewels taxation  and as a country we tend to pay less than other similar countries  so we end up with an expensive mend and make do approach  I don’t see any political parties offering a solution   Starmer is obviously lacking in many areas but he is the result of a hostile media and a reluctant population willing to hear truths  (wait until we hear how much we will need to increase defence spending by in the coming years) If a party stopped pretending all the money was wasted but published a list of costs, projections and proposals that wasn’t gutted to suit the landscape of needing to not bemonstered by the press or deemed too expensive by voters I would be very interested      can’t see that happening tho  (also worth reminding ourselves of all the brexiters who said things like “I don’t care how much it costs   I don’t care if I lose my job  it’s about taking back control!” And yet now we find them complaining about increasing costs. As they always will complain about everything  because it’s always someone else’s fault)   
    • I wouldn't be going all the way to Dobbies  just to take flowerpots! 😀 It's a very good garden centre with a wide range of well kept  plants and helpful staff, at least it was on the only occasion I've visited it, last year!
