Planted over the spring months, tiny buds struggling against the harsh tail-end of winter, carefully-nurtured journals are now beginning to bloom and flower, and like a ... you know what? **** it. Here's a picture of a garden. You get the idea, and if you don't, boil your head.


So what's in the garden? Snails, slugs and many biting insects, most likely, as well as surely carnivorous plants put there expressly by Batty in an attempt to – OW! **** him! Anyway, there are also these...

Having your username start with a number, or indeed a symbol, guarantees you'll be first in, as long as you update, and as http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...l-pleases.html pretty much every month, you can more or less expect something from him. And this month's something is a review of the Residents album, Meet The Residents. He thinks it's weird. He's right.

Some more “Flamenco Guitar Albums you Must Hear” in http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...o-journal.html include Antonio Rey, Pepe Habichuela and Jeronimo Maya. There are a lot more. Apparently.

Batty is back not only with http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...ite-about.html, in which he's examining some, to quote him, ****ing Savage Breakdowns, including Cryptopsy, Slayer and Zao, but also kicking the door down for a http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...s-journal.html, where he's less than impressed over his leading lady's godbothering new single. Oh and just in under the wire (shup up) he's also updating http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...-oblivion.html, with a sarcastic look at Extreme Justice. Don't think he likes it much. El Batlord no te gusta!

As usual, Frownland is http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...r-journal.html where he's checking out King Goblin. No, the beer! Well, I think it's the beer. He does get pretty wasted. But always with style ...

and http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...obably-dl.html, one of which is Ke$ha again, as already reviewed by Batty in the journal above, and Goofle here. Guess these two can agree on something after all.

There are the last installments of http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...rds-9-5-a.html from Innerspaceboy, as he celebrates his newfound freedom and feeling of job satisfaction, while in http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...nnerspace.html he's “Learning to Listen all over again” and also exploring “The Lost Classic of Hip House Plunderphonia”. Hmm. I guess we're talking KLF again huh? Yup, seems like it.

Lotsa ladies in http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...ong-picks.html this month, with Joan Baez, Julia Fordham, Cris Williamson and Shannon Wright.

A new journal from our Mondo, as he opines http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...ke-better.html, and goes on to prove it by talking about Circle Takes the Square, High Wolf, Gridlink and a whole lot more.

Bowie, Comus and Skara Brae, all on the playlist with a lot more at http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...um-musica.html

Neapolitan advises us that The Symposium are to be found in http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...dern-rock.html

After calling time on and shutting down his Experimental Music journal, OccultHawk is going http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...p-lighter.html, where he's reviewing music as diverse as Black Metal (Fen), Indie (Hollow Coves) and Hip-Hop (Dalek). There's also Thelonius Monk, Alexander Scriabin and even a look into the year 1927, for some reason. Plenty for all tastes.

“Africa”'s on http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...crap-heap.html. Not literally, you understand, though some living in the poorer parts might think that a true sentiment. No, Pet_Sounds just likes the smash hit from Toto. Hey, don't we all?

Brushing up on http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...bums-year.html, we have Homeboy Sandman, Mac Demarco, Priests and many more. Well, seven more, to be precise.

Time to bring back

and the first recipient of the hastily-updated award is
Occulthawk
for all the work and labour he's put into his new journal. Sound man!
(Mondo, you should know it was a close run thing between you. Sorry.)


goes to Innerspaceboy, for the final chapters in his hilarious http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...rds-9-5-a.html

As for
Funny Post

of the Month
well that as usual goes to his Batness, for this witty response to Mord's offer to him to come over to Mord's house and observe Catholics.

An offer you can't refuse, huh?

And that's it for this month. Keep watering those journals, guys! See you in September, when the frost begins to bite...
Toodles!
