Cornershop - Judy Sucks a Lemon For Breakfast (2009)

Cornershop's first album in something like 5 years, they probably live comfortably off 'Brimful of Asha' royalties, and for this reason people are willing to discard some great music and write them off as one hit wonders... First off they've always been very satirical with some sharp lyrics, and their first two albums were great shambolic indie that often get overlooked... they've slipped into a poppy Eastern/rock/electronic rut since then, and this album is business as usual - i find this rut become more of a groove (eh?) when they segue into the instrumentals, and they get a bit breakbeat/hip-hop-y. Good album flow is a feature of their later stuff. And there's a sitar-led cover of 'Waterloo Sunset' which is pretty un-bad.


V/A - Darker Skratcher (1980)

I was expecting big things from this as I am a big fan of Steaming Coils, luminaries of the L.A. Free Music Society, of which this provides a compendium. However this vinyl rip is hit and miss; simply because amongst the avant-pop experiments are some derivative bands that don't stimulate the brain and body quite like thee mighty Coils (who managed to be both inaccessible and accessible at the same time). It's not completely worthless however and provides a useful look-in to an obscure, occasionally brilliant little scene

Amon Düül II - Wolf City (1972)

About as accessible as Krautrock ever got without losing its essence. Kudos for the spacey atmosphere also.
A pair of 5-Star albums you've got there my friend. Enjoy Eternal Bliss is so perfect, and what's crazy is that the entire band were teenagers when the album was made.

It's not just MJ, it's Off the Wall. You can have all the other albums he made.

Guided By Voices - Bee Thousand


Because after all this time Alien Lanes finally clicked with me (Molecules sent it to me sometime last year I think) and I needed more.

I brought Chipmunk's I am Chipmunk. I brought it for my sister, I haven't listened to it, I'm not into that kind of music at all.

I only have the cover. Apparently the record disappeared without a trace.
