I like this lots...

The curse has broken.  No fractured limbs, no car crashes, not a damn thing happened to keep me from seeing Trail of Dead this time, and they were every bit as as awesome as I'd dared hoped.  From the moment Ode to Isis started up and led into a crushing It Was There That I saw You, I was totally buzzing.  It was a decent mix of old and new, with Weight of the Sun and A Perfect Teenhood joining the openers as highlights.  The venue was great, the sound was great, everyone and everything was bloody great.

Didn't see Conrad stitching people up with his biro drawings, not that I looked anywhere but the bar though.

As it's on my mind, OBE are playing in Islington on Thursday. Worth checking out.

Not really been as into OBE as many others.

I give you Paddy Steer!

Paddy Steer made me smile!  Been listening to a bit of PRE over the last couple of nights.

Mugstar now available on that iPlayer link!

Beans, hope the Barberos gig went ok.

I bought a couple of Gnod albums a while back but it's not really my taste. Too jammy. This one sounds a bit more organised though, but still has their trademark droning.



Also, I recently bought a Necro Deathmort album which I'm quite curious to hear when it gets delivered.



And I can't tell if I like Astrohenge or not.

Some great stuff on here. Not sure if they fit in this thread, but if you like drone Barn Owl are fantastic. Saw them in Glasgow a few weeks ago and they were blinding. Also been listening to quite a bit of In Zaire, specifically White Sun Black Sun. If it doesn't fit, I'll take my shit over to the alternative music thread.

Yup, Barn Owl are great.  Not familiar with In Zaire, but just added White Sun Black Sun to my Spotify playlists for consumption later on.

Tried some AIDS Wolf.  Similar to PRE, it's just a whole lotta noise really .



Listened to some of Lightning Bolt's very own Brian Chippendale's other work.  I'm diggin' a bit of Mindflayer and Black Pus.





Also been delving back into my CD collection to digitise some albums I'd missed and came across some blinders.  Daughters and Genghis Tron are boss, and These Arms Are Snakes were one of the most under appreciated post-hardcore bands around, their sound unmistakable and their live shows unforgettable.  If you listen to any of the tracks all the way through, Subtle Body (the last vid) is the one to go for.

Seen them a couple of times Beano, good fun.  I mean, I can't say I'm a massive fan of their recorded output (though Cosmology has grown on me), but there's just something about them I want to like.

2 vanilla balls playing Friday and Saturday.

I borrowed a CD of some of their stuff years ago but it was pretty unlistenable, which was probably the point. Almost went to see them live too but I think there must have been something better happening that night. I remember something about there being violent confrontations with audiences but not sure if that was just hype.

Excite.

Circuit bent cartridge and megadrive to provide glitch tunes and visuals. Visuals were employed here.

8 or 9 mins of drunk filming. Also, Springbok above was quite drunk also when doing the visuals. But overall it was lovely.

I've been meaning to stick on Bird Seed again this week funnily enough, blasted Great White Death during a train journey last weekend, total classic. Activities have ceased, William is doing his solo thing with Cut Hands currently. Caught his set in London last october which was incredible.
