Palace of Swords

I recently stumbled across this track by Nervous Choir, an early-80s Goth band from Aberdeen.

I think the music has actually aged quite well. What does everyone else think?

Nirvana were/are one of the most over-rated bands of all time.

Decidedly mediocre, in my opinion.

The Vaselines must have made a few quid on royalties, though - so it wasn't all bad.

Hmm, not really sure if this is experimental enough for this thread. Great track, though - from Brian Eno.

He is such a dick.

You may well be right.

A lot of good music has been made by dicks, though.

Nirvana were/are one of the most over-rated bands of all time.

Decidedly mediocre, in my opinion.

A new thread for experimental music - discussion and recommendations.

I'll start with an obvious one (still very good, though):

Here's a rather interesting Lou Reed interview from back in the day:

NB. Morrissey fans might recognise this.

This is one of my favourite Fall tracks - Big New Prinz.

The video is an excerpt from I am Kurious Oranj, a ballet featuring the very talented Michael Clark (from Aberdeen, incidentally)

It's about time there was some real punk on this thread:

Truly dreadful. I'm glad that there's only 30 seconds of this available - I really couldn't have listened to any more.

I'm off to play Metal Machine Music to cheer myself up.

Hex Enduction Ours is WFMU's album of the day:

Forgot to say....I'll be selling a limited edition cassette at my forthcoming art show in Kilau. There'll be a couple of new songs, plus radio & tv session versions of others, mostly from the USA. Every painting or collage in the exhibition will have a related song on the tape (should be about 20, hopefully).

Looking forward to hearing this as well.

I'm gonna try again this week at some point and I'll put up the results. The cassette revolution ftw!

Looking forward to hearing this.

C30, C60, C90, Go!

I await the outcome of this with dread.

Meanwhile, back in happier times:

I await the day Sony or some other such folks unleash a virus that wipes out all digital music, then encourages folks to buy it all again. We can enjoy our player-piano rolls, 78s etc and stick the vs up at them

That would be brilliant. The cassette revolution starts here!

Interestingly enough, I've just been asked to write an article on some of the more memorable gigs I've been to.

Still thinking about it, but I might mention The Jesus & Mary Chain (Venue 1986); The Cramps (Capital Theatre 1986); The Make Up (Edinburgh Venue 1999); The Pastels/Maher Shalal Hash Baz (Glasgow 13th Note 1999); Circulus (The Tunnels 2006).

(I'm not on commission, honestly!)

Did you get round to recording some lo-fi stuff, Flights?

Gosh, I hadn't heard this before. It could quite easily pass for a Stereolab track.

Talking of Stereolab, was it just me or was Laetitia Sadier's recent gig at the Tunnels a bit on the dull side?

Felt:

Felt – Absolute Classic Master Pieces

Seriously, though, Lawrence was/is one of the best lyricists of all time.

Last week's Electric Frog performance, available now for your listening pleasure:

Welcome to the wonderful and frightening world of Aberdeen Music, Pin.

Looking forward to forward to the new show

Eurythmics - Sing Sing

Gosh, I hadn't heard this before. It could quite easily pass for a Stereolab track.

Michael Rother's Hallogallo were great when they played Edinburgh last year. Did anyone else from here go to that one?

Oh, and I really like this Amon Duul track (perhaps because it reminds me of the Fall):

Great selections - the Kraftwerk clip is particularly good.
