Simple Minds back in the day were amazing. Before they went all poppy ‘Breakfast Club’ with ‘(Dont You) Forget About Me’, they were actually quite experimental and produced some dance punk gems, namely on their third album, ‘Empires and Dance’.
MP3: Simple Minds – This Fear Of Gods
So I haven’t posted diddly for awhile, real sorry. I some how fumbled myself into a 9 to 5 job. Bazaar, I know but I’ve learnt some valuable adult life skills by working an honest job. For Example. The majority of middle aged people are the most ridiculous people alive. Vent. Ok, now that ive [...]
One of the best eclectic mixes I have heard in ages. As good as/better than most Optimo or Glimmers mixes. Huge props to Tosh Ohta (and to one of the best blogs around for the link, The Beat!).
Tracklisting:
# Happy Mondays – Wrote for Luck (Tribute edit) / Tribute
# Moloko – Sing It Back (Mousse T’s [...]
Love of Diagrams, Melbourne, have just released their third album, Nowhere Forever, and it is amazing. Coming from a band thats roots lie in the sounds of NY No Wave and UK Post Punk, that band has taken these sounds and grown and developed them, fusing more recently with 80’s/90’s Shoegaze and Dream-Pop, to create [...]
So of late Ive been getting really heavily back into old NY No Wave and experimental punk, and gone through pretty much every compilation I could dig up on the scene, but Im finding the tracks that have really been standing out for me are still the slightly poppier numbers. From a recent compilation that [...]
To get yourselves started on some fantastic music, I suggest first hunting down the three New York Noise Compilations. Every one is bursting with amazing late 70’s/early 80’s New York No Wave, Death Disco, and Noise Rock. From there move on to at least the first two Mutant Disco comps (the first one is the [...]
I dont care if its all starting to sound the same, I will always be excited for a new Black Moth Super Rainbow tune. The new album ‘Eating Us’ a very slight change in direction from ‘Dandelion Gum’ but essentially follows all the same rules. If it aint broke…
MP3: Black Moth Super Rainbow – Iron [...]
The Horrors. I dont know. I loved ‘Sheena Was A Parasite’ (and the mind splitting video by Chris Cunningham) but I never really bought into the hype, or admittedly really gave their first album a proper listen. So it was such a surprise when I had a flick through their new offering, Primary Colours, to [...]
My Dad used to tell me that The Presets were just ripping off Depeche Mode. I didn’t really get it until I really started listening to them. This track I first saw on Rage years and years ago, then on the Anton Corbijn directors DVD and it kinda just stuck in my head. I suggest [...]
Well here comes another Song Of The Week post. Not much that interesting has really been grabbing me recently. I am excited however about one of my favorite bands (Black Moth Super Rainbow) releasing a new album in the next few months, called ‘Eating Us’ (out on Graveface Records). If you don’t know of/haven’t listened [...]
Brooklyn drum-and-drone band Dinowalrus have started stirring again, with news of a new 7″ about to be pressed and launched out into the world. These guys sound like nothing much else out there. The new release is limited to a run of 200, and is available at Kim’s, Other Music, Academy, EAT, passout, and Earwax. [...]
Its been rather quiet around the Waves camp recently. Sorry about that guys.
First up is a new track that Ive only just been allowed to post. Oh Mercy are a band sitting comfortably amongst the new up-and-coming crop of Melbourne artists starting to make a name for themselves including The Harpoons, Little Red, Seagull, Touch [...]
LATE YOUNG
I was raised
in the place of the bloodless births
where the cigarettes are longer
than my fingers
i still cut my nails to the knuckle.
Yeah!!! Death! Satan! rye bread! believeee! Check it out, Late Young
MP3: LATE YOUNG – MONOCHROME
So for like 2 months i’ve been harassed to put up about this band, Jan Mayen and i’m seriously dumbfounded to why i haven’t done so (sorry D). I’m also terrible when it comes to explaining the background of bands… so i usually make a half arse metaphor like “If The Strokes beat up [...]
