That's a bit of a din (sorry DrH too)

My first gig was Motorhead on the Bomber Tour - this makes them sound like a well tuned Gospel Choir...

I've followed a few of the posted links over the last few weeks and I need to ask. Are you two completely tone deaf?

hahaa, far from it. I like to think I have a broad appreciation of music. Right now I'm listening to some Lenny White (nice slabs of funky jazz-rock fusion). I can give anything the time of day - as long as I can see what they're trying to achieve and how they're going about it. I don't suffer musical fools gladly. That last thing I linked (Orthrelm) - I remember walking out of one of their gigs in 2003 because I just couldn't take it (they were supporting The Locust - who are frenetic madmen (madder than Lightening Bolt with deranged Moog jolts here and there)). I'd stand and watch them all day if I had that opportunity again! Free yo' mind and don't let any bullshit get the better of you

Lenny White - I could listen to, although I think it's a bit Camel/Marillion/Prog Rock for my taste (or certainly Astral Pirates anyhow), not much listened to since...I generally think I'm in the same place in terms of what they're trying to achieve etc. I am thinking after listening to a bit of New Lightning Bolt and Orthelm, there might be a market to make some money out there (time to fire Cubase up and get some down)...9 minutes (well that's as far as I got) of Orthelm is enough to convince me that they're clueless chancers, but good luck to them, if they can crowbar real money out of folks for it!

Been a while, old friend.

The latest offering from the lovely chaps at Public Service Broadcasting



Playing live too in about two weeks. Who would have thunk it?!

[Dr Hotdog]

NEW FAILURE:
This is the first track on their first album since 1996. A Triumphant Return!

[Worthy4England]

Should I give it a whirl, Dr H?

[Dr Hotdog]

You might be pleasantly surprised. It's got structure and focus...!

If you're on spotify or owt like that you can probably stream their 90s albums.

Edited the first post - that's the official vid from the band!

Yep. They produced some excellent but sadly neglected output. Their new stuff sounds good. I'm hopeful they can get enough buzz to justify a full UK Tour soon.

Meanwhile, last week I went to watch Oozing Wound in a small basement club in Leeds.

I started a blog a long time ago, mostly about music, and this summer I'm going to try and be a bit more prolific. Review some gigs and albums and rant about stuff I don't like.

The other night I went to see Kayo Dot and they blew me away with their sublime dexterity.

Here's the blog:
