Godspeed You Black Emperor! - f# a# ∞

As promised, here is a second post today to make up for yesterday's laziness. The significance of this record is that GY!BE played I'll Be Your Mirror last year and were incredible. I only went for one day and it was a choice between GY!BE + Portishead or Company Flow + Portishead. As awesome as it would have been to see Co Flow, I think I made the right choice (although, in sad news it seems that El-P can't play this year. I do hope I get to see him soon).

My friend Aled raved about Godspeed for ages and for some reason I went for a very long time without listening to them. I found this in Amoeba in San Francisco and added it to the large number of records I was already buying. I think the "original 1997 lp" printed on the plastic sleeve is a reference to the songs on the record, rather than when it was pressed (you wouldn't print that on a record in 1997, nor would you find the first print of f# a# ∞ for such a reasonable price). The cd has a very different tracklisting and is a bit longer, but if there were ever an album worth having on vinyl it's this one.

I've tried to capture quite how lovely the package is in the pictures, but there's more than the envelope full of goodies and the flattened coin (I love the idea of someone sat by a train track putting Canadian cents on the track solely for putting in these sleeves, not to mention that it's a crime to destroy an image of the queen!). The track names are etched into the groove run-offs and the title of the album is a reference to the locked-groove at the end of Side B, so the final notes, f# and a#, just repeat for ever. These things are lost on cds.

Also, musically it's perfect the way it is. On first listen I thought the intro to Nervous, Sad, Poor... went on too long, but now I know to be patient. For me though, it's all about side B. The whole 17 minutes of it is beautiful. I'd not seen 28 Days Later before getting the album so when he starts wandering around the empty, deserted streets of London and East Hastings kicks in I was amazed. I'd never considered it to be the sort of music that would fit a film (of course it had to be heavily edited) but it worked so brilliantly. I don't think of the film in general now when it breaks, but I do think about the isolation and desolation of that scene. I've often just played Bleak, Uncertain, Beautiful a few times over in a row, and let the locked groove run a bit (whilst I'm told it's f# and a# at the end, it could be anything - my musical talents don't extend anywhere near as far to confirm that).

ATP announced this morning a GY!BE gig for November in the Forum, which I've now got tickets for. I'm willing to believe that every show is as good as the one I saw in Alexandra Palace last year, so it should be good. This blog doesn't get a huge number of views (to say the least) and if you've read this far, it's probably because you're interested in the band or a massive vinyl nerd like myself. If the latter, then I imagine the lush packaging here will tempt you, but in either case have a listen to some of the music because it's really wonderful.

Mudhoney - The Lucky Ones

This weekend is the second UK ATP I'll Be Your Mirror festival and I'm excited for many reasons. One of those is that I get to see Mudhoney again, who were possibly the highlight of the 10 Year Birthday ATP a few years ago. With that in mind, I thought I should write about one of their records (and since I didn't post anything yesterday, I'm going to try to squeeze out another post later).

As I think is the case for most people, I have no idea when I first heard about Mudhoney. You're a teenager and so you learn about Nirvana, and somehow you absorb information about all the other bands of the era - Mudhoney, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Melvins. (As it happens, I do know the first time I heard of Soundgarden, but more on that another time.) I remember going into my local record shop (which only sold cds) after school one day and thinking about buying the compilation March to Fuzz, but deciding against it because I was low on cash. I eventually bought it about 5 years later. I kinda wish I had bought it sooner. Not only does the first disc contain so many incredible songs, the second has covers by bands it would take me years to discover by myself. An education in a cool band and the bands they thought were cool.

This record came out in the middle of my Tuesday-record-from-Spillers year and they had it in a few weeks later. Sub Pop were one of the first labels I was aware of putting download codes in with every release, a practice I like. This one also came with a bonus 7", an added bonus. I would have picked it up anyway I think. I'd got the Live Mud record sometime earlier and was pretty into Mudhoney at the time.

I was pretty pleased when I took it home and gave it a spin, and I still am now. The opener I'm Now is suitably massive and there are highlights like The Lucky Ones and Running Out all throughout the record. We Are Rising would be a bit of a lame closer, but luckily New Meaning brings it back. They have a somehow rounder sound these days, the fuzz is less sharp but I like it. The riffs are still groovy and that's one of the things I love about them. The 7" is pretty nice (labelled Side A on one side and Side 1 on the other). Two covers by bands I've never heard (Pere Ubu and The Troggs), but you could easily believe they were Mudhoney songs.

When I finally got to see them at the 10 Year ATP I was just amazed. They had so much energy and so many tunes and I had a great time. They were pretty much the only band I saw that weekend with a "normal" line up - guitar, bass, drums, vocals - almost every other act had multiple drummers (big fan. When the Melvins wheeled out the two Modest Mouse drummers for the 4-drummer finale we all got a little too excited) or something else non-standard. I'm not saying these things are gimmicky, but it says a lot that a band with just four guys playing regular instruments can blow me away even more. Which means that it just comes down to the songs. And Mudhoney have those songs in buckets.

The Decemberists - The King is Dead

I quite like this record. It got a lot of attention when it came out because it wasn't a concept album, like their last few had been. That didn't bother me much at all. I enjoyed their last album, The Hazards of Love, too. It's not necessarily what you'd expect from The Decemberists, but I thought it worked ok. I saw them live for the first time when they toured The King is Dead and I think all the songs stood their own ground pretty well; the riffs of the last album and the chilled folk of the new one.

I guess this album is quite refreshing when compared The Hazards of Love. I like that it's just 10 songs, simple, no concept. And the songs are really good too. Down By the Water and This is Why We Fight are my highlights, but the others all have their moments too. It feels a lot more like their first couple of albums.

I got the album a few days after it came out in Banquet. I remember the guy behind the counter that day (possibly Ollie) being very excited for the new album and chatting to him about it for a bit.

Nothing very exciting to say about this record, sorry. It's nice. Check it out.

Hundred Reasons - Ideas Above Our Station

Hundred Reasons pointed out yesterday that it has now been 10 years (and one day) since Ideas Above Our Station came out, and my list tells me that it's exactly 10 years ago today that I bought the cd (I guess I couldn't make it down to MVC on the Monday). A bunch of us bought it when it came out, we'd been listening to the band for nearly two years by this point already by the way of their incredible first 3 EPs and having been introduced by a demo of Different on a Rock Sound cd. It was clearly going to be a big album; they were getting a lot of press and I still remember the huge poster in the Joiners advertising the album. The fact that 10 years later I'm still listening to the album is an indication of quite how massive it was.

The very start of I'll Find You is one of those moments that instantly puts a smile on my face. Partly because it's a great little riff, but mostly because I know the next 40 minutes will keep me smiling. There's not a song on this album I don't love. The singles all had plenty of play before the record came out, but songs like What Thought Did and Drowning are as catchy and brilliant themselves. Much like the first Deftones album, I have no idea what Colin is singing half of the time, but I still sung along as best I could every time I saw them.

A few years later Hugh and I were off to see This Is Menace in the LA2 (supported by Colin's other band, The Lucky Nine) and had a browse of Selectadisc beforehand (now called Sister Ray, but always Selectadisc to me). This was back when they used to have stupidly cheap LPs and we found Ideas Above Our Station for £1 in the racks. We both owned the cd from the week it came out, but it's nice to have the classics on vinyl. The records survived the gig and now sits proudly on my shelves.

The fact it had been 10 years since this came out didn't surprise me, I knew the anniversary was coming up. A short while back they announced they were going to be playing Ideas in full at Banquet's Big Day Out. I had planned to go anyway, but with Hundred Reasons playing I had to. I'm pretty sure it will be the highlight of the whole summer, let alone the festival. I've mentioned before, and I'm sure I will again, how much I love shows where bands play an album in full. Two of the best were Full Collapse and Fever To Tell, but I'm saving a space in the top 3 for this one. We saw them countless times back in the day and throughout their career. I always had such a good time. If I could choose my ideal HR setlist, it would probably just be this album (maybe with Remmus too) so it suffices to say that I'm pretty excited. The BDO show is going to be a very special way to remember such an awesome album.

Manic Street Preachers - National Treasures - The Selected Singles

This is the first of many. When I was 15 I bought a copy of Motorcycle Emptiness on 7" at a record fair and discovered how awesome vinyl was. I'm sure I will rant about this at length when I come to write about that record. The Manics were my favourite band at the time. I owned the five albums they had at the time on cd and wanted to hear absolutely everything they'd written. (They were a great band to obsess over - an image, a vast back catalogue to discover, books written on them, but also the fact that their punk roots were hidden slightly in their new mainstream appeal - you could feel cool in knowing they once were too.) Over the years I blew most of my cash on Manics records trying (in vain) to have everything they'd ever released (a task I now know to be too vast for a teenager). Eventually, I started spending my money on other bands I was getting into and my Manics collection stopped far short of complete. However, I do keep up and buy the new albums when they come out. When I read about this one my teenage-self knew I had to buy it, so I did.

(Side note: I very much admire this guy's blog for his dedication to seeking out every record his favourite bands have released. Somehow the record collector in me has faded over the years. There are bands I love, but I just don't have the cash to spend on rare 7"s anymore. Maybe I'll get back into it once I get a proper job again.)

So this is a fairly lovely package. I've never read Q magazine in my life (my younger days were spent with Kerrang, Metal Hammer and Rock Sound) and, despite now owning a copy, I still haven't. This was marketed as a free record with the magazine, but really it's a free magazine with the record (especially at £15). Q magazine's birthday really means nothing to me, but this record is a nice, albeit brief, summary of the Manics work. The new song (a John Cale cover) adds to the appeal.

I was surprised to see that they were putting out another MSP best of, given that Forever Delayed hadn't come out that long before. But then it is nice to hear just 45 minutes worth, rather than a full history. Maybe these aren't the 14 songs I'd have chosen, but they're all classics nonetheless. With the exception of the last two, I have all these songs on vinyl elsewhere, so I'm sure I'll rant at length at a later date about their individual merits.

I will say this however, I saw the Manics show at the o2 arena in December where they played all the singles over a couple of hours. I had forgotten quite how much I adored this band and why, but hearing these songs again brought it all back. They had so many incredible songs. My love for them came back that night. Generation Terrorists was the fourth album I ever owned and the other four albums up to This is My Truth... were all in the first 10 albums, so I pretty much never listen to them. I know them backwards. But the show reminded me that I'd neglected these classics. So whilst this record may seem like a redundant bit of record collecting, it really is a great reminder of a fantastic band. This can probably be seen as an introduction to my Manics records, as they'll be many more posts on this band to come.

Owen Pallett - Heartland

The first I heard of Owen Pallett was on a mixtape given to me by an Australian friend. She had included the song The CN Tower Belongs to the Dead amongst 15 or so other songs that tried quite hard to prove she had a cooler taste in music than me (I responded with a cd starting with Guns 'n' Roses to prove that I didn't care). It was undoubtedly one of the highlights and I eventually bought his two albums as Final Fantasy. Some time later he played in a church in Cardiff and it was a lovely show. Watching one man with just a violin and a loop pedal play such intricate songs was fascinating and impressive in equal measures. The applause was so great he even played a few songs unplugged in the car park afterwards for us. I'd heard of bands doing that but never seen it. I've also never seen so many people so deadly quiet, just listening. It was a very good show indeed.

A few months after Heartland came out I was in Cardiff for the weekend, so went back into Spillers (where I'd spent many hours during the time I lived in Wales). I bought a few things, including this LP, in what would turn out to be my last trip to Spillers before they moved into the arcade. Whilst Banquet serves me well for punk records, Spillers is still the place to go for alternative indie things like this. For probably quite a few reasons, I never got into this one properly, so I'm going to sit back and listen to it now.

Well, it's now forty-five minutes later and I'm slightly more keen on the record than I was before. Lewis Takes Action through to Lewis Takes His Shirt Off are all great songs, as is the closer. The rest still doesn't quite grab me. Concept records are often tricky (the theme here has similarities to Fucked Up's David Comes to Life, a concept album I adore). All in all, not a bad record, but not my favourite of his. Certainly still worth a listen.

And So I Watch You From Afar - Gangs

I bought this record after seeing ASIWYFA for the first time. It was in the Scala on the second night of their tour and they had blown me away. I'd listened to the first album on bandcamp beforehand and thought I knew what to expect, but I was wrong. I'd figured it'd be an evening of mathy-post-rock; instead it was all-out-riffy-as-fuck-party-post-rock, and I was amazed.

Sarah had been ranting about them from the off, but I missed a few chances to see them. When a friend raves adoringly about a band it's usually worth at least checking them out, especially when you respect their music taste (and sometimes even if you don't). She'd probably said the first LP isn't a patch on their live shows, which can be said for this one too. But that's only because their live show was incredible and no one can ever quite capture that on record. This record does come close though. The adrenaline comes through, and some of the tunes are so massive it would be impossible for them not to sound good. I think it was just that the live show was so awesome.

And this is a great record. The opener gets the blood pumping within seconds, and the only rest comes when you have to turn it over. 7 Billion People All Alive At Once is my highlight, the first ever vocals adding so much (still no actual words). I've used it as an opener to mixtapes a number of times. Side 2 doesn't disappoint at all either. The triple gatefold sleeve is pretty lovely too. A great record from an even better live band.

The Bouncing Souls - How I Spent My Summer Vacation

A truly classic album. Last year The Bouncing Souls played four nights in London, each night playing two of their albums in full (a concept I adore). I only had Hopeless Romantics and Summer Vacation at the time, so I went to those two nights. I think part of the reason why the Summer Vacation night was so good was because every single song was massive and such fun to jump around to and sing along. I like the excitement of knowing that they're going to play certain songs. It's almost like being prepared for the excitement somehow makes it more enjoyable, even though I know it should be the other way round (the joy of a good surprise).

True Believers and Gone are two of my favourite Bouncing Souls songs, but the other 11 are all excellent. That Song starts the album perfectly ("I put the needle on the record, and I play that song again"). Manthem and Break Up Song are exactly the songs you expect them to be, but make a great duo. Gone is fantastic way to close the album, and a cracking song on it's own.

I bought this one on the same trip to Amoeba as the Low + The Dirty Three record, and a whole bunch of others. I think this album has always been in print and I'm sure Banquet have had it in stock at various points, but I was spending money and I'm glad it got caught up in that storm. It's basically a perfect punk rock record; songs about music, girls and hanging out with friends; upbeat but heavy. Like I said, a classic.

The Arteries - Beers

The final release show for Beers was a bitch to get to; a Sunday night, rail replacement buses, losing people on the way, rain, and not quite knowing where in Swansea Monkey bar was. Still we made it and had a great time again.

In my mind, this is the heaviest of the three. Somehow everything just seems turned up. The songs are still catchy as fuck, as all Arteries songs have been before and after this record. Three Cats is my favourite here. There was some sort of mess up with the order so they ended up with all the records the night before the show without any outer sleeves. A full night of folding brown paper results in the sleeve in the pictures. I like it personally. I can see its a shame they don't all match, but what's more DIY than sitting up all night folding sleeves? They went to town on the packages: Jamie's artwork, lyric sheets and coloured vinyl. The records were all coloured to match the titles, although I'm not sure I've ever seen beer this colour (but what do I know with my colour-blind eyes).

In the end, the three EPs were put together to make their debut album Blood, Sweat and Beers (minus one song from each, with a new one added in). It's a cracking album, but having seen the EPs come out it felt like we were more involved in the process somehow, seeing the album take shape. I like a good project and this one was a fantastic one. I'm excited to see them again tonight because I have such fond memories. But also because they're ace.

The Arteries - Sweat

I will cautiously say that Sweat is my favourite of the EPs. Divergence is certainly my favourite of the songs and Shortcuts is pretty awesome too. I made it to the release show for this one (pretty sure The Slowdance and The Cut Ups were supporting, but I could be mistaken). Cardiff to Swansea always felt like more of a trek than it actually was, but it was certainly worth it. I'm also reasonably sure that they played a cover of Turbonegro's All My Friends Are Dead (it seems covers at the release shows were a thing, and I might be right in remembering that they played Bon Jovi at the Beers show).

The sleeve has "Sweat Party" printed on it, which couldn't be more true: it was sweaty and it was a party. They're a party band and there was a great atmosphere at the shows. I think everyone in South Wales was so fond of them it was great to see them releasing these awesome records (DIY through and through) and doing so well for themselves. (In the pictures for Sweat and Beers I still have the nice screenprinted tickets for the shows telling you which number record was yours. I have numbers 31, 187 and 61, respectively. I think some people managed to get all three the same, which is pretty cool.)

The Arteries - Blood

I'm going to see The Arteries tonight for the first time in ages. I've never seen them play a bad show, so I'm looking forward to it. With that in mind, I thought I'd write about their first three 10" EPs.

I can't remember the first time I saw The Arteries. It was certainly whilst I was living in Wales but we saw a lot of bands over those two years. I definitely didn't make to the release show for Blood (I was away, a perfectly good excuse) so this one was picked up eventually from Damaged in Cardiff (it contains a press release from Jamie for Welly, who ran the shop, which I guess he accidentally left inside the sleeve). I'm pretty glad he had a copy in because I'd have been gutted to be missing one of the trilogy.

There's an urgency to the start of No Guts No Glory that doesn't stop at any point over the three EPs. "Tell the world we're here, this now is our time" couldn't be more appropriate. The four songs that follow don't disappoint either. With just five short songs you're left wanting more, which makes it very convenient that there are two more to come.

New End Original - Thriller

I just spent half an hour carrying out the BBC's online Musicality experiment. My results weren't very surprising: I am very enthusiastic about music but have very little by the way of talent. These things I knew. However, I was surprised that I only scored 51% for Emotional Connection. Lots of music means a lot to me, and certain records to places and people. Evidently there's more than that to an "emotional connection". Or perhaps I just didn't answer the questions honestly enough. Either way, here is a record to which I had a strong emotional connection best forgotten.

I got this record as a present from my ex-girlfriend (by the time it arrived it was a belated six month-iversary present). I'm a big fan of Jonah Matranga's music and had been since I bought a copy of Tin Cans With Strings to You nearly 10 years ago. I've seen him countless times and have albums of his under more names than I can count. This record though has always been my favourite. I first heard it years ago when Hugh brought the cd round to my house. I enjoyed it, but forgot about it a bit. A few years later and a few weeks after we moved to Cardiff, Jonah was playing in Spillers. We went along, watched the show and got him to sign some of our cds. Hugh had Thriller on vinyl by this point (which I was quite jealous of) and got it signed. I'd been listening to it during the day (I was still jobless at this point) and remembered how great it was. Rarely are there so many incredible songs on one album. Some months later (now with a job) I was in Generation Records in New York and found the cd for $2. I was very happy with this purchase.

Fast-forward a few years and I was having a conversation with my now ex-girlfriend about how jealous I was of Hugh's blue vinyl of Thriller. We'd been to see Jonah together, and taking on my comment she sought out a copy as a gift for me. Thoughtful as it was, we of course broke up (not long afterwards) and somehow this record got caught up in my negativity and how much of a dick she was being, so I didn't listen to it for ages. I'd flick though my records but skip past it because I thought it'd remind me of her and annoy me all over again. Eventually I realised this was stupid and played the record. Despite the connections I'd made to it, it was still awesome. I may have made these associations in my head, but the record is so good I forgot all about them.

Lukewarm is one of my favourite of Jonah's songs and I'm glad he plays it live so often. When I got the cd I was already getting bored of my job and knew I should do something more interesting. That songs became a bit of an anthem for finding a career I liked more and getting on with it. The whole of Side 3 is amazing. I love how Weary Progress brings it all back after the slow Better Than Ever. I also love Better Than Ever and Better Than This as a pair of songs, each closing half of the album, and how great Better Than This is as a closer in general. I'm not quite sure whether calling this a "Jonah album" is massively underplaying the role the band had in the recording, but it's an incredible record either way (I'm a big fan of Texas is the Reason too, a band I got into entirely independently). Jonah's live shows with an acoustic guitar are great, but I think his voice works so well with a full band behind him. I've had the good fortune to see full band shows a couple of times and they're treats too.

The colour of the vinyl is probably a factor in why I now own this record. I like to have my favourite albums on vinyl, so I probably would have picked it up on any colour eventually, had I seen it. The blue is lovely. This one was shipped over from the states, and the sleeve took a minor battering it seems.

So maybe the BBC experiment was right. If I can completely ignore an emotional connection for the sake of good music, maybe I don't associate emotions with music that much. Or maybe the associations I thought I had were just really insignificant in comparison to the ones I'd made years before about how great the music is and the positivity of songs like Lukewarm and Better Than This.

Attack in Black + Baby Eagle - Attack in Black and Baby Eagle

I bought this one whilst on holiday in Canada a few years back. A bunch of us had been travelling around the East a bit and at the end I had a few days to kill in Toronto, so I did the usual and went out in search of record shops. I found a couple of good ones, this one came from Criminal Records (I just googled them and it turns out they've closed down. Sad news).

I got into Attack in Black after seeing them support Far in TJ's in Newport. The name is terrible, so we assumed they'd be shit. Luckily they were the exact opposite; fantastic songs played awesomely, and the singer had this cockiness that added to their charm. Hugh bought Marriage on vinyl at the show and I remain annoyed that I didn't/jealous of his copy. I got the cd from my sister at Christmas and I adore it. The thing that got me was that it was so different to my memories of their live show. But it turns out that is something Attack in Black seem to specialise in; every one of their records sounds totally different. The songs they play here sound more like the ones on Years, but it was around the same time so it makes sense I guess.

It's a split record in the way I always felt splits should be: two bands covering each other's songs. Attack in Black take on four songs by Baby Eagle, and vice versa. When I bought it I think I hadn't even heard of the Constantines, let alone known the singer also wrote songs as Baby Eagle, so we can safely say I bought it for Attack in Black. Their songs are good, but I really do prefer the heavier sound they used to have. The dual vocals on Let Wander Your Restless Hearts are lovely though.

I really enjoy the Baby Eagle side. Maybe its because I know the songs as their originals. I bought Years on the same trip so I didn't know Leather Jacket and Leaving Your Death... that well. However, I had listened to Inches and Ages and Marriage countless times and these covers are great. I think it's because they're punk songs originally (whereas the other two are basically country). When stripped down like these versions (Marriage is nearly spoken-word) are you can see them as much more.

It's a short record, but it's pretty nice. I'd fully recommend picking it up, although Marriage is the essential Attack in Black record as far as I'm concerned.
