OK since the other music threads were loading up pretty slow, thought I would start a new one.
I just learn tonite that there's a documentary video on Mark Stewart and his various bands. I know for alot of you the name doesn't ring a bell, but if you got off on seeing and hearing about Joy Division, Mark Stewart will please as well, if not better.
Here's the links to follow....
"The Pop Group split in 1981, with Stewart and two other members heading off to London to hook up with the emerging On-U Sound “conspiracy of outsiders” as part of the New Age Steppers. On-U became a focal point an absurdly diverse set of networks - punks, reggae players from both the UK and Jamaica and free-jazzers."

Check out the track 'Hysteria' on the myspace page. The song was recorded in 1990! 28 years ago and it be a hot song today! These guys were way ahead of their time.

From August 2008, the documentary ON/OFF: Mark Stewart - from the Pop Group to the Maffia by Tøni Schifer will be gracing selected cinemas and film festivals. The film retraces the singer's steps and paths from the early days of The Pop Group right up to the present.

The DVD will be released by Monitorpop in october/november 2008.

I've been listening to Karen Dalton (Green Rocky Road, the homemade recordings) and the Holy Modal Rounders and the Dillards lately. Right now I wish every song in the world had banjo in it. Even the Holy Modal Rounders songs that don't have banjo.
these are the records i am waiting for in the mail. pose a threat to the mailwoman and show up to my doorstep with them wearing nothing at all.

The gang of Devil worshippers butchered their victims and roasted them on a bonfire before devouring their flesh.
Horrified cops found body parts dumped in a pit beside an upside-down cross, a symbol used in Satanic worship.
The victims all suffered 666 knife wounds — the number associated with the Beast, or Antichrist, and featured in horror films such as The Omen.
The pals, three girls and a boy aged 16 or 17, were all Goths.

notice how he protects his man-boobs, and he has his eyes closed in anticipation of any falling dingle-berries
Actually I was dreaming here. I had Fluffa in a chock hold and was just about to squeeze the life out of him. I woke up shortly after this pic and realized it was just a dream. :-( I never been so depressed in my life!
I have a great new camera that's waterproof, shock proof, and crush proof. unfortunately, it's not ugly proof.
Big Gay Al broke my camera and owes me two bills!
This is hardly the obscure music some of you are looking to talk about, but did anyone catch the MGMT show last night at the Henry Fonda? Overall, I think they did a good job recreating their album live. I was worried they could only sound good through studio production, but they actually can pull it off live. That being said, the songs are all over the place. A handful are great and a handful are abysmally bad. It will be interesting to see which approaches they drop and those they continue with on the next album. I certainly have my preferences. Now that they've gotten kinda big, both audience reaction and some suits behind the scenes will probably sway direction.
I LOVE THE SOUNDTRACK TO THE ORIGINAL WICKER MAN!
i was outbid on an lp of music from it on ebay by about $65. the only record ive found that comes close to it is "first utterance" by comus.

Ridazz Roulette!
