While searching for a pic of Mr Albini I found this essay by him at Negativland.
"The Problem With Music
by Steve Albini

Whenever I talk to a band who are about to sign with a major label, I always end up thinking of them in a particular context. I imagine a trench, about four feet wide and five feet deep, maybe sixty yards long, filled with runny, decaying shit. I imagine these people, some of them good friends, some of them barely acquaintances, at one end of this trench. I also imagine a faceless industry lackey at the other end holding a fountain pen and a contract waiting to be signed. Nobody can see what's printed on the contract. It's too far away, and besides, the shit stench is making everybody's eyes water. The lackey shouts to everybody that the first one to swim the trench gets to sign the contract.

The Red Sparrows - post rock instrumentals - oh yep!

Quote:
"The Red Sparrows is great for fans of the post rock instrumental crowd. The band is made up of band members from Halifax Pier, Isis, and Neurosis. While we have some heavy psych rock feelings with the Red Sparrows, there’s also a hint of influence from Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine".

My Pursuit For Truth



My Pursuit for Truth.

Download/listen to their tunes here.

The Kabuki Mono


Check them out here.
" Gorgeous, absolutely exquisite "
- Mary Anne Hobbs, The Breezeblock, BBC Radio 1"

"They went out and got the best drummer in the land - Mat Harding (Welsh punkniks ‘Mclusky’). They wanted a different guitarist. The best. They got their man in the shape of Lee Marshall,(Cardiffs premier glitch wizard ‘Underpass’). They looked at what they had, and it was good. Half of Cardiff's premier indie band, a skins legend and a breakbeat master."

Download 6 of their tunes here.

Only 3pm - 3am UK time..

Ragga Jungle


"It's the tribal warrior dance that keeps me close to the genre people call jungle. Huge open breakbeats, massive bass, warriors on the dancefloor, leaping around each other and banging on the walls and floors like monkeys. It's very natural, very primitive; I almost don't really like calling it urban music. It seems to extend further than Babylon."

This site was recommended to me ages ago but I still haven't been on it. I think I'l be going on there to to listen to their net radio.

Check out Jesu


This post has a track by Jesu. Never heard these but their sound features "spacialshamanic distortion"!
Compared to Mogwai. Actually, they're actually Justin from Godflesh's band,actually(actually).

20jazzfunkgreats is a proper evaluational,educational,rhythmical,tuneful blogg. Lots of individual tracks....Butthole Surfers, Beck and loads of bands I need to educate myself about...

My Morning Jacket live....

My Morning Jacket live.

My Morning Jacket

Get this My Morning Jacket live recording at the archive. Especially good as you can get the individual tracks....

Try LiveBonnaroo while you're there ..

Sets are available in both MP3 and CD-quality lossless formats (FLAC), powered by nugs.net's state-of-the-art delivery system.

Mogwai live recording...

This link is from Tuning as well. Archive.org seems to be lots of live recordings (and other stuff).
This is what Mogwai said about their recording.....
On July 20, 2004 they gave their OK for archive.org:
" We talked about it and are ok with you doing so. The only thing is that if any of the shows end up being sold on e-bay or are turned into bootlegs albums we'll have to ask you to take them all down. We don't mind people swopping recordings but do mind other people profiting from our music. I'll keep the Philly request in mind.
best
Stuart".
Safe.

Another fine day at OpenDir

Loads of mixed Dirs today at OpenDir today...- the first one has Bloodhound Gang,
Placebo and Killswitch Engage...

You konw, I've never actually heard Killswitch Engage but my mate loves them and I've been fully intending to check them out for ages. You know, you can actually download some tunes from their site..apparently that's what most bands and stuff do these days...
