This record is just everything I hoped it would be. A hotch potch of everything DBT are great at, it is the correct length, no filler, no flab, no song outstays it's welcome, lyrics that hit home without being overly preachy. And the band is tighter than a gnats chuff!

Classic

Kendrick is a genius. Even his cast offs from the To Pimp A Butterfly album (eg the recent 8track LP called Untitled /Unmastered) are better than many rap albums this year.

For the last 2 months I've listened to pretty much nothing that could be tagged guitar music. Almost 90% exclusively Detroit techno from the 90's and 00's, or old skool hip hop. The exceptions being the albums released this year by Bowie, Iggy, Richmond Fontaine and Underworld. The first two Suicide...

You were curious for my opinion on something yet start by saying "I couldn't care less............". That really got me ready to engage with you BB ;) If you know anything about my musical tastes from any of my previous posts you wouldn't be surprised that I would have no time for either of those tw...

"As much as I hate to say it, when Clapton passes, those that have knocked him (mainly for his solo career) will have a change of heart about his contributions to music, much the same way folks did in regards to the Eagles when Glenn Frey passed." You want to bet me large amounts of money I never c...

One man's personal impression: Post punk as anything close to a sound or genre was almost entirely a UK thing. Perhaps more controversially, slapping new genre labels on the latest evolution of popular music is more of a UK thing and identifying those evolutions with related [sub] cultural changes ...

I always thought post-punk was more a reference to the era more than an actual sound or genre, but then again I've also read bands like LCD Soundsystem, the Strokes, Artic Monkeys etc be referred to as post punk. Is it because of a similar aesthetic to bands from that era, or what? What differentia...

james brown, post punk king.

or ska?

James Brown, definitely a massive influence I would say. Perhaps Sly Stone, Parliament/Funkadelic as well

I allways took it as the young bands that started in the wake of the UK punk scene. Kids seeing Sex Pistols, Buzzcocks and the Clash and realising all you needed was three chords and a basement. Not so much a musical style as a period in time. Not as distinct a musical style as punk, but still had ...

I just realized I am totally clueless to the real meaning of post-punk. Thus is the trouble with trying to categorize music. Everyone's going to assign their own meaning to it and none of them are entirely wrong. I remember when "Emo" had a different meaning than it does now. Or at least the artist...

well, like 'punk rock' there's no defined meaning... but there are common threads in different opinions of what it means, both musically and even sartorially. to me, The Fall pretty much define what a post-punk band is. early Echo/Bunnymen too. The Smiths are certainly not post-punk. _Slates_ is a ...

Subjective I know, but good genre for a list. Post punk was my favourite era and contains some of the greatest albums ever released imo. https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2016/07/the-50-best-post-punk-albums.html Post punk can mean lots of things I suppose, but strictly speaking (and especially...

... Detroit Techno.

Sparklehorse. I go on binges regularly where it's all I listen to; in fact I'm on one currently. I think Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot is a largely forgotten classic and Its a Wonderful Life is a masterpiece. Dreamt and GMS are solid as well. Mark was such a talented and troubled soul; I put h...

New Wilco stuff coming down the pipe soon http://pitchfork.com/news/66908-wilco-announce-new-album-schmilco-share-new-track-listen/ A couple of tracks made available today - sound like they could have been on either of the last couple of LP's so no surprises, still god solid stuff from first listen.

Bugger! Only half through the year really, has this been the most momentous year yet for crappy deaths? Sill a good few months to go as well :( I was at Glasgow Apollo in 1977 when Suicide supported The Clash. I think I had heard of them, but hadn't heard any of their records. Predictably they were ...

Supreme talent.

Doesnt look a very "United" Kingdom to me.

Apparently I live in an insane asylum As do I. What a clusterfuck :twisted: :twisted: I can hopefully see a bigger picture here after this ludicrous outcome. The UK is broken, and will disolve. Scotland will vote yes in a referendum to leave the UK , hopefully within 2 or 3yrs. Sinn Fein will lobby...

Nobody beats The Go Betweens for double L's Every album title had two L's from their debut in 1981, until they split in 1989. Send me a Lullaby, Before Hollywood, Spring Hill Fair, Liberty Belle and The Black Diamond Express, Talullah and 16 Lovers Lane. For those that don't know The Go-Betweens, on...
