my ears! my ears!: Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters

http://earabuse.blogspot.com/2009/03/herbie-hancock-head-hunters.html

Tuesday, 24 March 2009. Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters. Columbia/Legacy CD6512. 1973 (1997). That shit is the funk, right there. Though the jazz-improv-freakout gets a bit much towards the end of track 3, Sly, there isn't much to complain about here. Just look at the cover! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). What's it all about? Oh shit. The horror! In case you were wondering, I'm working from home a lot, so have the time to listen to stuff. This isn't a full time occupation. Sex For Ollie / Random Felch.

Tuesday, 24 March 2009. David Holmes introducting the Free Association - Come Get It I Got It. 13Amp AMP001CD. 2002. There's a reason most of the tracks on here are 'obscure'. They're 90% shite. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). What's it all about? I've got shelves full of CDs and vinyl, but only ever seem to plug in my iPod and play random mp3s. Well, no more. I'm going through every item on the shelves, in order, in their entirety. No cheating. What am I doing? Oh shit. The horror! PJ Harvey - Dry.

my ears! my ears!: David Holmes - This Films Crap Lets Slash The Seats

http://earabuse.blogspot.com/2009/03/david-holmes-this-films-crap-lets-slash.html

Tuesday, 24 March 2009. David Holmes - This Films Crap Lets Slash The Seats. Discs 828 631-2. 1995. To insistant to be background music, too dull to be listened to in its own right. Let's keep the film soundtracks for the films, eh? The Atom And You". Threatens to be an early The Orb. Track for 3 minutes, then fails. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). What's it all about? Oh shit. The horror! NEW FEATURE - download my old crimes against the senses. Sex For Ollie / Random Felch. Comedy or nostalgia value.

my ears! my ears!: Hellhammer - Apocalyptic Raids 1990 A.D.

http://earabuse.blogspot.com/2009/03/hellhammer-apocalyptic-raids-1990-ad.html

Thursday, 26 March 2009. Hellhammer - Apocalyptic Raids 1990 A.D. Noise International WK45499. 1990. Back in my tape trading days (yes kids, it wasn't all mp3 and download ratios back then - padded envelopes, postage stamps and a shit load of flyers falling out of packages). This was one of the most requested recordings. Well, the original '84 demo anyway. Fast forward a few years and we have a nice, clean copy, and some of the magic dies along with the stench of Beelzebub's turd and iron-oxide mixture.

my ears! my ears!: PJ Harvey - Rid Of Me

Thursday, 26 March 2009. PJ Harvey - Rid Of Me. Island CID8002/514 696-2. 1993. Even better than the last. PJH and Albini are a studio match made in heaven. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

my ears! my ears!: PJ Harvey - Dry

http://earabuse.blogspot.com/2009/03/pj-harvey-dry.html

Thursday, 26 March 2009. PJ Harvey - Dry. Too Pure CD010. 1992. I wish I was feeling a tad more verbose today, as this is outstandingly super. However, I'm not, so may come back to talk about it later. I'll just say, she has one of the few female voices I really like. (She may also have other voices, but I don't know.). Just buy it. It's a classic. Never did fancy her though. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). What's it all about? Oh shit. The horror! Sex For Ollie / Random Felch. The jury is still out.

my ears! my ears!: PJ Harvey - 4-Track Demos

http://earabuse.blogspot.com/2009/03/pj-harvey-4-track-demos.html

Thursday, 26 March 2009. PJ Harvey - 4-Track Demos. Island IMCD 170/518 450-2. 1993. It's like a whole different album to Rid Of Me, though it's mostly the same songs. These raw takes show what a true talent she is. I'm starting to kind of fancy her after all. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). What's it all about? Oh shit. The horror!

my ears! my ears!: Laurel and Hardy - Trail of the Lonesome Pine

http://earabuse.blogspot.com/2009/03/laurel-and-hardy-trail-of-lonesome-pine.html

Tuesday, 24 March 2009. Laurel and Hardy - Trail of the Lonesome Pine. Hallmark 701272. 2002. Plenty of oldey-timey music on here, most of which is very canny, but it's the classics that stand out. I could listen to Dance of the Cuckoos, Trail of the Lonesome Pine,. But the highlight is the eternally sublime At The Ball, That's All. Understated brilliance, even without the visual delight of watching the pair dancing to it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). What's it all about? Oh shit. The horror!

my ears! my ears!: Peter Hammill - Fool's Mate

http://earabuse.blogspot.com/2009/03/peter-hammill-fools-mate.html

Thursday, 26 March 2009. Peter Hammill - Fool's Mate. Charisma CASCD1037. 1971. Another NF introduction - cheers buddy. He sounds a bit posh, but has a pleasant voice none the less. I heard this long before I'd heard any VdGG, so had no idea who he was. It was the crazy drums at the start of Imperial Zeppelin. That grabbed me from the off. Unfortunately, a lot of the rest of the album shifts into much more straight-forward singer-songwriter territory after the, frankly, crackers start. Thought I'd try th...
