Half a Dozen Streets and a Bit of Waste Land: Great Albums: 48 - Secrets of the Beehive (David Sylvian, 1987)
http://iriswildthyme.blogspot.com/2012/08/great-albums-48-secrets-of-beehive.html
Wednesday, August 22, 2012. Great Albums: 48 - Secrets of the Beehive (David Sylvian, 1987). Stripped down to their bare essentials, with Sylvian's soft as Andrex voice whispering huskily in the middle of everything and Ryuichi Sakamoto's string arrangements draped over anything left over, these songs are as near to perfect a collection as any songwriter has ever managed. Sylvian singing 'September' live, 1995. Posted by Stuart Douglas at 3:16 pm. Links to this post:. Subscribe to Half a Dozen Streets.

Half a Dozen Streets and a Bit of Waste Land: Great Albums: 46 - The Marble Downs (Trembling Bells and Bonny 'Prince' Billy, 2012)
http://iriswildthyme.blogspot.com/2012/08/great-albums-46-marble-downs-trembling.html
Monday, August 27, 2012. Great Albums: 46 - The Marble Downs (Trembling Bells and Bonny 'Prince' Billy, 2012). A friend of mine is fond of saying that you can compile a sensible Worst Ten Hollywood films list without once stepping outside the back catalogue of Mr Arnold Schwarzenegger, and while I'm not so sure of that (any Top 10 with no Braveheart. I made a date with an open vein/And with scarlet matter emblazened your name". Spotify Link to Album. I Made a Date video. Links to this post:. Try, fail, t...

Half a Dozen Streets and a Bit of Waste Land: Great Albums: 47 - Extricate (The Fall, 1990)
http://iriswildthyme.blogspot.com/2012/08/great-albums-47-extricate-fall-1990.html
Thursday, August 23, 2012. Great Albums: 47 - Extricate (The Fall, 1990). The first single off the album 'Telephone Thing' was a bit of a concern. I saw Smith do it with dance floor types, Coldcut. And - with the exception of the reference to elderly Easteneders' actress Gretchen Franklin. Can't say I thought much of it. Shades of bandwagon hopping (as Madchester dominated the music scene) are not accusations usually aimed at the Fall, but they could have been at that point. Bill is Dead" on SnubTV.

http://iriswildthyme.blogspot.com/2012/02/another-day.html
Monday, February 27, 2012. Just ended up randomly browsing to last.fm for the first time in a couple of years. And, due to the magic of little Java applets, I know know that these are my most commonly listened to tracks in the past twelve months:. Song to the Siren. Antony and the Johnsons. Knockin' on Heaven's Door. Chopin - Nocturne In B-Flat Minor, Op. 9, No. 1 - Larghetto. Jackson C. Frank. Blues Run The Game. Gymnopedie No. 1. Consolation No. 3 In D Flat Major. I loved you a long time ago, you know.

Half a Dozen Streets and a Bit of Waste Land: Great Albums: 45 - Delay: 1968 (Can, 1981)
http://iriswildthyme.blogspot.com/2012/08/great-albums-45-delay-1968-can-1981.html
Wednesday, August 29, 2012. Great Albums: 45 - Delay: 1968 (Can, 1981). OK, so it's a complilation album, really, and of outtakes at that. But those lovely fellas at WasistDas asked me to have a think about this album for a project of theirs and, you know what - it's my favourite Can LP. Yeah, it's Malcolm Mooney. Not Damo Suzuki, and the dynamic is totally different. Originally intended to be their first album (aparently to be named ' Prepared to Meet Thy PNOOM'. Plus the reunion Rite Time,. This LP and...

Half a Dozen Streets and a Bit of Waste Land: Great Albums: 44 - Ready for the House (Jandek, 1978)
http://iriswildthyme.blogspot.com/2012/08/great-albums-44-ready-for-house-jandek.html
Thursday, August 30, 2012. Great Albums: 44 - Ready for the House (Jandek, 1978). A certain person will be along in a moment to claim that I'm being wilfully obscure, but nowadays Jandek is a cult classic, not a scary wierdo. That's right, isn't it? On first listening Ready for the House. Is it even meant to be? Take the opening track 'Naked in the Afternoon'. Stick it on in the car as you drive through the pouring rain one dark winter evening. Put it on repeat. And I bet you that you'll be s...Or some J...

WAC – The Big Day | Middle Savagery
https://middlesavagery.wordpress.com/2008/06/29/wac-the-big-day
The sky above the Neolithic was the color of television tuned to a dead channel. Archaeological Photography, the Uncanny Valley, and Lomography →. WAC – The Big Day. June 29, 2008. It’s finally arrived, the day of my session. From way back when. I had to butcher my paper down to almost nothing in the interest of time, as we’re overbooked, but it should be okay. I’ll be busy enough trying to keep things running smoothly. I also have another presentation on the same day in a different session. One response...

Half a Dozen Streets and a Bit of Waste Land: Great Albums: 42 - Roxy Music (Roxy Music, 1972)
http://iriswildthyme.blogspot.com/2012/09/great-albums-42-roxy-music-roxy-music.html
Monday, September 03, 2012. Great Albums: 42 - Roxy Music (Roxy Music, 1972). If I were giving proper credit, I'd have to give this album a more thorough analysis than a couple of paragraphs here. In fact, there are single songs on this debut LP which deserve whole posts to themselves. Is there a better opening quarter in music than 'Remake/Remodel', 'Ladytron', 'If There is Something' and '2HB' (well, yes, there are - but not many)? Roxy Music on Spotify. If there is Something on Youtube. The late Alan ...
