Spotify sends you down some bizarre rabbit holes, Listening to my Cramps stuff

to the delta bombers

and they send you to The Hillbilly Moon Explosion

This turned up on wifey's Facebook:

Got 20+ fairly quickly & 29 with some digging but stumped by the glasses on the table, any ideas?

Buck's Fizz?

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^ isn't that bubbly & OJ? Can't really think of any other drink-related band/ artist names, though, so you may be right.

Edit: just googled Red Bucks Fizz & whadya know, it's a thing & £4 a bottle at Tesco.

I can't see what's in the bowl

I assumed Cranberries.

Braveshart69 is very good at this. I wouldnt have got Bucks Fizz in a million years. First thought was old 90's indie shoegazers "All Natural Lemon and Lime Flavors". Useless!

I went Cranberries as well but had Raspberries as my Plan B.

I watched some YMO live footage not long ago and it was great. RIP Ryuichi.

All true.

Although when you call homebake and mushrooms "homebake mushrooms" it sounds surprisingly appetising.

Then 20 mins later reality sets in and it's holy shit what the hell was that



ps more mancave action. Yes, that's Byron with his head cut off. Happened the day I got him. Instant decapitation. No questions asked.　OFF.

I may have just left Auckland with a CD copy of this…

The nice young lady at Flying Nun seemed impressed.

due to the Pitcairns peso vs $US dollar I've gone absolutely berko shopping on the Disk Union website the last 2 years... as well as a humungous wholesale order from Relapse.....

2024:

Windhand/Cough - Reflection Of The Negative CD $4 slow, bleak and munty, just like I was hoping
Wrong s/t LP $6
Wrong - Feel Great LP $3. wow this sounds EXACTLY like Helmet
Cave In - Heavy Pendulum: The Singles - Live At BBC's Maida Vale Studios cass $6
Cave In - Heavy Pendulum 2xLP $20. not a fan of the vocals but the riffage is Munt City
Nothing - The Great Dismal B-Sides 12" $11
Nothing - The Great Dismal LP $13 cd upgrade
Monolord - Your Time To Shine $13
Monolord - I'm Staying Home 12" $8. bugger me the poster

Mono - Hymn To The Immortal Wind 2xLP $12. 17 cello players and a bit wary of the anime soundtrack vibe but it seems to work
Mono - Before The Past • Live From Electrical Audio LP $12.. muntier
Mono - Requiem For Hell 2xLP $12.. gruntier. always thought this band did the fairly dull loud/quiet thing but not so much here
The Band - The Band Story LP. 400 yen
Phil Collins - 12"-ers. 50 yen ffs. Spotless copy and what a sound.
Belle & Sebastian - Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like A Peasant CD. 300 yen. very peaceful and Bacharachy and not as twee as some of their other shit

Van Morrison - His Band And The Street Choir LP 1500 yen, cheap price for this. wasnt rotting it at first but turned out to be a real grower
Patti La Belle And Michael McDonald - On My Own 7" $1. horrific guilty pleasure.
Michael Chapman - 50 LP. $3. some dudes 50th lp ffs. Really good stuff though
Mums - Legs LP $12. this is IT!
The Go-Betweens - 1978-1990 $10. CD sounds like absolute shit. the worst of "glassy" CD sounds

DOMKRAFT / DAY OF DOOM LIVE LP $13. seems a bit boring but thats just cos I'm not playing it LOUD enough
SWERVEDRIVER - RAISE LP $17. bought the OG vinyl for 99c back in the day then dumbly sold it (for a fortune). my recently acquired cd copy was unlistenable glassy skree so splurged. 2018 MOV reissue so some alarm bells but the reviews were good and its fine. The cover art is a joke though. Direct from cd, pixellated bullshit
YO LA TENGO - ELECTR-O-PURA LP $23. cd upgrade ffs I deserve it
MINISTRY - FALL RELOAD 12" $5. my fave period of this band. sludgey
BARKMARKET - I DROWN 7" $8. been after something by this band for YEARS ffs
Dinosaur Jr. - I Bet On Sky CD $3

Midnight Oil - Power And The Passion 7" bought for booming b-side remix
Gary Numan - We Are Glass 7" 500 yen
Kate Bush - Cloudbusting 7" 500 yen. reacquisition, MORAN
Chrome - Read Only Memory 12". 2000 yen. finally snared this bad boy. OG 79 pressing that jumps off the turntable. the whole thing sounds like it is playing backwards yet its still completely relaxing. Sounds like a car trying to start but it's stuck in reverse.

Marc Bolan - The Words And Music Of Marc Bolan 1947 - 1977 2xLP 500 yen.
Lou Reed - New Sensations LP. 500 yen. was rooting this as a kid (didnt even know about VU) still has a nice drum smack groove

The Beta Band - Broke / Won 12" 500 yen
Jack Oblivian - Saturday Night Part 2 10". 500 yen. really good. total Oblivians to open then a bit more eclectic
Crazy Horse - Loose LP. 1,000 yen. their 2nd lp, didnt even know about this one.

Cave In - there's a name I haven't heard in a long time. I saw them supporting the Foo Fighters years ago.
