Or am I a victim of my own ghetto?....the only music i really enjoy 100% is Pub Rock and original wave Punk...is that anything to be ashamed of?<br />In my opinion, Dr Feelgood, Eddie and the Hot Rods,Slaughter and the Dogs, Johnny Moped wipe the floor with Henry Cow for unadulterated natural weirdness<br /> Jonny Zchivagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09859740264284241032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-31080589876264736842022-07-26T21:06:52.231+02:002022-07-26T21:06:52.231+02:00Hi!

I'm pretty sure a lot of these artists probably are now having a "normal" 9 to 5 job (or worse), so keep up the good work and keep their memories alive! Fortunately Fred Frith and some of the others or still making some noise but even for them your website is a great way to get some extra exposure. The boxset (even in glamorous lo-fi) would be a great listen for many of us. When you running out of storage space because of Henry Cow...well, there are worse ways I guess...Cheers!

And think the BBC Radiophonic workshop was a pile of shite, and don't watch cult TV????<br />John Williams finest work is Lost In space (the 60's version of course)...oh ok...the Jaws theme takes some beating<br /><br />Yeah its true, I was always alone trawling through these weird emporiums of mystery....i was lucky to have a couple of prog record stores in my town...when i went into the ultima thule store by the rail station. I had one or two non like minded friends by then in then 90's....i remember a mate asking what this tune was they were playing...they loved these moments there...a lop sided smirk would appear before the answer to their query was slipped out...."Hamburger Lady" steve the shop owner said "....by Throbbing...(pause).... Gristle,have you heard of them?<br />erm...yeah...but i haven't got that one yet! It was a bit like the shop in Hi-Fidelity again...but a prog music hi-fidelity....may be a book in this?<br />The bargain bucket was great there.....lots of polish Folk,and iron curtain Pop.....nearly all free if you bought something else..so my friend came out with TG's DOA and a bunch of listenable rural Romanian Dance music....which he reckoned was good???Jonny Zchivagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09859740264284241032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-88527349816225643232022-07-21T18:02:02.238+02:002022-07-21T18:02:02.238+02:00Why are record store memories always so fascinatin...Why are record store memories always so fascinating? I suppose it's the idea of stumbling upon some truly crazy shit (etron fou), with lasting impact, all on one's own. When the final Henry Cow came out, I would've still been watching those Lost In Space reruns--and probably was still terrified by the opening notes to the theme song. In a few years I would stumble upon Western Culture, and while it wasn't viscerally terrifying, it was still something. And this was the latter part of the 80s, when all such things were criminally un-hip, so... even better. But to be able to hear something like UZ's "La Faulx" (from Heresie) as a five or six year old? BBC Radiophonic Workshop excelled at the rapid transient, sound bit shivers, while all these sorts somehow sustained those feelings over prolonged stretches.parmaleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14166917258724450155noreply@blogger.com
