What Album Are You Listening To Right Now?

Yep, that’s it, all the stuff anyone could name. All the stuff I’ve probably already got across multiple CD’s and records. All the stuff that BBC think is ok to stick on a BBC4 retro music show.

The inoffensive gateway to dub.

6p a tune.

Brilliant.

Erm what is it called and what label. There’s a decent amount of stuff I don’t have on there to justify it’s purchase

‘Ultimate collection’ is the label its now on, but essential from the Trojan bins.

£4.99 at Sister Ray up that London. Bit gutted I paid £5.99 now.

Ha!

Well you can get the **** stars of TV’s Silent **** Witness ‘round my gaff but you still won’t find any Bob Dylan.

Your loss.

I intended a tone of humour that may not have translated to the page as well as I’d imagined when excitedly typing it out!

Haha, no problem. I totally get people not getting Dylan. And funnily enough, I don't even play his stuff particularly often - it's just that I have more of it than anything else. And that's largely because I've gone too far down the completist collector rabbit hole to stop now. 

But it's true that the Harder They Come OST is genuinely all the reggae I really need.

Your loss :D

Yeah, kinda true, I expect. But life is short. I try stuff out, and it's either like it, don't like it, or meh. 

So (say) hip hop is something I genuinely cannot see any redeeming features in. It beats me what anybody sees in it. 

But reggae is like (say) metal, or trad folk, or post-rock, in that I can easily see why people like it. It's just that (with a few exceptions) I don't, particularly. I'm not missing out by not listening to it, any more than you are by not listening to The Beatles. And Dylan isn't really @chrisp65's loss, either, I was just answering facetiousness like for like. :)

I've been waiting for this to be released on vinyl for a while. I like Ty Segall but must admit I probably have enough of his usual fayre but this is the soundtrack to the film Whirlybrid, which I keep forgetting to watch.

I heard some of it when it was released digitally when the film came out, it had this great track with big drums on it, I knew I wanted this album as soon as I heard that track

It's also not got any of the trademark Ty guitar lines, it's not a rock record but it is full of great atmospheric pieces interspersed with the odd bit of dialogue from the film

EDIT: The track with the great drums is on side 2 - Story of the Century

Wire's second album, Chairs Missing from 1978. A big change from debut effort Pink Flag. This is the post, that was the punk.

Everyone says how massively important and influential Pink Flag was but this to my mind is just as important an album. A true post-punk trailblaizer

I used to have an original of this which is long gone but I was in the dreaded HMV today and this was a penny less than £18 so home it came.

I didn't even know that existed, interested

 

I picked it up for that one track, just so I have my own copy. But I did listen all the way through and I’ve stuck it on again today, so it’s got something about it, even though its obviously a bit basic synth.

It’s on Finders Keepers so has the inevitable two sides of rambling liner notes from Andy Votel.

Not out until August on vinyl and with 6 tracks less. I might buy the vinyl when it's out but the CD is out now

The next in the now legendary On-U Sound Compilation series... Pay It All Back Volume 8

New Lee Perry tracks from the Rainford sessions that were held back for this before L$P passed away. New African head Charge, New Creation Rebel (Only 40 odd years!). Never before released Andy Fairley tracks and F*** Me two new Tackhead tracks (must be at least 20 years). New Mark Stewart

There's an awful lot of recently deceased people on here aside from L$P. George Oban and Wayne Nunes, two bass players, Oban in particular is all over this album and some Andy Fairly tracks from the vaults (Failey has been deceased a considerable time now)
