What CD Are You Listening to ?

[mongoose]

visited an old underground classic yesterday

Refused - The Shape of Punk to come

 

[Ride the Lion to Zion]

Had an exploratory spell recently, listening to stuff with potential reappraisal in mind. Dug out Prehistoric Sounds by The Saints. Still can't get on with this album at all. On the upside, the CD reissue tacks on a handful of blistering live tracks recorded in April 1977 at Paddington Town Hall. Radio Birdman on the same bill, according to the sleeve notes.

Some titles delivered more joy. Sleater-Kinney "The Woods", Spoon "Transference", The Cult "Dreamtime", Type O Negative "Dead Again". All of which are far better than I realized first time round.

I saw the Saints (and their off-shoots Laughing Clowns) quite a few times in Sydney but can't remember if I saw them at Paddo Town Hall. I remember going to see a few bands there with the crowd of skinheads going a bit beserk. At one stage they ripped a big Union Jack flag off the wall and proceeded to rip it up and make themselves bandannas, pretty funny. Unfortunately I can't remember who was playing, just the flag thing. Drugs and alcohol not good for the short term memory.
Saw a few bands across the road at Paddo RSL too, The Celibate Rifles, TISM, The Reels etc, not a bad venue.
Radio Birdman deserved a lot more recognition than they got in Aus, so much talent in their line-ups.
Ed Kuepper is doing the rounds at the moment, might be worth a look in.
