Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
While I can't argue against The Gift demos being a better listen. The best tracks on that PW first solo album are "Into Tomorrow" "Bitterness Rising" "Kosmos" all on side two.

Great record. Sort of mystical folk rock. Zep's more ethereal side with a more meditative quality, really digging it. I'm gonna go see Plant next weekend to getting caught up on his solo work (the last work of his I got was his exceptional record with Alison Krauss). I think seeing him live is going to be a treat.

An Estonian shoegaze/dream pop band that, perhaps not coincidentally, reminds me a lot of Pinkshinyultrablast.

The Clash - Black Market Clash (1980)
I picked up the Drastic Plastic reissue of this the other day and it sounds fucking great. The punch of this comp is great, a total joy of a listening experience. With some exclusive edits that aren't readily available on other Clash releases, this remains a unique listen. I think that if you gave someone the US S/T, GEER, LC and this you'd have a pretty damned good Clash collection on yer hands. What a band.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Niiice. I got the original 10" when it came out, got warped in the sun in the back of my brother Matt's '69 stock Roadrunner when the cops shined their torches in the window after we'd both crashed out after too much weed (neither of us was really living anywhere at the time, just parked somewhere after hanging out). Cop got my knife but not my dime bag (which was in the same pocket of my motorcycle jacket!); Matt got hauled in (then released) for lapsed insurance and his car impounded for a couple days. I was fucking furious with the cops after I found my BMC album warped from the sun! (later got the 12" vinyl, then CD, etc, etc.). I was 16 and he was 18 I reckon. Good times (?).Flex wrote: ↑21 Feb 2018, 10:44pmThe Clash - Black Market Clash (1980)

I had the 10" version of tbis as well. It was a fairly unique thing at the time. I loved the hell out of it. My brother gave it away to our cousin who was recovering from something in the hospital

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Yeah it was a pretty big deal when it came out, not many new singles or b-sides other than "Armagedeon Time" and the recently released "Bankrobber". It was almost like a Clash greatest "non" hits comp for a lot of folks who hadn't fully immersed themselves into 'London Calling' yet. Between that 10" BMC and US s/t, that's all a lot of peeps back then needed to claim this band for their own, and maybe the best ever.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
I remember buying the 10" import in about 1985 and it was very expensive for the time, maybe £12? Fucking loved it though, the Armagideon Time mixes are great.

My friend Chris gave me the 10” version in 1995 for literally no reason other than to be nice. He found it at a used record store for fairly cheap. He wasn’t even a Clash fan.

Tidy little comp in the beginning that takes a beautiful left turn halfway through. Shit, I had never heard Robber Dub before (beyond the bits from the Essential menu).
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Oh dear. I bought that on release and thought it was awful.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
The single was tepid, but the compilation was worthwhile.
