Great tunes, great lyrics. My only criticism is the sometimes bland, polished production means I don't reach for them very often (give me some feedback-y electric guitar to be in the center of my wheelhouse), but when I'm in the mood they scratch the itch that I'm after. But they weren't at all about trying to be cool or discordant.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑26 Aug 2020, 7:34pm
Inspired by the Women's Album poll, I've been dipping into TBS albums. I think this is my favourite of theirs.

Rebirth by Jimmy Cliff. Great in concept, great in execution, really let down by a mix that has all the low-end of a Pete Seeger record. This bass needed to blast the room down.

Listened to this all day yesterday, Scott Walker/Walker Bros are a very close number 2 to the Clash for me.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
I've been playing this all day. A few years since I gave it a spin. The absolute realest shit:
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

Interesting fact: John Walker was an early guitar teacher / influence for both Carl Wilson and David Marks of The Beach Boys, who would be an early influence on Joe.KCportland wrote: ↑02 Sep 2020, 10:18amListened to this all day yesterday, Scott Walker/Walker Bros are a very close number 2 to the Clash for me.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Yep! I actually like John's solo stuff alot too. It doesn't reach the heights of Scott's, but hardly anything does.WestwayKid wrote: ↑02 Sep 2020, 5:30pmInteresting fact: John Walker was an early guitar teacher / influence for both Carl Wilson and David Marks of The Beach Boys, who would be an early influence on Joe.KCportland wrote: ↑02 Sep 2020, 10:18amListened to this all day yesterday, Scott Walker/Walker Bros are a very close number 2 to the Clash for me.

Still insanely good after all these years.

One of the very few albums lacking bass that I like.
