Land of Talk

Different song, but one of my favourites from a band I am very fond of. The band is on hiatus and singer was last seen working in a wholefood café. Sad.

Land of Talk: Summer Special

Resonars
[bandcamp width=100% height=120 album=998294570 size=large bgcol=ffffff linkcol=0687f5 tracklist=false artwork=small]

Can’t find this song online so this trackĀ is from a comp that has the most unlikely origins.

Here is a link to the comp so you can download it. The Bandcamp links aren’t working anymore.

Personally, the less the cats the better…

This is the whole story:
Burger guys found a kitten running under cars on the freeway during rush hour and they rescued her!!!
The next day they took the kitty to the vet and found out she had fallen or been thrown and she needed
surgery and pins in her pelvis and knee!!! It was super expensive so they asked all their friends to
contribute unreleased songs to benefit the little kitty gato and 50 bands came to the rescue!!! She
is the sweetest little kitten ever, there’s no way we could have let her die so they did THE KITTY COMP!!!
ALL PROCEEDS WENT TO RESCUING THE LITTLE KITTY FRIEND, ANY MONEY MADE AFTER THE $2,200 NEEDED TO FIX
THE KITTEN WENT TO THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS!!!
500 cassettes pressed and numbered, sold out after few weeks!!
AS THE COMPILATION IS SOLD OUT, WE DECIDED TO UPLOAD THE TRACK ON OUR BANDCAMP!!
YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT FOR FREE DONATION, AND THE MONEY WILL BE ADDED TO THE AMOUNT RAISED BY OUR BURGER BROTHERS !!

Finally, some of the above bands are on the Burger label. They have an extensive sampler, have a listen…

Nuggets 274 – PostModTwo

Nuggets 274 - Postmodern 2

I struggle to define what Postmodern music is. I associate the genre with longer tunes, mainly instrumental and more jazz like than, say, Prog or Psychedelic. In spite of my conceptual difficulties, here is a whole mix of tunes with a postmodern vibe.

A playable playlist follows, or try this link to Grooveshark…

Nuggets 274 – Postmodern 2 by Paul on Grooveshark

Public Service Broadcast – 3 clips here… Post modern in all the senses. This band played at the recent Womad festival in New Plymouth. They would have been magnificent playing on the pond stage. Their latest album recycles space travel themed audio. Watch them play and be interviewed on KEXP if you want to find out more (it’s the third clip)

PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTING - Everest

Chasing Rainbows from Epic, a 2012 collaboration between Ulrich Schnauss and Jonas Munk, two German producers of note.

Listen to the whole album below…

Ulrich Schnauss & Jonas Munk [Full album]

Remurdered from Mogwai’s 2014 album – Rave Tapes . I saw Mogwai recently. Very loud. Nothing else to add. Did I mention that they were very loud?

Mogwai - Remurdered at Glastonbury 2014

Eat the City Eat It Whole by …And so i Watch You From Afar, the last track from their self titled album of 2009.Ā  Instrumental rock with lots of sonic variety.

And So I Watch You From Afar - Eat The City, Eat It Whole

Anchoress by Polvo from their 2013 album, Siberia. I can’t find any clips of this tune, but here’s a clip to give you the vibe of this 1990’s band which recently started playing live again.

Polvo - Full Show - Live 1998
Last time this time last year by Maybeshewill from their 2009 album, Sing the Word Hope in Four-part Harmony
Maybeshewill - This time last year live @ O.C. Runkst

Isis Unveiled from the 2009 album The Century of Self by …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead

...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead - Isis Unveiled (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Save me from the Cyclops by Robert Savage from The Adventures of Robert Savage Vol.1. This is an obscure band from the 1970’s and no, there wasn’t a volume 2. I am probably tipping over into Prog, so what.

ROBERT SAVAGE - Save Us From The Cyclops

Darker My Love – Blue Day from the album 2 (2008)

Darker My Love - Blue day

Cousin – Tension at the Lido from And Other Relations EP (2011) from Brighton (UK, not Dunedin)

The Electronic Hole – Love Will Find A Way (part 3) from The Electronic Hole – The Electronic Hole (1970). Another obscure band.
Electronic Hole

Early Morning by The Collectors from Grass and Wild Strawberries (1969). Ditto

The Collectors


Envy
– All That’s Left Has Gone To Sleep from Abyssal (2008).Ā Japanese noise merchants. Move over Mono. Different song follows, but you get the idea.

Envy - A Warm Room (Live)

Scouter – Broken Scouter from Scouter (2011) (Boston, Massachusetts)

Hella – Netgear from Tripper (2011) (Sacramento, USA)

No video of this song, but check out the most excellent drumming

Hella - Trap Kit Whatever (Drums)

And this what they look like live.

HELLA - 8/08/03 @ 924 Gilman St, Berkeley, CA - FULL SET
