god how much I love this movie
Stranglers Rattus Norvegicus
Voto:
rightly considered a minor group... they played "well," but nobody softened the sound of the Doors like they did... dreadful synthesizers, charisma-less vocals... there’s Hanging Around to save the day...
Fetchin Bones Cabin Flounder
Voto:
YOU KNOW YOU KNOW YOU KNOW TOO MUCH...damn, I had missed this back in the day...I read with pleasure and share everything...the Bones could count on a couple of things: Hope Nichols (a provincial Patti Smith, a down-to-earth girl not really into intellectualism) and a genuineness that shines through everything they played, even in the face of mediocre or derivative material...they're one of those bands that make you love the 80s, so convinced were they of what they were playing...the album is full of fillers, but three songs alone make it unmissable: the dizzying God's Hanky, So Brilliant (on par with the best Poetessa), and especially the incredibly melancholic ballad Too Much...
Orange Juice Rip it Up

I'm not enthusiastic about them; I find them cloying, although I must say they've chosen a tasty name...
Josef K Young And Stupid
Voto:
they remind a lot of Velvet Underground...
A Certain Ratio To Each
Voto:
they were fellow citizens (Manchester) and recorded for the same label (Factory) as Joy Division, and you can hear it...dark sound, hypnotic rhythms, dissonant harmonic fabric, and a voice that reminds of Curtis...for the rest, it's completely different music: it makes me think of certain dance from our times...

but in fact Albini is not a misanthrope… it’s his songs that deal with the theme of misanthropy… or, ugly panda, you are a beast, and as such (not being human) you cannot benefit from Steve's hate… :-)
Mekons The Quality of Mercy Is Not Strnen
Voto:
Honestly, I had never thought of a comparison between this album and those of the CVB... rather, the albums from the mid-80s, both by the Mekons and the side project Three Johns, had a more pronounced folk structure... this Quality Of Mercy remains fundamentally a wave album, and the band I relate it to most easily is Gang Of Four (the two bands knew each other and hung out, by the way)... I don’t mean to blaspheme, but I like the Mekons more than Gang Of Four, because I find them much less rigid and monotonous... what do you think? P.S. Ramona, I haven’t done a track-by-track in quite some time (I skip some songs, and the others are almost never in order)... anyway, yes, they were a bunch of losers (in the affectionate sense of the term)...

It's one of the few Albini albums that doesn't convince me, but I have to say I haven't listened to it in a while... but how the hell does a misanthrope have 779 friends????!!!! :-D
