Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room What Music Are You Listening To ?

It was probably a bit of marketing connected to the release of his autobiography next week!

right..that makes sense .. sort of!

Japan - 'The Best Of' almost there best compilation to date, except for the single edit of 'quiet life' the album version was better, and a remix of 'life in tokyo' of which the original single was better.

Just dusted down some old cassettes The Fatima Mansions and American Music Club
A couple of days away from Electronica so I can appreciate it more when I come back to it

What a good thread this is! I remember them. Great stuff.
I have vague memories of seeing them live years ago.
Jericho Tavern, Oxford maybe?

Good shout :Cathal Coughlan (sp?) criminally underrated
Micro Disney was his first band wasn't it ?

Today it's The Wire Tapper 17 - the free CD that comes with Wire magazine. Has a Throbbing Gristle track on it - HOW DO YOU DEAL? (Edit) from the film Live At The Astoria, from the forthcoming DVD box set TGV.

However the stand out track is FAMILY FEUD by Von Südenfed which is actually The Fall's Mark E Smith and Mouse On Mars! What a collaboration! And it works! Imagine Mark E Smith singing ‘Friendly Fire’ and you get a rough idea of what it sounds like.
