visually i seem to stay in the hippie-era. but this is nearly brand-new (well, 2005) and sounds totally different. well, not totally. i often refer to the BLACK LIPS as the "hippies from hell". the cover resembles, hm, maybe an early ROLLING STONES cover. the shooting for this picture is covered in the tour movie by ERNIE QUINTERO (which is a "must-see", by the way!). a great record by a great band. maybe the last really wild band on planet earth. go to their shows! buy their records!BLACK LIPS - Let It Bloom, In The Red 2005
what a cool band picture! i really dig the shadows and the colours. when i asked my father what his favourite band was, he said: "ccr" and that´s when i started listening to them. must have been around the same time when i discovered ELO. still one of my favourite bands from that era. and this is their best record. i always think that i´m born too late, when i see this record (or listen to it).
CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL - Green River, Fantasy 1969
what a mysterious cover, what a strange record! this one was my favourite record during the last few months. very "sloppy" played, ....er, ....hm, ....er, garage-rock, i guess. great voices and really good songs. came out on P.Trash Records from Bielefeld in some very limited editions (different colours, inside-out and whatnot). i didn´t know what to expect, when PETER TRASH recommended this one to me. when i finally got my hands on it, i didn´t know either (it´s easier if you have a cover like the REATARDS´ "Not Fucked Enough"). but the first time on the turntable.....
i found their first 7 inch in paris (Born Bad Records, rue keller 17, metro: bastille... why do i still know this?), which is also cool, but its cover is... well, just not like this one...
buy this one!
HUE BLANC´S JOYLESS ONES - Fait Accompli., P.Trash Records 2006
i know, i know. that´s a classic. pretty strange when listening to the record, because the cover suggests something different. anyways, a great record and the cover is just made for t-shirts.
well, 10 inch of pure beauty. if you think dead people can look beautiful. when my flatmate saw this one, he just went "whoaah". just like i did. no typo on the outside (neither on the inside nor on the record itself), except the small t&g-logo on the back and a very small "SLINT" on the side. awesome record, awesome design.
i heard they´re on tour in europe again.
SLINT - untitled, Touch And Go, 1994
the first time i saw this picture it was on a flyer for a REATARDS show (w/ ANGRY ANGLES and the awesome TOKYO ELECTRON) at my favourite local club. i just had to see them, because this picture expresses all you need to know about fast, violent and primitive music. the show was exactly like this. JAY REATARD was all over the place and was done after 20 minutes. i wish i had done this pic. it´s sooo good. a guy named MARK MURMAN made it. i´m jealous. HAIL MARK MURMAN!
