Electric Eel Shock - Metal Man
Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi Show - Theme
Shonen Knife - Tortoise Brand Pot Scrubbing Cleaner's Theme (Green Tortoise)
X Japan - Standing Sex. Just reading the lyrics for the first time. heh.

Dogshit (on my Bike Boots)
(Very good-looking music video, incidentally.)
sHeavy's entire discography.
The only song I've ever bothered to buy as a CD-single: Brainpool - Tomorrow.
(Anyone got any theories as to why playing singles are so much more fun to do on a gramophone?)

A long time ago, I bought Beasties "Hey Ladies" as a cassingle. It was dumb, I shoulda waited till I had the full 8.99 or whatever it was to buy the whole cassette.
Then again, right before the second Gorillaz cd came out, I bought the cd-single of "Feel Good Inc", or "Rock the House" from the first cd, I cant remember. But this time it was because the single had the video as a bonus track...and Im a complete sucker for the Gorillaz...though not much of the rest of Albarns stuff.
The only ones I actively sought out were the NIN and KMFDM eps and singles with the remix tracks.
EDIT. I also remember that Great Whites "Wasted Rock Ranger" was only available on a cassingle back in the day, but a friend of mine bought it and I had one of those dual-cassette dubbing machines at the time...
Brainpool - Probably
Some Days Are Made for Smoking
Brainpool - Bandstarter
Brainpool - Holidays
Brainpool - We Aim to Please
Brainpool - Sister C'mon
Brainpool - In a Box
Brainpool - Girl Lost (in which it's revealed where Zach Braff got his look in Scrubs from)
Brainpool - Every Day (spot the detail that reveals they're university lads)
Brainpool - My Sweet Lord (she's so fine) ...I hope no-one told George Harrison about this one...
And this one's for Comrade Anklebite.
Sounds like my kinda chick.
The only cassingle I ever bought was Ricky Martin's "Livin' La Vida Loca." I wanted to put it on a mix-tape.

Tonight it's The Stone Roses.
(Old) Funk for Friday!
The Blackbyrds - Time is Movin
James & Bobby Purify - Shake A Tail Feather
Gloria Edwards - My Love Keeps Getting Stronger
The Persuaders - I'm So Glad I Got You
Sandi Sheldon - You're Gonna Make Me Love You
Just Brothers - Sliced Tomatoes (may sound familiar to people who remember the late 90:s)
Also dug up Limey's old Purson post and my drunken anarcho-syndicalist hetero life partner was very taken with that neo-flute whatever it was and went on to spend a large portion of last night listening to bands I had never heard of with names such as Orchid, Sasquatch and Witch, who, I read, is J. from Dino, Jr.

My local comrades keep trying to get me into Gogol Bordello.
I have thus far resisted, but this video is pretty good.
See them live, that's where they're at their best.

Pete Shelley, Howard Devoto, Buzzcocks and Magazine in vintage punk doc ‘B’dum B’dum’ from 1978
Seems to cut out whenever either band is about to rock out, but still a great watch.
Some more stuff:
Snarky Puppy seem to be the jazz crossover stars of the moment (or were, about six months ago), so I decided to have a bit of a listen last weekend. Binky was the one I enjoyed most, since it sounds a bit like 'Fresh Garbage' by Spirit at the start and goes all cyber-funk at the end.
I like the first Mythos album very much too.
That's Snarky Puppy twice, alas.

Also, though I'm not *listening* to it right now, my second demo EP just dropped this morning. Both of them sound like shit. Very punk rock.
2. Just Fine EP

In other news,
I'm Generalissimo Longears and I approve this message.
To show my appreciation, here's the correct link to the Mythos album
I was listening to a compilation of stuff from Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour this afternoon, and my favourite track of the lot was My Walking Stick by Louis Armstrong and the Mills Brothers.
Fist City by Loretta Lynn was also great.
I've also been enjoying Charles Gayle, whose excellent set and interesting interview are both still available via Jazz on 3
Right now, now, I'm listening to David's EP, as referenced above. Neat, and reminds me a bit of Sugar/Bob Mould so far...
Mr Shiny...very punk rock. Good on ya for putting this out there, man. 'Doug Hopkins' and (of course) 'Drunks Lament' are the standouts to me. The mic picks up yr voice and guitar better on those two...and the lyrics of the lament hit pretty hard.

Just got back from the Valerie June show.
Twined and Twisted. She is amazing. Sweet to talk to and can she sing! ...and drop the f-bomb. heh. Shes moved to NYC for love. I hope it works out for her. Loved her slide guitar work and her smile!
Scandal - Hi-Hi-Hi
Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Again.
Not what I'm listening to, but music-related: A week or so ago Mrs Gersen and I met an old drinking comrade (and his SO and another couple that were her BFFs or whatever, but enough with the acronyms) and caught the Flogging Molly concert in Pittsburgh. He was excited about the possibility of a mosh pit, and, being a sexist mysoginist pig, I was curious about girls flashing.
Anyway, some chick did get up on this dude's shoulders, and I think her intention vis-a-vis displaying to the band was clear, but the security dudes instantly and vigilantly waded in and broke that up. Given the alacrity of their intervention, no mosh pit materialized; all we saw was some incredibly lame half-assed crowd surfing that wasn't even worth the name. The whole thing was almost nauseatingly family-friendly.
And I had to think, "What's the world coming to, when you go to see an Irish punk band and this is what you get?"

Well, when the band are in their 50s you can't expect that their audience will be teens and early 20s.
Y'know, if I was Irish, I think I'd get pretty weary of some of the stereotypes they're pegged with.
Sailing To Byzantium
I
That is no country for old men. The young
In one another's arms, birds in the trees
---Those dying generations---at their song,
The salmon-falls, the mackerel-crowded seas,
Fish, flesh, or fowl commend all summer long
Whatever is begotten, born, and dies.
Caught in that sensual music all neglect
Monuments of unaging intellect.
II
An aged man is but a paltry thing,
A tattered coat upon a stick, unless
Soul clap its hands and sing, and louder sing
For every tatter in its mortal dress,
Nor is there singing school but studying
Monuments of its own magnificence;
And therefore I have sailed the seas and come
To the holy city of Byzantium.
III
O sages standing in God's holy fire
As in the gold mosaic of a wall,
Come from the holy fire, perne in a gyre,
And be the singing-masters of my soul.
Consume my heart away; sick with desire
And fastened to a dying animal
It knows not what it is; and gather me
Into the artifice of eternity.
IV
Once out of nature I shall never take
My bodily form from any natural thing,
But such a form as Grecian goldsmiths make
Of hammered gold and gold enamelling
To keep a drowsy Emperor awake;
Or set upon a golden bough to sing
To lords and ladies of Byzantium
Of what is past, or passing, or to come.
-William Butler Yeats
He was Irish, as you can see from his fighty-drunky verse...
And I don't even like Flogging Molly...
