Birth AD sound grand - remind me of classic UK thrashers Acid Reign a bit

Anyway I'd heard Hoover Dam by Sugar on the radio the other day and so was pretty confident going into Copper Blue that it'd be a beaut and indeed it is. So glad I own this record again bloody brilliant and the version I have has so many treats. I'll be delving back into Bob Mould's solo stuff and Husker Du off the back of this, more stuff I've lost touch with.
Here's a boring old war story for you. Many moons have passed over the great water since I saw Bob Mould play a solo show at the Sub Club in Glasgow. I think it must have been in between Workbook and Black Sheets of Rain as it was an acoustic set, with the exception of a blistering, unaccompanied electric guitar freakout for the encore. As well as a storming version of Too Far Down, this was the first time I ever heard Hoover Dam and it stuck in my head for years. Getting to the point, I suppose I've always found Copper Blue a bit too shiny and produced and I liked Beaster a lot more.

I'm sure I've probably mentioned this before but, if you haven't got it, Grant Hart's first solo album - Intolerance - is a an absolute corker.

That Liz Phair album is great too. You can tell a lot about someone by whether or not they burst out laughing the first time they hear Flower.

Great to see some fellow admirers of the mighty Husker Du on this forum. Z :thumbsup:

Brody Dalle (Distillers, Spinerette) has got a new record out. Starts off aimlessly charming * but kicks up the rhythm, and makes with the handclaps and ooh-ooh backing vocals around the 2m 50s mark for an exhilarating charge down the final straight. Annoyingly, I can listen to it on Youtube but can't buy it online yet - she's married to Josh Homme, so she probably won't miss my seventy pence:

Ha. Being a big fan of DLT's tangential connections, I once made someone a mixtape with the inspired sequencing of Bettie Serveert - Low - dEus. Then, a year or so ago, I was pleasantly surprised to find they'd been quietly putting out records at home for years.

Also worth noting that the video for Tomboy (thank you MTVs 120 minutes and Youtube for confirming I remembered it right) is surely the defining late 80s early 90s indie video. It brings together tropes that had and would define such low budget (and often so very poor if we're brutally honest) fare!

Nas - Nasty. Just bars, a solid flow and cadence and great delivery over a breakbeat. Evokes classic Juice Crew era BDK .

Senser - Witch Village. From their current LP 'To The Capsules', perfect fusion of Heavy Metal and Hip Hop.

I bought the Soundgarden Screaming Life/Fopp EP's on vinyl the other day.  Classic, classic shit.

Brilliant - I'm going to make the most obvious and lazy comparison possible, and say that's a bit like DJ Shadow. In a good way.

I'd agree it does elicit an 'Endtroducing' era DJ Shadow excitement for me too. Here is another instro for your listening pleasure. J Zone - The Drug Song (remix) -

Bloody hell, are they still going? I might have to get this, I loved their first album.

I saw them at Glastonbury in the early nineties and the main rapper guy basically called everyone in the audience a cunt. Great gig.

Previously known as L*e B*tes. Sshhh, going undercover...
