""Money doesn't come into it. It never has. I do what I do because it's all that I am." - Morrissey

"Lacan stressed more and more in his work the power and organizing principle of the symbolic, understood as the networks, social, cultural, and linguistic, into which a child is born. These precede the birth of a child, which is why Lacan can say that language is there from before the actual moment of birth. It is there in the social structures which are at play in the family and, of course, in the ideals, goals, and histories of the parents. This world of language can hardly be grasped by the newborn and yet it will act on the whole of the child's existence."

:yabbse-thumbup:

featuring some of my favorite romantic lyrics, such as "we all need someone to cream on"...
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

Can - Cannibalism I (a sort of "greatest hits," ha ha)

Shanghai-O, I was first inspired to check out what they call "Krautrock" by those two English musical oddballs, Mark E. Smith and Julian Cope. The Fall's "I Am Damo Suzuki" was the first time I'd ever heard of Can, and Julian Cope wrote a book about Can, Neu!, etc. etc. Was this your path, also?

F.Y.I.- KrautRock, Neu, or Can fans, check out "Spiders" from the new Wilco album. I think you may find yourself at home. Especially Neu, or possibly Kraftwerk fans.

The album is streaming here. . .

I actually first heard of Can as one of Sonic Youth's favorite bands. From what I read, they hey sounded interesting: VU, Zappa, and Pink Floyd-inspired. I started out with Monster Movie, but the real best stuff was the Damo Sazuki period. Tago Mago is probably one of my favorite albums ever.

I just got Neu! recently, and it's pretty good, but I like Can better. I've also ordered the first two albums from Faust, which sound like their really fucked up.

I haven't heard any of the Fall though. I've been meaning to start listening to them, but they have so many albums. Where do you think I should start?

My God, Can were incredible.  Fucking Future Days.  Gorgeous, minimal, and totally original and entracing.  I love a good 4 or 5 of their records.

Suede- Singles.

Ten years, twenty singles. All varying degrees of brilliance. In my top five favorite bands ever.

Over the course of 2003, I found Coming Up, then (finally!) the first album used.  Early in 2004, I also ran across Dog Man Star.  Paid $7 for that.  Holy Shit.  Those first two albums are brilliant.

A friend of mine begged me to listen to them 10 years ago.  I balked.  Now I feel dumb for it.

Quote from: Pedro the WombatJoy Division - Substance

Great fucking album!

Unfortunatly my cd has an actual HOLE warn through it (no, not the one in the middle)... I have no idea how that happened.
must have listened to it alot...this is my first real joy division listen.  ive heard them before, and thought they were just ok, but then listened to a lot of interpol, and i like them alot.   then i heard they're basically joy division in 2002, so i decided to (not so) blind buy this.  as usual, im not sure what to think yet.

Substance is a great album, but a tough place to start with Joy Division.

Quote from: SloyjI'm not Pedro, but I have that CD and I don't really know what you mean.  I don't know who else is on 4AD.

Mojave 3... Red House Painters... This Mortal Coil... Lush... "arty" stuff. Of course, they also had The Pixies and The Breeders, but those are the American anomalies...

No, Mountain Goats are folk and his 2 releases on 4AD are the only ones he's done in a studio.

The generalization "are 'folk'" does not answer my question (surely you've heard folk that could also be called "arty" in your time? Well, that would definitely fit the "4AD sound" label) or tell me how they sound at all, really... maybe I've been unclear with what I'm asking, but whatever- I was just commenting on the cover art and wondering aloud, no big deal if no fellow former 4AD-philes have any comment.

Mountain Goats share basically no stylistic or artistic common ground with the 4AD you're referring to.

Quote from: the real philhey Pubrick, what do you think of 'her eyes are a blue million miles' from the lebowski soundtrack then??

oh and i agree on what godardian said about doc at the radar station, i think it's a bit better too.

Trout Mask and Doc at the Radar Station are equally flabbergasting, unique, and wonderful.  Thanks again, godardian!

One of my all time favorite albums.  "I Am A Scientist", after 10 years, still utterly destroys me.
