You're unbelievable....
SATAN’S PILGRIMS
At Home With Satan’s Pilgrims
1995 U.S. pressing
One of the greatest instrumental #surf #garagerock bands ever, of whom John Peel was a big fan.
They took that great #california surf sound, mixed it with Sonics-esque garage rock from the #PacificNorthwest and played it to perfection whilst wearing Dracula capes.
What’s not to love about that?
Everyone I’ve ever played them for has said the same thing;
“Yeah dude. That shit is awesome.”

In the 90s I loved that first Rentals record as I've mentioned- and the Rentals have like, this strange alternate version of it on Bandcamp (with a live version of Friends of P? And missing The Love I'm Searching For?), which is weird, but the version they have there has this song that was on the Friends of P single that I had back in the 90s-- it's called 'So Soon', and it's rad as fuck. The Moog hook, the simplicity. Man, those Rentals.
It's a Rentals afternoon.
Lifts the mood every time.

THE AFGHAN WHIGS
Gentlemen
2014 U.S. Reissue
One of the most seminal albums of my youth. I was 15 when it came out, & I instantly fell in love with it.
My young existence & relationships were so fucked up at the time, that TOO MUCH of this album made sense.
I felt everything Dulli was singing about.
THAT & the band were so unique & SO good, I hadn’t heard anyone like them. They’ve been with me my whole life, & Gentlemen has only gotten better.

HELMET
Meantime
2017 U.S. Reissue
This one goes to 11.
Helmet threw a nasty 1, 2 punch at us with THIS and the follow up Betty.
These records are SO HARD and so musical. Nobody sounded like them. When a Helmet song came on, you knew it was them.
Page Hamilton is one of the most talented musicians the #90s ever gave us. Dude studied jazz guitar at Manhattan School of Music and got a master’s degree.
Helmet was just a drop in the bucket.

2023 Worldwide 2xLP Reissue
Ltd. Ed. Sky Blue #vinyl
Man. What a frustrating day.
Going to get lost in THIS for last spin of the night, & start with a clean slate tomorrow.
Of all the Mogwai albums I care to own, this was the only one I was missing, until I found it on my day trip to Victoria yesterday.
An excellent sounding reissue, particularly “Like Herod”, which sounds insane.

Agboti Yawo Mawuena – Ablode Gbadja
https://amf.didiermary.fr/agboti-yawo-mawuena-ablode-gbadja/
This well-known & revered Togolese singer fled his country and spent 20 years abroad (in Ghana and other countries) after his song “Ablode Gbadja*” was misunderstood in a period of political unrest in the country. He came back home in 2010.
* Ablodé is a word in Mina or Ewé for “independence” or “freedom”. […]

NINE INCH NAILS
Broken
2017 Europe Remastered Reissue
Etched.
+ 7” single
Forever my favorite Nine Inch Nails recording. Anything else in the catalog I’d pick would be a VERY distant 2nd.
This reissue sounds MONSTROUS, & the best thing about it is they included what were tracks 98 & 99 on the CD on a separate 7” single. One of them, a cover of Adam Ant’s “Physical”, is the ONLY version of that song.
Just a pummeling, noisy, 30 minute masterpiece.

I just realised that my feelings about the music of the 90s (my teen years), is probably the same way my parents felt in the 90s about the music in the 60s..... BOOM! my brain has exploded.
