Turntable mania 2

Nisam izdrzao i kupio sam novi gramofon...

headshell i žičice za zvučnicu u banani, da ne psujem sad ja tu

lemio i lemio kao da je to jednostavno, u stvari to se ni ne smije dirati ako niste potpuno sigurni što to radite...
prijašnji vlasnik je izgleda dosta eksperimentirao s ovim tako da sad ja moram kupiti nove jer ovo je veliko niš.

vidim da su i interkonekti stradali, ovo je naime diy opcija za jack.

ova žičica je bila malo previše puta lemljena i eto skratila se do neupotrebljivosti. baci, baci, baci,

trli brli lemljenje žičica, hiroshima mon amour.

stanton namontiran i ready to go...
ali avaj... igla ne valja i bacio ga ja van, probajmo sa dual dms 220 koji bi po rezonanciji zvučnice također lijepo sjeo na ovu ručku.

nakon što ni dual nije vrijedio suvu šlivu, odlučili smo se za priručno rješenje, krasni monacor

kako to samo krasno izgleda, dok ne kupim novu iglu za ortofon super om 10 koja mi je takodjer u banani ovo će morati zadovoljiti, i gle svira, i to dobro.

nisam nešto ali sviram ko veliki. kad narastem bit ću...zamijenjen.
Anyway ako itko ima kakvu ideju za nabavku novog headshell-a koji bi odgovarao ovoj rucki neka slobodno kaze. Ili di bi se mogle kupiti malo dulje žičice za headshell jer one koje sam našao na internertu su uglavnom za ručke s oblika i prekratke su.
hvala unaprijed.

OLD
Sympathy For The Record Industry.

Whatever grand traditions the blues Explosion harken back to, Rob Kennedy and Scott Jarvis are their greatest living practitioners. Now, the Workdogs can play their way out of all the last remaining paper bags in America, leaving a legend on a state of the Grand Canyon, the Mississippi, and the Panama Canal. Just because the duo's adventures in music haven't pointed to much in the way of "career," don't be foolish enough to think that the Workdogs are anything less than great rock'n'roll assets. They may look a little daffy, but one glimpse into the Workdogs' eyes says they've got it all on you. Sharing the name of a dead president's brother is no cakewalk. The honorable Rob K is liable to say anything once he starts to preaching his walking-talking blues, and chances are he'll be able to figure his way out. He swears sympathetically by the most impossible of hard times, the trickiest of rhymes, and the most excusable of crimes. Looking to learn a little of the Workdogs' natural-born and hard-earned wits. Marcellus Hall of Railroad Jerk and Jon Spencer of the Blues Explosion lend guitars to hall of these ten tracks. Honeymoon Killer Jerry Teel and Velvet Monkey Malcolm Riviera also kick in. It was probably the jukebox more than anything else that kept the Workdogs down thus far. Once a bar owner could get music that didn't talk poobahs like Rob K, and Scott Jarvis were numbered. With his gift of gab. Rob K takes you wherever he's been, wherever that he had, the hospital behind the wheel of a big rig, or in the arms of a neighbor's wife. Please don't be tricked by the "harmless old cool" guise-these two are wolves in sheeps' clothes, kid. You have to listen to a man with a talking dog and $1000 of a hooker's money in his underware, and this is the first Workdogs record to really lay it down.

Vintage Cabs!!!






Well, earlier I posted two last outings by legendary Cabaret Voltaire, now it's time for some auld stuff. Two early singles, one rare and one not so much. Vinyl ripps of course, no hiss removal, no click removal, no crackle removal. Just music.

The Passage - Pindrop



The Passage's first album is unique in many ways since this one is in fact a solo record. It sounds like Suicide at times, and at times like their later output. The sound is sparce and minimal and I just loove it.
There is a nice reissue on CD with some early singles on it but is a bitch to find.
music

More Texans - this time it's the Pink Swords



Just what the other review said:it’s another hellswarm of ragged audio dust devils touching down in your ears and scrambling what’s left of your brains in short, barely controlled bursts of animal rage gone all hot and electric. This is rawknroll goddamnit!


More popular in Europe than in US, and that's how I got to know them. Eviva!

The sound of Sheffield from Zagreb



When you start reading about Suicide you find out that the equipment they used was all used, used Farfisa organ, used drum machines etc. The same was with early Cabs, they played whatever they could find and incorporated it all to their sound. Today we don't even have to do that, since there is so much free and shareware software around that you can virtually do the whole thing without or with very little money.
So we come to Narrow, an excellent Cabs inspired project, from Zagreb, Croatia. Heavily into lo-fi, they use analog used equipment and a Sony walkman. Everything is mastered onto a compact cassette due to its "sound quality". This is their first release, made on two mini cd-r's and put into a very intuitive packaging, which resembles LP's gatefold sleeve.
The music itself is a near perfect old fashioned bleepy industro dance that Cabaret Voltaire are the crowned kings of. The prime track here is: Don't talk to me 'bout love, my personal DJ-ing favourite. It gets me started in the right direction.

Weird Psychedelic America!


In this post I give you two very interesting modern psychedelic bands from USA.

First will be Texans ST37 and their album of rarities and outtakes with a silly name: I Smoked Kevin Costner's Shitty Pot, which starts with some studio drone tracks but from the track no. 3 on it is raw garage stuff with somewhat poor sound quality, but with an unbeatable charm and rough but appealing ambience.
Second is band SubArachnoid Space with their live album These Things Take Time which is a recording of their live radio appearance. Songs don't have names, but later do appear in somewhat different form on their subsequent studio albums. Sound quality is very good and the feel of a whole set is impecable. Hope you enjoy this and tell me what you think.
Mind you, this is not as elegant as, say, ambient dub or ambient drone or post rock, this is Hawkwind meets Krautrock meets garage rock meets whatever. This is spacey but in my oppinion a bit rougher on the edge than your common dub. This is Can on fuzz.
Here are some excerpts of what I found on the web and at the end ... LINKS.
Enjoy.
SubArachnoid Space was formed in 1996, first as a trio, then almost immediately adding the second guitar role. Since then, the band has continued to explore the infinite variations of instrumental mind-expanding heavy rock and drone.
ST 37 was formed in January 1987 as a merger of sorts between Austin cult bands Tulum and the Elegant Doormats. Bassist S.L. Telles has been active in the Texas music underground since singing with Houston teen punkers Vast Majority in '79-'80, releasing a single on Wild Dog records that has since been reissued several times, including outtakes. Telles formed the Elegant Doormats in spring 1982 with original ST 37 drummer John Foxworth (who later joined Tulum). The group endured for five years, playing with bands like the Butthole Surfers and the Reivers, and recording with legendary God of Hellfire Arthur Brown.
Guitarist Joel Crutcher and vocalist Carlton Crutcher founded Tulum in 1985, and recorded for Rabid Cat records before that label disintegrated. Jello Biafra wrote, "The bizarre side of Austin is still alive - first the Buttholes, then Scratch Acid, and now Tulum."

Sunburned Hand Of The Man - Magnetic Drugs




Magnetic Drugs is a very tightly constructed collection of tracks which is absorbing from start to finish. The record starts off intensely with a seriously focus swirl of noise called "the Overt Statuette," easily the most cacophonous thing that the Sunburned Hand crowd has laid down to date.
While some complain about the band's small print runs (this disc came from limited and numbered edition of 250 copies), as of this writing it was still available from online retailers Eclipse Records and Father Yod. If you have any interest in free, improvised music, take advantage of this availability while you still can. The Sunburned Hand of the Man have carved a significant and well-deserved niche for themselves within the free-music underground. Some naysayers claim that the band is more hype than substance—an examination of their released output will demonstrate that such talk is misguided and that they deserve all of they praise that they've been given. Magnetic Drugs is probably the album that grew on me. It's the most focused of the three that I own, and is the best for the introduction to the band. Now that the Uncut magazine has discovered them it will be very hard for you not to stumble upon them. Hope their music won't change in the years to come, they really are an exciting band as you are about to discover.

One Dimensional Man, great noise rock from Italy


One Dimensional Man were born as a brainchild of Pierpaolo Capovilla (voice & bass) & Massimo Sartor (guitar), together with Dario Perissutti (drums). Their eponymous debut album, came out in May '97, has 13 tracks with sound closest to Touch & Go bands especially those produced by Steve Albini, violent, rhythmic and uncompromising. The album was highly praised in press that year and was perhaps the best release by Wide Records up to that date. They promoted the album up to the end of '98 playing100 concerts in Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Chech Repblic and Slovakia. They supported Blonde Redhead, The Cows, Kepone, Fluxus, Uzeda. 1998, Massimo left the group and was replaced by Giulio Favero, young guitar player from independent Padovan scene . With Giulio, One Dimensional Man sort of shifted their sound towards a more bluesy feel.

This official bootleg -quite difficult to find- exists under 2 formats, both in limited edition :12" : edited by 'Red Star Records Inc thru Bronze Rec Ltd', limited edition, 1000 copies.

23 Minutes in Brussels
(recorded at Anciennes Belgique 16/6-1978)
Ghost Rider
Rocket USA
Cheree Dance
Frankie Teardrop

It restores the ambient of a very chaotic concert in Brussels, Belgium (tour supporting bands like The Clash and Elvis Costello for a european tour) : Something began with the song Frankie Teardrop, and soon converts to a full riot, Alan Vega had even his nose broken.
Legends are built something like that no?
The Brussels' recording has also been re-issued as bonus trackof some CD-reissues, including the last (1998) one (20 years later).

"We're all frankies Except Some Belgians" (as stated on the 12" ex.)



Rare Melvins 7inch Vinyl Rips



For completists only, but not quite dissapointing. It's raw, it's slow, hard and it's pure Melvins.

You Remain Anonymous




Lubricated Goat was a noise rock band from Australia led by Stuart Grey. This album came out on PCP records, and is a result of Stu’s relocation to the States. This incarnation of the band was New York City all star line-up with members of such bands as Motorhead Bug, Cop Shoot Cop, and Railroad Jerk. It has Unsane/Foetus/Swans drummer Vinnie Signorelli on drums and he leaves his mark especially on the opening track “You Remain Annonymous” which is as good song as it gets. The album becomes more drone-like and slower in pace towards the end and is in many ways a rock n’roll album Foetus never made. This short-lived incarnation marks the end of Lubricated Goat, with Grey going to the West Coast and joining Bloodloss along with Mark Arm of Mudhoney fame, but it didn't last long either.

The Drone Dance


Lustmord vs. Metal Beast

From Forced Exposure:
“This album is the result of a collaborative performance broadcast live on KUCI 89.9, Orange County, California, June 20 1997. The performance was arranged at short notice, and structured so as to be largely improvisational. While musical fads and fashions all too often dictate form and function, neither Lustmord nor Metal Beast desire to be constrained by definitions, and as such the results are a powerful, collision of noise and rhythm, with no quarter given to compromise“

The finest Lustmord release if you ask me, with a brighter sound than usual. I think it's Metal Beast who comes from techno to be thanked to, but it works perfectly well. It sounds like a a field recording mixed with some drones plus heavily distorted dance rhythms which blends amazingly, and at the same time danceable too, which is not exactly the word to be associated with Lustmord in the first place. While I think this release might irritate some of the more hardcore/diehard Lustmord fans, I think it is good for him to have fun and experiment with concepts, elements and ideas that he normally avoids. I call it progress, and it sounds damn good to me.

Bi-coastal political dance-punks !!! have announced details of their third album.Myth Takes will be released in March through Warp; it's the eight-man band's follow-up to the very decent indeed Louden Up Now long-player of 2004.The Warp website states that the album "combines an enhanced focus on incredible song writing with all the intricacy, freedom and shear dance floor swagger that made Louden Up Now such a delight". Excited? Oh good.

It sounds more postpunk than before on a first – title track, than more disco on All My Heroes are Weirdos, than on lenghtier tracks such as Bend Over Beethoven it kinda feels like Hawkwind have discovered disco. Utterly stunning. !!! have made a great album indeed. Roll on annother great year.

Readymade: Bold



So the clicks and cuts found ways to be more palatable to the overground. Readymade sinks right in and keeps the integrity of the IDM movement with excellent sound production and knob twiddling. Consonant, glitchy noises bounce off each other in the most thought provoking and intriguing ways. But they also manage to create some of the most appealing melodies and addictive grooves. A couple tracks even incorporate vocals that flow so well over the experimental music, it’s like they were born together that way. Hell, it even has David Sylvian on one excellent track"Sugar Fuel."He did a marvelous job and it was back in 2001 when we all believed that he'll never record again. Well, we were very wrong. Blemish anyone?
Listen to this first.
It's a hell of a record.

Ding Dong!!!



DING DONG’, LP/CD (Kitty-Yo, 2000)
I don't know much about Jeans Team except the fact that they recorded this album for the German label Kitty-Yo, and that they are the closest I heard somebody came to something we could call electro punk. I came across this album working in a music shop, and while I was in search of some quality glitch stuff. This was not glitch but was so much more. It wasn't as aggressive as Atari Teenage Riot but was so joyfull and young, so fresh. Like a celebration of youth. My favourite track is unforgettable and hopelessly catchy little tune Keine Melodien. Yo no canto melodias, yo canto 1,2,3,4. A true gem.

Cabaret Voltaire - International Language 1993



Becoming less funk and less acid house made Cabaret Voltaire able to reinvent themselves once again in a glorious fashion, and International Language is no exeption to the rule. This is ambient techno at its finest. These guys simply know how to make music, or as in case with their ex member Chris Watson, not to make music but sound. Kings!!!

Cabaret Voltaire - The Conversation




A sort of a goodbye by Kirk and Mallinder, this is, up to this date, the last album by the Cabs and is one of their finest if not thee finest of the later period. It is where they show just how great they really are. A band so far ahead of their, and our time as well, that it hurts. You'll find no other band like this.

The Best of 2006



I think I'm going a bit soft here but this is the best album released this year. It's Crane Wife by The Decemberists whom I didn't like that much because they sounded much alike some of the bands I wouldn't exactly call my favourites (R.E.M., The Smiths etc...)
But somwhere along the line they listened to some ELP, who also suck, but it all melted into best album of last year by far, together with TV On The Radio and The Knife.

Thanx to the original uploader!!!!
