It’s unlikely that many people reading this blog will like this but I don’t care. My favourite band, Carcass, release their new album Surgical Steel today. I have to admit that I had a naughty download of it weeks back but seeing as I’ve bought two copies of the thing on vinyl at great expense I think I’m justified in hearing it a little early.
Growing up I loved these guys’ music. Necroticism and Heartwork are two of the most perfect records that I’ve ever heard so I was a little worried when they announced a new album. First listen showed that they’d done a good job and repeated listens (there have been, like, a lot) made me realise that they’d totally excelled themselves. It’s awesome.
This is unlikely to be everyone’s cup of tea but anyone who’s at all into metal needs to check this out. It’s on Spotify…
If you liked that then why not pick up one of the lovely vinyl editions, CDs or tapes that are available?
Available from
Amazon

Catch me down at Off The Record on the 28th playing an all vinyl jungle set. I think I might even be on for 2 hours or so which means I’ll have to pack an extra big bag for all those lovely tunes!
Seiji is on before/after me so he should be providing some nice house/breakbeat sounds for y’all. See you at Lockside Lounge!

Smooth soul from the one and only Theolonious Monk. Apart from having an awesome name he was responsible for many solid grooves from the 80s and beyond. This is one of them.

Killer 80s synth pop taken from what I didn’t know was the band’s sixth album, Quartet. Forget Vienna, this is the one.

Should bands still be making glam metal in this day and age? Reckless Love certainly think so. Steel Panther, who are a bit shite, do as well but are exceedingly entertaining live (and have their tongues placed firmly in their cheeks about the whole thing).
Not totally convinced by all of this but it’s really no different from the utter garbage that I have a very soft spot for that came out three decades ago. Also, surely these men are too old to be wearing spandex?
