the fabulous sequel,

pereubumusic.bandcamp.com/album/dub-h...

the difficult 2nd album that the majority think is their best (certainly up there), sees p.u. subvert pop music into POP MUSIC - forged (and are still forging) their own path singlemindedly - some might say bloodymindedly! again, with a killer opener.

as i would tell you.........superb t.v.

the question of replacing lps i have sold is based on a further question - can i live without this album? in this case, no, absolutely not!

amazon.co.uk/Modern-Dance-Pere-Ubu/dp...

quite simply, a piece of brilliance both for effect and content, possibly the greatest opening track on any album anywhere, and it's not even the best track on show - that would be the haunting and belligerent 'laughing'. special album, again i've gone for david thomas's (2015) re-mix and master. 'dub housing' will follow.

"Carpetphone Warehouse"

unlimited free tufts!

.......or, fills the podium with............what?

"“Last time Clapton weighed in on politics they had to start Rock Against Racism,”"

it's universally known that clapton is an awful human being..........

"“Confirms everything I’ve ever thought about Clapton, a musician who has spent his entire career appropriating black music and now records his first ‘protest’ song against meager restrictions to slow a disease that is ravaging black communities.”"

...nuff said

as for van morrissey, he's just a selfish old uncaring bastid, whom i suspect has early onset dementia. at least that would be an excuse for the appalling content of lyrics i have seen on his latest record. y'all know i can't stomach him anyway, but looks like a new level of astonishing selfishness has been reached, and look who he's hanging around with!

also an awful human being

poor man, poor, poor man!

pere ubu have very conveniently grouped their back catalogue into 5 distinct periods - historical era/fontana years/modern era/orange period/the dark room - at the time, the modern era came and went without much in the way of interference from me, so about time then,

listening to 'raygun suitcase'
"The album now exists in three forms. The regular release from 1995 and a "Director's Cut" from 2005. The latter includes remixed tracks and different takes, and also two bonus tracks not available on the original release. A third version was released in 2018 by Fire Records, featuring a 2016 remix and all tracks edited to shorter lengths, with three tracks discarded altogether"
i've gone for the latest, as david thomas indicates the best audio versions are from fire records, and it's been recently re-mixed/mastered by mr thomas.

i have 'pennsylvania' and 'st.arkansas', subject to the same david thomas treatments, on pre-order, but i think for now, i'll leave 'why i hate women' and 'why i remix women' as i suspect they will be next up for enhancement. if mr thomas survives to do it, that is.

out on 29 oct, 'y in dub' by dennis bovell/the pop group - each track on 'y' and the 2 sides of the '...good and evil' single dubbed by blackbeard - doesn't say if they are historical or contemporary - need to find out, but either way probably good!
available to pre-order thru' blandcamp, but i ain't paying the £16 postage from the u.s.

gordon, thanks, a lovely piece by rankin, and all true...........i've always been mystified by the music buying public's indifference to big jackie's records! maybe the honesty is/was too much for folks, and save a brief period of record company chart assault, he never sugar coated anything - he was a genius.

val, it's definitely released tomorrow. how long it will take to get to you.......i dunno.

just to see if this thread still works.....

nick cave and warren ellis have announced tour in sept, with only 1 scottish date in embra,

nickcave.com/tour-dates/

for a number of reasons, don't think i'll bother.

in other news. quiet few weeks on the selling front broken by significant orders from 2 gents from the russian federation last week.
trending; the pop group.

I have 1 and would cheerfully burn the remainder.

guess how many i got..................................

give you a clue - more than zero, less than two.

Somewhat more interesting (sorry for maiden fans), and maybe for tim, fire records re-issuing 2 pere ubu albums, 'pennsylvania' and st. arkansas' 0n sept 10. these have both beem re-mixed by david thomas this year. offered separately or both bundled for £20 +£2 p&p thru fire/pere ubu's bandcamp page.

ubu also run a ubuprojex page on blandcamp, this is more concerned with 'live' releases in download form - the intention is to put up recordings from every year they tour/toured. up to 1980 currently. hoping that 'glasgow' comes up from 2013 (was available up till recently on ubuprojex), that was a great show.
