Three Liars albums.

Tagging these albums was kind of challenging, and I may not have done it adequately. However, Liars are a band I'm listening to a lot these days because of how unique their sound is: tribal, chant-y, drone by a threesome of Australian boys. (...oh.) It's like a more organic Fuck Buttons (who I'd also recommend highly and who you can also find if you skip back a few pages), but it's no less frightening and sounds no less like heartbeats. I most highly recommend Drum's Not Dead as a starting point.

I was just going to post Drum's Not Dead, but one good turn deserves two more, right?


They Threw Us All In A Trench and Stuck A Monument on Top (2002)


They Were Wrong, So We Drowned (2004)


Drum's Not Dead (2006)

Two Psychic TV albums.

Psychic TV was the band that Genesis P. Orridge formed with another member of Throbbing Gristle after the latter was defunct. It's not quite as grinding and harsh as Throbbing Gristle, but it's still an overall good time. This post is mostly for Tom, who had not heard them last I checked.


Dreams Less Sweet (1983)


Allegory and Self (1988)

Celebration - Celebration (2005)

Oh man, this is really excellent. I'm not even really sure how to tag this in a way that isn't douchily vague and probably inaccurate. Their last.fm page tells me that this band is "cabaret punk", but don't take that to mean it's mediocre, (unpleasantly) grating, Amanda Palmer-esque music for mall goths refusing the label. It's a little like They Shoot Horses Don't They in the sense that the vocals are a frantic and vary drastically in pitch, and the music is explosively exuberant in a freak-ass, circus kind of way. As of late, this is one of the few records that I've instantly liked in its entirety, and I'm now actively seeking their second one.

Tuxedomoon - Pinheads On The Move (1987)

Tuxedomoon formed in San Francisco in the mid-80's and kind of blew people away with their extremely weird, slightly spazzy art / new wave / experimental sound, which is slightly electronic but mostly just an aural aneurism. I enjoy it thoroughly.

They Shoot Horses Don't They - Boo Hoo Hoo Boo (2006)

This is a really odd record of layered noises and quirky interjections. It's like a weird, colourful dream carnival in your brain!

Roxy Music - Viva! (1976)

This is hands down one of the best live albums to ever have graced my discriminating ear. In fact, it's the first thing I heard by Roxy Music, and, even at 15, I knew this was going to be a long, steady, mutually beneficial relationship. If you haven't heard much / anything at all by this band, I think this is a good starting point; if you find them as amazing live as I did (and still do), their studio albums will be worth checking out. In fact, there will probably be a discography post as soon as possible.

2. Pyjamarama [live]
3. The Bogus Man [live]
