#NowPlaying #TheClash #Sandinista!

Has anyone else ever deigned to package a hefty 3-LP set in a single, cheap cardstock cover like The Clash did back in 1980 with their "Sandinista!" album? Some retro pop-punker act is really missing a trick.

More new books, this time with added meaning.

The musician Tom Verlaine, singer, songwriter, guitarist of the very influential 1970s band Television was an avid book collector. He passed in January of last year.

So his tens of thousands of books are being sold. I bought three which are representative in some part of his life and his interests.

They arrived yesterday.

Here's a link for more about the man and his books; there's a link to an article on LitHub which is also worth reading. Enjoy.

I just let down my hair and FULLY TURNED UP my desk speakers so my neighbors could also enjoy the SHEER RIFFAGE from this BANGER of a first track from the new High On Fire record 'Cometh the Storm' that comes out April 19 (nice).

It does NOT disappoint.

Unfortunately, this festival sank into chaos due to the poor sound quality, listless performances by some bands and the terrible toilet situation

#NowPlaying - fairport convention, live at the troubadour in LA, september 1970. less autumnal & more high-powered post-sandy denny lineup, but still more jiggy/reely than boogie. nonetheless a sparkling "sloth" with big "marquee moon" like peak by richard thompson. @vinylrecords

Bruce Springsteen - The Ghost of Tom Joad

As fun as Springsteen's poppier, more bombastic records are, the ones that always draw me in at the quieter, more reflective ones. This, Nebraska, and Devils & Dust are by far and away my favourites of his work.

Started N. K. Jeminsen's Broken Earth series (yes I know shut up nerds I read on my own time) and it has a strong musical vibe to it, like, it feels like some prog metal up in there. So I got to wondering, what are your favourite #BookSounds?

N. K. Jeminsen - The Fifth Season, Animals As Leaders - Parrhesia

Future Days: Krautrock and the Building of Modern Germany - David Stubbs

With a book like this, there's an element where some parts will interest me and others won't just because of where my interests lie - I prefer bands like Can and Faust, while the Berlin School puts me to sleep (there's so many better things to listen to than Europeans doodling on a moog for forty minutes, my god), and motorik is fine but I hardly listen to it everyday, so inevitably some parts of the book were more interesting to me than others

But one of the most frustrating things about this book for me is that he'll make a lot of references to the machismo of the scene, saying it had little room for women, but then MAKE NO MENTION OF SLAPP HAPPY. NOT A SINGLE LINE. One of the reasons I had decided to read this book was, actually, because I was going on a big Slapp Happy kick! Sorry, you don't get to pose as the Good Male Ally denouncing the marginalization of women in German rock if your own book on it marginalizes the great Dagmar Krause

Overall, though, this book maintains an Anglo historiography. Krautrock, after all, is a genre born in the UK, and it was "the weird German bands that sold well to hipsters and punks in the UK". And there's a certain extent to which the Anglo gaze is probably unavoidable, given stunts like The Faust Tapes and the Eno collaborations with Cluster and Harmonia and the mutual influence between Bowie and Kraftwerk. Can't get around it. But despite the pretensions of the book to talk about how this music helped to create a new Germany, there's no real sense of what the scene looked like from a German perspective, and it concludes by talking about the influence it rather had on bands like Sonic Youth and Stereolab

And then some unanswered questions come up. There's a lot in this book on the great producer Conny Plank, known for his work with Cluster, Neu! etc. But if you check out his Wikipedia page, there's stuff on there about how he also produced...the first Scorpions album? To what extent was there actually a crossover there? Did they come out of the same scene originally? (I have to confess I've never listened to Early Scorpions)

In spite of all my critiques, though, the book got me to revisit some albums I hadn't listened to in a while, which is one of the main things you can ask of a music book
