Nomeansno - Small Parts Isolated And Destroyed
Three men that made treachery, betrayal, psychopathy, pointless aspiration and the apocalypse the biggest shitload of fun you could imagine. This is my favourite LP of theirs ... this still rings every bell I'd forgotten I had. If only I could remember where I put my bells ... anyway, vinyl rip that is vastly superior to the later digital versions.
LP released on Alternative Tentacles in 1988 but I think it hit me in the future brexit shit hole a year later.

Nomeansno - The Day Everything Became Nothing
Ahhh ... Canaduh's finest!
Apparently, it was 33 years ago that Mr Peel played the title track to me. I fell out of bed and so started a long love affair. NMN are brilliant. Period. I was lucky enough to see them a lot up between 88 and the ten years after. I'm ashamed to say, I lost track for a while after that. In terms of live gigs, I struggle to split the joy factor between them, Swans, Sonic Youth and Fugazi in terms of sweat extruded, injuries accumulated and the shit-eating grins that lasted for weeks.
I bought this immediately on hearing it. The next LP "Small Parts Isolated And Destroyed" followed soon after and bought that and still have that tour shirt somewhere. Then the CD version of Small Parts came out with this as additional tracks. I bought that as well. On the CD, "Brother Rat / What Slayde Says" are split into two tracks ... if you got the vinyl first then it clunks like fuck. On vinyl, one flows into the other ... this is a vinyl rip so if you've never? Listening back to this ... the first two tracks should be ripped as one as well. I'll get around to it at some point.
A 12" released on Alternative Tentacles in 1988.

Various - Art Is (C)over Vol.1 - Tribute to The Gerogerigegege
This is partially unofficial ... a little bit pregnant then. A lot of this appeared as a single sided tape released on Ontregeld Geluid Records in 2015. Then a lot more strange people were added to the list so it more than doubles the fun. The original tape is here by the way.
CD released on Vis A Vis Audio Arts in 2016.

Something Like Elvis - Personal Vertigo
They saved the best until first? Maybe. Leticia is far too earnest and mainstream for me but the rest is gravy. For good measure, they turn in a version of NoMeansNo's "Dad" that seriously competes with the original and that is saying something indeed!
CD jointly released on Antena Krzyku & Smoeff in 1997.

Something Like Elvis - Shape
If you've been here for a while then you will know exactly where my guitar sensibilities lie ... and it would appear you also get some free tabla and accordian. Seriously, nothing to not adore.

World's End Girlfriend - Ending Story
On superficial surveillance many years ago, I knew exactly what to expect ... post-REM emo, what's the point? I still do that inverse snobbery bollocks but generally I've learnt not to admit it in public. Oh, erm forget I said that. So yeah, as always, my first instincts were completely correct ... this is genius. Katsuhiko Maeda starting off with classically sculptured electronica building to Massive Attack phatness and reverse engineered aphexpusher. So, for good measure, now you are comfortable he throws in one neck snapping turn after another. Wonderful.
CD courtesy of F.R.D Record in 2000.

Fucking hell, it's hot over here ...
So, here's a Polish band that should be sitting on thrones in front of their own golden statues. For all I know, that is what they are doing right now. Wonderfully articulate post-rock post-whatever with an adorable Stereolab / Belle & Sebastian vibe going on. Honestly, it's not heatstroke ... it's wonderful!
CD released on Post_Post in 2002.
