Morrissey! Morrissey! (Think "'ere we go!") bellowed from the balconies and stalls of the Birmingham Symphony Hall as if it were the terraces of a Cup Final game. Mozzer's die-hard fans (you could almost say Fundamentalists) do not like to be kept waiting.

Comprising of Pixies' bassist Kim Deal, Tanya Donnelly (Belly, Throwing Muses), Kim's twin sister Kelly on lead guitar (who couldn't actually play when she joined) and drummer Jim MacPherson this four-piece fuse garage-grunge with surfer-rock coolness.The mixture of Deal's coy, yet sexy vocal and the raw Ninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04937987378626412026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680678.post-1151074660020566322006-06-23T15:54:00.000+01:002006-10-09T12:12:31.396+01:00The Flaming Lips - At War With The MysticsAlbum number 12 from the Oklahoma 3 piece (or 4 piece if you count Kliph), which has taken them in a slightly different direction then previous albums (Yoshimi and Soft Bulletin). Still keeping the pshychodelic sound that is much loved, but putting it with lyrics that are more mystical and space bound.I'm not always impressed with the slight re-invention Ninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04937987378626412026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680678.post-1151073229567305572006-06-23T15:25:00.000+01:002006-06-23T15:33:49.600+01:00Amazon Recommendations.....What's the most bizarrest thing Amazon suggests you purchase?I went thru a stage of checking and editting my recommendations every day. Now I've got down to about four albums (a couple of Modest Mouse CDs, one by Aphex Twin and one by a band called Tunng, which I'm very curious about) and they don't seem to be recommending any more. I even found myself searching for Ninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04937987378626412026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680678.post-1151072285305460952006-06-23T14:52:00.000+01:002006-06-23T15:20:06.400+01:00Be Your Own Pet - Be Your Own PetThis is a very powerful debut album from Nashville teenagers (I think the total age of the band is 43!) Be Your Own Pet.An amazingly raw and exciting collection of songs, which you really shouldn't like or listen to out of choice. But, strangely enough it's very easy to keep going back for more!The sound sometimes seems like an unfocused, raucous banshee-blast Ninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04937987378626412026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680678.post-1151065812530244732006-06-23T13:17:00.000+01:002006-06-23T14:47:27.176+01:00The Concretes - In ColourAnother indie-pop nugget which has been on the Dirtychurch playlist is the second album, In Colour, by a pretty band called The Concretes. Hailing from Switzerland, this eight piece group have made some very sweet music. Again, good melodies are the drawing force, combining some elements of motown with bubble-gum pop, girl-groupesque vocal style and the instrumental Ninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04937987378626412026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680678.post-1151057107564002212006-06-23T10:06:00.000+01:002006-07-07T14:10:52.030+01:00Welcome one and all......if anyone is actually reading this??What was once a blog filled with filth and innuendo is now a place of some use (I hope).It will probably start off as an aimless ramble, but I'm sure a stucture and a purpose will come to me soon.From now on I'll be writing about something that I didn't realise was so important to me: Music.
