for me, the idea of bjork is more compelling than the actual thing.

good point...there's no punk rock representation yet... penelope houston (avengers) joan jett (blackhearts) poly styrene (x ray spex) siouxsie (banshees) exene (x)

i prefer the b000 version, but the 30 songs version of 'echoes myron' is a lot better than the b000 one.

i'm only counting people who either are the clear front person, or have significant creative input into a band (ie, Kim Gordon is not mentioned because of this). PJ Harvey Barbara Manning Thalia Zedek (Uzi, Live Skull, Come, solo) Fontaine Toups (Versus) Wata (Boris) Juliana Hatfield (solo, Blake Babies) Sylvia Juncosa (solo, To Damascus, SWA) Kate Village (Major Stars, Magic Hour, Crystalized Movements) Electrelane (all of them) Meg Baird (Espers) honorable mention: Marcy Mays (Scrawl) Bilinda Butcher (My Bloody Valentine) Marissa Nadler Cosey Fanni Tutti (COUM transmissions, Throbbing

it's all about 'peephole'

fair enough. you've definitely heard enough of Hitchcock to form an opinion. i would recommend listening to _I Often Dream Of Trains_, a spare and sparse outing, mainly him on acoustic guitar, w/ a little bit of piano here and there (and soprano sax on the gorgeous "Flavour of Night") Robyn's put out a 2cd live set consisting of just Dylan songs. it's quite good.

buy this: http://www.amazon.com/Anthology-Clean/dp/B00007L7E1 is this board cool w/ doing zipped mp3 uploads? if so, i'll do a ~8 song sampler that will give you a good dose of what i'm talking about re: 80s New Zealand music. two serious questions: 1 - what have you heard from Hitchcock? 2 - do you like Barrett and Dylan?

now this is blasphemy...Flying Nun is the greatest label of all time. The Chills The Clean The Bats Verlaines The Pin Group This Kind of Punishment/Jefferies brothers Gordons Dead C The Rip/Alastair Galbraith Tall Dwarfs Bill Direen/Bilders all those bands put out totally essential records in the 80s.

i suppose it could be, if you don't own any records released by SST, Homestead, Flying Nun, Factory, etc...

replace 'Lay Lady Lay' for 'Knockin' On Heaven's Door' for me.

well in defense of IRDB, this thread basically is a breeding ground for flame wars. but i do agree that the Dead are woefully over-rated.

i do love 'Dondante' and think it's their best song by a wide margin.

by 2nd time in a row i meant 2nd time that i've seen him...saw him play in '06 as well and he did the same thing.

i was pretty bummed that for the 2nd time in a row, Ray sang '20th century man' and left out the bridge (the part w/ the 'i was born in a welfare state'). why the hell would he do that? it's the best part of the song!

i won't be able to go w/ a month-by-month rundown...i probably bought 150LPs and 30-40 cds. that's just a wild guess.

Review: Neko Case w/ Calexico and a stealth shot of Neko

i really like _Shelter from the Ash_ a lot, and _Dark Noontide_ as well. _Songs For Octavio Paz_ is pretty mellow, but good. they are 12" records; the Tyst Minut came as a bonus CD on the _Tat De Lugnt_ cd reissue. not sure if _Samtidigt_ has been reissued...it originally came out on Mexican Summer which is an off-shoot of Kemado and has put out some fine fine records, including ones from Kurt Vile and Wooden Shjips.

i am still waiting to see them play live...it just hasn't worked out the last couple of dates they've played boston (was out of town, and the 2nd time the show sold out and i couldn't get in).

I had The National and Wilco in my mind, but just because DtS put out the relative clunker BAAC, it hardly detracts from the greatness of SRO, TDS and DD. likewise, Neko's only got two records which i consider stunners, and they are the last two. Wilco was a tough one, but ultimately they didn't make the cut. another attempt could yield a different list. i'd say the only true locks on the list would be Mogwai and Boris.

seeing Cortez' list makes me realize that both Drive-By Truckers and Jason Molina belong. but who to chop off?

Duane Denison, anyone? pretty much forged his own style. i can never tire of 'monkey trick'

when i saw Roger Daltrey last week he mentioned the Tea Party.

the new one is really good. i didn't care for any post-SB material, really. however, he has turned the live show into a cul de sac that he can't exit.
