Faiding Trails is okay,not great though, it's a collection of tracks from several different recording sessions so has a somewhat uneven feel to it, some full band ,other songs produced by Steve Albini and some solo home demos.

I'd reccomend the current solo Jason Molina Let Me Go Let Me Go release as the better of two of his current releases,really beautiful haunting stuff. He's always been better at that than the sub crazy horse stuff he does as MECO.

Hmm, v interesting! is the vid from a rehearsal or something or an actual show?

searched some of the lyrics on google but nothing came up,must be something pretty obscure.

I'm guessing the vid was circa 91 right?

Ghost Is born!

In late June 2006, development company Derwent Valley Central struck a deal with Mean Fiddler to buy the London Astoria, and they intend to demolish it in order to build a new development of shops, office space and flats. They're destroying an arts venue to make way for more shops, and all to profit from the Olympics.

We think that this is just rude; when it's gone and the Olympics are over, we, the people who actually live here will have made a huge loss. After all, London's our city, we want to keep the things that make it special. We're all for making loads of money but not by getting rid of such a legendary, fantastic venue.

It'd be terrible to lose the only venue of its size in its area of London. Other similar ones like the Electric Ballroom and Koko are way north. For most people, that's pretty inaccessible, and let's face it, Camden isn't the nicest place to be caught late at night. Having a venue just off Oxford Street is easier to get to and much safer.

With the music scene expanding the way it is at the moment, places like this are more important than ever. If you cut out the middle sized venues, how will a band progress properly from small to huge? And it seems to us that most young bands dream of playing the Astoria; having just lost Top of the Pops wouldn't it be harsh to lose this as well?

And remember that in May 2000, after acquiring the Astoria, Mean Fiddler told us they were 'securing the future of live music at one of London

I like the womans voice a lot! I think her vocals gel really well with Oldhams and makes the album much more interesting than the damp squib that was Master & Everyone! Theres a couple of dull songs in middle but am generally think its his most cohesive release in ages.

Love em, Love em, Love em!

Their last show at the Astoria in London was amazing, gutted i missed em at Koko when apparantly they were even better and Feist was playing with them then. Check out here album "Let It Die" which is great.

I actually prefer the most recent album to "You Forgot It In People" but both are excellent.

Worth getting the Live at Radio Aligre ep where they play some tunes acoustic, actually there are quite a few radio sessions around where they strip down some of their songs to beautiful little acoustic numbers!

"Stand ruins everything else on that record..."

I love Stand Green is the only REM album I really like,all the others have a song or two I dislike enough to skip. Some how the darker & more melancholy songs seem to work well with the goofy ones,maybe its just me, it was the first album of theirs I got into back in 88 so maybe that explains it.

1. Green (I can't believe how little love this album gets, it is such an amazing album, Hairshirt, World leader pretend,I remember california,You are the everything...)

2. Murmur

3. Fables
