What Music are you listening to at the moment ?, by mutatis on Jul 22, 2016 12:30:55 GMT 1, Following the death of Alan Vega RIP (23 June, 1938 - 16 July 2016), I couldn't help but dig out the old Suicide records. Like other groups of their ilk they appeared to be extremely influential without necessarily reaping the kudos as evidenced by one of the band's songs that has been covered by many a group....
A top cover of an Alan Vega song and great to see this group back doing what they do best which is playing live

What Music are you listening to at the moment ?, by mutatis on Jul 24, 2016 18:15:25 GMT 1, Flipper - Get AwayVera Hall - Another Man Done GoneConnect the dots. Win a cookie. As someone who liked Flipper, I recall Moby claiming that he was briefly a member of Flipper, and whilst I guffawed loudly, it was no laughing matter at the time.
For his album Play, Moby relied heavily on folk, blues and spiritual songs for his source material, some of which were field recordings made by ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax. Another Man Done Gone by Vera Hall is a field recording by Lomax. On Play, the Lomax field recording of Vera Hall's Trouble So Hard (an acapella) is re-fashioned by Moby adding some music to accompany the vocal, et voila Natural Blues.

What Music are you listening to at the moment ?, by met on Jul 26, 2016 13:47:04 GMT 1, Thanks met for uploading the Flipper. Sexbomb was one of their first tracks that I heard, and it still sounds good to my ears today. A pleasure to see someone recognising the name of this band.
Flipper was introduced to me by a school classmate โ a vegan (radical back then, almost revolutionary) who used to make his own soap.
Don't recall the first song I ever heard, but it may have been The Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly. At the time, I found it not just challenging but plain awful. [It was a case of, "Give me John Wayne Was a Nazi by Millions of Dead Cops over this dirge any day."]
That said, I did love the record's accompanying graphic, a photocopy of which was on my locker door for a year or two:
Another amusingly-irritating Flipper song (which I won't name because it'll trigger one of the many irksome, automatically-generated hyperlinks on this forum) can be found here.
----------
It was an extraordinary period to be an "alternative music" fan. Not just for the punk and hardcore scenes, but also the mod and ska revivals, and what was then often referred to as cold wave or dark wave.
Went to see Violent Femmes promoting their first album with that same classmate. The opening duo was Deja Voodoo, a cult Montreal-based "sludgeabilly" act. Impressive live (and not to be confused with the Kiwi rock band that later stole the name).
If you're interested in hearing the sound a guitar with two missing strings and a drum kit without cymbals, check out Someone In My House:

-speaking of Moby, - I just saw an epic show with him playing guitar for Bad Brains at Shep's place last Saturday. Dave Grohl hopped in for about half the set. I told my daughter it was her first true punk show.... it had only been about 35 years since I saw them last..... lol... ec some footage:

Can't say I've played or heard it in years until now.
I think it would be safe to assume that you were on the west coast (or Canada). Most likely Canada as Violent Femmes would probably have had a local band open for them. Anyway, it seems you were contemporaneous with the hardcore scene. Like many Brits of a certain age and persuasion - John Peel served as a musical guru, so a lot of the American hardcore bands were introduced to me by his show. However there was a disconnect in terms of my level of engagement, further compounded by the fact that tours by US bands were few and far between. Evidently it was a scene I could not be part of and could only view from a far. Probably just as well because it made some of our more violent gigs seem like nothing at all.
Whilst in the UK in 1980, although we were well and truly in the era of post-punk, punk had never died, and groups like The Exploited, Anti-Nowhere League, Vice Squad, Discharge, G.B.H., Chron Gen, Anti Pasti to name a few were busy trying resuscitate punk's dying corpse. This though seemed to be about the third wave of music for angry young boys/girls which seemed faster and more heavy metal or at least heavy rock. This was not for me. In the UK there was a more glam end of punk /post-punk that interested me (some of which was foolishly labelled ("goth"). Not that any scenes were mutually exclusive, I had a brief temporary transatlantic shift of attention to US hardcore, inspired most likely by the arrival here in late 1980 of the Dead Kennedys whose first UK gig I went to see. By then their album had dropped and it included all the singles. The first time I heard California Uber Alles is indelibly etched in my mind. Consequently i began to pay more attention to the US bands that Peel played and read Maximum Rock n' Roll. I was not deeply enamoured with the apparent darlings of the scene, Black Flag, but bands which stood out to me were Flipper, X, Germs, and East Coast bands particularly Bad Brains (fantastic live), Minor Threat, Misfits ... all that didn't really last that long as simultaneously there were plenty of homegrown UK bands to be distracted by ..... I don't know whether hardcore died or in what condition it was in the US, but in the mid 80s along came another wave of US bands which made me totally forget about US hardcore for years ... Big Black, Sonic Youth, Butthole Surfers, Swans ... who were not really part of any US scene as such but were wholeheartedly embraced by the UK music media (NME) who created their own scene around these bands.
As you say it was a great time for those into alternative music.
