As the hours got wee, we discovered this gem recently added to YouTube. The Fall's Perverted by Language album is in my all-time top 10. I have numerous live / bootleg versions of most of the songs on the disc. What is so cool about this video is that it is the very performance recorded on PbL. I didn't even know a video for this existed. I've listened to the audio so many times, every squeak and squawk, click and clack is burned in my brain. Watching Mark E. Smith and gang actually perform it... so cool!
I've been having a great trip home, including time today at the newly opened Detroit Institute of Arts. Awesome, more later on that I hope...
*Bobji was the singer for Spahn Ranch (I was the guitar player, Odell was the drummer and Hobey the bass player.) We were the Detroit based Spahn Ranch, not the industrial band of the same name (that had much wider acclaim and is what turns up if you use a search engine.) Anyway, someone on the net recently digitized our first (and only) album. Here's a few songs from it: countdown & echos of the day. And here's the cover!
They also made a MySpace page for us.

If you liked Spiritualized you need to try Ian Brown and Primal Scream.
The bit about LCD Soundsystem, its like the saying about 'selling coal to Newcastle', Detroit is the spiritual home of techno with Jeff Mills, Kevin 'Reese' Saunderson and Carl Craig. If you have a chance check out DJ Rolando - Knight of the Jaguar on Underground Resistance. Here it is on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JpD5skqGOo
That's the recording from the Speed Trials compilation (which also has a killer version of 'Smile').
lcd soundsystem is great - love the line "I'm losing my edge to the kids (but I was there)"
