barty's guide to the post-punks

[thirdform]

lads, this is a thread to coax barty into being a spluttering hot take machine.

Thank you.

 

[IdleRich]

Got it on now. Decent. That you on vocals?

It is yes. I think that was the extent of my input (but I honestly don't remember), must have been really drunk for them to persuade me to sing. It kinda ended up sounding like The Fall or something, actually genuinely DIY, but it's a good song anyway, hard to mess up too much I think.
Thanks for listening.

barty do this one.


And as a tangent, do this pub rock classic

Prefer your version to the original tbh. Reminds me of this,

Really wow... I prefer the original, I dunno why he put that loop on the start.

 

[Leo]

Yes indeed. I was gonna mention it but thought it might put you off further.
You know Sexual Harrassment - I Need A Freak I reckon when you hear it. Though it is a weird name for a band, not sure what they were thinking. Great tune though.

own it!

 

[IdleRich]

It's a brilliant tune isn't it. Did you check out my version of If I Gave You A Party? I like that song a lot too.... but beyond that I listened to their album once and found it pretty annoying.

 

[Leo]

this was pretty cool in 2002, a bit I dunno now.

 

[IdleRich]

Actually it's not as bad as I remember it (Exercise Your Ass Off I mean).

 

[IdleRich]

Do you know this one @Leo ? I just love the lyric "A man lives, a man dies, it's gotta be the greatest story ever told".

That one used to get played at a lot of house parties I went to. Also 'Echoes', 'Heaven' and 'First Gear'.

Maurice Fulton did a remix of that

Can't find it online though. There's this version on sc but I think that's someone's edit of it. Close enough I spose

The Rapture - House of Jealous Dubbers - Maurice Fulton Remix (2020Soundsystem edit) Unreleased

I found this while clearing out some old CDs it is rare as it is one of very few 2020Soundsystem edits. It cuts up Maurice Fulton's mix of House of Jealous Lovers by The Rapture. Fernando plays a ne

And that one.

 

[IdleRich]

This one I love



Maybe I said this before but one time GF was dj-ing at this event she organised for International Women´s Day and she played that and this woman came up and said "I played the drums on that" - she is a cool woman, does art now, she got involved with the event next year, came down and DJ-d, she had loads of great stories about squatting with the Sex Pistols and booting Serge Gainsbourg up the arse for some sexist comment and so on.

 

[IdleRich]

Ooh my genitals...

 

[IdleRich]

When I think about it, most of the best post-punk is definitely female vocal.
