Thanks Anthony Kiedis

This record is genius. Love Jason Noble. Always saw him at ear-x-tacy.

I love this album so much

Love the work you put into research. this is the first of your videos i've seen, i'm half way though and i've immediately subbed

awesome review. i checked ICE out from the library a year ago on a whim and i'm so happy to see it catching fire

Top 10 album in my book, and they are up against Slayer.

Just won my first bid for Bedrock! His vinyls seem really rare, yet I’m sure this guy has an endless discography

Slint gave birth to this genre

Too many pronouns used: him, him, him.... Who are you talking about

Loved the cows for a long time. Now I love the heroine shieks....Shannon's new band after the cows. Cows great sense of humor the heroine shieks maybe a little more serious. Great Great bands.

I've just stumbled upon your review. Fantastic. Probably the most mature opinion of Ballard I have come across on You Tube. Thank you.

Eres de juarez?? Love this review,,just bought a copy on amazon,,bendeciones desde Los Angeles California,,🤍🙏

César. Great job! Do it in spanish! Vengo de MDS

I heard his name is pronounced buh-lard. At least according to Ellison in Dangerous Visions.

the bass is fantastic throughout

Wow you nailed literally everything!

I am pretty sure Roland wrote Shivers.

I wonder if you also like Robert Aickman?

Great review..I've never really gotten into the 'sci fi' stuff ..I always thought he was a socialogical writer first and foremost. Gotta say even though my mind is quite disgusted with what I read ..I'm drawn back again and again

Big Disch fan here. I discovered him in my youth first with Fun With Your New Head. I was hooked! Loved all your comments...wanted to make a few recommends: His stories collections are all worth pickin g up but especially find GETTING INTO DEATH, and White Fang Goes Dingo. Then his "horror" quadrology is acerbic and rollicking. "The M.D a Horror Story" is the one Id recommend.

I love Treasure but in my opinion Victorialand just shades it as being their best.

Very well articulated review.

Melt is the best peter gabriel album

I appreciate your Melvin’s collection in the background your a man with good taste

This review is hot ! 😊

Shellac, Birthday Party and Jesus Lizard bass tones are pretty much Traynor TS 25/50’s, Fender Bassmans and Travis Bean aluminum neck instruments. Edit: found out the oscilloscope diagram is glow in the dark.

My favorite sci-fi book of all time. So different. I'll never forget "Chronopolis" and other brilliant stories from it.

Thank you for some modern recognition of this masterful artist. I began to read Ballard in the 1970's and, at first, I found his writing very hard to ''get my head around''. All I knew was that I was mesmerised by his themes, which approached my favourite genre from a completely different angle than most of the other authors I'd found so far. ''Crash'' sealed it for me and, if you have yet to read it, I envy you. What I always enjoyed about any work by Ballard, whether it be short story or novel, is that I felt he was being honest. I've read about him and watched interviews with him and the last adjective I would use would be ''pretentious''. James Ballard came across as a man who believed in his writing, albeit with a (sometimes) wry sense of humour. His passing was a great loss to literature, I feel, but hopefully his worldview and any warnings he felt the need to express will stay around as long as they are discussed. His characters weren't frightened of change, they embraced it.

Yeah this book turned me off soooooo much. I’m like half way through the second part and I’m seriously thinking of DNFing it.

I got this collection upon reading a review in The Atlantic, and it blew my mind. He is master of the short story.

The single funniest title of any Ballard story is Why I Want to Fuck Ronald Reagan. I cannot recall what the actual story was about, but it's a title you're not likely to forget. My first exposure to Ballard came from the Cronenberg adaptation of Crash. I bought the book immediately after seeing the film and read half of it while sitting in the food court of the local mall. Concrete Island is among the few novels I read in a single sitting .

I love Wire 154!

have been listening to foetus for about 2 years now and it took me that long to get to this one. Anxiety attack is one of Thirwell's best tracks

We need this stuff in spanish yo

Cesar, llegue a tu canal por el episodio de Mike Patton en músicos de sillón (el cual me gusto un chingo) y ya me avente la mayoría de tus videos de vinyl roulette, están excelentes, apoyo la noción de que grabes alguno en español para el publico mexicano, por cierto se agradecen los subtítulos en tus videos ya subidos, saludos y sigue creando contenido, aquí un seguidor nuevo apoyandote

Hola César has la ruleta pero en español por favor ❤❤❤

I hated it. I really truly loathe this book.

vengo por músicos de sillón, gracias carnal, nuevo sub.

Hola Cesar, gran video. Haz la ruleta del vinil de nuevo:D

awesome

EXCELLENT choice.

Cool album cover. I wish I knew the story behind it.

Great video mate! Definitely not a well-worn topic. Always admired Thirwell's creativity, acerbic humor, genuine pathos, and after seeing him perform a couple times, his showmanship. Have most of his voluminous output on vinyl, but when did Hise come out, doesnt ring a bell

Literally my favorite Metal album and my favorite punk album all combined into one religious experience

I also bought this back in the day on the strength Albini production and the cool art!

The first vinyl record I EVER bought, a water damaged single lp, missing all the inserts, for one dollar in 2002. I was 16. I still have that same copy for sentimental reasons, and it still sounds good with all its pops and hisses. I did also purchase the 3-lp version also because I like the live version of Tommy. Heaven and hell also SLAYS.

I think dummy generally has catchier songs, and self-titled is so much darker and more sinister. (With the exception of Biscuit, one of the darkest songs I've heard in YEARS.) I love them both equally

Sclucky enough to see Wire live at CBGB in 1977 right after Pink Flag. Pink Flag has a sophisticated sound with a minilistic sound keeping the solos out and giving the listener only what is relevant to the song. Wire goes forward adding experience to put out Chairs Missing then 154. The best first 3 LP's put out by any band . Everyday's a Saturday!

I as someone who's born in a Hindu vegetarian family and so is a vegetarian all my life reading this book's first 40 pages was like yo what the fuck is going on
