This is from http://www.matadorrecords.com/news/index.html for April 14, 2003 Dave Martin, Matador Records 1. Cobra Verde - Easy Listening (Muscle Tone) I just can't stop listening to this. Easily as good as the first CV record, Viva La Muerte and one of the best records of this year. Easy! (http://www.cobraverde.com/) 2. Deadly Snakes - Ode To Joy (In The Red) 3rd fantastic record in a row from this, once again, all Canadian line up of the Deadly Snakes. For these guys to lose a member like Greg Oblivion and not lose any ground is just about the highest praise I could give them. Essential! 3. Clone Defects - Shapes Of Venus (In The Red) Distorted: Sonically, Phsyically, Emotionally. These guys nail it. 4. Dan Melchior's Broke Revue New 12" + Unreleased stuff + the older albums too. These days anybody releasing an all covers record is gonna raise an eyebrow or two from me, but Mr. Melchior and crew come through in fine fashion on their 12", they've also been hard at work on a new record that I've heard some of and it is fantastic. 5. Subsonics A Lot To Forget (Slovenly) Straight outta the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" school Atlanta Georgia's most deranged band returns with a great new album. Over the course of the past ten years or so they've mangaed to release 5 albums of primative, Velvet Underground on speed action that is light years removed from most of the "garage rock" that people love to talk about. The Subsonics are the real deal! 6. Modey Lemon Enemy/Crows/ Six Minutes Of Blackness Dbl 7" (In The Red) - What would a top ten from me be without the Modey Lemon on it? This should hold you over until the new Modey Lemon album later in the Spring. Two new songs (that actually will pale to the album versions once you hear them) the otherwise unavailable "Six Minutes of Blackness" that is fantastic. Plus a reissue of the extremely limited first 7." All in one handy package. (http://www.themodeylemon.com/basepage.html) 7. Voi Vod - S/T CD (Chophouse) I know that a new Voi Vod album w/Jason Newsted on bass(!?!?!?) sounds as appealing as going to war or something, but this is amazingly solid and if it weren't just a bit too long I'd say it was downright great.• 8. Television - Live & Live at the Academy NYC 12-4-92 CD (Ohoo) Even with the PHD candidates in the crowd (Hey, I Love the Dead Boys, I just don't wanna talk about during a show) I had a great time. Lots of guitar weedilidge and then some. The Live CD is a CDR they were selling and it's pretty great. A bit heavy on the S/T Capitol stuff, but that had just come out so what do you expect. 9. Pere Ubu The Shape Of Things (Hearpan) Two live sets from April 7th, 1976. Lots of talking between songs (mostly from the audience.) All the hits plus a choice (pre-redundency era of course) selection of covers. 10. Thomas Brinkmann It Was Never You/Tina 12" & Mix CD (Max Ernst)• Pretty straight forward, crowd pleasing type stuff, but pretty great as well.
