On The Plus Side

Lydia Lunch - HysterieFinally got my hands on this old favourite of mine which I have been without since 1991 when Georgina the Goth did a runner with it and a couple of other choice records. I got a copy on Ebay, it arrived from the US of A this morning. I've been itching to get it on all day.

Lydia Lunch - Hysterie - A sort of compilation of her early works. I have particularly missed the Teenage Jesus and the Jerks section - Raw and stabbing. It still sounds really fresh. Is it really 12 years since I heard this? Wow. Echoes of it since in Babes in Toyland and Silverfish, but this is still the daddy. Bit pissed off though, the US release doesn't have Death Valley '69 on it - the superb duet she did with Sonic Youth. Tidy all the same. Roll on Der Karibische Western - searing melancholy and rage.
