hood - cold fire woods of western lanes

https://youtu.be/ULVp54mmRIA

how would you describe hood? theyre...a lot. they were/are a band from Leeds, formed by a set of brothers in 1990. they went on indefinite hiatus in 2005 after 6 full lengths, 20 singles, and 4 collections (including a collected box set released by Domino in 2011 which i couldnt afford at the time and definitely cannot afford now).

the band's music is kinda all over the place...its experimental lo-fi indie rock...their first lp's sound like movie soundtracks to me. i first heard them on the 1994 double lp comp "why popstars cant dance" on slumberland records (which i highly suggest this comp if youre interested in noisy
pop and dont know where to start).

anyways...this song i picked is from the "home is where it hurts" ep release in 2001...a lot of hood's songs are really sad when you understand the
lyrics, including this song, which is an accurate reflection of my disposition (and probably why i like them).

My record collection: #163: Galaxie 500 Radio Sampler
I can’t remember how this Galaxie 500 Radio Sampler came into my possession, either a fan sent it to me (if so, thanks) or I bought it on eBay - one thing I’m certain of is that I didn’t pay...

#163: Galaxie 500 Radio Sampler

I can’t remember how this Galaxie 500 Radio Sampler came into my possession, either a fan sent it to me (if so, thanks) or I bought it on eBay - one thing I’m certain of is that I didn’t pay £3.99 for it in Our Price which the sticker on the case suggests†, since it’s a promo and wouldn’t/shouldn’t be sold in a shop and, more pertinently, Our Price went out of business 5 years before Domino put this out.

My record collection: #146: Galaxie 500 - Today / Uncollected (2xCD)
Domino’s double reissues of Galaxie 500’s catalogue in 2010 were lovely, each studio album was doubled up with a more recent release and packages with nice glossy booklets each with a specially commissioned essay.

Beth Gibbons emotioneert ook volledig in The Barbican, Londen | Written in Music

Natuurlijk moet je het nooit doen, ik weet het. Maar omdat het concert van Beth Gibbons en haar geweldige band afgelopen woensdagavond in het Utrechtse TivoliVredenburg zo imponerend en ontroerend was, wilde ik haar gewoon zo snel mogelijk weer zien. Voor interviews in Manchester en Leeds en het concert van Richard Hawley in Hammersmith Apollo […]

I'm pretty sure it rains test pressings on Paris these days. After the one for #Movietone's Day and Night LP, I just received the one for their next LP, The Blossom Field Streets, which I prefer. There was a #TerryFunken test pressing in the same package.
While preparing the boxes for my move, I found the posters of their tour for Day and Night. I can't remember why I received them from #DominoRecords offices, it's too old. I have a few copies in very good condition, I will eventually offer them after my move.

Portishead's Beth Gibbons announces debut solo album 'Lives Outgrown'

"I wanted to draw away from breakbeats and snares," Beth says, "focusing on the woody fabric of timbres away from the sugary addiction of high frequencies that satisfy like sugar and salt."
