Album Archive on Phantom 105.2

catch--22 · 06-12-2006 1:33am #1

The Album Archive is on every Sat night at 9pm. This week we're taking a look at the Manic Street Preachers "Everything Must Go" to co-inside with it's 10 year anniversary (yeah we didn't think it was that old either!)

Any suggestions for future weeks or indeed any comments on previous shows?

catch--22 · 11-12-2006 1:07pm

Album Archive this week is Elliott Smiths' "Either/Or"

Sat 16th Dec 9pm on Phantom 105.2

Have you done Doolittle by the Pixies yet?

QM79 · 11-12-2006 2:42pm

When the new Pumpkins album comes out next year you could do Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness as part of the Archive. It is probably the best double album EVER.

Smurfpiss · 11-12-2006 4:24pm

I second all those suggestions.
Would also put forward the KidA/Amnesiac sessions, lots of really great bsides and live tracks with it.
Also Whipping boy - Heartworm (if that hasnt been done already)
And maybe Sufjan Stevens - Illinois (seeing as he released the outtakes album as well)
Other artists i would suggest:
Neil Young
Doves

I think Heartworm might have been done in a previous life....but I don't see why we shouldn't update old shows for the new station!

As a big Sufjan fan I'll have a look at that one! In fact I might pencil it in for the following week!

All other suggestions have been noted too! Thanks for the input people!

Dont be at yourself · 13-12-2006 1:44pm

My fav album of all time

Mine too. And Catch-22 my favourite book. GET OUT OF MY HEAD.

catch--22 · 17-12-2006 2:36pm

Next week on the Album Archive is PJ Harvey's "Dry".

damonjewel · 17-12-2006 2:45pm

some of the suggestions here are fine but I just think, the manics/Pumpkins/pixies/Pj Harvey are still relatively recent. How about unearthing some long forgotten nuggets like

The Stooges FunHouse, CAN Tago Mago, Neu! (1st Album), The Velvet Underground loaded, King Crimson Red and so on

catch--22 · 17-12-2006 3:56pm

Sounds good.....will look at them for the week after!

Rockiemalt · 17-12-2006 5:10pm

maybe some arcade fire with the whole buzz about their new album

mlam · 17-12-2006 7:35pm

How bout Jane's Addiction? Maybe C'mon feel The Lemonheads too cause they're back on the scene- it was 1 of my fave albums when I was much younger. I'd also be curious to hear a show bout The Mary Jane's album Sham

catch--22 · 17-12-2006 9:29pm

*starts writing out a list*

-Lithium- · 17-12-2006 9:38pm

Lots of really great suggestions above (particularly the Radiohead ones

). I've heard two of the programmes, REM's "UP" and The Yeah Yeah Yeahs album, really enjoyed them. Obviously lots of work put into the programme, it's just a pity they are broadcasted on Saturday nights, it's hard to catch them at that time. Hope you'll repeat them some time.

JC 2K3 · 17-12-2006 11:55pm

Oh man, Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth would be epic...

Creamy Goodness · 18-12-2006 12:02am

As a big Sufjan fan I'll have a look at that one! In fact I might pencil it in for the following week!

also sufjan has a christmas release aswell. it's 5 ep's recorded over 5 years - one a year - and it contains both orignal work and christmas favourites.

damonjewel · 18-12-2006 9:26pm

Marquee moon by Television is super dooper too

catch--22 · 24-12-2006 3:22pm

Next week we are looking at "Waiting for the Sun" by the Doors.

Eddie Specs · 27-12-2006 3:03am

screamadelica and the stone roses would be good ones

catch--22 · 27-12-2006 9:46pm

We covered Screamadelica! a few weeks back......it was one of the firsrt ones we did, so sorry you missed it....but I'm sure we'll have a look at the Stone Roses soon!

Eddie Specs · 28-12-2006 1:11pm

Well, at least you're doing the good ones

. I suppose you've done The Bends too.

few suggestions: Fear Factory-demanufacture, ash-1977,acdc-high voltage ,jeff buckley-grace,bob dylan-the freewheelin' Bob Dylan, rage against the machine, space-spiders,the presidents of the united states of america, snow patrol-songs for polarbears

catch--22 · 28-12-2006 6:43pm

The Bends hasn't been covered yet.....and some other good ones there!

Eddie Specs · 29-12-2006 9:20pm

aye you gotta do The Bends...it's one of the best albums of all time...surely?

catch--22 · 29-12-2006 10:25pm

True....don't worry it will be done!

I was thinking of a Thin Lizzy release for the week after as it's the 21st anniversary and all.......any suggestions?

JC 2K3 · 30-12-2006 11:41am

If you're doing a Radiohead album it's gotta be Kid A.

Eddie Specs · 30-12-2006 4:16pm

some would argue ok computer was the breakthrough...although Kid A was one of those albums that Radiohead fans at the time were most certainly put off by- and then eventually came round to. it was quite a transition, but even at the time I loved idioteque, really driving original track.

JC 2K3 · 30-12-2006 4:26pm

Yeah I used to not like the later Radiohead albums, then I just listened to Kid A one day and its greatness hit me.

OK Computer is brilliant, but to do it on the Album Archive would be kinda contrived, it's topped loads of lists and is the most famous Radiohead album. I've gone off The Bends recently, I love some of the tracks, but tbh, I much prefer Kid A these days.

Eddie Specs · 30-12-2006 4:50pm

The Bends is still one of those albums I can listen to all the way through without flicking, it's seemless- I remember hearing the intro's echoed sound effects (planet telex) and just being hypnotized

Filthy Jeff · 04-01-2007 7:29pm

You've probably done Grace and Dark Side of the Moon before but I'd love to hear them.

Failing that how about the Battle of Los Angeles by RATM?

Miguel_Sanchez · 05-01-2007 12:13am

Pavement - 'Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain'
Nick Cave - 'The Boatman's Call' or 'Murder Ballads'
Tindersticks - 'Curtains'

All worth looking into.

catch--22 · 07-01-2007 9:33pm

Please keep those suggestions coming in!! Some really good ones there......but for now.....

Next week....Radioheads' "Kid A"

JC 2K3 · 07-01-2007 10:02pm

Yes!!!

Wrong album I'm afraid....there were no singles from Kid A and as such no b-sides!

But we might get a chance to to cover Amnesiac at some stage!

Smurfpiss · 07-01-2007 11:54pm

ah i know it was amnesiac, but like i say they were all recorded at the same time so seeing as you do outtakes and bsdies...teccccchnnnicalllyyyyyyyyy.
ah go on

i look forward to it anyhoo. wait..ah crap illl be going to the phantasm thingy. might get a wee bit of it on the bus.

catch--22 · 08-01-2007 2:23pm

Well, since you're not gonna even bother listening!! Tsk!

We'll see what we can do!

-Lithium- · 11-01-2007 12:24am

It'd be great if you'd take both Kid A and Amnesiac together in the same week because the reality of the situation is that there won't be enough weeks to cover all the good albums out there, and, as Smurfpiss pointed out, they both came from the same recording session.

And to reiterate a point I made earlier in this thread, it's a pity the programme is aired on a Saturday night. Obviously a lot of time goes into making it, it deserves a better spot. Or a least to be repeated at some stage.

catch--22 · 11-01-2007 4:29pm

I feel quite confident that we could come back to Amnesiac again at a later stage....with the a new album on the way we might even get a few weeks put aside for a some of radioheads releases when that comes out!

I think there would be too much in Kid A to have to share it with another album....an hour sounds like a lot of time...but in reality thats only about 10 tracks and a small about of speech! But I do understand what you're saying about the two albums.

I will however be looking into getting a repeat slot for the show to suit people who miss the Sat night slot!

-Lithium- · 11-01-2007 8:34pm

A few weeks dedicated to Radiohead would be fantastic

-Lithium- · 28-01-2007 9:30pm

Yes, please, please can we have a repeat slot? I haven't managed to catch anything since way before Christmas

catch--22 · 28-01-2007 9:41pm

Still working on it! Should have an update soon!

In the time being....next week (3/2/2007) "Are Your Experienced?" The Jimi Hendrix Experience!

Spazgazz · 01-02-2007 7:53pm

How about doing Tom Waits "blue valentine"?

catch--22 · 01-02-2007 10:28pm

Good choice..."Closing Time" would be up there too I think!

catch--22 · 05-02-2007 10:38am

Next week (10/02/2007) on the Album Archive we'll be looking at The Postal Service "Give Up" from 2003.

Rockiemalt · 05-02-2007 11:09am

WOOOOOO! Someone pointed out to me that the independant directory ad on the station sounds a bit postal servicey
