what are y'all listening to?

That sounds intriguing, got a tracklist?

Steve Hauschildt - Tragedy & Geometry
Jerry Garcia & Mickey Hart - 11/28/73 (kind of proto-New Age-ish raga space jams)
Charalambides - Exile
Holy Other - With U

That sounds intriguing, got a tracklist?

It's mainly songs I liked from 2010 and some older stuff I got into in 2010:

Alice Cooper - I'm Eighteen
Magic Kids - Summer
Nellie McKay - Adios
Hall & Oates - Your Imagination
The BPA (Feat. David Byrne & Dizzee Rascal) - Toe Jam
Vampire Weekend - Diplomat's Son
Dungen - something off of Skit I Allt, I think "Marken Lag Stilla"?
Midlake - Small Mountain
Tallest Man on Earth - Love Is All
Mose Allison - I'm Alright
Tanya Morgan - Don't U Holla
Electronic - Get the Message
Heavenly - Skipjack
Neil Young - Walk On

Looks solid, I was just curious about which tracks by each you had on there.

danny brown - xxx
steve reid, kieran hebdan, mats gustafsson - live at the south bank (damn!)
mobb deep - black cocaine EP (new and good!)
deep purple - made in japan (fucking woah...speed king on this kills)

M83

why because "OK Pal" and "Midnight City" are fantastic

yeah that reid/hebdan/gustaffson thing is pretty major. new to me, anyway.
tweedyphobes will get in a tizzy but the new wilco is growing on me! think that "one sunday morning" might be one of the best things they've ever done? kind of a nice companion to o'rourke's last one.

yeah that reid/hebdan/gustaffson thing is pretty major. new to me, anyway.

^never heard of any of these guys tbh, but it looked interesting and was on the front page of spotify today...this shit is fucking great, like free jazz/krautrock mix kinda?

other reid stuff worth checking out?

oooh mats gustaffson + krautrock wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut?! must hear.

mats gustafson + krautrock + steve reid (who played with (among others) sun ra, ornette, james brown, fela kuti ... )

yes pls

Hebden is Four Tet.

mats gustafson can blow like a monster. have never liked four tet all that much but definitely interested in hearing that record

actually don't know anything about four tet, though i guess i've heard the name. he's the "electronic" element of this collab i take it?

Wow, this Hebden/Reid/Gustafsson is great!

yeah i don't know four tet either - they are like in the vein of caribou or stuff like that? matmos?

anyway, this isn't really like electronic pop in any way, the electronics are mostly textural, like on Lulu

the cover is rather appealing too

http://thehut.pantherssl.com/productimg/0/130/130/57/10567857-1318851663-104445.jpg

he did a nice job on Sunburned Hand Of The Man's studio album, though it's more refined than I expected.

("He"=Hebden)

listening to two people that are either fucking or jumping on a trampoline

is that like a new chillgaze band or ...?

ok i totally love the airplane takeoff/vacuum cleaner bit at the end of "lyman place"

212 by Azealia Banks, 2-10 times a day for the last week. Video of the year, too.

^ been meaning to get that one. I have volume 5 (studio sessions 1968) which is amazing.

other reid stuff worth checking out?

His album Nova (from the 70s) is awesome!

been watching a lot of videos lately. downloadable youtubes, huzzah! like

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHq9OEj4SvQ

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSAoEf1Ib58&ob=av3n

http://vimeo.com/27260633?width=1280&height=720

^^^ dunno if vimeo's embed like youtubes do but that video got me to give dubstep a second chance

also lcd soundsystem's several awesome videos (many in 720) totally got me back into listening to them, even though they're over. this one's kinda perdy and sad, like the song itself

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwoLACv_srQ

and finally:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoEKWtgJQAU&ob=av2e

and the rest of "watch the throne", which is fucking classic

Someone tell me whether Dan Fogelberg's worth checking out. I know a couple of the obvious hits, but having sampled a couple of the early eighties ones I'm wondering if he isn't one of those quietly weird Al Stewart types.

moonbop OTM, especially if you're into spiritual hat jazz. Rhythmatism is also good but start with Nova: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpBUbWCq5Fc

Reid and Hebden recorded a couple of albums before Reid died last year, though I only know the Steve Reid Ensemble album that Soul Jazz put out, which is also pretty good.

funky u bet

bobby f'in caldwell!

ohh, just added to youtube today, apparently: dreamy eye candyish HD videos for the entire most recent bon iver album (which i also have been listening to a fair bit)

http://www.youtube.com/MusicTuesday#p/c/E3CD9195B24C7485

downloading now for later perusal, but i could see this getting repeated plays round these parts.

LOVE YOU SANDBOX GUYS!

Anyway today:
Four Levels of Existence - s/t
Hawkwind - In Search of Space
Jacks - Vacant World
Mainliner - Mellow Out

D.R.I.
Chuck Berry
Chapterhouse

That Armagddon record is pretty cool! I picked up a copy for like $2 in an antique mall outside of Saugatuck, MI a few years ago. One of my favorite finds.

Anyway, I'm catching up on some way old Beats in Space podcasts. Listening to the James Murphy one from earlier this summer.

been listening to a slightly horrible vinyl rip of this comp
http://www.vinyl-record.co.uk/Pictures/E/ElectricMuse.jpg
goes nicely with electric eden

Primordial Undermind, You and Me and the Continuum
the Cosmic Dead album

It's a cold, clear day so it is perfect weather for The Good Earth by The Feelies.

Finally hearing the new Kate Bush, but I'm thinking the title track should be "50 Adjectives for Snow", amirite?

Sandy Denny's album "Sandy" is perfect. Tyler, I'd love to hear what stuff you got really into as a result of Electric Eden once you're done.
2011-wise: BNJMN's "Black Square" is really good.

I keep returning to Condensate by The Original 7ven (tafka The Time). The first impression was mixed but it gets better with each listen. Really like the last five tracks, which is good because the middle of the record is rough.

Picked up these records at an antique store in Hanover,PA!

50 Words For Snow hasn't left my stereo in my jeep, but I always skip the title song.

The onset of winter is Shirley Collins season in my house.

as a result of electric eden, i've been digging into mr. fox, the watersons, ewan macoll, vaughan williams, cob! off the top of my head. also some heavy revisiting of steeleye span. there's a pretty great spotify playlist for the book here: http://open.spotify.com/user/seamusr/playlist/3FOZ1HH7EJ4F5TXmffpWIJ

that book takes like 100 years to read, doesn't it? i'm still not done, but i made it to the 80s

I gave up tbh.
Been doing that a lot with books lately :/

yeah, it does take a while, i've just been reading it before bed. but i really love it, don't want it to end! maybe i will once i hit the 80s. i'm on glastonbury right now, which is more fun than i thought it would be. really need to see this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JsMWXi5K68

I really enjoyed the early chapters more anyway because it was stuff I didn't already know and I have enjoyed Bax and Vaughan Williams a lot since then.

Which reminds me, if any of you like the louder side of Current 93 you should check out Anatomy of Habit. I have enjoyed their s/t quite a bit this year.

indie guitar bands with a wobbly-voiced singers are not the sort of thing i normally listen to, but over the last couple of months i've slowly become obsessed with Fukurouzu from Tokyo.
This song is called Mashumaro which translates as ... Marshmallow!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yunzN3aZyo4

never really stopped listening to it tbh buy hey

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qh-od12FUfE

(should be "the rrabbitt" - the guy who posted it sucks at entering basic metadata)

BURN

Slave, Showtime
Slave, Just a Touch of Love
You, Electric Days
Cave, "On the Rise"

...now am slowly working my way thru Primordial Undermind's Beings of Game P-U

trying to remember new discoveries and favorites for this year and put on alex de grassi, turning back, which i bought in perfect condition for a dollar.

how could it not be good with this cover?!

Been listening to the Dead. A lot.

Cooper was just in town, there is a Bitchin Bajas European tour in the works for next year as well as another music+visuals thing at the local indie theater that they are gonna do in Quadrophonic sound! The same guys that put out Water Wrackets are putting out the collaboration with Olivia Wyatt some time next year in an lp+dvd package.

do they do events like that in chicago? i'm not really involved with the "let's play at this makeshift space" types of shows here -- maybe they do this all the time, i have no idea. euro tour sounds a little more exciting though, i'd imagine.

It seems like they do things like that every once in a while, but I'm really not sure. Cave is going on an Australian tour next year, as well. That is pretty exciting. Not quite as exciting as going to Japan with Thurston Moore (which is what another ex-band mate of mine, from a different band, is doing next year). I have to admit, I'm glad that my former bandmates, who actually possess some talent and skill, are moving on to bigger and better things in that realm.

...while I become a music librarian, something I am much better prepared for.

who's going to Japan? that's awesome.

Keith W00d, he's in the band. It's fucking wild seeing him on like Letterman and Fallon with Thurston Moore.

But anyway, right now I'm listening to the excellent Disco Zombies anthology "Drums Over London."

Hey, this is why I respect Eric Bachmann and his Cuban sandwich truck. I'm not sure if he's still doing that or not, but regardless there's no shame in working for a living.

Oh certainly! I am glad that I can live vicariously through their rocker exploits, I've never been cut out for life on the road. I really don't envy the pro-musician lifestyle...much.

And the thought that I will have my degree at the end of 2012 fills me with joyful anticipation. There's nothing I'd rather do than sit in a room full of records all day.

do u need an intern

[anyway, listening to this numero boddie recording co. box set thing my wife got me for xmas. cool stuff! the gospel stuff is kind of disconcertingly sexy.]

ha, i bought that for my husband for christmas, and you are not him! i've been enjoying that too. esp. proud of cleveland when i heard it tbh.

it's the ultimate husband box set.
it is fun, i've only listened to the first disc.
kind of mystified/amazed by numero group -- such tlc for these ultra-obscure labels/artists. how do they do it? do they have a millionaire bankrolling the whole thing?

did you get the LPs? i think i liked the 2nd or 3rd one best. it all kind of blurs together after a while. the song about getting high on jesus is pretty great. there was an awesome track called "don't make me kill you" too. i haven't sat down to read/listen very intently -- the books are super crammed with info.

as for the business model, i always just figured that they have high standards, are savvy w/r/t marketing to the people who will actually purchase their product, and aren't particularly cheap.

Yerba Brava - Cumbia Villera

http://mindovermirrors.tumblr.com/listen

harmonium player/electronicist jaime fennelly -- i have no idea if he is already well known or not, but he was the only musician i wasn't familiar with in the ensemble thing i saw last night. and he totally ruled.

Tito Rodriguez: holy crap. (And plenty of it to listen to on Spotify.)

thx this thread for Bitchin Bajas recommendations, that is some good stuff

http://i.imgur.com/BAkO3.jpg

I've gotten on a James Brown kick and got a couple more of his CDs, specifically "In The Jungle Groove" and "Motherlode.

This track "Since You Been Good" is just mindboggingly good. Clyde Stubblefield and Bootsy just rip this thing apart. I really love the sound of this real stripped down JB to just the rhythm section and guitar. I suppose this might have been done with the intention of overdubbing the horns at a later date.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7dzEPo5UMk

Lots of stuff. Right now filling in some gaps in my Oum Kalthoum listening. "Hakam Aleina Al Hawa." Obviously really late from the electric organ in the great instrumental introduction, and now that she's started singing, yes, really late. I've never heard this one before, that I remember.

http://i44.tinypic.com/wwd6hy.jpg

Such a great comp. If I threw parties, this would be the soundtrack.

New Kinky, 2011 hip-hop mixtapes from Milwaukee and Chicago, Los Tigres del Norte, and Orchestral Manoeuveuroeors in the Dark (actually just "Fascist Groove Thang" over and over)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqswQcJ-wvE

Going well with morning waffles: Mundo Livre S/A, Novas Lendas da Etnia Toshi Babaa. Manguebeat but so much more.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OK3hQdBhfDo

Total comfort music

Shirley Collins and the Albion Country Band, No Roses (LP, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, so comforting)

and Orchestral Manoeuveuroeors in the Dark (actually just "Fascist Groove Thang" over and over)

that's heaven 17, right? or did OMD cover it?

oh crap you're right my bad

Terry Reid - Superlungs whoa yes this awesome.
