Deli Lama, you should also look for The Link Wray Rumble , from the mid-70s, on Epic I think. Never released on CD, last I checked. He assimilates Duane Allman, Van Morrison, Sly Stone, the Who, Tony Joe White etc into his very own thang indeed. Soulful and songful (and guitaristic) as hell.

Be What You Want To is pretty kickass, too. Features Jerry Garcia on pedal steel.

It's more uneven than these other albums, but yeah, "Arizona" with Garcia's levitating steel is def a keeper. "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" too. Here's the cover of the LP I was talkin bout, if it doesn't work, check rateyourmusic.com for the attempted image:

I'll shut up about this, but since similar titles come up in searches, here's the exacto LP:

that barwick song is lovely, it's from the new one? i loved sanguine &c but still haven't really digested that one

also should advertise & endorse the freddie gibbs/madlib lp, which i played a lot. idk who he is & wonder if he is the guy i saw on some unbearable pitchfork tv feat talking about getting high w/best coast, but i did not know he was making good music. & the beat is amazing, idk if there is an asian branch of the beat konducta lps but it seems like it's right there

"History Of Cumbia" compilation put together by Quantic. 2 cd's of bliss. It's fantastic.

NME "Dancin' Master" cassette (mp3s) - super fun.

Oneohtrix' "Replica" - my fave thing by him so far.

Kate Bush " 50 Words..." - play it infrequently but the first three tunes are worth it every time.

how did you get the cumbia thing already?! promo?

No - was available at other music (nyc). 2 cd set.

earlier:

universal swimsuit - i dream of floating on whales off the coast of nigeria

now:

raime - if anywhere was here he would know where we are

later:

cluster & eno

i was thinking that spz jam was the same kinda shmurka-durka-durka-do-it-wrong, durka-durka-durka-sing-my-song kinda "blues" "jam" he kicks a couple out of for each lp (ain't got time to ____ generica), so skipped forwards after hearing that it stayed that way for a coupla verses, but i like the ending way more. & it seems like he kinda gets somewhere new w/it

future shuttle
julian lynch
eli keszler
hubble

the hubble tape on nna is p good, or at least impressive

The album is not bad so far, for some kind of whimsical Brazilian hipster shit.

I'm listening to Mississippi records black metal mix tape called Satan Is Real, it's awesome.

Don't listen to much Americana, but I am enjoying the Kings Daughter's and Sons album a whole lot. Sounds like a more epic and Slint-ier version of the Palace Brothers (no surprise really - the band's made up of members of Rachel's, The For Carnation and the Shipping News). Really good stuff!

Tyler, if you read this thread, you should get in on this btw, think you'd dig it

Should add that when I say "Slint-ier" it's got that sort of lumbering tautness to it, not that it's especially noisy or metal-ish or anything.

Just had a wild weekend with Live From The Old Town School back and forth across the generations (1956 to the early 00s), with Chicago's Old Town School of Folk Music. Big Bill Broonzy, Pete Seeger (together and sep, much better than expected either way), Van Ronk, pungent as usual (rec for Beefheart vocal fans), Baez, John Hammond Jr., John Hartford (all three meh, but even they have some good effect in context), primo Dan Hicks & band (Hot Licks, Acoustic Warriors, or maybe in between?), Steve Goodman, Jon Langford, Martin Carthy ("Willie's Lady", awes), Malvina Reynolds, Odetta, Doc Watson (with Merle, I think), Oumou Sangare, John Renbourn & Jaqui McShee, Conjunto Cespedes. Mahalia Jackson,Andrew Bird, Ramblin Jack, Joaquin Diaz, Hamza El Din, Merle Travis--well, you get the drift. Great sequences and subsets, for the most part, and lots of fun, if a bit near the knuckle, as old school Brits say (mortality gets its licks in for sure, but so does the fried ice cream). A bunch I'd never heard of as well, not just the folkie pantheon.

Oh yeah, it's about 5 discs-worth I think (listening to download promo),and out Dec 6, last I heard.

capsule - WORLD OF FANTASY
capsule - Fruits Clipper
Ariel Pink - The Doldrums
Rodolfo Caesar - A Arte Dos Sons
Rod Summers - An Occluded Front At Full Moon
R.A.E.D - Straight Through (listening to this a lot actually)

I've been on a big Jim Hall kick lately and I've been listening to his work with Paul Desmond, Art Farmer and Jimmy Giuffre.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdxzU00hSGA

This is the list of artists with CDs on my desk right now: John Cale, Muddy Waters, Grateful Dead, The Melvins, Dick Dale, Bob Seger, Bobby Bland and Fu Manchu.

i am listening to a cd by a band called Bold Cabbage. it is very good!
