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.

Bitch Magnet, thanks to the nice reissue set from Temporary Residence. I have to say, the trend I love most in 2011 was these 3-disc reissue packages that cost less than $15 - i.e. this, Supreme Dicks.

Office of Futre Plans' self-titled debut, J Robbins new band on Dischord. I'm liking it a lot on first listen, feels like a decent summation of everything he's done to this point - some more abrasive punk-inspired stuff, some great softer pop moments. The use of a cellist on many of the tracks is actually a nice touch and works really well, eased the fears from when I initially read about that.

I'm loving the distant mechanical grind and thump of the Perc album right now. Really suits my oppressed winter mood. Not even joking - it's like the techno equivalent of Scott Walker's The Drift or something.

Heh, I was JUST reading about that Perc album on Popmatters' best electronic albums of the year, sounds intriguing actually.

"Slowly going mad in a steelworks and loving every moment" is how I tried to describe it the other day. Something very hard and yet hot - like molten lava I guess. "Wicker and Steel" is actually a very good description of the textures going on in it.

The two mixtapes here, by this Finnish jazz dude, one sort of rockabilly and pop and the other really heroine jazz sort of stuff, the latter in particular is really good.

Also in a concession to new music I like the Peaking Lights album.

impulse bought this LP yesterday and it came with a poster and a dvd of "water wrackets" which is a bit much really, but it's so pretty and i totally dig the bongos (i don't even know if they're really bongos but it def gives this song a popol vuh vibe, 100% pure catnip)
