listening to this happy refugees re-ish coming out on acute this week
it’s great! some of it makes me think of send me a lullaby-era go-betweens. kinda kiwi pop at times too. they’re irish though.
AHHHHHHHH
to celebrate a blade #1 buzzcut this morning to remove the excess of grey hair, it felt right to dig this EBM classic out :
the cover is rather appealing too
212 by Azealia Banks, 2–10 times a day for the last week. Video of the year, too.
been watching a lot of videos lately. downloadable youtubes, huzzah! like
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
and finally:
and the rest of “watch the throne”, which is fucking classic
moonbop OTM, especially if you’re into spiritual hat jazz. Rhythmatism is also good but start with Nova:
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!
been listening to a slightly horrible vinyl rip of this comp
goes nicely with electric eden
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.
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:
okay I’m bored with that
i been doing piles of new music that I just ripped from my pop’s pile o vinyl and been particularly enthralled with reembracing Pablo Moses.
dude was so fly
link wray’s 1971 s/t LP is great—country funk gospel blues rock. best space cowboy jam I’ve heard in awhile
was frustrated when ilx was down because it limited my opportunities for constant, topical NJ adoration threadbumps:
this went round and around & seems like such a crucial new zone for her to work in
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:
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
Le Corps Mince de Francoise—Love & Nature
2011 debut from a trio of Helsinki women that has the sense of fun and energy I last felt in the CSS debut. Hopelessly obscure to nominate in the 2011 poll, but I think they’d find some fans around here:
From the track nominations list, this is surprisingly awesome:
Though never a house fan, I’ve always really liked that particular type of keyboard/synth sound.
The Original 7ven, whole album but “Sick” takes it to the cabaret
Bitchin’ Bajas—Water Wrackets
Big thanks to the league of women voters for pointing this out. Side project by Cooper Crain from CAVE. It’s great.
Thank you Matt DC for pointing this out to me:
watching stop motion nature videos is something that’s fun to do while listening to cluster
recommended btw
I’m not saying it’s the greatest song in the world, but it could have been on a Superchunk/Butterglory/Sammy/Sebadoh/etc. album or something pretty easily, and the video is very cute. Inspiring a lot of 90’s nostalgia...
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!
never really stopped listening to it tbh buy hey
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?!
this guy is a maniac!
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.
Such a great comp. If I threw parties, this would be the soundtrack.
