your 11 favourite songs of the moment, fuck.

i wanna hear that spectre capleton remix.

Can't beat that

“Untitled two minute noise loop recorded on 4-track”
it’s enchanting but not finished -- 4 tracks is not enough. There was a bird in my house this morning.. I played this and it flew out

J-Kwon - “Tipsy”
I haven’t actually listened to it in days (no I haven’t been leaving the house), though I sing it every time I’m drunk, which is almost all the time. I really need a job.

Balinese Gamelan and Ketj - “Golden Rain (Hudjan Mas)”
It’s really gorgeous and evocative. And then like 5 minutes in this really low bass percussion part comes in and makes me want to fuck shit up.

Don Covay - “Mercy, Mercy”
The simplest song with the best performance never fails

The Rapture - “I Need Your Love”
See titular sentiment

Yoko Ono - “Mind Train”
When you are drinking with your friends you can say “Hey who wants to listen to Yoko Ono?” and they will say yes for the novelty value. You can’t do this with Can, and this song is in fact much better than Can

Kevin Drumm - “Turning Point”
Strangely pleasant and reassuring

Beyonce - “Naughty Girl”
It seems completely aimless and it’s best that way

Al Green - “Have You Been Making Out OK?”
It’s in my mom’s car and I listen to it every time I borrow it. I sing along every time it gets to the “I wanna know can you make it on your ooooooooowwwn” part even though I’m nowhere close to in tune.. very satisfying

Leonard Cohen - “So Long, Marianne”
The way he strums his guitar you can tell he wants to smash it. I find this noble.

Lynyrd Skynyrd- Gimme Back My Bullets
This has a great guitar riff. The droning piano line in the background is kind of reminds me of the overdubs John Cale put on the first Stooges record.

Atomic Rooster- Death Walks Behind You
Why wasn't this a big FM rock radio song? The production is great for 1970, especially compared to Sabbath or some of their contemporaries.

Deep Purple- Mandrake Root
The version I am enjoying is a crazy 30 minute jam from 1970. Blackmore and Jon Lord go into spazmotic fits and the song goes all over the place. There is a spacey part in the middle where I think Jon Lord pulls out a hoover or something. I like it.

Black Sabbath- Wishing Well
Martin Birch flat out knows what he is doing in the studio. I love the sound of the bass and drums on this one.

Thin Lizzy- Don't Believe a Word
I put this onto a compilation I made and have given it a few listens, it is quite catchy.

Free- Don't Say You Love Me
This song is intense and quiet. Free was a really good band.

Iron Maiden- Sanctuary
It doesn't really sound like Maiden, but it is.

Yes- Roundabout
The arrangement on this one is great, I like all of the little overdubs that are placed throughout the record. It is very well crafted.

The Yardbirds- Ha Ha Said the Clown
This song cracks me up. It is one of the last Yardbird singles, but I swear it sounds like a Dukes of the Stratosphear outtake. Keith Relf even sounds like Andy Partridge or is it the other way around?

ZZ Top- Brown Sugar
I have no good reason why this wasn't a hit other than the Stones had a song with the same title come out. ZZ's song is much, much funkier and Billy Gibbons plays some ruthless guitar on this one. I can't believe I never heard this until a few months ago, but I had never heard the first ZZ Top album.

Funkadelic- I Bet You
This song is great.

I guess that makes eleven.

Anthony, I'm interested in what capacity "Punk Rock Love" is a favorite ?? It's never been something I listen to so much as hear and say "aw cute." Do you ever actually sit and listen to it on repeat or anything?

earlnash's list makes me want to listen to things I would never listen to!!

It cracks me the hell up! Plus since that list was an inverted mirror image of my previous list moodwise (see up thread) it was the one that came to mind my the Mag Fields that fit the bill.

and 12, because I can: Honeymoon Suite, "Wave Babies"

I still have to hear that new Mission of Burma record. It isn't going out of print any time soon, so I will probably wait and cherry pick a used copy.

Never heard of House of Freaks, seems like it might be something I might like. There are so many bands.

Don Covay is one of those singers that seems like it would be interesting music, but I haven't come across any of his records. I'm due to get obsessed again by r&b/soul sometime soon.

I am very streaky when it comes to my listening obsessions. I get into one era or sound for a few weeks on end until it loses my interest and then I jump to another sound. I'll listen to jazz fusion then get into punk/post punk then listen to idm/detroit techno then listen to well you get the point. For some reason, I don't tend to mix it up much.

Ah man...House of Freaks got no respect in their day. Cakewalk is such a great, understated album with big huge hooks and a strident melancholy twang (kept feisty by Johnny Hott's hyperkinetic odds'n'ends percussion...I tell ya, the man coulda been in Cop Shoot Cop) that is still breaks my heart a decade a change later. They sorta got stuck in the limbo between "college rock' and the alt.country boom that puts dubious folks like Ryan Adams on a fuckin' pedastal. I love that album, goddammit.

I would best describe them as the middle ground between Joy Division and Naked Raygun...The live album (Live at the Entry/Dead at the Exit) is prob. the one I see around the most...apparently their local label - Ruthless Records (not that Ruthless!) was the local label that put their stuff out....Well worth checking out if you like 80s midwest post-punk...

I've heard good things about their two studio albums...you could try record stores in Minneapolis, there tends to be alot more of their stuff around here used for cheap...try these two they might be able to help you track it down:

Can't wait to hear all the new album

6. Dallas Crane - No Through Road

7. Alternative TV - Life

8. Jimmy Shand and his Band - Bonnie Strathyre (with Stuart Gordon singing)
From Jimmy Shand's Party, which is in my opinion the best tradition Scottish music record to invite comely young ladies over for a jig and to drink scotch. Or gin.

3. Bjork - Bachelorette
Recently bought Homogenic and feel as though she was trying to rip off Aphex a bit too much. Still this song is very powerful.

4. Depeche Mode - Just Can't Get Enough
This has been plaguing me for weeks.

5. Richard Cheese - Insane In The Brain
Lounge cover of the Cypress Hill classic - swear words intact!

6. Lee Perry & Max Romeo - Disco Devil
Thanks whoever recommended this on the dub thread the other day (nate?). The version I downloaded sounds awfully mid-ranged to me compared to "Croaking Lizard" and "Chase the Devil"- is this normal?

7. Snuff - Take Me Home (Piss Off)
I hate punk music in general - especially 90s punk music but lately I've had a real craving for horrible ska tunes. Snuff is probably one of the more respectable one of the lot mind, which leads me on to..

8. The Pogues - Sally Maclenanne
I like the Pogues but equally they piss me off. This is my favourite one by them though.

9. Katatonia - Sweet Nurse
Rediscovered Katatonia and I'm really enjoying them.

10. Pavement - Strings Of Nashville

11. Ural 13 Diktators - Techno Is Dead
In 2001 I wrote a track called Clean Me. I had definitely never heard anything by U13D but the resemblance to this track is frighteningly uncanny even down to the choice of samples.

2. Fleetwood Mac - "That's All for Everyone"
Gorgeous dream-pop, sounding a little bit like the Beach Boys' "Til I Die".

3. Tom Ze - "Ma"
Discordant bossa-styled track from mid-70s Ze. Awesome horns.

4. Felix da Housecat - "Nina"
Nostalgic pop from Devin Dazzle. Very simple and pretty.

5. Joyce - "Feminina"
Brazilan singer-songwriter has done two versions of this. This one is from the 90s (original 1980), and is sparser. Acoustic guitar, percussion and lots of her vocals.

6. Tavinho Moura - "Cade O Boi"
More Brazilian stuff. Kind of folky, 6/8, with a cool harmonium-like instrument that makes it seem like a tropical carnival hymn.

7. Franco Leprino - "Integrati...Disintegrati"
Italian electronic/folk/krautrock-esque composer from 70s. This is like gorgeous sex-on-the-beach ambient folk.

8. Led Zeppelin - "Carouselambra"
10-minute prog-styled tune from In Through the Out Door. A lot of fans think this song is lame, but I love it (especially all the keyboards).

9. Free Design - "Bubbles"
If James Bond needs to go grocery shopping, he's got this in the discman.

10. L. Voag - "Bedroom"
Short, celestial track from his 1979 record The Way Out. Kind of reminds me of Animal Collective, in its childlike fancy. Dreamy.

11. Faust/Dalek - "T-Electronique"
Last track on their collab album, and the one most like a normal hip hop song. Totally dig the keyboard line (that Dalek got from original Faust instrumental and slowed way down), and the bass is just too much.

is this currently available on CD? great LP. I only have a crap illegal cassette copy and that's in storage

i would gladly and willingly attempt to re-enact this scene with you sometime

lil jon feat eminem - crunk juice (40 oz remix) (if i'm gonna have to take my shady all gothed-up, then you might as well bring the doom by the crunkload) (don't get TOO excited btw, it's a short, fuzzy mixtape thing)

lfo - blown (on these mediocre earphones that i use for pc listening the bass hurts my ears, but if you close your eyes and think about the snares, it's worth it)

main source - live at the barbeque (i only noticed that gentle background ambient swell in my car the other day. nas always sounds good over functionalist beats)

elephant man - can't stop we now (inspirational broken banjo string stabbing heroics)

noise factory - breakage 6 (really? really!)

sonic youth - i love golden blue (it's all about that guitar figure in the chorus)(plus i'm such a sucker for evocatively named songs and shiny blue things are always real pretty, like this)

lil' kim - i came back for you (i downloaded this when sterling listed it on that fave rap beats ever thread not too long ago - and look, he reps for it again above! i love how kanye loves the grain of kim's voice. plus "when god made adam, he shoulda made kim!" is a great lyric. oh, and that gorgeous outro).

1. "Kidney Bingos" by Wire - Been on a bit of a Wire kick in the past few days. The friends of mine who appreciate Wire all seem to hate this track for some reason, but I'm strangely compelled by it. Has an odd plastic sound to it. Dunno, but I love it.

2. "Lucy" by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - I glom onto The Good Son every Spring since 1990 for some reason.

3. "Granadaland" by the Wedding Present - One of my favorite tracks off Bizarro. Electric strum frenzy and great punctuated quotes. "STOP TRYING TO TELL ME HOW YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL!"

4. "Dragnet" by the Vibrators - Off one of those somewhat embarassing Punk & Disorderly compilations from the early 80s. Not sure if its on any of their albums, but it's just a great, chugging track that kicks a big bag of ass.

5. "Burn" by Deep Purple - My Deep Puple kick from early in the week lingers on. Far and away David Coverdale's best ever recorded moment. Kiss basically ripped this song off for "I Stole Your Love" (if that sort've meaningless trivia means anything to you). The Purps fuckin' ROCK.

6. "Special One" by Ultra Vivid Scene - Like The Good Son, this album (Joy 1967-1990) is one I come back to every Spring. The whole record has a bit of a samey sound, but it works in its favor to my ears -- sort've a candy-coated continuity. I always considered Kurt Ralske (the one-man-band that is UVS) to be the Gallant to Trent Reznor's Goofus. Both are diminutive little studio musos with big ideas, but where Trent goes for the needlessly wrought, Kurt has no problem going all soft and mellow. In any event, this perfect little summery slice of dysfunctional romance (augmented by Kim Deal's angellic vocals on the chorus) is my fave track on the album. Like you care.

7. "Hannah" by House of Love - Opening track to their second eponymous album (the one with the butterfly on the cover) and it gets me up and outta my seat every damn time. "THIS IS NOT MY SKY!" When the guitars break through the whispery, encroaching fog like shiny locomotive, its practically the greatest sequence of plucked notes to ever grace my ears. No fuckin' clue what the song's about, but oof does I loves it. And seguing right into "Shine On"? FORGET about it. This rocks and if you don't like it, you should catch a chest cold tomorrow and spend the rest of your Spring indoors watching Ditech.Com commercials.

8. "All Mine" by the Cure - Wobbly recorded live fragment originally on the Curiosities cassette (widely available on a host of bootlegs). It used to be at the exact opposite spot after "Charlotte Sometimes" on the other side of the cassette (Concert), and I used to listen to them back to back to back to back ad nauseum. After playing "Charlotte Sometimes" (am I the only person who finds the live version on Concert to be superior to the studio version?), for my oblivious little offspring who shares its title, I had a hankerin' to hear "All Mine" again. So I've been playing it. Again and again and again and again. There've been other versions (I believe the song became "Forever", if I'm not totally wrong), but this particular rendition (just Robert, his guitar and a snare drum) is so haunting and mournful that it still gives me the chills seventeen years after first hearing it.

9. "3Am Incident" by Cop Shoot Cop - Prompted by that thread about how awful the OST to "The Crow" is (which morphed into a discussion of 90's OST and compilations), this lone track by the late, great Cop MotherShootFucking Cop (not available on any of their albums) turned out to be their swan song. After Tod [A]shley left the band, the rest of the boys stripped his vocals and re-recorded it as "Pushing Overload" on the very hard to get ahold of Red Expendables (CSC with Tod [A]) album. Stick with the original. "THIS CELL IS SO CO-CO-COLD!!!!"

10. "For Dear Life" by Prong - Prompted by that Prong thread last night, I was severly chastised by my better half for playing this opening track off of Beg to Differ at inadvertantly child-waking volumes (she didn't wake up, by the way, but she might've had it kept playing). Someone on that thread mentioned that no one really loved Prong, but fuck that. I love this track, and I loved this band (for a while at least). If you can listen to this song without grimacing manically and balling up your fist, you're probably a member of the Janis Ian fanclub.

11. "There is a Light That Never Goes Out" by the Smiths - The wife's been playing it constantly after I played her the new Morrissey single.

Ma$e // Welcome Back

He's just a bad boy gone clean. Oh, and these rap cats all got their style from him.

The Streets // Blinded By The Light

Sad fact: Since hearing this, I've been desperately searching for a club in the city that still does trance. No luck yet.

Stars // Time Can Never Kill The True Heart

Not sure how this rates so high, as I certainly don't recall listening to it all that much. I do love it though, especially the creepy vocals and the second ending.

Donna Summer // I Feel Love

That definitive disco thread's fault.

Ghostface ft. Jackie-O // Tooken Back

I adore this whole album (and the lost tracks), but this is the one that keeps getting me sidetracked. Best narrative in hip hop since like, Slick Rick.

Dolly Parton // Wildflowers

Let the mockery commence, and a pre-emptive fuck you.

X-Quisite // Sassy Thang

This has the best hook I've heard this year.

Emma Bunton // Crickets Sing For Annamaria

More fun than something really fun, surely.

New Order // Ceremony (Live in Barcelona)

I love anything Joy Division live (especially Disorder). Studio Joy Division was great and dark and epic, but live Joy Division, even without Curtis, sounds just incredible. Hook and Morris have got to be the best rhythm section in the history of music.

The Avalanches // Extra Kings

More and more I think this is the best thing released this millenium.

The Books // Getting The Done Job

I never really got into this album ever, even when everyone told me I'd love it. Now that I have, every time I listen I come up with a new favorite track. This is the current favorite, only because I never imagined a banjo could sound so funky.

Ellen Allien - "Secret"
Missy Elliott - "Let Me Fix My Weave"
Bob Dylan - "Obviously 5 Believers"
Steely Dan - "Only a Fool Would Say That"
N.E.R.D. - "Backseat Love"
Jason Forrest - "10 Amazing Years"
Magnetic Fields - "I Don't Believe You"
A.R. Kane - "Miles Apart"
Fiery Furnaces - "We Got Back the Plague (Single Version)"
Giorgio Moroder - "Looky Looky"
Rolling Stones - "Dead Flowers"

Ohmigod, that song is so much better without the video.

and what i keep crying over:
Maria McKee - If Love is a Red Dress

Murcof – ‘Una’

Ghostface – ‘Ghostface’

First Choice – ‘Smarty Pants’
First Choice – ‘Yes Maybe No’
One of the most overlooked of the 70s Philly vocal groups. Their first six or seven singles were all terrific. I love the horn stabs on “Smarty Pants” in particular. There was a bit of a tailing off after that and when they switched labels, although “Yes Maybe No” is gorgeous, swinging soul.

Young MC – ‘Bust A Move’
Picked up the “Ice-T presents Westside” compilation second hand at the weekend. For some reason a lot of the West Coast hip hop stuff passed me by first time (if it wasn’t a massive crossover hit in UK). Lots of classic tracks here, but this one jumps out particularly on first listen.

The Pioneers – ‘Catch The Beat’
Rosalyn Sweet & The Paragons – ‘Blackbirds Singing’
Both from the wonderful Sweet Harmony compilation on Trojan from last year. The second song here is a cover of the Paul McCartney song off The White Album which most people seem to think is insufferable, tho’ I quite like it. This arrangement shows off the song’s full potential.

Lizzy Mercier Descloux – ‘Mission Impossible’
Kinetic take on the Lalo Schifrin theme tune.

T.I . – ‘I Still Luv You’
His parents that is. Aw, bless.

Usher feat. Lil Joneedstofallunderatruk & Ludicris – ‘Yeah’

What is this, vahid>

Oh man, I can't wait to be able to buy new music again.

What is this, vahid

um, it's a white label put out on arcola, warp's little sister dance label. it basically chops up the hook over a very dubby house beat. there's not much more to it than a sped-up prince squealing "UPTOWN!!! where i want to be-be-be-be-be..." over a cut-up guitar bit (it comes in at 4 minutes on the original track) and an echoey 4/4 kick. it's not a radical glitch deconstruction or anything, it's just a very very classy re-edit. pretty much strips the original to the core while keeping it lush. i love love love it. if you search slsk for "prince" or "uptown" with "arcola" you'll find it no problem.

They should've called it "Camille - 'Uptown' (Brothomstates remix)".

SEXTAL

Not eleven, I know. Guess I got a bit carried away towards the end.

Nina Simone, "Save Me"
- When I first heard this I thought she was a dude, and then she seemed somehwere in between a dude and a lady and then -- being as it's quite funky -- I thought she was some sort of alien and this was what they danceed to on other planets. It would make sense, wouldn't it

Belle & Sebastian, "Chalet Lines"
- My brother's girlfriend and I have been tring to convince him of B&S's worth for almost a year now, and today he finally conceded quietly that he "actually really likes them." He's obsessed with Leonard Cohen, so I put on Fold Your Hands... and told him, "Dude, this is like their darkest album." Haha. I still don't have the new single :(

Maurice McIntyre, "Ensemble Love: Life Force"
- As an atheist I don't often relate to the "spiritual" side of free jazz... but it can be really fucking good.

D'Angelo, "One Mo Gin"/Marvin Gaye, "Let's Get It On"
- It was like 5am, really trashed, some dudes are packing up everything they own cos the landlord just told them they have to get out a day early. On the floor there is a pile of pillows/blankets (which we're lying on), a stack of CDs and a stereo. The only thing in the pile that appeals to me as the soundtrack to our sausage party is notoriously seductive mood music. I had never really connected with the Gaye song before, always finding it corny. (the secret is the bass and the way the vocals interact with it.) I probably would have exploded if I'd not picked one of the most homoerotic moments in my life to do so.

Ornette Coleman, "Civilization Day"
- There's this part where the drums drop out and it's nothing but bass and trumpet soloing -- I think it's one of the most energetic moments in recorded music. At the mention of Ornette's name, this is what pops into my head (even though he's not playing ?).

Jay-Z, "Jigga What, Jigga Who (Unplugged)"
- Tim's groove is even more incredible when the Roots get ahold of it. They need to work with a good producer more than anyone.

The Fiery Furnaces, "Quay Cur"
- Last night I got really high.

Bogdan Razcynski, "My Love I Love (track 2)"
- Even though it seems like the tracklist was determined on shuffle, this is one of the most effective "wake up the albums starting after a sleepy ambient track" songs ever.

Lightning Bolt, "Assassins"
- This is sort of the same thing, only they did it on purpose. Also, it kinda hurts for a second, when it's starting.

Simon & Garfunkel, "The Only Living Boy in New York"
- When he sings "Hey, I've got nothing to do today but smile" and you can feel how sad he is, that's what we call good singersongwritering.

1. Mmmnn - Grandadbob
2. Trip II the Moon (part III) - Acen
3. Ring My Bell - Anita Ward
4. Aerodynamic - Daft Punk
5. Half Man Half Machine - Goldie Lookin Chain
6. Triptico (Kruder and Dorfmeister remix) - Gotan Project
7. Pit Stop (Take Me Home) - Lovage
8. Half Man Half Machine - Goldie Lookin Chain
9. Last Trumpet - Lyrics Born
10. You Are My Angel - Horace Andy
11. One Step Forward - Max Romeo

Talking In Your Sleep - The Romantics
Lower Eastside - Delinquent Habits
Mad (Mantronik vs Geek) - Kurtis Mantronik
Jealous Kids - Mu
Ante Up (Explicit Version) - MOP
Flashback - Oxia

dizzee rascal - various things from 'showtime' (still digesting... the title track's a standout for me, though!)

big pun - 100%

animal collective - bat you'll fly (damn hivemind hypemachine - fuck it if i don't like this. and "winter's love" too, phooey. 'baby day' sucks though.)

big pun - we don't care (pun's arrival on the track is straight jawdropping)

az - fan mail (it was a toss up between this and the track where he talks about kissing dolphins)

lil' wayne - snitch (dk's right, he does sound like jay!)

cassius ft. ghostface - thrilla (unless i missed something, we underhyped this, what with the [inferior] streets remix and all...)

basement jaxx ft yellowman - love is the answer (actually not all that great and kind of boringly trad for fake jaxx dancehall except for the bit that sound like those cage compositions for sheet metal, but i wanted to mention its existence somewhere)

daft punk - digital love (it was time for a track without a rapper, plus i've had this in my head ALL day, it was pretty much the only
good thing about it)(my day, that is)

i can't think of anything else, but i'm cheating with the dizzee entry anyway really...

can't think of a last song. lately i'm feeling the need for singer-songwritery stuff, but the problem is i hate just about everything made by singer-songwriters, so there's a bit of a void. what i'm also feeling lately is bad - for pretty much losing touch with local music. i need to start listening to the radio more again. i heard a new single from 'pitch black afro' that was really pretty good, so maybe he's not a one-single novelty, though that would be fine too. yes, we have a hiphop guy called "pitch black afro" here.

I'll give it a go off the top of my head. I have only been listening to soul and house!
