Q-Tip - The Rennaisance (Liking this better but still not overwhelmed by it)
Stevie Wonder - Talking Book
Janelle Monae - The Audition
Calle 13 - Los de Atras Vienen Conmigo
Platinum Pied Pipers - Triple P

"Let the Beat Build" multiple times
The Meters
A Tribute to Jack Johnson, Miles Davis

Zomby - Where Were U in '92? (I think this is pretty great even though I was about 8 years old in 1992 - I'm sure others may find it a pointless nostalgia fest).

Earth - The Bees Made Honey... (basically my go-to record when I don't know what to listen to)

Sunn0))) - Flight of the Behemoth (picked this up for £5 in the Zavvi clearout. Still think BlackOne is their definitive record)

Why? - Alopecia (my gf got this up the other day. Really don't understand the appeal)

Future Islands - Wave Like Home (I really like this. Indie-Electro-Pop with Springsteen-ish vocals.)

Robert Forster, The Evangelist (pretty good, as per usual, but nothing to really write home about. i miss Grant...)

Marlo Thomas and Friends, Free to Be...You and Me (great fun!)

Still really enjoying the DJ Sprinkles album.

Checking out Mountain People - which I prefer to a lot of the deep house revivalism.

Peverelist I wished I'd found before - Infinity is Now is classic.

Rollmottle's remix of Radiohead's Reckoner is great. I wish that guy released more stuff!

Bytetone's Death of a Typographer - best glitch album in a long time.

Finally like everyone else, Merriweather Post Pavillion.

Jóhann Jóhannsson, Fordlandia

Miranda Lee Richards - Light of X
Telefon Tel Aviv - Immolate Yourself
Fever Ray - S|T
Alela Diane - To Be Still
The Whitest Boy Alive - Rules

I'm digging the new Andrew Bird and Animal Collective... it makes me cautiously optimistic that 2009 will provide me with material that I can actually enjoy.

I would like to emphasize the word 'cautiously'.

The Whitest Boy Alive - Rules

This is awful.

new Animal Collective = is that all there is? BFD!

Buzzcocks, Antony & the Johnsons, Roy Orbison, Rokia Traore, Toto Guillaume, The Twins, Mary Hampton, Cappo, Scorzayzee, Lambchop, Mott The Hoople, Planet Patrol, Franz Ferdinand, that Roska FACT mix... and, inevitably, Animal Collective.

Computer World, Kraftwerk

I'm just now listening to that Neon Neon album from last year. "I Told Her on Alderaan" would've been on several mix cds last year if I'd bothered to hear it in a timely manner.

The Blues and The Abstract Truth
Sing Me A Song of Songmy
Who's Next
Stormwatch
One World

12 Songs, Randy Newman

I have totally been in a Randy Newman mood lately. (Guys, guess what, the 70's are back, with all its old sorrows wrapped in a kerchief tied 'round a stick). 12 Songs is the only one I haven't been in the mood for again lately. Maybe I've heard it too much. Maybe I prefer the first album, with those songs that late at night can lay you under the floorboards.

Anyway.

Lindsey Buckingham - Gift of Screws
Jeff Buckley - Live at Sin-e (double-disc version)
Sam Phillips - Don't Do Anything
Dodos - Visiter
Callers - Fortune
Max Richter - The Blue Notebooks
Jolie Holland - The Living and the Dead
Wavves

Unknown Session, Duke Ellington
The Raincoats

Thanks for repping, Hurting and Kenan!

I sort of forgot I had a copy of On the Rise here, then idly looked at a big stack of LPs in the living room, so:
"Just Be Good to Me," The SOS Band

Just as I was starting to think "Greatest record ever?" about that nine-minute track, I found this 12-inch:
"Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick"/"There Ain't Half Been Some Clever Bastards"

Then (I was discouraged by you!):
"Wheel Me Out"/"Hello Operator . . . I Mean Dad . . . I Mean Police . . . I Can't Even Remember Who I Am"

This makes me wanna take a drive, but the car I "have access to" isn't equipped with a record player:
Little Feat
"I haven't made sense in so long, I almost quit tryin'."

I sure don't owe that record anything; I've gotta so much pleasure out of it and I think I paid a buck for it in Philly one time.

*gotten

I also listened to "Red Guitar" by Loudon Wainwright III, a song no one ever talks about, before this.

Junior Boys, Begone Dull Care
Henryk Gorecki/Kronos Quartet, String Quartet No. 3 - ...songs are sung
Andy Blake's mix for BeatsInSpace
The Cramps - Off The Bone

OK, just Side One of the Little Feat. If that's punk rock of one sort, this is it of another:
Of Human Feelings

lol, ur durnk?

Yes! How'd you know?

Chuck Berry, Johnny B. Goode: His Complete '50s Chess Recordings (Chuck's da man! bought cheap!)

xp

lucky guess.

Wow, I've got so much Chuck, but not that box. That's sweet, would fit well in my condition.

Heh, Ronald Shannon Jackson ends one track on the Ornette with about a bar of "Funk #49."

Side Two of Another Green World. If I stay awake long enough, then there'll be a Blood & Fire sampler CD called Dubwise & Otherwise 2. Otherwise, 'night.

'mornin (afternoon, actually).

noon, indeed!

Chuck Berry's song The Promised Land has had me in the grip of its wondrous purity for most of two weeks. Voice, lyrics and the marvellous sections of guitar.

Also, finally set up my stereo after a long absence wandering the land - first song Deer Park by The Fall. The full sparseness of the drums, guitar and bass near made me weep salt tears of joy.

Thoroughly enjoying making my way through the end of year lists put up here - got a big soft spot for MIA although L'il Wayne leaves me cold.

Popidiot, Antenna of Love (a rather good synth-pop of '09, unashamedly fascinated with 80s synth pop, too)
lack of Eoins, Echo Group (a somewhat weirldy-mixed, jerksome indie guitarism with much-muffled vocals ... didn't sound all that great on first listen. will check again, probably)
Dakota Suite w/David Darling, The End of Trying (oh the bittersweet melancholy of f being an (indie auterur and) FC Everton fan! no, seriously. (or so the pess releasewould have it) a very lovely record, actually)
Takeo Toyama, Etudes
Ritornell, Golden Solitude (two young Austrian multi'strumentalists; mixed by Patrick Pulsinger)

Uh, and also the recording of an hour-long radio drama that'll be premiered on my "home station" in a week's time, Maailma parim küla (The Best Village in the World) -- has mucho fine wackiness plot wise: starts with an old communist dying (somewhere in Finlad, hmh); before huffing his last puff, the commie makes his son promise that he'll build a church to commemorate his father - the Church of Death; lots of lunacy follows (some of it chillingly credible), with shady donor-organ-trafficking "surgeons", eager military mentalists, a rather hapless church organist tinkling the finale of Beethoven's 9th now and again, and a Bear (uh-uh) roaming the woods and eating all sorts of suspicious officials and clueless tourists galore.
The musical passages, from Mozart's Dies Irae to "ethno-pop" colourings to Ladysmith Black Mambazo, are pretty cool too.

Digging through a bunch of old CD-R books filled with bootlegs. Today, it's been:

*Television 7/2/78, Portland, OR (like, the best thing ever)
*Neil Young/Crazy Horse, Birmingham 1987 (weird era, still some great stuff)
*Richard Thompson - Doom & Gloom from the Tomb (comp of random stuff stretching from Fairport to Linda and beyond -- awesome version of Sandy Denny's "John the Gun")
*Buffalo Springfield - The Missing Herd (stuff left off of the infamous box set, mostly live)
*Pink Floyd BBC Sessions 69-71 (another weird era, but mostly good psych jamz)

show of hands, anyone interested in a blog featuring this kinda stuff? I've been considering it ...

i would be!

yeah, maybe i'll do it, i've got a ton of this crap. i just need a name ....

Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit

How's this measure up against Isbell's contributions to DBT? Samples sound kinda bland.

That Isbell record is my favorite of the year so far. It goes without saying that the 400 Unit is not as good a backing band as the Truckers. And he's not going to win any points for edginess. But he's a great songwriter and if you are inclined to like what he does, you'll love this one.

Sittin at the ghetto thinkin bout
All my homies passed away (uuunnnggghhh!)
Candy painted cadillacs and triple gold
That's how me and my boys rolled
How could it be?
Somebody took my boy from me
My best friend's gone
And I'm so all alone
I really miss my homies
Even though they gone away
I know you in a better place
And I hope to see ya soon someday

I used to hang with my boy even slang with my boy
Used to bang with my boy, goddam I miss my boy
We started out youngstas in the park throwin birds
In your hearse, damn it's sad to see my nigga in the dirt
The game got me workin, got me perkin, never jerkin
Still blowin dolja fo ya cause I know you up there workin
Ya little baby's cool and ya baby's mama straight
But today's a sad day to see the t-shirt with ya face
From the cradle to the grave, from the streets we used to fall
In the park you liked to ball, put yo name upon the wall
In the projects you's a legend on the street you was a star
But it's sad to see my homeboy ridin in that black car
A lotta soldiers done died, a lotta mothers done cried
You done took yo piece of the pie but you was too young to retire
Why soldiers ride for yo name leave it vain
Some Gs never change, damn they killed you for some change
Smile for my homie Kevin Miller my boy Randall
The ghetto persons that lost they loved ones to these ghetto scandals

I really miss my homies
(It just remind me, more and more of you, dawg)

I know you in a better place

And I hope to see ya soon someday

We used to grip on the grain and flip them candy toys
But I'd give up all that bullshit if I could get back my boy
Off in the club smokin weed til 3, hollerin at the hoes
Spendin $4000 on me on gators and clothes
When I turned to rap, he had to chase the game
Nigga told me, "C, leave that dope, cause rappin is yo thang"
I ain't gone even lie, some nights I ride and cry
Wonderin why the real niggas always the ones to die
So I just smoke my weed and try to clear my mind
I wish that I had the power to turn back the hands of time
I wonder if there's a heaven up there for real Gs
For all the niggas in the game that be sellin keys
I keep my memories, try to keep my head stromg
But baby it's hard to be strong, when yo main homie gone

[Sons, Mo B. O'dell]
Even though you gone away
(Even though you gone, you ain't never gon be forgotten)
I know you in a better place
(Cause as long as I'm here
You gon live through me and other TRU playas)
I really miss my homies
Even though they gone away
I know you in a better place
And I hope to see ya soon someday

I'm just sittin here dazed thinkin bout all the times we had
Thinkin the past, some was good and some was bad
Remember Dante?
It was a group of us, just a group of five
Now three dead, one in jail, it seem right now I'm the only one alive
To all my soldiers before me, may ya'll rest in peace
When He took three, took my soul, just the bodies
He at the crossroads guide us out to the rest of me
Wishin I could rewind time like demos
Me and you gettin girls, writin down numbers like memos
Makin million dollar bets, makin all our money stretch like limos
Even though I smile, it's sad, but they say gangstas can't cry
But if I close my eyes and visualize me together
Then I suddenly wanna smile
To see you laid down when it's yo time, when your time was up
You never seen your child, but he's here to remind us
Even though you was wrong, I never could belive that that was true
You was with me forever, you could check my rest in peace tattoos
See me and C and P forever gon be ridin and thuggin
Rest in peace to all the ones that didn't make it
And rest in peace to my brother
We gon miss you
http://images.lowriderarte.com/drawings/0701_lrap_06_z+drawings+notorious_big.jpg
(I love these fools)
I know you in a better place
(Every time I get on my knees)
And I hope to see ya soon someday
(I pray for you, I'm glad you in a better place
I hope I see ya soon, ain't no more killin
Ain't no more fights, and ain't no more tears)

wow.

Even the 30 minute ambient nighttime thing at the end?

Ocean of Sound (again and again and again! best segues on a comp ever? could be.)

bunch of largely unidentifiable 1970s Lebanese 7"s I just got from the car boot. bongos and strings!

re Isbell and the 400 Unit: the best things are the 6/8 country-soul ballads; and there is a good bit of sorta experimental, noise stuff on the record, so it comes across like program music in a way. nothing perhaps as direct as say the Truckers' "Self Destructive Zones," and Isbell is def a muso--thoughtful, schooled, etc. but the record has its satisfactions and he sings it better than he did the '07 Sirens of the Ditch. I prefer the new one.

I can't seem to get over John Cale's Caribbean Sunset album. I kinda doubt he'll make me that happy over an album's length again.
Also been digging into Red Lorry Yellow Lorry's "Paint Your Wagon" album, which I haven't heard in eons and sounds better than I remember it.

Song I'm obsessed with right now is an early Danse Society track "Danse/Move".

Tom Zé - Estudando o Samba

^This is the first Tom Zé I've heard, and I really, really like it.

That EP by The Devil's Blood that came out last year. Also their single. Also their demo tape. I think I'm excited to hear their album when it comes out...

(Sleep Tundra sho'nuff is more goth than moi! I think I also have that Red Lorry Yellow Lorry LP somewhere, but I did give up on it sometime in the past century, probably. Tried and tried, several times, all futile. I just don't get that shit :(

Night Control's 'Death Control'. An insanely catchy, charmingly scrappy record. Think Ariel Pink and John Maus as the allround vibe, but it really is all over the place. Heartfelt songs with brilliant hooks (akin as much to The Shadows as to Jesus & Mary Chain and everything in between).

i think people press play's cover of 'kaleidoscope world' is my fave so far.

tarwater is horrible. american analog set have made a nice version of 'anything could happen'.

how's the version of "pink frost"? and how's "not given lightly"?

wax cylinders
78s
the new super furries and lily allen

both pink frost versions are dismal, 'not given lightly' is a clone of the original but he doesn't sing as well. 'you forget' is really good, sin fang bous too which is strange since i don't much like the original.

It would be impossible for a cover of Pink Frost to top the original, I think, so probably a bit silly to try. It occurs to me now that House of Love gave it a go, though.

i love that 'girl with the loneliest eyes' single. drill covered 'pink frost' sometime in the mid 90s before flying nun went completely out of their mind though drill were pretty horrible actually and their cover was awful too. listening to candy claws now, a local band, sounds like seabear/sin fang bous, weird.

(n.1) I have an 8-year old daughter, so there's no avoiding this song. And I kind of like it.

No, why? the one with the monkey on the cover?

xxpost

i never usually post on these threads but my girlfriend and i have been having a heavy listening session today for the first time in ages and i wanted to list it for prosperity:

syd barrett - the madcap laughs
scott walker - climate of hunter
brian eno - the shutov assembly (this is the shiznit)
recoil - hydrology/1+2
kraftwerk - electric cafe
ryuichi sakamoto - illustrated musical encyclopaedia
the dead texan - s/t
machinefabriek - dauw (still!)

kind of two things going on w/ me. country/folk/country-rock on one hand. hank williams, johnny cash, charlie poole, a few old-time country/folk collections like h. smith's 'anthology' that i checked out from the library i work, gram parsons.

hip-hop on the other i guess. mostly wu-tang & ghostface/raekwon solo albums. plus 'new amerykah' like crazy

kinda got back into a few dylan albums too - nashville skyline in particular. oh and 'self-portrait' is actually great!

Bill Magill - have you listened to UFO's No Heavy Petting lately?

No, why? the one with the monkey on the cover? ― Bill Magill

Yeah, that's the one.
Jus' wondering how you like (or not) No Heavy Petting compared to Force It.

Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid (never heard *all* of this before; wot a very lovely record)
Mingus Oh Yeah (yeah, wadda man:)

Nigeria Special: Modern Highlife, Afro-Sounds & Nigerian Blues
Salif Keita - Amen

Mokira-Persona
Broadcast-Tender Buttons
Emeralds-What Happened
Klangwart-Stadtlandfluss

"Yeah, that's the one.
Jus' wondering how you like (or not) No Heavy Petting compared to Force It."

Er, sorry about the seriously late response. I think Force It is UFO's best studio album, Strangers in the Night being the best overall. After they got their sea legs with Shenker on Phenomenon (another good one), they put it all together on Force It. I like "Petting" but I think Force It is the best.

last week or so:
Charles Mingus, Mingus Dynasty
Depeche Mode, Sounds of the Universe
Fever Ray, Fever Ray
Royksopp, Junior
Death, ...For the whole world to see
Fanga, Natural Juice
The Black Dog, Further Vexations

xxpost: Love that Klangwart album!

Klangwart-Stadtlandfluss

is this 'kosmische' electronics like their earlier stuff? i love their LPs.

tones on tail - everything!
jericho jones - junkies, monkeys & donkeys
ghedalia tazartes - une eclipse total de soleil
black tambourine - complete recordings
king crimson - red
eskaton - 4 visions
coil - scatology
keith hudson - brand
peter walker - long lost tapes 1970
bullwackies all stars - black world
anstam - eps
dubsteppy stuff (boxcutter, mahanee, zomby, cloaks, vex'd)
ra.h - time 12"

re: Klangwart. Don't know their earlier stuff but I'd say yeah, pretty kosmische electronics. Have you seen them live? Apparently it's a live piece that has continually changed over the years (and probably still is) that they've recorded in the studio for this album.

^ yep it's great, and continues the approach of the previous lps with a bit more going on. it sounds better--mastering is beautiful! that koln/olpe lp seemed to suffer from tinny / thin mastering, imho.

who's heard that new Emeralds 2lp?

Pastels/ Tenniscoats, Two Sunsets

How is this^?
<3 Tenniscoats btw. And the Pastels too i guess.

Mr Fingers - Introduction
Peter Van Hoesen RA

This year has been all about Billy Joe Shaver, the Sonic's Rendezvous Band box set, playing the Royal Trux song "Juicy, Juicy, Juice" on repeat, LATE '60S WILSON PICKETT, and Grant Green because the record store down the street doesn't stock any of the other jazz guitar guys I've been looking for; not even Charlie Christian. Dude. Oh and um, the Mnemonists and Biota a lot, and Smegma. And the Maths Balance Volumes Lower Forms LP though maybe I shouldn't count that cuz of personal bias and also I had to leave that in America. Plus a few dozen other fleeting obsessions.

Distinct lack of Happy Flowers in my life TBH..!

Grouper - Dragging a...

How is her recorded output? I saw her live and was kinda bored but thought there was potentially enough there for me to "get it" if I had an lp.

Well... I haven't seen her live (ask me again in 3 weeks after ATP NY 2009), but her recorded stuff is really really great. From what I understand she's gotten progressively more "song" oriented as the albums have gone by -- I'm not the best person to ask as I haven't followed her career in any sort of linear fashion, though. All I know is that most of her stuff sounds almost ghostly, barely there, like a whisper through the clouds. And reverbed waaaaay the fuck out.

I'd say last year's album, the Dead Deer one, is as good a place to start as any. Speaking from experience, of course.

Pastels/ Tenniscoats, Two Sunsets

How is this^?
<3 Tenniscoats btw. And the Pastels too i guess.

I like Two Sunsets mighty fine. Don't know actually what to compare it to - haven't heard much else by Tenniscoats, except for a couple of tracks.

Lately:
Jobriath (some of it sounds pretty good :)
B'Dylan, Together Through Life (Eh, doesn't quite, er, grab me)
Smõuk, Tere tulemast koju ('stonian stoner rock, b'sically; half-good intermittently)
Nancy Elizabeth, Wrought Iron (Wheew... )

rudi arapahoe, only just found this, i am slow, so so beautiful, like an modern update of 'home is in your head'?

Nancy Elizabeth

as in Cunliffe? i have an EP of hers which i really dig, must check this out

^The same person, apparently.

finally tracked down and bought a copy of buckingham/nicks. what a relief after years of listening to a 128kbps rip!
terrific sleeve to hold and look at, too. and a lyricsheet!
happy man, me.
