I'm always getting asked to do more stuff on serious music. So now I've gone and done it. What do you think?

never heard a note, but by your description i feel somewhat thankful for that fact.

You're having fun tonight, aren't you?

why does that go to an american singles dating site?

It's a link to the old FT site, which was freakytrigger.com -- about three or so years back somehow the site name slipped away from FT and the rights ended up with some Net domain squatters who asked for an exorbitant amount for its return. So Tom relied on the co.uk variant and thus it is to this day.

god keith is such an arsehole.

I remember reading this 'back in the day'; and really gd it was, and before I started listening to him. I think tom wz describing the experience of going to see him live -- palestine is playing in glasgow round about october.

I find the collab with Pan Sonic still holds up.

I just got it and look forward to hearing it.

Can we do a S/D or maybe recommend a good place to start with Mr. Palestine?

Strumming Music was an instant <3<3<3 for all time for me. But I still have yet to investigate anything else.

Maximin (Palestine/Coulter/Mathoul, from a few years ago on Young God Records) was pretty great. New 2-CD From Etudes To Cataclysims: For the Doppio Borgato (on Sub Rosa, featuring a strange Italian-made double piano) is the best going-asleep-to record I've heard this year, high praise indeed. (Don't think I've ever heard anything else.)

Strumming Music and Four Manifestations on Six Elements are the ones to go with in my opinion. The new one on Alga Marghen that features Terry Jennings on accompanying sax looks pretty fine too, I think that's called Sharing a Sonority

"Karenina" is beautiful. Mournful falsetto with harmonium, two discs worth! Also "Schlongo!!!daLUVdrone" and "Schlingen-Blangen", both of which feature organ, are really transcendant.

I think you have to like repetition/drone to really appreciate Palestine. I'm looking forward to the new "From Etudes To Cataclysms" and the new one on Alga Marghen...

one month passes...

Yestrday I finally found a copy of Charlamagne palestine's 'Four manifestations on six elements' and I really enjoyed the whole thing, especially the cascading piano drones (?!) on the fifth track ('sliding fifths').
Any other recommendations?
