Breakage, "So Mars." It's from 2005 and I first heard it several months ago, but last week I started thinking it was great and having to listen to it all the time. I know nothing about drum and bass.

Agalloch

― Bidfurd (Bidfurd), Wednesday, 4 October 2006 07:08 (nineteen years ago)

in terms of NEW music, i.e not new records by artists with whom i am familliar:
-ferron, actually! wonderful songwriting. like a jane siberry who isn't falling overherself to tell you all about herself. patient and measured.
-sergio mendes and brasil '66 - herb alpert's gimmick was to record popular songs through a tijuana trumpet filter and sergio mendes uses a bossa-nova piano filter to the same end.

earlier this summer, my biggest new discovery was mark kozelek/red house painters/sun kil moon.

also, that link to 60 versions of "what the world needs now is love" didn't work for me, but i found 16 versions myself on soulseek. i'm really enjoying them!

― derrick (derrick), Wednesday, 4 October 2006 07:50 (nineteen years ago)

I was completely ready to be all clever-clever and say this was a bunch of imposters, and not The Shend's pre Very Things lot. Oh how wrong I was. Marvellous news!

― Clumsy Colin in ACTION BIKER (coach_mcguirk), Wednesday, 4 October 2006 22:17 (nineteen years ago)

I bought a wonderful 7" single by a London based band called Man Aubergine. A bit Beefhearty, but with astonishingly lush Old-Timey harmonies all over it. Great stuff.

― Clumsy Colin in ACTION BIKER (coach_mcguirk), Wednesday, 4 October 2006 22:22 (nineteen years ago)

Peggy Lee - Black Coffee

― poortheatre (poortheatre), Wednesday, 4 October 2006 22:52 (nineteen years ago)

I keep WFMU on pretty much all day while I work and hear great new stuff all the time, and usually forget to write down who it was. But a band called Maggoted last night on Bill Zurat's show was really good.

Agalloch

― yours fondly, harshaw. (mrgn), Thursday, 5 October 2006 04:52 (nineteen years ago)

Is Agalloch seriously the new hip thing now? (I say this as a recent convert! Now I want to hear the earlier stuff.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 5 October 2006 04:59 (nineteen years ago)

even I've heard Agalloch, Ned(trying to like metal vol. 32, and the less said the better)

One o' us.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 5 October 2006 05:32 (nineteen years ago)

I did dig up an old Scott Seward recommendation (to Geir) for an Opeth release and really liked it. Damnation! Not metal at all, but I'll count it as progress. so...more 'metal' Geir would like plz.

old but new to me:

The last couple of Mice Parade records. I'd heard them when they came out but they just keep growing on me.

Haruomi Hosono's solo LPs, pre-YMO. They just keep getting better.

Gérard Grisey and the whole spectralist crew.

newer: mix sets off dubstepforum.com and barefiles.com.

― Brakhage (brakhage), Thursday, 5 October 2006 15:42 (nineteen years ago)

Dukes of Stratosphear - Chocolate yaadda yadda [2nd best album ever?]

Lee Hazlewood - Cowboy In Sweden

― poortheatre (poortheatre), Thursday, 5 October 2006 23:13 (nineteen years ago)

Charlotte Gainsbourg 5:55

I kinda want to sleep with this album.

― Jay Vee's Return (Manon_69), Friday, 6 October 2006 00:10 (nineteen years ago)

Passionate.

Oh, that new Kid Congo Powers album is v. nice. I have no idea why I mention this, of course.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 6 October 2006 00:12 (nineteen years ago)

Philosophy And Underwear, Ned?

Yes. (errm) I hear it's one of the best albums in recent years and every household should own a copy. *slithers away*

― Jay Vee's Return (Manon_69), Friday, 6 October 2006 00:17 (nineteen years ago)

Oh yus yus yus. Why, there's this keyboard player on there...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 6 October 2006 00:20 (nineteen years ago)

Seriously - glad you like and I wish I was touring w/ Kid at the moment but rent must be paid and (my own) music must be made. But hopefully will be on the next album as well!

― Jay Vee's Return (Manon_69), Friday, 6 October 2006 00:21 (nineteen years ago)

Lee Hazlewood - Cowboy In Sweden
actually, THIS is the best album ever.
-- poortheatre (gah24...), October 6th, 2006.

Yes, I love it too.

― zeus (zeus), Friday, 6 October 2006 10:23 (nineteen years ago)

The new Om/Current 93 10" called "Inerrant Rays of Infallible Sun (Blackship Shrinebuilder)"
Overblown hilarious titles are key. I've liked Om for awhile and love Sleep, but had not heard Current 93 before (surprisingly good clear vocals!)

My Cat is an Alien- "Painting Petals on Planet Ghost"
Delicate, beautiful, and somewhat unnerving.

Hey, Lee is Free, Harvey Milk is one of my favorites!
Has anyone heard Galbraith? I've gots to get me mitts on it...

― Andrea Magenheimer (Andi Headphones), Friday, 6 October 2006 18:30 (nineteen years ago)

(1957) Chris Kenner - Sick and Tired (Imperial)

Re: Lee Hazlewood - Cowboy In Sweden

Reminds me that Mark Pickeral used to have the best picture of Lee in a top hat and tails flanked by a bevy of topless (and much taller) Swedish blondes a la Hendrix - Electric Ladyland.

I've always coveted it.
