try a little ESG on for size too.

both have shoe-gazey textures, but also include very strong vocal hooks and propulsive arrangements.

For your Cohen or Low ears, go with Edith Frost - Calling Over Time album or any of her 3 EPs.

I've been meaning to get D.I Go POP too, and some of those others I'll get too.

You need some pop, A Nairn. Pop! Buy the Sugababes album, get some Motown, some Human League, Dusty Springfield!!!

and if you haven't already wore it out, Fischerspooner

Oh yeah, don't listen to Mr. Sinker (re FZ, in any event).

I need some new albums...here's what I've really been into for the last few months:

Reigning Sound - Time Bomb High School
Uncle Tupelo - Still Feel Gone
Townes Van Zandt - everything
Whiskeytown - Faithless Street
The Replacements - Tim
Big Star - everything
Drive By Truckers - everything
A lot of Stax Records stuff/southern soul in general
That Fire in my Bones raw gospel comp.
Webb Pierce - Wondering Boy comp.
Charlie Feathers - Get With It
Black Lips - Let it Bloom
Moto - Single File

Recommendations?

A lot of Stax Records stuff/southern soul in general

Got any Arthur Alexander?

I don't actually. I'll look into it.

if you like charlie feathers you might like Ronnie Self, wildass rockabilly nut

re: Alexander... there was a big gap between the time he recorded all the songs The Beatles and Rolling Stones covered in the early '60s and his more country-ish album on WB in the early '70s. And then a 20-year gap before he released another album the same year he died. All eras of his erratic career are worth hearing, but I'm kind of drawn to the WB album.

at the punk end: Johnny Thunders' L.A.M.F.
at the twang end: Johnny Burnette and the Rock and Roll Trio

the other people place
the platters
holy mountain ost
various 80s boogie/disco records
wu tang clan

anyone got any recommendations? kinda hit a wall in terms of what new things to try.

maybe Demdike Stare ?

Pharoah Sanders
Don Cherry
70s reggae/dub (Lee Perry, King Tubby, Sly&Robbie, Aggrovators, Wackies, etc etc)

All of the Wu solo albums are worth checking out...Raekwon's "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx" is essential, the sequel isn't bad either. This is all kinda obvious information, tho.

like a lot of pharoah...have some don cherry too, really good. good suggestion on the reggae/dub actually, never properly explored that beyond the obvious canonical stuff.

demdike stare will investigate, have heard them mentioned.

x-post yeah i have both those raekwon, love those.

Couple of random suggestions:

Belbury Poly - From an Ancient Star (and other Ghost Box stuff)
Roland Young - Isophonic Boogie Woogie
Georgia Anne Muldrow - Olesi: Fragments of an Earth
Dinosaur L - 24->24 Music
African Scream Contest comp on Analog Africa
Ramp - Come Into Knowledge
Rahsaan Roland Kirk - Natural Black Inventions: Root Strata
Cerrone - Supernature
Dadawah - Peace and Love

nice...not heard any of those apart from the african scream contest comp, which is brillliant.

Other People Place is so good.

If you like African Scream Contest, the two Orchestre Poly-Rhythmo releases on Analog Africa are great too.

Tuesday Wonderland by esbjorn svensson trio.
