wait, there is no july listless listener? must be the humility. humanity, humidity.

that vetiver album is a rilly good lazy summer jammmm...do i need their first album? they still have the vinyl at the record store. i think. speak now...

hell, maybe i'll just buy it.i'd probably like it.

Humble Pie - Rockin' the Fillmore

white magic - tylenol ouch! EP

bryan ferry - dylanesque
von sudenfed - tromatic reflexxions
robyn hitchcock - this is the bbc
byrds - sweetheart of the rodeo

the first vetiver record isn't bad. i would buy it if i saw a used vinyl copy. i had the cd, but sold it at some point or another. probably without getting all that many listens out of it, honestly.

listening action:
los jaivas - la ventana
LSD march - empty, rubious red
the trains going over the bridges waiting in line for 77drum (bailed on the line to go pee/drink more/eat carribean food.)

robbie basho - art of the 6 & 12 string guitar
jackie martling - what did you expect?
ivor cutler - dandruff
v/a - i don't feel at home in this world anymore (has anyone else picked this up yet?)
general smilie & papa michigan - rub-a-dub style
michael hurley - armchair boogie
music in sikin (ABC Command COMS-9002; 1 side buddhist devotional/liturgy, one side folk songs.)
blind blake - that lovin i crave: 26-30'
jakob olausson - moonlight farm
sabu - sorcery!

do you like the 2nd vetiver? i like it.

"LSD march - empty, rubious red"

i forgot i bought this. now i wanna hear it. but it's on the bus somewhere...

did you buy the jack rose album that the philly label put out? expensive.

now playing:

sonny rollins & the contemporary leaders

paul pena's tuvan throat singing tutorial

ian I ran into sh4wn from l4nded the other night, they're doing a cd retrospective of all the vinyl-only releases.

lucio battisti - anima latina (BIG thanks to jaxon for pointing this one out)
dariush dolat-shahi - electronic music, tar & sehtar (never listened to this on vinyl, but on iPod it's soundtracking everything)
walker brothers - nite flights (first 4 tracks are my favorite sequence of scott songs ever)

ghost - s/t

the sins of satan - s/t

Matmos - The Civil War

Also The Life on Earth, but not too excited by it.

milton, I got a hold of ondar's echoes of tuva cd. if you're interested I'll leonardo it. probably the best tuvan stuff I've heard, really holds together as an album. at one point he sings in a western way (okay maybe just normal asian) and it's like wtf where did that come from.

blood on the tracks

lucio battisti - anima latina (BIG thanks to jaxon for pointing this one out)

i picked up a cheap vinyl copy of what i think is his second record Emozioni this weekend in LA. it's a strange pressing w/a cover that's not online and it says it's from 85, not 70, but i think the tracklistings match up. i listened to it in the store and it didn't wow me at all, but i'm hoping the more i listen to it at home, it'll jump up and get me as an album of great songs rather than a "weirdo foriegn" album

i'm currently downloading E già from 82 which wiki says:

In 1981 Battisti broke the partnership with Mogol, switching to a more experimental, sometimes weird inspiration, based often on electronic instruments. The LPs of his "second period", starting from E già of 1982 (with lyrics by his wife), received a mixed reception from both critics and audiences.

Tripsichord
Valley of Ashes
v/a - western swing, blues, boogie and honky tonk vol 6: the 40s and 50s
higelin & areski
2nd Harmonium Album (eh.)
henry 'red' allen comp on RCA Victor Vintage Series.

jaxon, wake up Battisti thread once you've listened, I'm curious about the later stuff

xpost to ed3 would love to hear good Tuva comp

Born into a family of 11 children on February 7, 1919 in the northwestern corner of North Carolina, Spencer was introduced to old-time music early on. After the family moved across the mountains to Laurel Bloomery the Moore family was exposed to more old-time music via their neighbor, the blind fiddler and singer, G.B. Grayson. Spencer's father acquired a wind-up phonograph and records. Hearing records by the likes of Charlie Poole, Jimmie Rodgers , Riley Puckett and their neighbor, G.B. Grayson, stoked the fires of Spencer's love of old-time music that much more. A few dollars bought him a guitar from Sears and Roebuck via the mail. In 1933, at age 14, Spencer attended the famous Whitetop Mountain Folk Festival. There he heard Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt sing "Three Little Babes," an old British ballad also known as "The Wife of Usher's Well."

By the late 1930's, Spencer and his brother Joe were performing publicly themselves as the Moore Brothers in the Delmore Brothers style. It was during this period that the Moores performed in a tent-show with the Carter Family.

In 1959, famed folklorist Alan Lomax along with Shirley Collins came into the hills of southwest Virginia to collect Blue Ridge mountain music. Lomax recorded a number of pieces by Spencer including Jimmy Sutton and The Girl I Left Behind. The performances were released on Atlantic and Prestige Records.

Spencer Moore is a living link to our musical past. He knew and played with the Carter Family, G. B. Grayson and Henry Whitter. Such links are becoming increasing rare. He is a treasure we should cherish.

speaking of northsix wtf is up with "music hall of williamsburg"

pollack to basics

I hope they do!!!

"Scott do u have that High Rise album "Disallow"¿"

no, i don't. i need more high rise albums in my life. they are god. *high rise - live* is one of the greatest albums ever made. and seeing them live is one of the greatest things/forces of nature that i've ever witnessed.

scott you should jam boris's FLOOD

i'll remember the title. maybe i'll see it cheap. i wanna get into skullflower now. i only own one album by them! the last one on crucial blast.

oh yeah, mono bore me to tears too. but they are more of a godspeed kinda thing.

I don't like Mono at all. or Godspeed either.

i wanna get into skullflower now.

seconded. I have been meaning to ask if some of that stuff that people leo'd a while back could be re-upped. I missed out ....

then i'll need to get stuff by ramleh, total, and sunroof. it could be my project this winter.

I love myself a Sunroof

Ned Rothenberg Elliott Sharp Samm Bennett - Semantics

^ really digging it right now.. .DNA/Free jazz vibe

i'm with tim on the jenifer gentle...second everyone on boris and mono (though i alway thought they were a more boring mogwai than gsybe).

been listening mainly to willie nelson, canned heat, and a lotta old blues and roots stuffs...but i was in the mountains...i did spend one night listening to some jewled antler band while sitting onthe dock and staring at the moonless, starfilled sky (at about 2 am)...

since retruning, finally listened to the new coleen and was digging the reissued delux culture two sevens clash (despite dumbass packaging) and some italien thing that a certain OM employee conviced me was a good idea. it is. itll tell you what it is later.

also yesterday evening was loveless on repeat (thnks to a certain essay ina certain book featuing certain people we all know)...then disc 4 of that crazy last visible dog comp with the turtlething on the cover (brain still dead from too much easy mountain living).

i dig yura yura, but havent played them in a while...i think i saw both the n 6th and tonic shows, but cant recal who else played w/them at tonic...must get back to writing shit down

Ghana Soundz vol. 1

"then disc 4 of that crazy last visible dog comp with the turtlething on the cover"

that's the one i just got. i posted about it up above. i really dig it. and i haven't even gotten to disc four yet!

sorry, i havent gone back and read everyting from the 6 days i was entirely offline...i bought it from the miminokoto dudes with winnings from the breeders cup at that show hstncl and tddp did down at the bar near my apt...so ive been dealing with it since ohhh, oct/nov 2006 and still havent really gone all the way in. some of it is really just amazing...and as a package its brilliantly overwhelming. i was listeningto disc 6 the most for a while. my biggest "problem" is that i keep just taking it on as a crazy whorl of fun noise and never bother to figure out whos who (if its not obvious) or any of that business. i just dive in there and roll with it. im sure i shold buy more by some of those bands, but i couldnt begin to say who.

I have been meaning to ask if some of that stuff that people leo'd a while back could be re-upped. I missed out ....

I will support anyone's skullflower addiction. love their stuff from '88 to '92 - birthdeath, form destroyer, xaman, iiird gatekeeper - unfortunately it's the hardest to come by. they petered out after that, and bower's side projects have been more interesting than skullflower for years now.

I'm uploading my homebrewed rarities comp once more...

HARVESTER!!!

catrter fam - on border radio 1930 vol 2

milton, if you go to the bookstore you can read my essay on divine's album in the new marooned book. you might like it. then you can put the book back on the shelf if you want.

I did just that at st. mark's on july 5th. almost bought the book just for that article, then I made the mistake of reading some of the rest of it, but man I am avidly awaiting the first volume of compiled skot

(I should give the book another try, when I looked at the back cover there were a lot of respectable ILM people, I might have just landed on the wrong three articles)
