What old music have you been enjoying this year?

Personally I don't think 2014 has been a great year musically so I've been listening to mostly older stuff. I have 'discovered' PiL and Arthur Russell and have been loving 'em. Also been listening to a lot of stuff by The Fall, Can, Drexciya and DJ Sprinkles

apart from Arthur Russell, that's pretty much my go to playlist right there

more spiritual jazz comps

flute jazz from france

This is fantastically beautiful. Just one guy's voice and guitar. Vital stuff.


Edit: anyone else mentally preface the phrase 'spiritual jazz' with 'poorly titled'?

Dom Angus is currently putting out several tracks on vinyl/digital on his own label which were around on dubplate only around 96/97 ... Some awesome stuff available for the proles for the first time these days

Been on a Hound Dog Taylor splurge - so named 'cos he was constantly chasing pussy, born with six fingers on one hand (apparently he got drunk one night and sliced the extra digit off with a razorblade, though not sure if that's R'n'R myth), run out of Mississippi by the KKK and washed up in Chicago where he spent a relatively low-key career churning out rough blues sets in dive bars. Could pretty much listen to his 'Live At Florence's' LP on loop all day.
