thx Kuma, just dl'd and will give a listen tomorrow. Tracklist looks fantastic.

PD, you deserve it, it's a great blog. The selection of music is almost overwhelming (in a good way). Good to know that your efforts are being appreciated.

It's sad indeed, mms, and after reading your first post I listened again to Journey In Satchidananda, and then found my way to Don Cherry's Brown Rice, not because she played on it (she didn't), but because of the mournful vibe on a grey day where I happened to be located (literally and...

Not that I remember, though it was long ago, and I could be mistaken - saw the Loveless tour in Chicago, summer of '92 (iirc).

Iva Bittová is said to be the Czech Republic's best known avant musician, she's a singer, violinist and composer. She began as a film actress, but eventually made a mark in music as well. Her father was a well known Slovakian Roma (gypsy) musician, her mother a professional singer. Bittová...

Impressive. By the way, will past episodes be archived? Is the Gentle Giant episode still available (I did catch it eventually, and loved it, but wanted to steer a few friends to it)?

It's at 1:55 in "Hello New World": "I ain't coming at at you quote, unquote "famous rapper" / Who turn positive, try to tell you how to live / But this information I must pass to the homies / If hustling is a must be Sosa, not Tony."

Mos dan and dubversion are quite right, there is no need to object to Low on the basis of their christian lyrics, I ought to have merely cited that feature without adding value judgments. It is a record well worth listening to, as I indicated above, and I have much respect for the band's...

Any news on these? Have heard many good things. Am planning to order soon (mimaroglu, aforementioned), though am still drawing up a list.

Listening now, thank you so much (again) for this one. What with "The Minus Degree," "Crunchcore," and "X Plore H Core," my household has been spoiled for the past year by Ben UFO mixes! Not forgetting that lovely dnb mix of yours on Gutta's blog many moons ago . . . :D

It was nice to see this, as well as New York Noise 3, mentioned in Woebot's year-end survey.

Over holiday vacation I dug out old footage of Coltrane and relished watching Eric Dolphy play the flute in a quartet with Coltrane, Elvin Jones, and Jimmy Garrison. His note selection is quite similar to the way that he plays saxophone. There is an amazing frame in which Dolphy concludes his...

Soundslike, I want to thank you for taking the time to share the record. I downloaded it last night as soon as it appeared on your post and listened to it twice, and again today, repeatedly. It is an impressive record, I agree. Minimal but lush in its own way, beautiful on headphones. The...

Not sure what you mean by "faux-wisdom after the event" or "we should have seen sovereign's US success coming," since the possibility of Sov breaking in the US has been thoroughly discussed for the past two years and even in the US she's been touted for ages. A year ago this time she was...

As vache stated, natural reverb refers to the reverb that results from the size, shape, and materiality of the room in which the instrument is recorded. Hence the terrific care taken by producers when choosing and placing mics etc etc, and the attention paid to the construction and design of...

I've been away for more than a week so missed this thread. But, um, wha? The opening post of the thread is one of the cornier things I've read in a while. For one thing, S F/J states quite clearly in the opening that "cocaine rap" is neither his idea nor his judgment, it's a phrase in...

19. (Dadaist and Futurist artist) Kurt Schwitters' Ursonate. Sound poetry in four movements, composed 1922-1932. Fantastic piece. A score of it here: http://www.ubu.com/historical/schwitters/ursonate.html 33. "Die Moritat von Mackie Messer," from Dreigroschenoper, 1928. Music by Weill...

The point wasn't to change anyone's opinion regarding how a band "sounds," since I have no interest in convincing anyone of anything in the domain of taste -- it was to add historical context, since the title of the thread was "get," not "like." I don't listen to the Ramones either, for what...

K-punk, since you quote Carl Impostume's blog post -- where he describes musician Joanna Newsom's "slapability" and her "punchable" face, and says that he would "have to kill her" were he actually to read the interview with Newsom in Wire -- let't read the entire post: from Impostume...

I saw lidell the night before this, with snax, at hamilton. Have a bunch of pics too. Snax was great (btw, nice to see his vox on the latest get physical comp), and of course lidell was stunning. Saw Akron/Family a couple of weeks ago in San Diego. One of those occasions when you realize...
