    rolling blogariddims thread

    I did a little dub treatment of some 'Black Jack Johnson'-sessions Davis in my Blogariddims (No. 6? 7?). . . keen to hear someone who actually knows how to do it proper.

    Check out this track and tell me what you think

    Play it with this link-- "Ready for the Wave" I'm curious what you'd think--any thoughts at all.

    Sly & the Family Stone - 'Collection' (2007)

    You got this round of remasters, you just haven't listened all the way to the bonus tracks yet? How's the sound on these ones (as I'm wary of the compressed-to-hell "remastering" trend)?

    Sly & the Family Stone - 'Collection' (2007)

    Anyone picked this up? Remasters good/too compressed? Bonus tracks any good? It seems to be selling for such a low price I'm not sure I can resist picking it up, even though I have five of the seven albums. . . (For those who hadn't heard--it's a remaster/reissue jobber of the first 7 albums...

    'Unseen Cinema'

    Anyone seen this? Any opinions? I'm pretty keen to pick up a copy. Anyone know anything equivalently thorough for European cinema? http://www.unseen-cinema.com Not sure the curator's thesis is persuasive, but I don't really care--looks like loads of interesting film.

    herbert - what do you reckon?

    'Scale' took a while to grow on me, but at this point I'm prepared to call it my favourite album of 2006. And the Big Band thing has suddenly jumped up in my estimation upon reevaluation after some time. Still dig the Dr. Rockit stuff. 'Bodily Functions' remains amongst my favourite albums of...

    Nico - 'The Frozen Borderline' (1968-1970)

    Holy hell--finally got around to picking up the recent twofer reissue of Nico's 'Marble Index' and 'Desertshore,' entitled 'The Frozen Borderline 1968-1970'. These albums have been near and dear to my heart/ears for a long time, having deeply perverted my sense of what vocal pop music...

    Bjork - 'Volta' (2007)

    Wikipedia seems to have links to the teasers and other info better stated than I've done from memory: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volta_%28album%29

    Bjork - 'Volta' (2007)

    Any Dissensians keeping up with the noise about this record? Anyone heard it? Sounds potentially quite exciting to me, potentially a lot of fun. She's collaborating with some really interesting folk--Timbaland, Toumani Diabate, Konono No. 1, Antony (of & the Johnsons), the drummer from that...

    rough trade to open UK's biggest record shop

    Nothing personal against skaters, just meant that walking through another shop (whatever the wares) in order to get to a record shop makes the latter seem like something of an afterthought.

    rough trade to open UK's biggest record shop

    Admittedly I've a soft spot for Rough Trade the label in its early years, but I hope this works out for Rough Trade the shop. Much as I love the occasional small shop that really hits a certain strand spot on, I have to admit at my level of far-gone sound obsession with so many musical forms...

    Low - 'Drums & Guns' (March, 2007)

    This record hit shops this week I believe--any Dissensians dared venture into the indie section, where it will inevitably be (mis)filed, to pick it up?

    Irredeemably naff music

    Nobody tries to salvage, say, Manheim Steamroller, Yanni, Kenny G, John Tesh, etc.? Also, people trying to argue for the embalmed remnants of the Las Vegas schmaltz sound test my trust that no one really ironically likes anything. The mere mention of the names of stuff like Nickleback, et al...

    Vocal Pop Music -- Do you listen to lyrics?

    Hmm. Guess I'll keep living in non-lyrics-listening bliss, then.

    Vocal Pop Music -- Do you listen to lyrics?

    Anybody ever understood a word Mark Hollis sings? Sounds like there could be something to it, but I've never really tried hard enough to suss any of it. . . Heard Wild Man Fischer's 'An Evening With Wild Man Fischer' tonight for the first time, and I must say I'm enjoying his lyrical approach...

    Various Artists - '1971' [80:00]

    Thanks! '61 and '91 are both definitely more outside my most frequented range (unless I focused in on Jazz for '61). I was actually thinking '72 or '74 were probably up next. . . Did debate that with myself, along with the Led Zeppelin. . . Perhaps if I did it again.

    A little Neu Deutsche Welle: 1981 mix

    Thanks to you both, glad you dig it. If I ever made more physical copies of the 1981 box, maybe I'd graduate this into a proper CD, rather than (mostly) a playlist on the mp3 disc. . . As a professed non-lyrics-listener/non-Deutsche sprecher, I'm not sure I recall which track is the one you're...

    Wire's 154

    Great album. Slightly prefer 'Chairs Missing,' '154' has a few moments that sound a little Pink Floyd/King Crimson to me. But both excellent. I assume "arty" "weird" rock is despised by antirockists/popists even more than dumb, meaty cock rock?
