Is there a download somewhere over there or is it an embedded stream? I've got no sound on my computer so I can't tell if it's the latter.

It's a reissue from '76, and Mongo died in '03, having lived a life very much in contact with the American music scene, so I think there's little exploitation going on here.

Alex Delivery's Star Destroyer:
The Star Destroyer part being the awesome musical backdrop, sounding a bit like a mix of Broadcast and latter day Excepter. Clanging all around and full of fuzzy warped synths.
The Alex Delivery part being some GODAWFUL Brooklyn pair with no ideas or talent for vocals, yet here they are contributing vocals anyway!
This is the potentially great disappointment of 2007, I think.

Antitype have you listened to Monarch yet?
I've only heard one track from their new album, but it sounded pretty good.
Awaiting more femdoom reqs itt.
PS: Haw. googled "femdoom" to see if I was coining a term and arrived at dessgeega's blog.

Yeah, I think Boris have begun to realize that instead of ebaying their own stuff and risking the possibility of ever capitulating to a low bid, they can just sell it for however much they please in the first place. Someone give those folks an economics award!
Here's a list:
#1 from here through December, on the all-time top 5, etc.:
Koch-Schütz-Studer - Tales from 30 Unintentional Nights
others:
Flower-Corsano Duo - The Radiant Mirror
Basil Kirchin - Particles
The High Llamas - Can Cladders
Battles - Mirrored
Shining - Grindstone
Laub - Deinetwegen
McPhee, Brotzmann, Kessler, Zerang - Guts
Von Sudenfed - Tromatic Reflexxions
reissues, compilations:
Omar Souleyman - Highway to Hassake
Current 93 - The Inmost Light
Eccentric Soul: The Prix Label
Rumble in the Jungle
Box of Dub
Betty Davis - They Say I'm Different
The Trees Community - The Christ Tree

Heads up- a few new archive releases today.
One's a repress (and slight remaster) of their old Khanate release, now going for $50 or more on ebay, the next is another Khanate live show from Stockholm in 2004, and the third is Galax's Never Ending Space Trackin, a title which pretty much sums the subset of Japanese Psych of which it's a part. Members of CCCC/Astral Traveling Unity and Mandog, with a guest appearance by AMT's Hiroshi Higashi.
These will all probably sell out by the end of the weekend.
I'm predicting, based on a single listen, that Vampire Weekend's forthcoming LP will be the next big indie craze. This is, of course, entirely dependent on getting a very good Pitchfork score, which is a little ridiculous. But they've actually got a whole bevy of the "right" pop elements, from Spoon to Clinic to Paul Simon to Beach Boys back to Magic Numbers etc. etc. They do manage to merge all those sounds decently- I'll give them that.
Also, Oxbow's The Narcotic Story may very well make a jump onto my 2007 list, as soon as I can give it time.
EDIT: Also, Smoov-E's Larry Dallas (Next Door Neighbor) is the only hip-hop album to have gotten my attention this year. It's like an entire album of those awful sex rap tracks that pad out the last third of most mainstream gangsta albums these days, but dressed in purple velvet robes, rolling around on thick shag carpet, with a horn section in the background.

Yeah, I RSVPed to 77 BOA DRUM today. Do they send confirmation or anything or do I just show up with my name on some list?
Koch-Schutz-Studer continues to be just about all I listen to these days. I'll try to write up a big post about them sometime soon.

Do you think so? The thing I noticed was a lack of audio recording equipment. There were a couple mics around the outside of the circle but I think those were just independent tapers. So I'm not sure if they'll actually be doing an official release; maybe just some third party vague "artsy" stuff. American Apparel had a bunch of cameras around.
If they'd properly mic'ed and shot this from the stage though- that could have been the surround sound experience of the decade.
Also: First Nation must be some incredibly awesome friends, cause they're certainly a musical waste of space.
And listening to packs and packs of indie kids all vocally psyched for some Keerazy Andrew WK Action, to have him show up dressed for a round of golf and playing entirely by the numbers = priceless.

What sort of presumption is it amongst pop artists that makes them think I want to listen to their album for 75+ minutes?
EDIT: I know on the numberic list I accused Caribou of making a boring new album with Andorra, but that's not exactly the case. There's plenty of gushing joyous instrumentation, and the lyrics are all a Beach Boys sort of celebration of the feminine, but the vocals bring the letdown. The voices aren't just good enough to carry that emotion like Brian Wilson could lend to something like Surf's Up, so they just end up sounding false, which it turn brings down the music by calling into question the veracity of the overall joy. Bummer, dude.

yeah, antitype's disappeared into depression or something it seems (and possibly WoW again; I haven't seen him round LJ either). Wish he'd come back. :(
K-S-S is probably my favorite band ever, now. Their back catalog's astonishingly good as well, with all these very avant garde takes on world music (they've got an Egyptian and a Cuban album), spoken word and DJs. Nothing's ever dumbed down like you come to expect of such cross-cultural collaboration, either. I've got almost their entire discography on slsk, if you're there.
I think Blueberry Hill sent that Caroliner. He's my favorite numberic poster.

Word. I'm headed to their Oct. 3rd NYC show.
I've been doing a bit of a metal exploration recently; the good stuff I've come up with has been Meshuggah's I and Furze's UTD. Everything else has been pretty laughable, but then I'm not someone who can really appreciate metal on a "FUCK YEAH!" level.

|

I've been listening to the new reissue of The Peter Bro(umlaut)tzmann Octet's Machine Gun, one of the early masterworks of free jazz (along with Ornette Coleman's Free Jazz and Coltrane's Ascension), originally recorded in a tiny cramped and echoing space, to the point where different groupings were placed within tents in the room to hear each other playing (this is noisy, raucous stuff). Which gives it all a universally muddled base from which various highlights shriek out, and the louder things get, the greater the effort required to break into the listener's attention. The remarkable thing of this reissue is that it includes a live version of the title track, which shows the same composition in a different (larger) venue, giving the parts more physical room to breathe, so we can see the piece as a whole in a different light and appreciate the contrast between the two.
| != wrote: |
| Fennesz + Sakamoto stuff |
Now, I'll preface this with my honest opinion; I think Sakamoto's a hack- leftovers from a time when the term "New Age" was a real turn on- and I think the phrase "style reminiscent of Debussy and Satie" translates into "pretty notes played slowly on a piano" (my doubts about the writer of that quote- most likely a publicist or other label copy stooge- are only amplified by the preceding phrase "satisfying sculpture of composition." Shit, I'm certain Debussy sat himself down thinking "Man, I'd really like to compose something satisfying today." He also writes "shimmering" twice in the same page.). So that being said:
I listened to some of the previews on Bleep, and I think Cendre sucks my carefully restrained, lightly played, pensive and totally tasteful balls. It sounds like Sakamoto heard Fennesz's records and asked him to make some more of that, so he could record a few aimless pretty piano turds over it (not talking smeared diarrhea or anything here. His playing is more like rabbit droppings, scattered colonies of little pearls dropped amidst the leafy grass and slightly damp with morning dew). It's akin to the stereotype of a hip hop producer accidentally hearing opera and thinking "I could totally drop a beat over that." The collaboration is pointless, with neither performer adding or reacting to the statements made by the other, and each would be equally or more effective if their contributions were isolated and heard alone.
What you should do instead is listen to that previous collaboration of theirs, Sala Santa Cecilia, where Fennesz (the one with a grasp of texture and nuance) runs the show and submerges any piano contributions past the point of discernible attack (the lasting resonance of sustained piano notes, which Fennesz applies more openly within the piece, are far more subtle and texturally appropriate than the attacks, which announce "Aha! I am the plunked A# of a concert piano!"), making the partnership viably interesting by engaging the listener in a game of "who played what and what emerged after the conflict resolved," highlighting the interplay rather than the individual output.

Quickshot, if you ever run into physical copies of their second collaboration with Uetz, Mysterienspiele, I'd be happy to send you sums of money for one.

Holy shit, I actually found one! I think it was the only copy available on the internet, coming my way from a second-hand shop in Luzern; their label (Gallo) didn't even list it anymore. I'm totally psyched.
Other free jazz goodness: I'm getting into the Taylor Ho Bynum Sextet's The Middle Picture. He's playing cornet, which you don't see much these days, and it's a really beautiful fluid instrument.
You MF Doom types should look into Shape of Broad Minds' Craft of the Lost Art, which takes the (by now standard) Doom nonsense formula and makes it texturally psychedelic. On good headphones it's a physically disorienting listen. My favorite hip hop since the last Edan album, easily.

Kappuru: New UGK and Chamillionaire albums should do you right. EDIT: Nevermind saw your other thread.
Oh, I really liked M.I.A.'s Kala up until that awful Timbaland guest spot. "Paper Planes" would have been the perfect place to end things, I think.

No.
Is any outdoor landscape within reach and a CD of your choice with a walkman worth the cost of batteries?
Yes.
PS: Adam Lane is leading a version of his Full Throttle Orchestra, including Taylor Ho Bynum on trumpet/cornet on Friday and I'm fucking STUCK AT WORK, 10 minutes away. Now that would be worth fucking 20 dollars. Some "Yeah, the tunnels" bullshit? Not so much.
PPS: Calling all New Yorkers- if you've got the slightest passing interest in jazz and you aren't at the Cornelia St. Cafe for the aforementioned show, you're a damn tool.
(I'm not so moved by high-concept, low-implementation pop, if you couldn't tell.)

Radiohead's In Rainbows is the sunniest thing they've ever released. There's acoustic guitar everywhere, and hardly a snarl or yelp in sight. It's actually nearing Wilco territory, I think.
It's a little boring and pointless, too.

Props to the distribution style, but unless he's gotten past slam poet mode in the last few years, you're far better off with Mike Ladd or Divine Styler or something.

It's free and I'll give it a listen on release. No skin off my back.

I've been listening to Will Oldham for years now, but I hadn't heard him do a great duet until I happened upon Scout Niblett's new disc, This Fool Can Die Now. She'd probably blend in with all the other freak folkies, astrological signs and simple strummed blues ballad, but then her voice lifts to approach a shriek and there's finally, finally someone to match Oldham's age-old voicecrack. It's a beautiful, goddamn stunning match in those harmonies, with a heartbreak of a video to boot, a tale of trans-mortal longing.
Scout does good solo stuff too, like the unhinged solitary woman at the end of the lane, deep deep in the woods and throwing a dinner party.

Do you check out Brainwashed? The New Releases section should provide you with the sort of information you're looking for.
I got the new Einstürzende Neubauten this morning. Impressions to follow. |
Thank you, thats exactly what I was looking for. |
Hmm, actually maybe not. This only seems to cover the week of, nothing for the future. |
No, check that second link. It's a little less obviously placed than the current releases on the mainpage.

So if Justin Timberlake, with his solo albums, was saying "Oh ho ho post-boy-band hey ladies ho ho," Britney, with Blackout, says "What?! You just try and tell me you didn't watch me shave my head and attack a car with an umbrella and run the fuck over the goddamn paparazzi on my way out the plastic surgery clinic! Lying motherfucker, I'm gonna fuck your brains out!"
It's also the best top 40 monolith of the past decade or two, and one of the bolder statements in American pop culture, ever.

Yeah, Tyondai used to do a bunch of fantastic solo shows, creating songs from the ground up with just guitar, voice and a whole shitload of loop/delay pedals, but less electronica-ish than you might assume from that description. Check out History That Has No Effect, or his split disc with Parts & Labor, where they play off each other.
Actually, Parts & Labor is really good too, far more joyous and wild than your typical indie band. A lot of y'all might like them.
And speaking of Battles, their full-length had always reminded me of something, but I couldn't remember what it was until I pulled out some old Pit Er Pat cds the other day. Less virtuosity, but a similar sense of jarring rhythm and piercing sound.

Oh DAMN is the Manics' Holy Bible even better than I remembered. Makes just about all rock music since look like navel gazing tripe.
In related self-destructive news; pitchfork.tv is currently hosting the GG Allin documentary Hated, till next friday I guess? Look under the "One Week Only" tab.
Don't we have any fantastically messed up rock stars here in the oughts? Britney had massive, legendary potential and Blackout was the pinnacle of a decade's worth of commercial pop music and American tabloid culture, but I fear she's normalizing again.

I thought they were pretty boring and uncreative when I saw them open for Ted Leo a couple summers ago. They don't seem to have improved either, judging by that video.
Ted Leo though- what a guy! One of the few "indie rockers" I still appreciate.

Wait, are you using "noise" as a catchphrase or are you actually looking for noise?
I've been living in Jed Bindeman's two projects, Heavy Winged and Eternal Tapestry. Long-form improv blown out drone jams, the former more evil noiserock, the latter more blissed our psych (with hints of kraut pulse).

My favorites from those are probably Heavy Winged's Feel Inside and Eternal Tapestry's Vibrations New Dawn (their new one, Mystic Induction, is really good too but a lot more subdued).
Kevin Drumm's got a new double disc out on Hospital; my copy should arrive in a couple days.
Paal Nilssen-Love & Lasse Marhaug: Stalk (produced by Fe-Mail's Hild Sofie Tafjord)
Demons: Evocation
Marcus Schmickler: Altars of Science
Taurpis Tula: Steel Rods Bruise Butterflies (or anything else with Heather Leigh Murray- she's fantastic)
Blues Control: Blues Control (but stay away from their other stuff)
The Vulture Club: Live Young, Die Fast and Leave an Exquisite Corpse

Artists: Tom Jobim, Nu Braz, Sergio Mendes (solo or with Bossa Rio), Rosalia De Souza, Gal Costa, Luiz Bonfa, Caetano Veloso, Tamba Trio, Soulstance, Nicola Conte |
Past their (frickin' fantastic) initial duo album, Domingo, both Caetano Veloso and Gal Costa boarded the Tropicalia train and never came back. Not that that's a bad thing; they're two of my favorite artists in the world (well, Caetano is, and so's Gal up until 1980 or so), it's just not really bossa nova.
There's an excellent compilation of early Quarteto Em Cy's early stuff, 1964-66, that just came out this year. Just covers their first few albums, before they became an international fad and started swapping out members. You know how that goes.
They were originally discovered by Vinicius de Moraes, who's another one you should look into, perhaps before anyone else. Coincidentally, he also just got a great reissue (these are both from the El/Cherry Red label out of the UK) of a collaborative effort with Baden Powell, Os Afro-Sambas.
Also check out Nara Leão.

He draws a whole lot from dub, so it may be an acquired taste.
I had to see him live to fully appreciate him though. It really clicked then, and that was a shitty free outdoor show. I keep meaning to see him in a proper venue.

Certainly. And hey, if we want to get into the general influences of MPB, we can add great stuff like Rita Lee, Mutantes, Jorge Ben, Chico Barque, Tom Ze, and then we can even sneak in some fado with Amalia Rodrigues, who's just all lovely.
I think I forgot Rogerio Duprat. He's good too.
Then for some samba rock, check out the Brazilian Beat Brooklyn compilations put together by a guy named Greg Caz. He seems to be a total dick, but he knows his shit.

BoC are great texturally, except for the drums which are generally boring and have nothing to do with the rest of the song.

Yeah, quite, though I don't know if I really needed the second disc in there.
