very nice audience recording

I probably got this from here: http://sonicyouth.utkonos.org/

Hey thanks. Nice resource.


For me today:

Wire: Chairs Missing
Stiv Bators: Disconnected
Plimsouls: Everywhere at Once

RE Michael Jackson. I cannot for the life of me imagine how anyone can say he was part of the de-souling of soul. That kid had fucking soul. He did what Tina Turner did, though more successfully, which is hybridize his background with rock music. In fact, I hypothesize that he never repeated the sa...

"He loved the poetry section," Dave Dutton said as Dirk chimed in that Ralph Waldo Emerson was Jackson's favorite. "I think you would find a great deal of the transcendental, all-accepting philosophy in his lyrics." Like this, for example: Your Butt Is Mine Gonna Take You Right Just Show Your Face ...

yeah. i'm far to young to have "been there" during disco (born five months before Thriller came out) and have only experienced the music through its recent cultural reevaluation via queer theory. i like to think that i like soul music, and certainly feel like i should, but i listen to donna summer ...

it was maybe 3 weeks ago, but Agoraphobia by Deerhunter got played about 20 times in a day's time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oup-m8Hxx4Y I have been playing the shit out of this album since it came out. Only lately have I decreased, mainly because I got some old Epsilon albums that I have on h...

You know, I actually find it kinda hard to make a podcast of experimental music. Maybe it is just me, but when I listen to stuff like Keith Rowe or Morton Feldman, I usually listen to them a long time. Recordings also tend to be long, which doesn't lend to podcasting very well (or the standard mix l...

I posted this in the 150 people thread. It probably belongs here. I tend to agree with Jon, et al. But I am not sure if that is because the Wire is a bad zine, or because there is a more general problem with EAI criticism. Most music criticism was built around a music that follows some sort of class...

i'd rather just check something out that sit through turgid descriptions that make, i don't know. . . nmperign and english sound exactly the same. "hisses, crackles, and whooshes tell us that these instruments *aren't* being played as their makers intended. the players build up a focused and steely...

Wow. Thanks. I'll try to do a more appropriate mix sometime soon.

I experimented with making a podcast for the first time. This is a very un-i-hate-music sorta list, but here it is anyway. Maybe I'll do one more appropriate for this forum. http://feraljared.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/first.m4a Your Cheat-Sheet: * Daniel Johnston, God * Jay Reatard, I know a place...

Sea of Blasphemy, Black Lips.

Not exactly on repeat, since I have it on vinyl, but that album in general is just so great, I can't stop playing it. The other song I really dig on that album is Punk Slime. Fucking bad ass.

i know the blog. i tried some, and the thing is, i seem to know all the better ones: Ney Matogrosso, Marcos Valle, Jards Macal?, Dami?o Experyen?a, Walter Franco, Som Imagin?rio, Ednardo, Flaviola, Jorge Ben of course. no real discoveries here, at least for me. I have known about this blog for a wh...

Black Time: Blackout

I find that, for example, what someone like Sean Meehan is doing, is totally unrelated to what Toshi Nakamura is doing. But somehow we got them intimately involved in the same scene (now watch, someone is going to tell me that they are going to play together or that they already have). Regardless o...

As listeners, unless you are a critic, or massively obsessive purchaser of music with a lot of time on your hands which, incidentally, could probably be said for a lot of people speaking their mind in this thread. which is not to say that the original question doesn't seem incredibly futile. on wha...

As listeners, unless you are a critic, or massively obsessive purchaser of music with a lot of time on your hands, I think it is too early to pick up any trends unless you are involved in the scene on the level that someone like Jon is. Even then, even this tiny corner of music is hard for one perso...
