Cause I'm officially in a midlife crisis, I have been listening to quite a bit of old stuff. Nostalgia.

dEUS - Worst Case Scenario
George Michael - Best of (Damn miss him more and more)
But also Frank Ocean

lol Billy Bragg and that Birthday Party comp were big records for teenage me. im going thru a midlife crisis nostalgia fest too

The Colourist with Emiliana Torrini (LIVE)

Includes several cuts from 'Fisherman's Woman' radically re-imagined in orchestral versions that do not mirror the acoustic intimacy of the originals. The percussion throughout is exceptional and Torrini's vocals are as gorgeous as usual.

Also includes tracks from "Tookah" and "Me And Armini".

A cheap 2cd of jump blues, hillbilly boogie and other pre r'n'r called Jump'n'Jive. Pretty good selection with decent sound.

It has Tiny Bradshaw's original of Train Kept a Rolling on it. In which the woman on the train is a 'hipster' from New York City. I don't think I've been able to make out what that word was on any of the subsequent covers. Think it's sounded like it morphed into 'heifer' elsewhere. Was the word hipster unknown in white Memphis where Johnny Burnette came from?
Thankfully had different connotations than it does now.

The only way my 8-year old son will go to sleep is by listening to the Spotify Top 50 list, so what I've been listening to recently is:
Ed Sheeran, "Shape Of You"
Ed Sheeran, "Castle On the Hill"
The Weeknd, "Starboy"
ZAYN/Taylor Swift, "I Don't Wanna Live Forever"
Clean Bandit, "Rockabye" feat. Sean Paul & Anne-Marie

Of these, I like "Starboy" best. I really don't like Ed Sheeran. I think Sean Paul's guest verse on "Rockabye" is funny.

Apart from that:

Ben Webster, "Picasso"
Charlie Parker w strings
Jorge Ben, A Tabua De Esmeralda
Jeff Parker, Slight Freedom
Mrs Miller singing "Monday Monday"
Cocteau Twins, first album
Bill Evans, How My Heart Sings
Grant Green with Sonny Clark
Fleetwood Mac, "Everywhere"

(Ehm, I meant Coleman Hawkins, "Picasso", not Ben Webster.)

ran across the electric jive blog, which is still alive and kicking, and have just been inhaling various stuff from there. particularly good is a 78 by almon memela, "amapoyisa/lashona".

lots of The Three Sounds for me recently, the standouts have been vibrations, elegant soul and the blue hour w/ Stanley Turrentine. They are a band that can make the world seem a better place with a jaunty instrumental Lee Hazelwood cover, and Sittin' Duck off Elegant Soul was on repeat a lot yesterday. I just love them.

Sometimes jazzy, Taiwanese pop, Mavis Fan:

Free EP downloads. Maybe I like it better because it's not in English. I'm okay with that.

Need to want laidback to enjoy, I think.

Mostly jamming Ram Dass on my phone.

An evening under the breasts of the Divine Mother?

Ben Webster is fucking awesome.

tons of minimal:
Jan Jelinek/Farben
Gas/M:1:5
Deepchord presents Echospace
Basic Channel

and also the new DJ Nigga Fox, which is coincidentally way more minimal than his previous stuff

I've got a few different things going. I mostly listen to Fu Manchu, Uriah Heep or Sabbath at work of late. I got one playlist ath home with some newer riffy stuff like Lecherous Gaze, The Shrine with High On Fire, Motorhead and some old stuff like Cactus and Mountain. I got another play list working getting into Leon Russell, JJ Cale mixed with some odd Dylan records, Badfinger and George Harrison. I'm also working a play list mixing some Iggy, Bowie, T-Rex, Eno, Roxy Music, King Crimson and Mott the Hoople. I'll break things up listening to anything else that comes to mind sometimes on Youtube.

Kinda weird to me that "Drum N Bass for Papa" by Plug is like 20 years old. That doesn't seem possible, but there it is... I listened to a bunch of those tracks and Photek on Youtube tonight.

Dimi Mint Abba & Co. I want to say jam session but I think it's probably a lot more structured than that.

Right now I am listening to the three-disc reissue of The Verve's first album. Fucking AWESOME draggy drugged-out rock music. Can't believe I waited this long to hear it for the first time.

This is something old from 2016 that I keep listening to, thanks ShariVari:

Tilbury recently turned 81. i read somewhere he described playing/improvising as something like pushing/shaping clay, as it took place on the spot.. can't recall the source. the recording (box set) is excellent, the material is definitely up there with Duos for Doris

i do dearly love shostakovich's film music for hamlet, super good, not super talked about ime

http://www.hisvoice.cz/images/pisaro_cover2_201304080203379.jpg

this, along with The Middle of Life--totally immersive, a variety of recordings and instrumentation/electronic sounds woven together.. excited for the new release on Potlatch.

Man, I always thought Johnny was saying "hippie." I know that's anachronistic but words have to start somewhere, right?

The earliest use I know of: in the 50s-early 60s jazz scene(s), a hippie was a silly dilettante, maybe a noob, like "teenybopper" later, yknow little sister and her hordes, screaming for the Monkees (rather than the Beatles, like your cool shapely classmates did). But guess it could have positive connotations too, even before the Summer of Love.
Seeing that Necronomicon cover reminds me of the Neuromiun album on which Nico invokes Poe's "Ulalume"----video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phoS1rtSTAA

bootleg dvd of the huns, torrent comes with this note:

Note:If you’re easily offended by the site of a grown man performing in ass less pants, while a corpulent Mr.Death plays keyboards, the bassist dressed in speedos and devilhorns, all the while a Christ figure propped on a cross gets ritually crastrated, then don’t download this DVD.Enjoy.

(wau that page has a bunch of Nico, like all of Chelsea Girl and Desertshore and the doc Nico Icon for a start)

i took music humanities with charles dodge! (waaay xpost.) sadly the semester ended before got to electronic/avant modern stuff. he was a good teacher / nice guy.

radian - on dark silent off
autechre - untilted/quaristice.. there's a live recording from 2008 (Los Angeles) circulating on the www... it's got like straight-ahead, banging beats and then turns into a wild hybrid of Untilted and Quartistice, though not sounding much like either album.

"Put Your Love In Me" by Hot Chocolate because it's like symphonic half-speed disco dub and I'm kind of overwhelmed

Highly recommended: putting it on Youtube and also in your mp3 player on slight delays

got the boxset of all their albums earlier this year and left it on the shelf.
until now.
some really good stuff.

which i wish I'd been more familiar with yesterday cos i would have bought the cd.

//e.snmc.io/lk/f/l/0bb6fc5a790c93281d03eeb92b8192fd/3334740.jpg
the 2cd version that came out a few years back.

//e.snmc.io/lk/f/l/43357dc2eae82c36787fe8e1dff82bf9/2230086.jpg
expanded version from I think the Sanctuary version of Trojan

finally got a copy o fthis. I think it was the 2nd thing I heard by them after Strange Celestial Road

//e.snmc.io/lk/f/l/96f9653999c5ea9ac2d4f6ac33ab28ab/3719937.jpg
a 2cd version that was going for £5 in FOPP>. Been a compilation I've wanted to pick up a versiono f for years. THis one ties in with the Charly reissues of IA.

This 6CD box was originally put out by Mosaic in 2006; it seems like Verve made it available digitally in 2011. I'm shuffling through it on Spotify.

Etta James' 1973 s/t album is fantastic, but I'm captivated by her cover of Randy Newman's "God's Song".
