Those glasses

He wanted to know how the world looks when you are an intellectual but he got the size wrong.

so much Bruce Haack yesterday. so crazy to hear something like "Electric to Me Turn" in an era where auto-tune is a passing fad. i think Bruce Haack only gets cooler with time.

Not as good as "Streamers" I think, but I'd be curious to hear any album Brous puts out. (It looks like the anticipated 2016 album was never realeased.)

Anna Makirere - Tiare Avatea, a 2017 reissue of a 1981 cassette-only album of Cook Islands/Polynesian teen pop. bandcamp.

just working through some sets of files on a hard drive I've connected to the new computer after it lying idle for years.
So not heard this in ages and probably not played it much at that point either.
But sounds pretty cool. Couple of years after they lost the female singer from the first lp.

Also, Yasmine Hamdan - Al Jamilat, 2017 Lebanese trip-hop.

mop up of unreleased tracks from 70-74. Pretty good so far. Again something that's lain unused on a hard drive for the last couple of years.

must be pretty early for highlife, came out in '66. But not really a genre i know thoroughly.

Orlando Julius is still fun live. Saw him twice last year. Will look for that.

I see there's a cd set that combines this with the early 70s lp by him.

Missed this last year. Description: music? Album title doesn't do it any favors, imo.

XP: mainly whirring & some messaienesque tinkling. better than the ersatz fushitsusha they were for the next few outings.
today my 2& a hlf year old boy chose bruce gilbert (didn't like it), steel mammoth (dancing), laurel halo (got the dirty washing out of the laundry basket & chilled)
subsequently, papa goes German homework spinning https://img.discogs.com/syFk8VSFI8WKMNnInRYpAAMPgNc=/fit-in/488x472/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-4881483-1378329731-5528.jpeg.jpg

what's with that spacing? awesome typos, blocked sinuses, thunderstorm weather & general grumpiness suggest a brewing migraine.
batten the hatches.

x-post, re: Tima Formosa. I recall that one being more engaging than the subsequent, more rockish, or "ersatz fushitsusha" forms of the later releases.. a lot of material, though. Can't speak on the quality of the more recent stuff.

re: Rolando Simmons, nice use of portamento
