"lower case" by & large a corny preset these days but ineffable transcendence abounds herein

I've gone back to the heart and soul music: Rock and Roll Over, Rocks, and Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap in this evenings play list.

really enjoying the Mystery Lights 2016 debut.
It's nuggets classic style garage rock, more passionate reverence than derivative I think.
Sort of a slinkier version of the Sonics

Naka Naka Mundo Harsh

Rough but beautiful rainy day vibes w/hints of ambient AFX and Kinesthesia.

read an article on buzzing local bands. i cherry pick fierce. faced with a list of eleven bands i haven't heard of i'll pick the one with the best sounding name. so i listened to brown calculus. i like them! they sound like a hippie THEESatisfaction.

quite audible how the MC5 version is based on the Ted taylor. But I do love teh Jerry Lee Lewis version which is the first recording I think. Haven't heard any other Ted Taylor so not sure how prevalent the falsetto is.

the Myra melford re-issue is done in the same design format. I think it is the Hatology label house style.

yes i just now realized that as you said it :/

it's classic Swiss taste neutrality, perhaps!

Andrew W.K. "The Party All Goddamn Night E.P." (2011)

i've been listening to "You're Not Alone" so much i needed a chaser. never heard this EP but it's very cool! it has an early version of "Ever Again". and the song "Head Bang" is one of the coolest things he has ever done.

That Venezuela 70 comp is rad

Yeah been meaning to see what is comparable compilationwise. Maybe the Souljazz german electronic compis or something.

Loving that last Mojo covermounted cd too. Got a theme of early mod r'n'b great stuff.

That looks like an interesting record, calzino.

it's not one of his best and is dragged down a bit by the awful vox tracks, but he's such a legend/musical force I'll listen to literally anything he plays on.

(Ha, then I went back to the Smashing Pumpkins poll.)

Grisey represent! I think I like the original Accord recording (with Gérard Caussé on viola) even better. For what it's worth, it's a little faster than the Kairos one and the playing strikes me as a wee bit more idiomatic, though I absolutely adore the ASKO Ensemble (and Garth Knox) as well.

I'll look for that one.

I've got to admit when Meades put some Ben Webster in his Architecture of Fascist Italy doc, I was really happy that someone else out there appreciates this genius.
