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.

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.

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds copenhagen 20/10/17
the concert that is featured in the concert film Distant Sky was circulated via torrent sites presumably before most people had heard of a forthcoming concert film.
This was apparently the first stadium tour by the band. You can see the size of the venue in the film.
Energy/intensity level throughout seems to be pretty high.
Very good performance.

Not sure if the band changed the tracks played much over the tour. Looked like a few of the sets I have from last year have pretty similar setlists.
