"Blue Jay" came on shuffle, now I'm trying not to weep while "working"

B-side title track to this new 12" is awesome IMO, nicely churning ambient electro with satisfyingly snaky melodic lines

stop what you're doing and watch/listen to this, y'all

Wow, thanks! Almost as cool that it looks like Tav Falco himself uploaded this.

That second song, the boogie from around 5:30 to 13:00, is esp so amazing

(Oh snap, it's See My Jumper Hangin' On The Line)

that rules

royal trux

yesssss

table fantastic, that made my day

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/c4f70204e4efa2d1c658b4aa157b3f92/8261477
slowly working through the 3 discs of this . Playing one disc per week on my 3 changer as I leave another 2 on until I'm used to tehm too.
THIs is the 3rd disc this week or this week I'm playing disc 3. That's got a run from He's gone through Trucking an 18 minute Other One Wharf Rat and Sugar Magnolia from one night in 1973 but disc starts with something from 74.
Do like them in 73 and 74 apart from when they added horns which I may need to revisit but couldn't connect with.
For saome reason I connect 73 wiuthg e colour green and 74 with a creamy yel;low. Not sure why.
BUt cool stuff I love twhge way the indivbidual instruments come together to build a soundscape and fun stuff like that. I remember studying phenomenology in Philosophy at University 20 years ago and thinking about these and Neubauten in therms of taht. the way that instruments come together to make a landscape in sound. Acknowledgment of what does constitute a melody/tune whatever.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/0c4f374000507d9dd9c9ab48b98f5881/8417048
managed to get a copy of teh box set from a Spanish seller on discogs after having been let down over a copy i was upposed to be getting for Xmas. Xmas copy got replaced by a copy of the Meters box set which I'm also playing this week./
I think it's disc 4 of this I have on this week that's various demoes, peel session tracks and 2 from the 2018 Cafe Oto show which i should have got to. I thought this would have the whole reunion gig which I at least assume was a bit longer.
Some nice floaty folky stuff with some great guitar and bass and stuff. Celia Humphries had a great voice. Sorry to hear she died recently

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/74b6e7cda6948305f3bfab27668d317d/2515519
Or rather the disc of teh Cherry Red box set representing this but somewhat expanded.
Great stuff. Pretty superlative. This lp had the band start to feature some vocal tracks among the instrumentals.
New orleans funky stuff that should be taught in school or wherever it would at least feature in everybody's awareness. Not sure if everybody knowing about it would devalue it and foster the appearance of a load of watered down versions though which would be counterproductive.

Struttin' is so great

^ The 45-min-long "Playing In The Band" on that Pacific Northwest Dead set is its own album, so good

Spending time with this one on this snowy Friday.

love that Pacific Northwest dead set! meters rule, of course, wait til you get to fire on the bayou, Steveolende that album is hottt

Lukid - Crawlers EP (Warp/Liberation Technologies, 2014)

With his incognito duo with Tapes having just started releasing
around that time on TTT, it's of course in hindsight v proto-Rezzett

somebody posted here recently how "o my soul" is a masterclass in stratocaster sound and that poster was otm

kinda just feeling like listening to both these albums again lol

man, that chord change at the end of "daizy glaze" just rips yr heart out eh?

^ Re-listening now, and I totally forgot how much of a fist-pumper that song is by the end there (nevermind how proto-slowcore slow it starts as/builds from)

#1/Radio City is my platonic ideal of two albums by a band on one CD

my copy says pay no more than 4.99

I recently happened across a record by a guy named Emmet Zelo.

I saw this album cover (https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a4087165190_10.jpg) and thought, oh cool, a sick live record from the '70s from a guy I haven't heard of!

After doing some digging, I think this guy is actually a contemporary artist. That had me feeling like such an idiot... even though I guess it doesn't really matter?

Milk Music- Beyond Living 12"

One of the better records to come out of the late aughts/early 2010s punk scene.

OK you need to tell me abt that, is Siobhan on board?

oh it's an old tour cd i think. craig, sharon, daria klotz, fredrik haake, richard harrison, fly. no siobhan. off the cuff 1997 not quite as immediate or naggingly poppy as speed yr trip or the 7"s, a bit of sprawl but grand overall.

oh cool! I don't think I actually knew that one, I have No Fi which is similar

GodCo were/are so undeniably original (a cool contemporary/only recently defunct band with a relatively similar distinct steez might be Blanche Blanche Blanche on OSR Tapes?)--
I only know two GIMC-P albums well, so look fwd to a deep dive at some pt
