Have been listening to this Jockstrap album a lot lately. "Concrete Over Water" in particular is really doing it for me.

Only 2/3 of the new Dawn collaboration has been released but it's been on heavy rotation recently

Yeah that Dawn Richard album is already shaping up to be AOTY material. Most exciting 21/10 release imo. But I'll also give Taylor and Carly Rae a spin.

Some discussion of their previous album in the sophistipop thread. New one is not AOTY material for me, but I do love "I Am So Happy With My Little Dog", like Bernard

Six Sault albums to vote for now. What's the record for most albums in the 77 in a single year?

Real Lies winning would be excellent even if it's not really my bag, but it would be a unique ilm pick in a year with so many huge & obvious contenders in it

Just a suggestion to give the Rachel Podger Bach-cello-suites-on-violin a shot. Gut strings, recorded in a big room, and a superior (in my opinion) performance to the Gandelsman
― flamboyant goon tie included, Tuesday, 1 November 2022 16:41 (one year ago) link
interesting! Is the -on-violin approach something people have done before with the suites (I am a classical naif)?

I'm not personally aware of too many violin recordings of the Bach cello suites. Podger's was the first I heard, and I think it's divine. Gut strings really seal the deal for me, steel E-strings are just too strident for my taste for this kind of adaptation.
Podger cheats in the 6th suite; she overdubs viola notes for the missing lower C-string stuff. Gandelsman, in contrast, performs the "4-string viola adaptation", but up a fifth (in D-major, i.e. the original key).
Rather than type forever about it, I'd just recommend to also check out Lillian Fuchs's wonderful performance of the cello suites on the viola. Her 6th suite in particular is miraculous; Pablo Casals is said to have remarked that it was, at the time of its recording, the best rendition of it, and superior to his own. Her performance is Romantic in technique but unsentimental, sits nicely next to the Milstein recording of the violin sonatas and partitas imo

i think their flirtation with radical zionism may have hurt them a bit, i know my read on a lot of their lyrics/vibe went from "hmm, gnomic" to "oh these guys are actually dumb."

I'm not sure scheduling, then canceling amidst the inevitable backlash, a couple of ill-advised shows in Israel (where, incidentally, one of the band members actually lives) is the same as a "flirtation with radical zionism" but go off.
