The balearic beardo beach hippie album canon

^^ so the fact that there's standard definition of "balearic" that includes ibizan dance music means that somehow it's not okay to ask a music message board why the term is applied to tons of totally different music?

sorry i just didn't anticipate snark to what i thought was a fair question

it's ILM there's no escaping snark

don't harsh the vibe, chill bros

iziba dance music is tons of totally different music, is the pt

why the term is applied to tons of totally different music?

because 'balearic' djs play different styles of records

also it's confusing because it gets (mis)applied to hairy nu-disco dudes (lindstrom) and chillwave/indie rock (neon indian)

sorry
Let's all dance to this

Nah but he had a lot of greats.

Replace "Balearic" with "goth" and see if the idea of multiple strands of music sharing the same unified ~vibe~ is still confusing.

xp balearic is probs the most nebulous/numinous instance tbfttl... certainly a game i've never quite got the hang of anyway

leon lowman compilation from last year on music from memory is an all-around solid listen, surprised i haven't seen it mentioned in any EOY reissue lists. i think this is the most well-known track but seriously check out the whole damn thing

yes, good album

did you like the spike album, psych?

the snippets i've heard, yes! i keep forgetting to seek out a copy, seems like it should have some serious appeal beyond the types of people that usually spring for golf channel stuff

(^just to make it easy for lazy people like myself)

i guess spike is beardo but beyond that i really don't know how i'd categorize what he does. power pop? what i've heard is very rundgren, but fuzzier and more excited to just vibe out for a while

yeah, it's like minimal synth kraut power pop, lol

all with that warm hazy lo-fi production style, really nice

sounds like I need that in my life

spike is the bomb

i cant remember if this album was ever discussed itt or any other thread:

wow!

"Lihue" is a classic for sure. Never knew the rest of her stuff was so feted, though. Not really feeling the other soundclips on that link, tbh.

really? not even "livin' without you"? that's a real pretty song IMO.

when i was in hawaii about a decade ago, there were a few stations that still played a lot of local music, and more broadly a kind of hawaiian pop-music that included both hawaiian music like nohelani but also some "island-flavored" music of all kinds. was very refreshing to hear that unfamiliar mix of stuff (which still had plenty of familiar elements), speaking as someone from the 48 states.

i wonder how distinctive the musical culture of hawaii is today, and whether it's bucked the monoculture to any greater extent than most places.

if you like this stuff you should check out the aloha got soul DJs (google it)

I have a vinyl rip of that album, let me know through email if you want the files...

i like a lot of stuff mentioned in this thread but like some other folks i'm a little confused as to what the parameters of this expanded notion of "balearic" are or why we need this enlarged category.

this is what contemporary Hawaiian pop music sounds like mostly:

god bless this thread for leading me to Andreas Vollenweider's "AIR". this is like *just* what i needed in my life right now.

i also like that i can imagine richard simmons lulling me into blissful dreams.

Ah well. http://youtu.be/q00DOL2svl8

John Cale's Brian ode "Mr. Wilson" is smoother than a lot of his 70s, but intense, rolling through the deeps: I'd like to live in the strings break for a while...
funky 10CC Reminds me: a friend mentioned seeing Carlos Santana getting way into "I'm Not in Love." Will have to look for that.
Jimi's Rainbow Bridge soundtrack is fine as shroom wine---"Pali Grap" is one of my all-time faves, can imagine David Mancuso playing it at the Loft of Spiritual Discovery (I also have danced to it, I think)(Also watch the movie, incl. hashish in surfboards in Hawaii, where Jimi speaks of space brothers, before playing for them and Earth):

Amusing to see doheny’s “get it up for love” on this thread years before it’s yacht rock revival

Does gr80 still post on ilx?

Most of the tracks on here are still available (for me, in canada),still a great mix

Oh cool, thanks!
First tyme I saw this thread's title, I thought of Lindstrøm & Prins Thomas.

The title of this doc doesn't inspire confidence, and I dimly recall finding RB entertaining enough, one way or another, but yknow more music so I'll prob check it out too, at least the audio version:
Music, Money, Madness... Jimi Hendrix In Maui
Experience Hendrix and Legacy Recordings announce a brand new feature length documentary Music, Money, Madness... Jimi Hendrix In Maui with the accompanying live performances on both audio and video.

Incorporating never-before-released original film footage and new interviews, the film chronicles the Jimi Hendrix Experience’s storied 1970 visit to Maui, and how the band became ensnared with the ill-fated Rainbow Bridge movie.

The deluxe Blue-ray and 2CD or 3LP collections will be released on November 20 and are available for pre-order now with exclusive merch bundles available at the Authentic Hendrix Store.

The video and audio for “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)” from this historic concert is available today on digital services.
