Musicophilia Blog (by that guy who did '1981') Updates Thread

the rivalry started on the 1981 thread

FYI

This whole bimble/I.M. exchange is pretty bizarre.

Hmm, you must have a better memory than me : )

Bimble and I have pretty significant divergence in taste, I'd say--he goes in for the sub-Joy Divisiony vein of post-punk a lot, whereas that's pretty my my least fave. But a difference doesn't constitute a rivalry. He's certainly passionate about what he likes, and I respect that.

is that why you took 1981 as reference year? to avoid the dilemma of having to choose joy division songs? come to think of it, that is the main disadvantage of 1981 from my pov. that there is no joy division. besides that it is a phantastic year. i suppose there was at least one new order song on your compilation cds. the three compilations you posted didn't have any yet though iirc. somehow i have the feeling we had this discussion already.

btw i am looking forward to listen to that late 60s/early 70s miniatures mix tonight.

I like Joy Division themselves just fine, though they probably wouldn't make my top 30 or 40 post-punk acts--and I will admit freely to much preferring New Order, generally. I just don't generally care for the stuff that was clearly "inspired" by Joy Division's (and early Factory's) influence, like Crispy Ambulance or the Pin Group or five thousand other groups doing po-faced theatrical dourness with sort of bleating vocals and overwrought lyrics. (That's not how I'd describe Joy Division's music, mind, but with a few exceptions, that's how their follower-bands tend to sound to me).

Hmm--so the most recent mix ('Les Miniatures, Volume 3') was apparently taken down, or became inaccessible through some glitch. I've re-upped it, for anyone who wasn't able to get it. I hope this doesn't become recurrent. . .

i don't care for the bands inspired by joy div neither. i think i hardly ever cared for bands which were mainly influenced by the sound of one other band. that's not innovative, that's boring. i don't look for pale copies of originals. probably nobody does. but joy division themselves are my favourite band in between punk and post-punk. they transformed their explorations of the dark regions of the human soul into incredibly powerful music.

True, any carbon-copy (or to be period-appropriate, I guess we should say Xerox) is bound to be dead-boring. But the sort borne of cult-of-personality can be extra icky. The main thing to me is that the Joyless Division wannabes just never sound like they're having any fun at all--which can't be said of Joy Division themselves.

Undance to the radio.

Two month anniversary of the blog today, and I discovered I have stats on downloads: just over 1,140! That is really great, far more than I imagined. Hope that means you are liking the music!

I'm very excited about the several 'Le Tour du Monde' volumes I've got going right now, as well as the three more 'Les Miniatures' mixes already finished (shy of artwork). Thinking the 'Heart' mix next for the 1981 set--but then what? Anyone have any requests, feedback, ideas, etc.?

Thanks, everyone!

keep upping the 1981 volumes please because i had the entire set stolen from my car in 2006

actually, the set wasn't stolen from my car. my car was stolen with the set in it.

maybe a group of car thieves has been totally schooled on 1981 post punk

Ouch, I'm sorry someone stole your car just to get a handmade box set. The addiction to music can be so sad sometimes. . .

You pick the next one, then, since you've been so harshly deprived ; )

I put up a few polls to get a sense of what people like or don't about the blog, the mixes, etc. Obviously it's not very important, but if anyone is bored--I'd really appreciate your participation.

i'm quite pleased with the "heart" mix being uploaded next

Cutty--

'Heart' it will be, then. Got a preference after that?

The results from the polls I put up have been really interesting--thanks to everyone for participating so far.

• Unsurprisingly, a lot of my visitors seem to be ILMers, which is great. Decent numbers have found it through other blogs or from friends, though, which is neat.
• A good number of over 40s, all the rest so far between 26-40--so, damn, old weird 70s stuff and post-punk aren't huge with the youngster set (or maybe I just haven't pimped it on MySpace enough).
• Getting visitors from mostly North America, unsurprisingly; but also Europe and Asia.
• Good news to me: there seems to be large crossover appeal between the post-punk stuff and the earlier 70s stuff (and maybe the weirder heavily-mixed stuff), not just factions coming for one or the other too much.
• Also great news: lots of people are finding stuff that's new to them, and a good majority are buying new music as a result! Take that, RIAA.
• People don't seem to think I'm posting mixes to often. That's cool, though I doubt I'll always keep up the rate of one mix every four days.
• "Late 70s-Early 80s" is winning "favorite years for music" by a wide margin, "Early-Mid 70s" next. That fits the blog's M.O. pretty well.
• Surprisingly, people want to hear "Pretty stuff in general" from the blog next, in terms of territory not yet covered. Hmm. . .
• Most shockingly, people seem to think the hype-blurbs I'm writing help them get interested in the music. I admit, they're getting harder to write, and I'm no writer to begin with. But I'll keep trying.

where do you find the time, ian?

Well, fortunately most of the mixes I've posted I'd already made before the blog.

But basically right now my career is in a lull, so I figure if I'm going to be wasting time, I should at least waste it with music that helps other people waste time, too.

whoa, didn't even know about this. i'm linking to it via my blog.

This whole bimble/I.M. exchange is pretty bizarre.

cutty, you aren't the only one who remembered this important moment in history.

Hey i, hope Portland's treating you well.

Poly-

Things are good. Hope things are ok in S.F.

Mike A.-
Thanks, hope you like it. I think we talked some back in the 1981 box set days, yes?

i love the bimble vs. soundslike rivalry

It seems as if my name is being evoked in this thread a little too often. ;)

I was thinking that even if there *were* a rivalry, it would be a pretty silly one because even if Ian & I share a love a post-punk, he's obviously interested in doing a different thing with his blog than I am with mine. I simply don't feel the same creative drive he feels to do mixes of stuff, for one thing. I've never put up mixes on my blog (although I did once put up a short list of songs on a mix I'd made for myself) and I don't see that changing any time soon. It's just not something I want to do. Further, as Ian has said, there are some pretty fundamental differences in musical taste. What was said earlier here about my tastes is true enough, but to be honest, I find myself veering off towards disco/funk/mid-80's R&B/club music and even early 80's Top 40 kind of stuff more and more, and I don't believe he's interested in any of that. By the same token, he's into a lot of non-post-punk stuff that I'm not interested in.

So hey, you know, "two great tastes that taste great together" or whatever, apples & oranges, etc. There's plenty of room for both of us is the way I see it.

In the very off chance anyone is interested, I posted two albums of my own work today.

Hope to have a new 'Le Tour du Monde' volume up tomorrow morning, stuff from 1969-1972.

New mix is up: the third 'Le Tour du Monde' compilation. A dark and spooky one, liberal with the beats.

Rough translation, back cover text:
“You can feel the change. It’s happening in France. . . but it’s also happening in every corner of the planet! Come with us on a journey to The United States, to Germany, to Russia, to Greece, Nigeria, Israel, England, Japan, Romania, Italy, Ghana—come on a world tour! It’s the whole world, a new revolution on a twelve-inch platter! Feel the funky rhythms, ride the shimmering strings, bounce with the bass, know the new sound, hear the new voice. This is your time, this is our time—on Le Tour du Monde!”

Reiussue Notes:
We at the Musicophilia reissue program are proud to bring you another killer package from France’s revered Musique du Monde: ‘Le Tour du Monde, Volume 4′. Another trip around the world from the hippest compilers and listeners at the dawn of the 70s—fifteen countries worth of the Moog-laden, Rhodes-fed, breaks-filled, string-kissed bliss-outs, futurist pop concoctions, mellow moods, and jazzy freak-outs. By 1971, Musique du Monde was in full stride, releasing some of the best (and today, rarest) sound library records in France, but with a growing reputation amongst the cognescenti for their compiling chops through the ‘Le Tour’ and ‘Les Miniatures’ series, released in limited quanties direct to DJs, record store and club owners, and occasionally as scarce commercial releases. And already their ethos of seeing no borders—neither national nor sonic—was in full swing. So on ‘Volume 4,’ with tracks spanning 1968 to early 1971, you’ll find a Greek cover of “All Along the Watchtower;” a Japanese cover of Jefferson Airplane’s “Greasy Heart,” and a sunshine-pop cover of “Peace Train;” Vladimir Ussachevsky and Gyorgy Ligeti alongside Isaac Hayes, Bill Fay and Jorge Ben; high-life from Ghana, and Afrobeat from Nigeria; Yoko Ono presaging Big Star; unique takes on funk from Italy, Germany, and Australia alongside Miles Davis breaking it down hard with Sonny Sharrock; foundational synth-pop from Jean-Jacques Perrey, Gershon Kingsley, and Hugo Montenegro; and unreleased or rare (at the time) demos and singles from Can, Nico, the Velvet Underground, Bruno Spoerri, and Curtis Mayfield, among others. ‘Volume 4′ transports us not just through many places but wholly to another time, when possibilities were infinite and boundaries were for breaking. We may never regain the openness to change and hopeful eagerness for the future that Musique du Monde captures here—but it remains, now as then, “our time” to enjoy, our “new sound” to experience. — I. Sonnecomme, December, 2008

Musicophilia

Seems the upload for 'Volume 4' was down last night--I've re-upped, should work now.

I'm listening to the Complicity stuff now. It's mostly really, really good. It's been awhile since I appreciated music that sounds like this. It's funny I've had Aphex Twin's SAWII on my iPod for weeks waiting for the moment when I'll want to hear it again and I ended up just taking it off my iPod! But some of this Complicity stuff really fills a need. I like that you used the sound of rain...I heard something else like that recently that made me want to pull out THAT Cure song, but I didn't.

5th disc from the 1981 set is up:

One of the best in the set, with many of the strongest tracks of the year, in my opinion. Give a listen.

I'm listening to the Complicity stuff now. It's mostly really, really good. It's been awhile since I appreciated music that sounds like this. It's funny I've had Aphex Twin's SAWII on my iPod for weeks waiting for the moment when I'll want to hear it again and I ended up just taking it off my iPod! But some of this Complicity stuff really fills a need. I like that you used the sound of rain...I heard something else like that recently that made me want to pull out THAT Cure song, but I didn't.

Thanks a lot, Bimble. I'm glad you like it. The weird thing is, when I recorded it, I hadn't heard Aphex Twin (nor Tangerine Dream nor early Cluster. . .) so I'm not sure where to think it fits in.

I just listened to that Heart disc last week -- probably my favorite in terms of mix/flow on that 1981 set! Especially that you put the best-known Talking Heads track right there in the middle, instead of picking something more obscure. It's kind of like you can hear about a hundred different musical elements from 1981 coalesce triumphantly into that one song. Anyway, it made me hear "Once In A Lifetime" in a whole new way, which is saying something, since that song is pretty much inescapable.

Tyler--

I couldn't not include "Once in a Lifetime"--it's one of the few post-punk tracks I remember from my childhood, having a very strong emotional response to it (the video in particular). I was an odd kid, I guess, but as a kid, all I heard was a joyous feeling in it, obviously the satirical or critical elements, the "how is this my life, this is not what I expected" elements didn't reach me. And I still like to try to imagine it with a purely earnest spin, more seeing ones life and being astonished that one is surrounded by beauty. But you're right--it's pretty much got a lot of the best qualities of post-punk rolled up into one--sort of funny that I loved Talking Heads as a 13-17 year old, but never really had any inkling they were part of a broader picture. It still comes back to them for me, now that I've heard hundreds and hundreds of their compatriots. I'm glad the context made it feel new for you, that's everything I could hope for when I include things everyone already knows in mixes.

Thanks for the blog, Soundslike. I'm really enjoying the Tour Du Monde stuff in particular.

Glad you like it, Daniel. A third series, besides 'Le Tour du Monde' and 'Les Miniatures,' is about to be discovered from the Musique du Monde label from a few years later I hope you'll like. . .

Do I know you?

Haha beautiful goth sleeve for the Somnambulist! AWESOME. ;)

Okay finally found the link for the Somnabulist 3 mix. My god you don't make it easy!

like, in real life?

I don't know what you mean by that. Sorry.

i wasn't talking to you, bimble.

but i love you, too

Haha okay sorry. Kate Bush fans need to stick together, anyway. :)

also you should love me for posting that cocteau twins video that you jizzed all over

This has gone south quickly. . .

Not in real life--at all?

i bought the 1981 set from you when it came out. you've spoken to me upthread and in the 1981 thread. i've been on ILX for a long time. i don't understand your question, really.

what would knowing me entail?
