What are you listening to 2017

i listen to this constantly. it speaks to the music of my soul. Takako Minekawa "Maxi On" (2000). very pretty and childlike psychedelic keyboard pop with vintage synths. sort of in the vein of Devo but with more Eno and Ono. that early 2000s love for retro synths is all-time.

have not heard Approximate Infinite Universe. i love that album cover. what is it like?

i am listening to Feeling the Space right now it has a very solid 70s rnb soul pop studio sound and arrangements. it has Yoko writing beautiful and deep songs. Growing Pain, Woman of Salem, Run, Run, Run, Woman Power. by this point in time she was a more productive songwriter than her husband. she had a really keen ear for pop songcraft and she used her large platform to make this revolutionary feminist noise punk pop music. Yoko Ono is so cool.

first play, but really liking this. voice is remarkably unchanged, given his travails, from Only Ones days.

I was curious about that too but I can't imagine the Steve Hoffman forums will be checking in on those except to be racist and misogynist and complain that she broke up the Beatles

I went down a Charlie Haden wormhole this weekend, and amongst some other rather lovely things it lead me to discover Egberto Gismonti and his wonderful Solo album from '79, which I have been playing non-stop since.

And Haden's Silence is such a beautiful song, and the Dino Salluzzi bandoneon version is very haunting as well.

and Gismonti's Sol Do Meio Dia is another delight.

Charlie Haden is a fine place to go exploring. Ornette's Crisis brings chills, and his acoustic and electric work with Keith Jarrett...looks like I need to cue up some Charlie. I also love the rowdier stuff like Liberation Music Ochestra. Golden Number, Quartet West. The trio with Geri Allen & Paul Motian. Arbour Zena with Jarrett. From free jazz, to bebop, to gospel, American folk songs, there wasn't anything he could not be rock solid on. DAMN. Hours upon hours upon hours of Charlie Haden.

^^^

Absolutely spot on j arthur, I couldn't agree with a post more!

My go to Haden is his "Closeness" Duets album - particularly 'Turiya' his tribute to Alice, which breaks me up.

"Last Dance" together with Keith Jarrett has a great relaxed vibe.

Velvet Underground 10/1/69
Wish my computer wouldn't keep losing this hard drive but got it back for the time being and therefore able to listen to this.
Wisha lot more John Cale era material would miraculously appear. But this is great enough.

how is that williams & corbett record?

funny. corny. sparse. insect improv. 50's sci-fi & scratched mambo lps, but somehow good (cos if ever there were some worn out touchstones). think incus chadbourne bailey

Jane Weaver 18/5/17 Hare & Hounds Birmingham.
Live set by psychedelic-y singer. I think I need to pick up the lps but this has just appeared on Dime.

This Shay Roselip EP is hitting all the right notes

have not heard Approximate Infinite Universe. i love that album cover. what is it like?

in a similar mode to feeling the space, though the emphasis is more on the rock side of things (elephants memory backing vs. the session dudes on fts). also: ballads, strings & funk!
