//e.snmc.io/lk/f/l/24a25e762ea0add1b86da4668a467769/1980470.jpg
interesting folk/soul whatever lp by girl with a weird semi-tuneful smokey voice that I find quite compelling.

John Gordon Armstrong - Music for Solo Guitar
Yamantaka//Sonic Titan - Dirt
Alvvays - Antisocialites
Itasca - Morning Flower
Planning for Burial - Below the House
Smashing Pumpkins - 1991-06-22
Rush - "Caravan"
Ex Eye - Ex Eye

i have been listening to so much alvvays, it's been ridiculous

Nils Frahm - All Melody
Nortt - Endeligt
Blush Response - Infinite Density

Mostly Brooklyn Raga Massive's version of In C

but also Band of Gypsys

add that Planning for Burial album to my list. that’s outstanding.

also benoit delbecq trio's "ink" is a proper treat. cage's sonatas & interludes reframed as a congolese p bley/ guaraldi workout

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds copenhagen 20/10/17
the concert that is featured in the concert film Distant Sky was circulated via torrent sites presumably before most people had heard of a forthcoming concert film.
This was apparently the first stadium tour by the band. You can see the size of the venue in the film.
Energy/intensity level throughout seems to be pretty high.
Very good performance.

Not sure if the band changed the tracks played much over the tour. Looked like a few of the sets I have from last year have pretty similar setlists.

Runa Laila - "Shahbaz Qalander", off of Showcase South Asia

very different from the rest of the comp, but it's 24 amazing minutes of not italo-disco

an hour of ambient stuff mixed/edited etc by the black dog.
just what i needed today.

Kenny Wheeler - Gnu High and Deer Wan albums back to back. Just what I needed this hungover morning.

Got only 3 weeks to make a cool Afrobeat music for my thesis, and boy, have I been on a search roller coaster. Gotta find some African music beats ASAP and then I got hooked to this page popularly called Naija Free Beats. Still on the thesis thing, but everyday, I keep going back for some listening and relaxation pleasure. Also have some cool collections from Soundcloud as well. :)

love these albums, this is the only living jazz pianist who makes me think of Mal Waldron. For some strange reason his quite jaunty version of They Say It's Wonderful brings me to the verge of blubbing.

A good'un

Love Cowley!

I've been listening to the first two Wishbone Ash albums a lot. They're pretty good.

massaman gai, I'll need to check that out. Taylor Bynum was a classmate of mine back in Brookline, MA. We were both in the HS jazz band, lol.
