Tobacco – Maniac Meat (2010)

IT LEAKED! Hurry! It’ll be gone soon.

John Henry Calvinist – Shackles First To Fit (2000)

I’ve seen some pretty whacked out youtube videos, as I’m sure we all have, but amidst the most memorable is the one below: What does this have to do with any album that is worth posting anywhere? Well, imagine translating this sensory experience into solely sound – or, if this video isn’t to your liking, [...]

Gospel – The Moon Is A Dead World

I’m seeing Gospel tonight with Kayo Dot. I actually think I’m more excited for these guys, who have been one my favorite bands as of late, when I’ve been listening to a lot more hardcore and screamo. Whatever genre you put them in, they’re definitely one of my favorites. Mixing Yes-style prog rock and heavy [...]

Charles Mingus – Mingus Ah Um

My last two posts have been made while I was drunk. I’m high tonight.

and finally…

Sixty Metonymies by Tartar Lamb For fans of kayo Dot. This is a side project involving Kayo Dot’s main man Toby Driver, their  violinist Mia Matsumiya and Tim Byrnes on trumpet. The Project was formed to perform and record Toby’s long-form violin and electric guitar duet, “60 Metonymies,”.

Mark Hollis

Former Talk Talk lead singer Mark Hollis released one self titled solo album after the latter bands demise mostly due to the contract with Polydor. Similar in style to the final two Talk Talk albums although the arrangements on this one are more stripped down.

In fact their music is similar to the UK post rock scene. Without Mercy is their most ambitous and best release. If [...]

Da Kreator Has A Masta Plan

Amazing free jazz courtesy of Mr. Farrell ‘Pharoah’ Sanders. “Karma’ and ‘Black Unity’ are essential for any decent jazz collection. Africa Black Unity Jewels Of Thought Karma Save Our Children Tauhid

Warren Zevon – Excitable Boy

This album is alright. You should maybe download it and I dunno listen to it or something. Yeah…….. Download

Mulatu Astatke – New York – Addis – London: The Story of Ethio Jazz 1965-1975

I have a habit of scrounging through peoples’ shoutboxes. Last year I indirectly happened upon someone’s blog within which this album was posted, and I soon absolutely came to treasure it. Mulatu Astake is known as the father of Ethio-Jazz, and for those of you who are fans of the Ethiopiques compilations, you may recognize [...]
