2023.03.28 T – Tokyo Police Club, Elephant Shell (2008): Bandcamp announced re-press. Love this and band album. A guilty pleasure.

2023.03.27 M – Evolution of Afro Surinamese Kawina with Tash LC: Not really an album but great youtube watch/listen.
2023.03.27 M – Kali Uchis, Red Moon in Venus (2023): Poppy backroundy but might have been because I listened to it in the background.
2023.03.27 M – Owiny Sigoma Band by Owiny Sigoma Band (2023): Loved “Wires“.

2023.03.18 S – Teebs, Collections 01 (2011): Hard to not dig this. While You Dooooo (Extended)
20223.03.17 F – Souls of Mischief, Hiero Oldies: Volume One (2003): Cool album. Step To My Girl jumped out and realized it is sort of sampled in Vampire Weekend’s Step. Group talking about the song. Original original song by Grover Washington, Jr. is cool too.
2023.03.05 Su – The Good Samaritans, “No Food Without Taste If By Hunger” [1982]: We have now unearthed “No Food Without Taste If By Hunger” by “The Good Samaritans”, one of the most obscure Nigerian album ever recorded.

2023.02.16 R – Caroline Polachek, Desire, I Want to Turn Into You [2023] – Love it but a bit deflating after having these singles for months?
2023.02.05 Su – Paul Simon, There Goes Rhymin’ Simon [1973] – Listened to because of the connection to Muscle Shoals, AL and this mentioned in Miracle and Wonder. Also has American Tune on it: My favorite example is, do you remember the song, Come and Take Me to the Mardi Gras by him. They go to Muscle Shoals, Alabama, which is the famous R&B recording studio to record that song. He brings Jeter with him. He ships up from New Orleans, a brass band, The Onward Marching Band from New Orleans. And the song itself is a calypso tune. So we have a. White Jewish guy from Queens, New York, teams up with a gospel preacher from Harlem with a New Orleans brass band to go to Muscle Shoals, Alabama, to do a calypso song when he describes how all those pieces come together.
2023.02.04 S – King Tuff, Smalltown Stardust [2023] – music video
2023.02.02 W – Pino Palladino / Blake Mills: Notes With Attachments [2021]: Wow, loved this. Songs: Djurkel, Ekuté.
2023.01.29 Su – Etran de L’Aïr: Agadez [2022] – Wedding Band from Niger. “stars of the Aïr region.” A family band composed of brothers and cousins. This is music for dancing after all.
2023.01.25 W – Fela Kuti: Underground System (1992) – Fela often cited an “underground spiritual game” as a weapon with which to fight oppressive regimes and reactionary ideas. He used “underground system” to describe its evil opposite – the network of secret conclaves through which military and political elites conspired together to silence emergent leaders who threatened the status quo. Fela wrote the first draft of the rocket-fuelled title track as a tribute to Burkina Faso’s revolutionary leader, Thomas Sankara. The two men knew and liked each other: Sankara admired Fela’s music as much as Fela admired Sankara’s espousal of African values and commitment to radical social change. There was evidence that the Nigerian regime had been involved in Sankara’s 1987 assassination: the underground system had been at work.
2023.01.20 F – sir Was, Letter EP [2020] – went into constant repeat mode on this one.
2023.01.18 W – Raffy Bushman: E Minor String Quintet + Rhythm [2021] – Also a cool 5 minute doc.
2023.01.18 W – Oumou Sangaré: Timbuktu [2021] – “West African Music Fused with Blues, Funk, and Rock” and THIS. “Sachez que l’enfant d’une bonne personne peut ne pas lui être semblable.“
2023.01.18 W – The Whole World Window: Volume 1 [2022] – French Film Music feels like French film music! “Französische Filmmusik”

2022.12.04 Su – Richard Dawson: The Ruby Cord (Nov 2022) – “The Hermit” was a bit confusing but like album once it got to “Museum” (which for some reason brought to mind one of the themes from Elf) and then like “The Tip of an Arrow” and really liked “Horse and Rider.” I listened to this was driving across the Colorado plain towards Denver during sunset and saw this big freight train approach from distance then past like a Dune sandworm and the music felt appropriate. Disclaimer that I really did not dial in on the lyrics. Maybe I need to revisit.
2022.12.03 S – Ethel Cain: Preacher’s Daughter (May 2022): Finally listened to Preacher’s Daughter at recommendation of friend on drive to Des Moines. The album has some range! “American Teenager is good but as the single it was deceptive bc the rest of the album is quite different and less poppy”

2022.09.09 F – John Adams: Grand Pianola Music (1981) – youtube
2022.09.09 F – John Adams: The Chairman Dances (1985) – (Christian Zeal and Activity; Edo de Waart’s 1986 recording of the piece with the San Francisco Symphony (appearing on the 1987 album The Chairman Dances) replaced this interview with a looped, fragmented, non-chronological recording of a Christian sermon on a miracle of Jesus, the healing the man with a withered hand, centered on the words “Why would Jesus have been drawn to a withered hand?” This recording was used on the soundtrack of the 2010 film Shutter Island.)

2022.06.30 R – Gum Boots: Accordion Jive Hits Vol II – youtube comment from Heidi Berg, The Band name is “Gum Boots”. The Records are on GoGo Records. They have been scrubbed from the Earth by a certain multi-millionaire. Gum Boots – the band (which included ‘boyoyo boys” and others other others! ) put out many records. I have orig 3. They were made in 1980 and 1981. Probably a lot of other years too. / This is an amazingly long collection of their “Jive Accordion Hits” __ * But it does not contain the ultimately Scrubbed from the Planet Though it’s very interesting to hear the same players w/their joyful gorgeous sound on so many like-tracks. Tragic that the Rich are able to SQUASH the POOR. And then get heralded for being generous somehow… The cassettes always had full credits, song titles, producer, record company, and Art work pics on cover – Nonsense that it was ever a “Mystery”! It was not a Mystery — but NOW it’s a mystery 😉 It’s been Squashed. Thanks for this posting & hello back at you!

2022.01.24 M – Third Eye Blind, Third Eye Blind (1997)
2022.01.24 M – Maurice Ravel, La valse, M. 72 · Basque National Orchestra · Robert Trevino
- Alex Ross: Let the Basques’ rip-roaring rendition of Ravel’s “La Valse” stand in for the rest. It explodes with characterful touches: sinister noodling of bass clarinet, slashing cross-rhythms, kitschy swoops of portamento, concussive thuds on the bass drum. At the same time, Trevino maintains irresistible momentum, absorbing each detail into the general crescendo. “La Valse” was composed in the wake of the First World War, and conductors often make a point of enacting a brutal stampede toward catastrophe. Trevino doesn’t skimp on the menace, but he and his musicians keep swinging to the end, dancing into darkness.

- “You enjoy Bruckner?”
- “Yes. His Seventh Symphony. I always find the third movement particularly uplifting.”
- “I often listen to his Ninth Symphony,” I chimed in. Another pretty meaningless statement.
