joanna newsom’s divers


i had missed this when it came out and then time flew by. i like it okay. it’s not as good as milk-eyed mender or the glorious lunacy that was Ys, but it’s nice and listenable. the one i can’t stand is have one on me— this album is tons better than that, but not her best.

it’s perhaps too much too good drum, but the harp works as a kind of separate percussion of its own (sort of like a piano)

Not sure how I ended up with this?

 

probably a result of the brick to the head

Jim O'Rourke's cover of "Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands", from:



DAMN can O'Rourke make great ambiance (don't want to restrict it by saying "ambient") sounds. In other hands this would be another folktronicrap botched patchwork; in Jim's, it's a whole — the acoustic guitar, the noises, the Gabriel-ish vocals. Brilliant.

That wasn’t Pink Floyd!

Believe it was a label perk for ordering multiple tapes?

Next up: Morher - Guilt Of Man

This is on Dubbed Tapes out of London and dubbed on a Hank Williams, Jr. Rowdy cassette and it sounds fantastic. The dubbed tape hiss adds to the haunting Bjork-ish voice:

 

 

a morcheeba playlist that apple put together



a very pleasurable way to start chilling into the evening

Not only does Dubbed Tapes record new material over old cassette tapes, they also create new artwork on top of old. My copy of -Guilt Of Man- is over the top of, Asia - Then & Now

 

 

Extremely Old Soft-Synth to start the morning.

 

some sweet uplifting music to start the day with
