Given the credits in the LP I purchased as well, I have to think the sandwich line stuff is probably Mike Patton. Only place I can identify that would be him, and it does sound like him.

Sounds like something he'd say too. As soon as I saw the words "Mike Patton" I was like "oh, ok. Makes sense."

Really great broken psych

I haven't been inspired to listen to anything remotely new basically for the past 2 months. sometimes I just feel like there's too much music. it's overwhelming and daunting.

classic rock is keeping me company though. most of this stuff I haven't listened to since god knows when but it still holds up.

forgot how amazing this album was. not new at all, but fuck it.

call the doctor, my scrotum just disintegrated.

new lp & ep coming

to be honest, this was released in late december of 2013. But this is possibly the new album I've listened to the most so far this year, besides Silver Mt. Zion.

Listen and/or buy it here: http://anonymouschoir.com/album/anon...-the-gold-rush

The lead singer is Nona, who's most known as the lead singer of Dark Dark Dark



Another album I don't own yet, but probably soon will is this one:



3 CD's worth of live CSNY. The 1974 tour was probably not their best, but it's still got some very fine performances on it.

You sound like you need a good old fashioned kick in the balls no-nonsense modern no-wave masterpiece that grabs you by the balls immediately and doesn't require much thought. I know how you feel. It's why Black Bug's Reflecting The Light felt like a gift from the gods last year.

Might I suggest the album "9 Songs" by new comers Dub Thompson?
It didn't get a lot of recognition, but I had it ranked in my top five of the year before I was finished listening to the first half for the first time.

Different kind of gift from god than Black Bug's industrial post-punk horror onslaught; more of a tape hissy, lofi-til-we-die, classic no-wave noise-rock record. Really an impressive offering from such a young band.

On the inner cover of the digipack pressing from Dead Oceans, it has a photo of the two band members frenching. Two nerdy dudes making out. You can tell that they have what it takes to be a memorable force in indie punk.

DUB THOMPSON - 9 SONGS (@Boomkat)

Ambarchi / Campbell / Flower - Live at TUSK Festival 2013 kicks ass.

Likewise the cassette reissue of last year's self-titled La Morte Young LP (nb - that isn't a mis-spelling).

I've been feeling that way for about the past 5 years so I decided fuck the new shit, I'm just going to continue to enjoy the several hundred albums I currently own and selectively add a handful a year of what really really grabs my attention. My brain is at max capacity like Kelly Bundy and frankly I'm not interested in replacing the music that is already in my brain with new music.

that is a fucking dope description

Songs of Forgiveness

Droning shoegazer soundscapes, stare at the stars music

Promo copy's been blowing up my speakers for two days straight.

I called it. These guys don't fuck around... They will be big.

New Shabbazz Palaces is fucking insane too.

Someone once argued passionately in favor of SPs being the "Radiohead of Hip-Hop." At the time I said "nah, it's FlyLo or Kanye or Dilla" but Lese Majesty actually sounds like fucking Radiohead at moments! Beyond that, it even sounds like fucking Liars sometimes! It's almost a non-hip-hop specific affair, really.

I thought Black Up! was an excellent album; but I definitely liked it more in 2011 than I do now. I blame my homies LOUDER & NOISEREDUCTIONS for pulling me out of my “avant-hip-hop only!” phase and back into an unapologetic appreciation of any & all hip-hop that made my brain feel good, regardless of how mainstream it is, or how “shallow” the über-literati white male masses may feel it may be. It's hard to be a hip-hop purist, since so much of the political/collective/underground shit is so much less appealing than the baller anthems about "F**kin' Problems," whether or not "bitches" are among one's f**kin' problems, and to what extent these bitches exasperate already f**kin' problematic relationships by being gold-diggers. :)


Anyway, the album was good, but it was a little too overhyped for me to stomach, especially at the regional level. I've had some very public feuds with friends of mine from the Pacific Northwest, who post memes comparing SP lyrics to the chorus of "She Lives You" and offering it up as evidence that Shabazz Palaces are better than the Fucking Beatles. Seriously. The meme's are clearly a joke, like the Lil Wayne "a mili" sheet music vs. John Coltrane's A Love Supreme.... Pure hokey dumb bullshit, but those Washington folks will actually make serious arguments about SB being more influential than the god damn Beatles!!! I mean, yeah it was a good record, but even the suggestion that the two are comparable is an insult. Both to Sp's (who I'm sure don't feel that they are superior to the Beatles) and to the people who like them but DON'T think they walk on water.

Why? Seattle has produced so many great bands that have been utterly passed over by the hippest hipsters alive. Why SP's?

Anyway the new album is fucking good. They're not he Beatles though, so I apologize if any of you had your hopes up about hat one.

NoCorner just released a compilation of three previously cassette-only releases by El Kid, Filter Dread and Lily - essential grime/techno/bass stuff

My top 5 of 2014 so far:

5) Container - Adhesive : (Industrial Techno) I'm not usually into this stuff but its so damn good. Can't resist shaking myself around like crazy everytime I put it on.

4) Yvette Young - Acoustics: (Acoustic math rock) This girl can play guitar like nothing I've ever heard. Her voice is a bit too 'disney princess' but the songs are so good I don't even care anymore.

3) Fire! Orchestra! - Enter!: (Jazzy Experimental rock?) Interesting stuff on this I like the jazziness.

2) Ichiko Aoba - 0% ((avant) folk, field recordings): Japanese live album of another acoustic guitarist. Listen if only for 'IMPERIAL SMOKE TOWN' you won't regret it.

1) Langdon Alger - Following the lizard queen (anti folk/folk punk/weird folk): An acoustic EP written from the perspective of an unknown simpsons character who becomes obsessed with Lisa Simpson, going to extreme lengths to stalk her. Can't recommend highly enough I think its only like a quid on bandcamp.

Bob Dylan & The Band - The Bootleg Series Vol. 11: The Basement Tapes Complete

This is the shit. This is IT. This is a world unto itself. Mr. Lee R. and I will hole ourselves for weeks in our homes diggin' this box set, even though we both have the unofficial release (on the Scorpio label, I believe).

There's also been a couple of new live Lou Reed albums released this year, but their procedence seems rather... dubious:

Thinking Of Another Place (on Easy Action)
Winter At The Roxy (Goldfish Records -> :confused:)

This is also coming soon:
Lou Reed: Hassled in april
http://www.levykauppax.fi/artist/ree..._in_april/#2lp

I'm afraid that, now that he's gone, Lou's discography is starting to bloat up with all these semi-legit live recordings (if they're semi at all).

Holy shit...
I downloaded the A Tree With Roots bootleg set a while ago (4 discs) but this seems to have even more material. Incredible stuff.

I'm tellin' ya! This is the motherfuckingload! The archival release to end all archival releases!

Well, there has come last years same kind of releases from Dr. John & Tom Waits & they´re both still alive. Tom Waits even doesn´t like at all any unlegal releases from his material. At least Discogs says one Tom Waits Let them eat vinyl release unofficial.

Anyway I ordered that Hassle in April, just because I like Street Hassle-album a lot and also it comes with blue vinyls.

You and Mr. Lee R. Huh? Hmm. What are you trying to say here Soup Nazi? You ever been in the greatest band of all time by any chance? Maybe as a founding member? Just curious ;)

I have The Stooges' You Don't Want My Name, You Want My Action 4CD set and A Thousand Lights, both on Easy Action and of great historical significance (at least for the Stooges fan... nah, strike that - for every true rock fan, goddammit!). I understand these are not illegal releases and I'm hoping Ig has gotten his share of coins from them, but I've read there have been issues in this regard with EA and Bomp! Don't really know the fine details, though, so I reserve my right to contradict everything I've said with the exception of my opinion on the two titles I mentioned, which are BITCHEN.

Quite unfortunately, no. I was just thinking about what self-described "super Dylan freak" Mr. Lee R. had on his iPod nano, which you can check by scrolling down just a bit on this thread.

By the way, this one's most certainly downloadworthy, just in case you missed it:

Robyn Hitchcock 2014-05-23 Basement, Sydney, Australia - Dylan’s Basement Tapes live at the Basement - aud w/samples

I have double vinyls from Tom Waits & Dr. John released by Let them eat vinyls. Both have only few pictures, not much information (some of it is incorrect). But the most important, music is just great & mostly ok quality. I also have Stooges Gimme Some Skin-vinyl that I think is bootleg. The sound quality in b-side is quite poor.

Today is very hard to say which is bootleg & which is not, I have bought all these vinyls from official record shops.

which Tom Waits album is that? I read there's a rerelease of Rain Dogs in high-fidelity SHM-SACD format. So I assume that's legit otherwise how would they be able to use the original masters?

In other news the new Yob album will be released this week. Should be worth checking out. The one new track on youtube is quite promising.

I goddamn love Tom Fucking Waits.

Me too! :D
