Reaching out to Saturn to get me through a couple hours work that could have been completely avoided had client had brain plugged in. Being a freelancer means never getting to say, "You're the one who screwed it up, you fix it." [/pissy]
Daniel posted a "satanic" remix of a viral you tube song called "friday" over at the other place, and I'm trying to wash both out of my brain now. This may do the trick.
Doofy, if you know of a job where you can say, "You're the one who screwed it up, you fix it," I'd love to hear more about it.
Still on From Bone to Satellite after an interruption. Just wanted to add that while most of the album is OK, Steede Bonnet (youtube link) is one of those simply perfect pieces of music.
Second play - a range of styles but linking together his West African roots to Western guitar music, including blues. A fascinating concept given that much western guitar based music, and especially the Blues, can trace its lineage back to West Africa. The title track, The Secret, also features his late father Ali Farka Toure. This is the nearest to traditional Malian music. I also really like All The Same featuring Dave Matthews. A great album IMO
I've only been streaming "Attention Please" so far, I liked it but this is probably more pop'ish than a Boris fan would expect. - I might grab this one. . .
Right now:
- Well ?. . . definitely some good "Heavy Rocks" tracks on this one.
Each track from The Beatles Rubber Soul album is interpreted by a leading British folk artist/band
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the release of (arguably) The Beatles' folkiest album Rubber Soul, a tribute from the cream of the folk music community of the British Isles.
All the artists taking part did so with a huge amount of enthusiasm, some immediately drawn to the classics from the album, others relishing the challenge of the more oblique. In each case the artist was given a completely free hand. Some interpretations are faithful, albeit acoustic versions of the original; others have taken the opportunity to give a completely new feel to the song.
From Ralph McTell's Michelle, complete with accordion and ukuleles, to June Tabor's unaccompanied rendition of In My Life, this is a remarkable collection which illustrates not only the great writing skills of The Beatles, but also the inventiveness and creativity of British folk artists.
Personnel: Pharoah Sanders (tenor saxophone); Leon Thomas (vocals, percussion); James Spaulding (flute); Julius Watkins (French horn); Lonnie Liston Smith (piano); William Hart , Frederick Waits, Billy Hart (drums); Nat Bettis (percussion). Also a great deal at CD Universe.
I think "The Creator Has a Master Plan" would be an outstanding track for the Rapture Radio Preacher to listen to.
Coming down the coast from New England back to North Carolina on the New Jersey Turnpike, our car was nearly struck by a blown tire flying through the air. At that point, I needed something up beat to change the mood: Bellowhead's Hedonism, an album I've mentioned here several times.
Not thirty second into the second song, my son says from the back seat, "Play 'New York Girls' again." Ok, why not?
"Daddy, could you play 'New York Girls' again." Alright.
Twenty minutes later, stuck in traffic due to an accident, "Daddy, I want to hear 'New York Girls can't you dance the polka." The wife obliges this time to back it up to hear the song for the fifth time.
Crawling slowly forward, the Delaware Memorial Bridge teasing me, "Again, again." Back to song #1.
Ten minutes later, just over the bridge, I hear the boy singing, "Well away, eh eh, eh eh Annie/ Oh, you New York Girls, can't dance the polka."
Fifteen minutes later, on the umpteenth playing, the singing is getting clearer and louder: "Well, away, Santi ... ."
I couldn't say how many times I heard the same song play over and over, but it didn't stop until fifteen minutes into Maryland. He singing turned into yelling by that point.
The next day, leaving from the hotel in Virginia, "Daddy, I want to hear "New York Girls.'" So went the next hour.
There was other music on the trip--Johnny Cash, Let Me Tell You About the Blues, Clash, Specials, etc.--but nothing compared to the torture of listening to that one song. The boy has improved his singing, I will say.

I get to say: "You really screwed up. I can try to fix it, but it's going to cost a whole lot of money and I can't make any promises."
That's good to say too.

Awesomely good. I actually won the 3-disc set from Strut Records via Twitter...
The dollar bin can be a wonderful thing.
- Horrible cover, excellent music. . . . .

There's another Boris too - called "New Album" (tmt review) - but apparrently it's Japan only.
W00T!
I was curious who was on guitar in this great recording, and it turns out to be Sonny Sharrock.
Very good DL deal at CD Universe.

I think I like this more than when it came out - and I played my LP fairly regularly then!
