Thanks, Germanprof! This is the ideal accompaniment to a rainy Friday morning.

Great background music for some work reading - I'm sure though Miles Davis wouldn't have liked the idea of this being background music!

@greg, Kind of Blue doesn't work well for me as background music - I keep having to listen.

Smashing Pumpkins - Machina II

I had lost interest in the Pumkins by the time this came out, and I wasn't yet very attuned to downloading things, so this totally flew by me unnoticed. Sounds pretty good now though. Still available free.

@greg I think about that sometimes for music that I listen to for certain tasks: Jazz, classical, electronic, anything without words for when I read, write, grade, etc.

then again I was listening to this at this gym this morning and wondering if I looked kind of crazy laughing to myself:

amclark2 - Where is Machina II at? I looked for it at the time, but couldn't find it.



drip.fm rules. Mark E. Smith singing over idm? Yes, please.

He did this with a broken thumb? Wow.

Craig: http://archive.org/details/machina.II.ver.Virgin. The wikipedia article on the album has a bunch of other links too.

Germanprof

@Craig, quite. He is developing a history of turning limitations into compositional devices. On the last album it was that he wanted to play late in the night without disturbing folk in the neighboring apartments - that gave rise to the sound of Felt. This time it's having nine available fingers. If he gets stuck for ideas for the next album he's going to have to ask someone to incapacitate him in some way.

amclark2

He could make it a kick starter! Donation of $1,000 or more gets to incapacitate me...

Germanprof

Scary thought. Sort of like a more radical version of Yoko ono's cut piece.

(Three of Panabrite's albums have landed on emusic. Nice stuff. They can be streamed here)

When is a bargain not a bargain? Bought as an el cheapo special in July, just realized I never listened to it.

Sounds great though!

Bad Thoughts

greg

Re - comments about music when reading, assessing/grading etc. I need to have something on that I know well, ie something that may not distract me too much, but I have always, since 6th Form (final two years of school) played music when working. I'll often, eg, play a Beatles album then.

Bad Thoughts

I've watched this three times now ... it's brilliant (though it might overstate JD's contribution to urban postmodernism).

greg

Just downloaded, thanks Jonah from Jazz Picks

Bad Thoughts

Quirky, humorous takes on traditional story songs. I'm streaming from True North. Five songs are available at NoiseTrade.
