Yeah, very catchy "stutter lyrics" - And besides, they are Danish.

An amazing blog for my University sports teams has adopted this track as the celebration song for a big win. Today The Hawkeye basketball team is ranked in the AP Top 25 for the first time since 2005-06, so I had to have my own celebration.
#5 from the Jazz Loft haul, Gerry Hebert - The Beat Niq Sessions, Vol. 2: Constructive Interference. Hebert plays sax, the quartet includes guitar as well. To my ear, this is a traditional jazz set, very enjoyable.
@Lowlife, no problem, glad to see you still posting at whatever volume. @BT, may the cold in you and in the world outside be mercifully brief. I had a weird one last week where I had a headache all day, sneezed three times at about 4 p.m. and then had a streaming nose and stuffed up sinuses for about four hours, and then it was gone again. Maybe the viruses are getting more creative.
I remember when Red Guitar came out as a single and hit my pop-tuned ears as really weird. Doesn't sound odd to me at all now. I suspect my reception of it was also colored by the fact that my 1984 self also thought the accompanying Anton Corbijn video was pretty strange, and not at all what a pop video was supposed to be like. Changed my mind on that too.
Never heard of Essie Jain, and don't usually listen to this genre, but was immediately intrigued by her voice on her track on the Leaf Label sampler above. Kez, your territory I think.
The Tied & Tickled Trio are Caspar Brandner (Lali Puna, Saroos), Andreas Gerth (Loopspool), Markus and Micha Acher (the Notwist) and Carl Oesterhelt.(FSK, Carlo Fashion). Since the 90's they combine jazz and electronics."
ETA 2: The Legendary Pink Dots - Seconds Late for The Brighton Line Redux - "2010.A new chapter for the Pink Dots as they became a trio onstage with Erik Drost returning to the fold with his unique ,edgy and frequently devastating guitar style.At the end of 2009, Niels and Martijn had decided to move on and pursue their own personal projects and in reality the new path chosen seemed somehow inevitable.Call it unfinished business with Erik -the voyage remains fascinating.
"Seconds Late"was recorded in the space of 4 intense weeks.It remains an album that the band is fiercely proud of.
Hate the artwork, love the album. There's been a few releases on Domino this year that I never would have picked up because the artwork turned me off, but thanks to drip I actually listened to them and enjoyed thoroughly (Child of Lov is another that comes to mind).
@thom, I confess I have some difficulty comprehending how anyone, including the band and the label, could not hate that artwork. Not sure what they were going for.
I don't hate the artwork, but am indifferent to it. One thing that has confused me, though, is trying to figure out if it's a woman or a guy in drag. I really can't tell.
#6 from the Jazz Loft horde - Jazz PR - "Fronted by four virtuosic trombonists, Jazz PR creates a Latin fiesta for the ears. This group is part of the great Austin, Texas based Creative Opportunity Orchestra," says the Jazz Loft. Fun music, I like the big trombone sound and the Latin rhythms
I also ordered the 50-CD for $50 and received it today. Why did I order them? I'm trying to cut back on purchases and re-examine my listening habits, so of course it made sense to toss another 50 CD's of music I'm probably unfamiliar with on top of all the music I'm attempting to sort out. Looking at Plong's photo and CD's he's mentioned there are about 6 that look like duplicates. There doesn't seem to be a lot of store play only CD's (unless companies have changed the way they distribute comps - I worked at a store that sold music in the late 1990's for a friend), and some were definitely pulled from shelves. I actually received 58 CD's - one duplicate and one case without CD (Portuguese singer - I am sad about that). I'll definitely be getting my money's worth with the selection of CD's I received. Most seem to be jazz, but there are some Blues CD's and at least two I'd consider Rock.
I'm on my 8th CD - Jeff Kaiser's Alchemical Mass. I'd call it experimental - AllMusic considers him avant-garde. Chant from the Ojai Camaerata.
Overall it's been a good haul - blues and jazz sprinkled with some other items, like a metal-regaae CD from Denmark (did not last past cut 2). Denmark is well represented, with a minimum f 5 CD's, mostly blues and rockabilly (my son's friend has a country-rock outfit in L.A. and his first CD got positive reviews in Denmark and Holland - a European tour should be in the offing).
What I've geard so far:
1. Lauzier, Perkin and Kuster - Today is a Special Day (2006). Modern jazz a la ECM (two cuts from Bartok). Drums, Bass and woodwinds. From Quebec - very good.
2. Big Martin and the Doghouse - In the Doghouse. Danish Rockabilly from 2007. I really liked it.
3. Michael "Hawkeye" Herman - Blues Alive. American acoustic Blues from 1997. Recorded live.
4. Kwako Kwaake Obeng - Afrijazz (2003). As you can guess from the title, KKO is a percussionist from Africa who does jazz-like African music. Very engaging. Does 'Round Midnight and has Jay Hoggard on onw cut.
5. L'Altra(1999) - 19 minute EP of unknown provenance. It's more alt-rock than anything else. OK.
6. Blunt - Ten Ton Reggae Machine - Danish Metal/Reggae (sort of). More metal than Reggae - they can't quite get the reggae beat going on a regular basis. I'm not a metal fan, so I couln't make it very far. So I'm 5 for 6 so far.
7. Ian Hendrickson-Smith - Blues in the Basment. Soul Jazz from Canada. "Hello Stranger"- done by Barbara Lewis and "Blues in the Basement" by Eddie Harris are covers. Good live set.
8. John Kaiser mentioned at the top.
So far- 7 of 8 positive records, with 1,2 and 7 to be part of a more regular rotation. The Kaiser piece is growing on me, but it's the type of music my wife doesn't like, so it's only for headphones and when she's not here.
- With a brand new compilation from the Lost Children Netlabel (the label with The Silent Ballet comps) - the first in about 2 years.
- Sounds excellent for the most part, so far . . .
ETA: more new stuff from Lost Children:
Pleasant listening. . . Almost too pleasant
#8 in the Jazz Loft box...Nathan Hubbard - Skeleton Key Orchestra. 2 CDs, 8 tracks from a thirty piece orchestra improvising. Borderline cacaphony at times, which I suppose is to be expected from thirty brass instruments in an enclosed space going wild. A 2004 release, was highly recommended by the critics.
/edit - I am really enjoying the second and third tracks on this set. One reviewer compared the disc to some of Frank Zappa's big band material, which I can see for Next Love (All Things Want To Fly), featuring electric guitar and strings.

Howe Gelb's Dust Bowl and Steve Palmer's eps have been keeping me company.

The Preatures - Is This How You Feel?
EP from Aussie indie poppers. The title track is catchy as all hell. The rest isn't as good, but is enjoyable.
