    Absolutely ! - I bought the hard copy when it was released and was blown away !

    edit:
    - Just found the CD - there's a lot of detailed info for each track and lyric's in a very nice booklet
  • Nigeria 70 Vol. 1

    I love this album so much. Absolutely perfect for a Friday morning at work.

  • Smersh Sampler - from Free Music Archive, which I can't get to at work, but the WFMU link will get there.

    Mmmmmm.... M83. Saturdays=Youth. Once again, "Kim & Jessie" is such a freakin' awesome song.
  • xl

    ...on lala. It is going to take a while to get through this one!

    Dying Will Be Easy by Fight the Big Bull
    I completely lack the vocabulary to talk intelligently about Jazz however I hear Davis, and Mingus in this album with traces of Tom Waits and John Zorn bubbling about. Definitely enjoying it.

    Blackroc - S/T. The Black Keys + a bunch of Hip-Hop artists. Listening to this makes me actually feel hip...
  • What's your view on the Blakroc, Thom? I've heard mixed reviews, but have liked what little of it I've heard.

  • Graham Lambkin - Salmon Run
  • edited February 2010
    Craig - I really like it. I'm a big Black Keys fan, and really love the way they created a bluesy groove to feed the various rappers. While not as good as their own material, it would be great to see them explore this kind of collaboration eve more.

    And it's on sale for 5 bucks at Amazon.

    amclark2, seek out Lambkin/Lescalleet's The Breadwinner if you're unfamiliar (and the rest of the Erstwhile catalog if you happen to not know it). (But maybe listening to Salmon Run makes such unfamiliarity unlikely?) Lambkin has a new one out too: Softly Softly Copy Copy.
  • Thanks for the heads up thom. May need to pull the trigger on that.

    Speaking of Black Keys, I'm listening to Live Current Volume 5 and a live version of Dan Auerbach's "Street Walking" just started.

    Craig
  • Thanks for the pointer to the Erstwhile site - I am unfamiliar - this stuff is much easier to read about than to actually find - which is probably why places like tiny mix tapes like to write about it so much.
  • Woody_Guthrie_Asch_Recordings_Album_Cover.jpg

    The Asch Recordings - abother great 7 digital deal - which is still cheap.

    Thanks for the pointer to the Erstwhile site
    Not only is Erstwhile one of the premier labels in electro-acoustic-improv-related music (I'm a completist of that catalog, and am glad to offer suggestions if you want some), but they also run a fine distribution service for the genre in general; prices there are generally as good as you'll find anywhere, and most of it is generally offered by only a few folks anyway.

    (If you happen to order anything, tell Jon that Vince sent you.)
  • Shearwater - The Golden Archipelago

    Never really gave Rook a listen, but liked the samples enough to grab this one while it was still cheap on Amie. Really enjoying it. Makes me think I should give their EP that I got for free another listen.
  • Koln Kompakt - this gets better every time I listen to it.
  • Black Star - s/t. I seem to be in a hip-hop mood today.

    thom - Agree on the Shearwater. Not the best thing I've heard this month, but it scratches a particular itch.

    Laurie Anderson - United States Live

    - For the first time in many years.
    I almost forgot how brilliant it is.

    La Differanza by SADO (free at Clinical Archives). Free Jazz/Avant-Garde. Much more humorous than a work based on Derrida should be.
  • Punjab Dhamar - Allah Rakha & Zakir Hussain
    I had gotten this long before Saregama went batshit insane with their pricing, 12 credits at eMusic or $10 at iTunes per track. That said, it is one of my favorite ways to wake up in the morning, especially if I can't make yoga.
  • Nimbus Records remains a cheap (non-album-priced) label for fine Indian classical releases.
  • @kargatron, Thanks! Gorging myself now.

    At youtube:
    Autechre - Oversteps (Sampler)
    - Samples from their soon to be released LP.

    Very VERY promising !

    + a full track sample see on see - Wow !
  • Currently listening to Toad the Wet Sprocket. I always forget how good they are. To borrow a phrase from last night's U.S.A. v. Canada hockey game, they are tremendously tremendous.

    Radiohead - OK Computer
  • Black Ant - Free Beats Sel. 3 - available at Free Music Archive - pretty great instrumental hip-hop stuff.
