Dedicated: 2010

edited February 2010 in General
Do you have any specific musicians that you're committed to buying as much as possible of in 2010?

Me, I've got a couple...

1. John Zorn.
-I mention this in another thread. I've already picked up Alhambra Love Songs and O'o. I'm looking at picking up about six more, including The Dreamers and some Book of Angels albums.
2. Curtis Fuller.
-A jazz trombonist that I've always liked as a sideman, but I want to get some of his albums as a leader, too. I see some of his stuff has popped up in the Savoy drop on emu.
3. Spacemen 3.
-I used to own several of their albums back in the nineties, but they went away with a lot of other music during tough times. Lately, I've been thinking I'd like to pick some of those titles up again and maybe a few that I didn't own back then, too. I haven't decided whether I want the physical cd or if mp3 is okay.

  • As it happens, I've just been spending a while listening to a lot of music by Hungarian composer Erno Dohn
  • Stereolab, maybe. I've had the The Radio 1 Sessions for a while, but just got around to listening to it. Never heard them before this disc, but there are, like, 10 Stereolab studio discs available on eMusic.
  • I love Stereolab, but one interesting thing about them to me is that they seem to just be making one career-long album - that may sound bad, but it's not. A new album comes out, and after a couple listens the songs start to sound so comfortable and familiar I generally can't tell what album any of them originate on any more. I love that, actually. (I exaggerate some, but that's the overall impression I get, more than from any other band I like.)
  • re; stereolab, rec. dots & loops, which is the only stereolab i ever managed to truly love, but loved it enough that i'd still consider myself a stereolab fan.

    This year I'm going to make a stab at getting all the Riverside Thelonious Monk and maybe some others too. With non-album pricing It's just too good and too cheap for me to not be buying it.
