New Digital Single from She & Him. Lovely reverby-cover of the Screamin Jay Hawkins tune "I Put a Spell on You" and a live version of Lingering Still. Worth $2 direct to Merge.
I think the album only track policy had something to do with the labels that left - this cost me three credits on the last day of credits, and now it's gone, and Beggars was a notorious holdout on album pricing. I can't find anything non-album priced for 10+ minutes anymore, except for on BIS.
How do I get pictures? Is there a simple way? I have looked through FAQs - but not sure what I am doing. I have tried Copy and Paste but that obviously doesn't work. Thanks.
Split LP between Noveller and unFact (David Wm. Sims of the Jesus Lizard).
Brooklyn-based guitarscaper, Sarah Lipstate, offers three new recordings of her signature expansive guitar arrangements under her Noveller moniker.
Using electric bass guitars and an array of effects and looping devices, unFact creates improvised instrumental canvases of noise and melody that encompass fragile shards of memory and harrowing cascades of chthonic fury.
Listening to a stunning amount of Yumi Matsutoya as I write a blog post about why my daughter and I love her work and subsequently why I am not allowed to play DJ in the office at work.
Description:
Todd Reynolds, violin, with electronic processing; Members of the Yale Philharmonia, Julian Pellicano, conductor; The Berkeley Gamelan, Daniel Schmidt, director; Ingram Marshall, gambuh (Balinese flute), Serge synthesizer, live electronic processing
The pieces on this compact disk span almost three decades and represent the principal threads that have run through Ingram Marshall's (b. 1942) work: his remarkable skill in using electronics to create expressive and voluptuously beautiful pieces; the influence of Indonesian music, particularly in the slowed-down sense of time and melodic repetition; a thorough knowledge of some of the most stirring and poignant compositions of the Western tradition, especially Sibelius and Bach; and the hovering presence of Charles Ives, particularly his use of quotation and juxtaposition of seemingly unrelated elements.
The works on this CD can be thought of as an archeological dig, flowing in reverse chronological order from a recent work to one of the composer's earliest. They range from the dramatic and gripping 2002 work relating to a horrible event in New York City to a timeless ethereal 1976 piece relating to an idyllic period in Indonesia. Along with these dynamic contrasts, there's surprising consistency: Marshall's lifelong efforts to combine electronics with instruments and to render them with warmth and expressivity; but moreover, his extraordinary ability to capture profound human feeling and create works of poignancy and depth. - New World.

Beautiful music, but at the moment it sounds like me swearing and ploddingly picking.
Underrated little band.

Having a hard time trying to keep this off my top 20...
I used to like Let it Be better, but now I think I like this better.

This, on the other hand, absolutely makes it.

Thom, I'd meant to check out the "Istanbul Sessions" but forgot all about it...as will happen to Spring albums toward the end of the year.

lonely, moaning blues from a japanese perspective. kind of radical, in its own way.
