A day with the Flatlanders, started with Dallas in honor the Super Bowl, moving through the 57 tunes on the iPod including a touching version of Homeland Refugee on the KGSR Broadcasts #17.

"happy experimental post-rock collective," free at Jamendo. Was drawn to this by the great band name. Quite diverting until they start singing (which they don't do very much).
Contains samples from: John Cage, György Ligeti, Saul Williams, The Funkees, The Meters, Dr. John, DJ Spooky, King Tubby, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Marc Levin, and various Smithsonian Folkways releases." Throat singing on "Qimmiruluapik" performed by Ida Oweetaluk and Margaret Miner.
Tommy Flanagan on piano, Jack DeJohnette on drums, John Scofield on guitars, Dave Holland on bass, Stefon Harris on vibes, and Conrad Herwig on trombone.
@Craig - Ha, almost spun that a couple of days ago. Will have to loop back to it. It's amazing to me how well some of that album has weathered compared to some other stuff of its day. (Incidentally, in connection with another thread, there's another person who was borrowing hugely from Kraftwerk, not least in dress/visual aesthetic. In fact it seems they weren't too impressed with him - they thought his imitation was too slavish.).

I Am Waiting for You to Stop Being Mad at Me by Rob Theakston
Has its moments. Must have got this from Limewire I think.
Hybrid of Quebecois folk and Maghrebi. It sounds more fresh than when I first dl'ed it.

One of today's new releases - freshly downloaded from emusic a few minutes ago!
Got this out of my local library earlier today. I didn't realise that there had been a new collection of Nice music issued
- Lovely !
After the Gary Numan I thought this was necessary. Maybe move on to Afrika Bambaataa afterwards!
