Super chopped and screwed pop songs. Nice. I got this off Bandcamp free around 2010. Not sure if I listened to it all the way through. But now I like it. It's sort of a proto vaporwave, almost at the intersection of vaporwave and chillwave too. Love that cover image. Still free. He has lots of other free stuff too. Although he changed his name from "shaman" to "shamane". Somebody must have already owned shaman. It seems weird that you can control a word like that. Oh well; it's not the strangest thing in intellectual property.
Wow! Discovered this from the Wondering Sound "best DJ mixes" list (being from 1990, he didn't actually list this), but this awesome vintage house. It looks like XLR8R has a ton of cool podcasts. More exploring to do.
Grace Cathedral Park - "In the Evenings of Regret"
Slowcore band, perhaps, named after a Red House Painter song. They certainly sound like 'em. I think. It's been so long since I listened to RHP, but this is how my memory is telling me they sound.
She absolutely nails these tunes, of course. If you were looking for a clinic on how to "swing" a pop tune, you could do worse than this version of 'Santa Claus Is Coming to Town.'
@rostasi, I may not be able to rest until I hear that Don Patterson Xmas album
The Patterson is good. There was, of course, the obligatory jazz christmas album necessity of that time -
especially organ trio - and so it doesn't rise much above that, but it's still a fun album. It features Pat Martino. Bobby Timmons has a pretty fine album by the same name that's worth a spin too if you're into that kinda thing.
The Nomad Christmas, despite the awful subtitle appellation of "world music", is a quite wonderful jazz excursion
into Middle Eastern, Indian, Brazilian and Bulgarian music. You might know of Simon Shaheen, Glen Velez, Bikram Ghosh and Tarun Bhattacharya.
I have an obscene amount of holiday music that doesn't fit the standard mall/office building/radio mold and so it's easy
to listen to much of this without really tiring of it.
- "The Fynbos ecoregion is one of the worlds six floral kingdoms and is both the smallest and richest per unit of area. Exceptionally beautiful in topography and general landscape, the region exhibits extremely high biological diversity with over 9000 species of plants occurring in the area. Of these, 6200 are endemic and grow nowhere else in the world. Comparable in floral diversity to tropical rainforests, the area is unique for a relatively dry continental zone.
Flora of Fynbos is an acousmatic fantasia inspired by the pungent, earthy sweetness of Rooibos and also by the fragile ecosystem of the Fynbos region where the tea is found. Made from both leaves and branches, and sometimes ground to a fine red dust, Rooibos, also known as bush tea, is a unique and highly prized brew . . . . .

which is really very nice. Both are solo guitar.

So fantastic.

Just finished: Copenhagen Art Ensemble - "Reutersward"
Now playing: County Road X - "County Road X"
Next up: Greg Osby & Tineke Postma - "Sonic Halo"
I find Wyatt's voice a bit like Marmite or kimchee - an acquired taste and then gradually addictive.

Fjordne - "The Last 3 Days of Time"
@GP - I don't know if you've already got this one, but if not, you should definitely give it a listen.
http://dynamophone.bandcamp.com/album/the-last-3-days-of-time
It's on the Dynamophone label, which has generated some interest on this site.
Thanks
Makes me think I should listen to Disinterested and Moshimoss again (from that label).
Amanda Fucking Palmer
That Disinterested album still makes it into my morning playlist from time to time.
NP:
Diego Barber & Craig Taborn - "Tales"
Merchandise - After the End
I've found I'm utterly unable to write about an album unless I'm listening to it.
