My favorite song from my favorite pop album of the 90s:

This came up in shuffle today, and I replayed it 3 times - from one of my (many) favorite 90's albums:
John Cale & Brian Eno - "Spinning Away" (Wrong Way Up, 1990) -
I think Homogenic is the absolute shit, fwiw.

One of my favorite drone artists, Dave Seidel, aka mysterybear, has plenty of his music online to stream. Try "Pen…

Apropos of this thread, I came across Richard Dawkin's recently discussing Why I want all our children to read the King James Bible
Gp, no, I was blatantly dissing the idea that the Bible could be "true". Sorry my offensiveness was insufficiently clear.
Tee hee, Gp said "as if it is not true". Chortle chortle.I've long liked Joe Farrell's Outback from 1971 (Farrell, Chick Corea, Elvin Jone…BT, if you quote your single term "primitivism", the "primitive" results disappear. Google treats quoted terms, even single ones, literally.This might be useful to you, BT: pianist Marc Sabatella's A Jazz Improvisation PrimerWhen I see the word "musicianship", Jim Hall's one of the first names that comes to mind. Perhaps check him out with the 1963-4 Art Farmer Quartet. BT, do you have access to streaming?Yeah, funny.(Quote) I would agree it would've ended better a season earlier, but I would instead characterize the last season as having intellectual ideas that were REALLY REALLY SHITTY (the increasing-to-overwhelming emphasis on taking seriously/literally a…This is certainly not applicable to everyone, but for those iTunes playlist-oriented listeners, one trick I use when I buy a lot of stuff at once is to uncheck a fair amount of that. Only checked items appear in my playlists, so I parcel out my unc…BDB, despite my having read books 1-4, any liberties the writers/producers are taking don't bother me at all - I think they're at the helm of a great show that's living on its own. I doubt they'll change any of the major plot vectors. I thought ep…I think The Wind-up Bird Chronicle's a perfectly ok place to start with Murakami. Why isn't Hard-Boiled Wonderland & The End of the World in that diagram?No, I'm in the very top right, standing/hanging above the others.

Is there a big-name pop musician that even comes close to making music as experimental and thorny as she does? Radiohead a little bit, sometimes, maybe, but not nearly so consistently or (relatively) extreme. I c…Yeah, Frisell's an odd choice there - certainly he seems to me the most famous by far of the guitarists in that piece. My nom for "un(der)sung guitarist" is Glenn Phillips (I'll throw one great jazz (contemporary) big band album out there, greg: John Hollenbeck's Eternal Interlude. I rec a handful of big band…Yeah, I think that's a good choice by Bobby, a sweet spot price. If people want recs from that catalog, I'll be glad to provide my two cents.I've long liked "Revolution Number 9". Nice tape piece. Fwiw, it's got 3 plays in my iTunes lib; the median playcount for my Beatles tracks is 4.bn, time to brag a bit, concerning the Kyle Bruckmann release - quoting from the liners: (Quote) You can read a bit about that festival in Signal To Noise's feat…Nice find, bn, thanks - that stuff's right up my alley.I may have mentioned this before, but one of the funniest jokes I've heard was speculating that the final book in ASOIAF will be 1200 pages of snow falling on dead bodies. Ha!Gp, do you use the "limit to N tracks" option for those playlists? That lets you balance the playlists at whatever relative proportions you prefer. Combine that with some last-played constraints, and I'm sure you can fine-tune pretty quickly. My …Chrome is my preference. Each tab's a different process, so if one's causing a problem, you can kill it and recover your cpu.
