Ten More Jazz Albums
There’s a ton of jazz on my wishlist but just barely enough to cobble another list of ten together from what I’ve purchased in the last few months. As ever, this is probably more representative of what in jazz terms I’…

Seeing CS live in a fairly small venue around the turn of the century was a real treat. It felt more like an art installation or an underground social movement than a concert. I didn't jump at the expanded addition w/ the EP tacked on but perhaps …

@confused Thanks as always for meticulous documentation. Most I've never heard of, so there's lots to explore.
-
Also recommended without reservation, not least b/c it's free: Los Cuentos de la Buena Pipa https://rompecrea.bandcamp.com/album/qu-es-el-laberinto

Another borderline case: MARCELLO'S MYSTICAL MIND. https://www.emusic.com/arti…

Not sure if I'm impressed by Légamo, but they're new and use what sounds like a clarinet. https://www.emusic.com/artist/rs_5086991/Lgamo On the same label, Cuaderno Roto,…

No disagreement on YA. A case for unlimited streaming over shelling out to own everything one would like, probably.

"Ballasts" by Human Teorema is quite new and enjoyable. NYP https://souterraine.biz/album/ballasts

Once I'm employed again, I hope to be right there w/ you. I managed to stop before 30 NYP albums and label compilations for about $1.25 each, but this could be habit forming.
-
Hard to keep track of all the flukes and hiccups of the site in addition to regional differences. I'll look into those two.
-
Actually mostly quite new prog rock from the UK on Mains Spike Music. I'll leave it to you to say whether it's any good. Some metal, too. Rock w/ flutes, etc. https:/…

Experimental Overload!
In the spirit of defunding over-militarized police departments infiltrated by white supremacists and experimenting w/ more community-based options, here are some more experimental albums I’ve enjoyed recently. I c…

Here's hoping they've hit bottom and are on the long road to recovery. And one way or another, ours will stay one of discovery.

Newish Albums Around the Edges of Progressive Rock (on eMusic & Bandcamp)
Purists beware, not all of this fits cohesively. And what doesn’t fit doesn’t in different ways, but I’m excited for people to check these out and couldn’t wait …

Recommended NYP or free label v/a compilations (org. by genre)
If I’m going to spend $1 on music I’ve never heard of, I’m more inclined to try a full album by one artist or band as on labels like these: in Bandcamp Goodies Comment by omnifoo June 2020

Thanks for pointing out the NYP albums on Bandcamp; I might still buy one. I’ve noticed you’re more adept at selecting individual tracks you lik…

I'm probably going to pass on All the Empires of the World for being too close to metal, but they're not far from prog or post-rock either in Progressive Rock on eMusic Comment by omnifoo May 2020

The radio show was on a community radio station w/out ads (just fundraising requests), and I tried to stop the tape whenever the DJ came on so as to preserve precious, precious seconds of tape. Ended up chopping up a lot of song intros and outros, …
-
I wasn't aware of US/UK splits in music until college and still am unclear. Given low civic literacy in the US, it's probably more important that my fellow Americans read up on how our system works, but I wish a lot more people would do the same as…
-
I wish I'd used tape.ly to share mixes while it existed and am still interested in finding a better way than YouTube. Might look into last.fm by your (past) appreciation of it. I'll continue to give out burned CD-Rs as long as car stereos still…
-
@eythian I really appreciate your comments, as these lists do take a fair bit of patience and work. I was hoping for similar engagement on Reddit's new wave community in terms o…
-
Same here. Very specific bands/songs and only in an aggressive mood or situation. I generally can only handle the louder parts of post-rock or a band that incorporates metal like The Book of Knots. Actual metal is just too loud for my aging ears.…
-
Just to get wordy, I’ve always considered intentions to be benign or malign, maybe noble being approximately the same as the former, but denoting more the high-minded or selfless thoughts of the actor than an overall desire to do good or ill. A …

@confused Thanks for sharing in such detail! It shouldn’t be surprising in the least that people w/ unique, diverse musical tastes also operate on their own codes of morality.<…
-
Another way to interpret: there's no nobility in giving part of my COVID-19 stimulus check to musicians who are hurting. The whole thing should go to charity if I don't need it to eat.
-
Thanks for picking us up philosphically. As in the original musical context with your example, if you say that if one doesn't donate to the "highest value" charity target, it's in the "probably immoral" category, isn't that also like saying that no…

Though I remember previewing CDs to be rare in the 90s (usually only a select few available at "listening stations"), I stand corrected on the practice. My sympathies on Bandcamp slowing to a crawl. Warm, fuzzy feelings for so many musicians getti…

Regarding universal access, for myself, I say there are reasons that children don't own and operate candy stores. Most people, I gather, just stream what they liked in high school and don't explore much, though that impression is anecdotal. I'm ma…

@Germanprof
A needs to be expanded (but all good, agreed). As in my first comment after the OP, I’m not ready/able to wrap my head around and judge artists giving th…
