I finally investigated Dirty Projectors beyond Rise Above. The Getty Address is brilliant isn't it?
David Ackles is a 70's singer/songwriter. Sounds a bit like Neil Diamond. Elton John and Phil Collins are big fans of his. Good stuff.

Whats a good

Maher Shalal Hash Baz record to get then? Yet another of those bands where I'm not too sure where to begin.

Also, Lurker of Chalice ftw! \m/


I div not know :(

That's the first cd i've bought by them and it has a few different versions of the same song on it, so a proper album would possibly be a better bet! It's this one anyway:

http://www.last.fm/music/Maher+Shalal+Hash+Baz/From+a+Summer+to+Another+Summer


Alrighty

I'll check that out anyway, thanks. There's a cover of one of their songs on the new Silver Jews record too.


Birds of Maya

pretty great, huh?


Yerp

Most of those plays are the song "Killer In The Snow" over and over again though.


is that the really good one?

i can't remember the titles. there's one REALLY good one though.


It's the first one

I also like number five but it sounds a lot like Blue Cheer.


you say it like it's a bad thing

Blue Cheer pretty much only had one and a half good records, so I don't mind that sort of thing at all.


One riff is almost exactly the same though

I don't know why I still think this a problem. Like it doesn't happen all the time anyway!

"Canned Happiness" by MV/EE has the same riff as about 50000 Canned Heat songs and that's ok. Who knows.


Awesome

there's a band called Dianogah =D


Booyah.

Got the Glow Pt. 2 this week. It's lovely. Fuck Buttons and the new Boris are still receiving heavy rotation, on account of their general brilliance. Also bought Polytheistic Fragments by Sir Richard Bishop - I really like it, especially the long piano and sitar drone track, but I think While My Guitar... is the better album.


I've yet to get

into that Richard Bishop album. Some of it is cool. He's just released a film!

http://www.normanrecords.com/records/96883


That long piano/drone track

is ace! And all the tracks after it are great too. I would be dancing a jig to 'Canned Goods And Firearms' now if I hadn't just eaten my dinner.


Indeed

tis a fine album. I just prefer his darker stuff and it feels less cohesive/more like a collection of pieces than some of his previous work.


Aye

it does seem to jump around a lot.


but apparently by trade

he's a dealer in rare occult books and fine paper ephemera, which make me inordinately happy.


heh

Interesting character. The film sounds crazy

"This film is a diabolical experiment in hypnotic mind control - a phantasmagoric presentation of demonic and divine imagery, meticulously assembled and designed to put the viewer into an altered state of darkened awareness."

6. Having a bit of trouble getting into the new Joo's album. It'll never measure up to American Water, thats the problem. Still, Party Barge and Aloyisius, Bluegrass Drummer are great tracks.

10 Cheveu 11

Darondo is an old soul/funk singer from San Francisco that used to drive around in a white Rolls Royce with his name on the plates and everything, but after 3 singles he just stopped because he couldn't be bothered. Kinda sounds like Al Green if he was into pimping.

Alex Chilton's record "Like Flies On Sherbet" is great, it's really amateurishly lo-fi despite him being pretty big news by that point and clearly into drugs in a big way.

Psycho Sin are THE most knuckledraggingly primitive hardcore/grind band ever. Most of their songs are too short for last.fm, as those 12 songs are mostly from an 88 track CD.


What to do you think of

Naked on the Vague? I think The Blood Pressure Sessions is great. Yet another essential Siltbreeze record.

PSYCHO SIN sound interesting. Will try and check them out.
