We're agreeing way too much lately my friend. The only one I don't have is his "Suitcase" album although I did get 'Rita' from our fine friend Sticks, on a comp.

Been listening to the reissue of Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere. I'm not a huge Neil Young fan, but I've always like this album a lot. The reissue, according to the insert was remastered from the original analog 'Because sound matters'. The CD is also HDCD but I haven't tried it out on my HDCD player yet. The sound is improved over my original release CD, most obviously louder...er...dynamic. But also very obvious is that the highs sing out and are more resolved. My first thought was, 'whoa, this sounds bright.' It does do the music justice though. There's great guitar here and the remaster brings that out. Selling on the inexpensive side for new CD's which is nice.

Also been listening to one from Bil Callahan, aka (smog). There's some beautiful simplicity in his songs. And, some direct and personal lyrics. e.g

I dreamed it was a dream that you were gone
I woke up feeling so ripped by reality
Love is the king of the beasts
and when it gets hungry it must kill to eat
Love is the king of the beasts
a lion walking down city streets

I tend to like him when he sounds more spare, and the album pulls out some sweeping strings. They do add a melodic touch. Most would probably prefer them. He's got a great deep voice. I see NPR has a mini-live session on line. Also trying some enhanced album art.

Aphex Twin: Selected Ambient Works 85-92

Seminal album that you probably either have no interest in ever hearing or you're already heard. Not strictly ambient but laid back throughout. Easily one of my favorite electronic releases of all time.

Black Flag - THE COMPLETE 1982 DEMOS PLUS MORE

This was fun to listen through once, but really it wasn't good enough (and is certainly not my favorite BF era) to have a lot of interest in. Nice cover art, though.

Yeah, I gave this a listen. Interesting as a fan, but no way I'm pulling this out over most any of their official releases from the era.

But, always love the Pettibon art.

I could always tuck it in a more stylish cover...

The other night, the Wife was flipping through the channels, looking for something to spice up the evening. She stumbled onto this: perhaps the best thing I have heard in a very long, LONG time.

The Slackers: An Afternoon in Dub

Have seen these guys live a couple times and enjoyed them but have rarely listened to their records. Live, and I believe on most of their records, they tend towards uptempo ska. This release is an about face. It's all jazz inflected soulful instrumental dubs. Very laid back and bass to shake down your walls. Really nice music to sit back and have a smoke to. I guess its been out of print on CD for quite some time from the prices I see asked for it on some sites. But, there is a newly released vinyl version available cheap that I'm playing right now.

Hey nobody, you ever check out any Jackie Mittoo? He was part of the Skatellites..awesome, if you're into dub...

**poppachubby** · 09-05-2009, 06:12 AM

Today for me, I put some Jackie Mittoo on after seeing nobody's post, but right now I am testing the limits of a new soundcard. Mercury Rev "Boces" should do the trick...

LOVE Jackie Mittoo. When I talk to people who don't know who he is I will often describe him as what you would get had Booker T Jones been born in Jamaica. I'm gonna go throw The Keyboard King at Studio One on right now.

This is just plain fun. Have to move this onto the 'buy' list. Tnx!

**poppachubby** · 09-07-2009, 10:39 AM

...super comp...

**poppachubby** · 09-07-2009, 12:14 PM

...hey nobody, have you heard Byron Lee and the Dragonaires? I have 7 really beat up LP's that I'm presently converting to MP3. Great stuff, I'll make it avalable for torrent DL, only a few tracks on VA comps right now...

**nobody** · 09-07-2009, 02:52 PM

Haven't heard it, but let me know when you've got that torrent ready because I will absolutely be interested in checking it out.
