Been working on my year ender. There'll be a sample from the above. Good review at Pitchfork

Just thought I'd chime in to say I really dig that Tobacco too. I liked the last Tobacco disc, but this one is even better if you're into fuzzy grimey techno sleaze.
Of course, I'm still just listening to Elvis.

Hey hey, old sport...life has been challenging but I'm through the tunnel and out into the light. Thanks for the well wishing for the holidays and, of course, they're returned in full form...'Tis definitely a season for gratitude...
By the by, this lil' beaut right here is an early Christmas present to myself and is outstanding in both sonics and performance:

I'm having a hard time thinking of a better set than this. Up At Mintons? Perhaps, but this sucker really, really smokes.

Just got this last night and am totally digging it. Great garagey poppy rock 'n' roll.

...cool cover too. My classical collection is woefully wanting. Must work on that in the coming year.

wow! is this ever gorgeous...like a folky Arthur Russell playing songs he wrote after listening to a lot of Palace and Fairport Convention or something. or just his own thing I guess...the audiophile-ness is high on the vinyl I picked up too, just a lovely recording with some kick-a*s songs, lyrics, and vocals (contributions from Beth Orton and Nico Muhly..).
I'm adding it as a last minute addition to my 2010 Best Of List I think...
a link to his site w/ the album streaming...

Been a while
I've been on a Dionne Warwick/Burt Bacharach jag as of late.
"Walk on By - The Definitive Dionne Warwick Collection"
"The Look of Love - The Burt Bacharach Collection"
The Dionne Disk contains some rare Dionne Versions of songs not done before. like her version of "Wishin' and Hopin" which Dusty copped note for note much to Dionne's chagrin. The two never got along well. The Bacharach Collection has educated me immensely. Who knew he wroten songs for acts as varied as The Drifters, Gene Pitney and the Stylistics!!!???? "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance"???? Are you chittin' me?!!???? Great 3 disk set.

Today is vinyl day -
So far it has been -
The Unicorns - Who will cut our hair when we are gone
Calexico - Hot Rail
Sufjan Steven - The Age
All fantastic albums and all great to have and play on a turntable!
I've been using the Ascend Acoustic Sierra-1 speakers for the past little while - they are pretty nice speakers for $800 - review coming soon. Granted then are being run off $800 Interconnects, a $3250 Aaron Amp and $800 speaker cables.

Just received an email...better late than never, I suppose...sort of unforgettable...and it's being played on a Toshiba laptop...:D

This thread needs something a little heavier...

<b>Big Black: Racer X</b>
The first Big Black record I happened into and still my favorite. Not sure if it is the best or if its discordant squalling guitars, industrial rhythms and screeching vocals smacked me around good and subsequent things I heard from them just didn't have the same initial impact. Either way, I really pretty much just play this one when I wanna hear Big Black. I've spent a bit of time with other releases and enjoy them, but this is the slab that always pulls me back.
-
amen! ^^
it's always been Atomizer for me...the one I know best and pretty much the Big Black I put on

Hadn't heard Racer X before but tried it out. Good stuff. An excellent jump start to a morning washed down with strong coffee. Really liked the drum and bass sound. Wish I'd known about them in the 80's. Coulda spared me a lot of time listening to Ratt and the likes.
But, I'm sad to say I went from heavy to mind-numbingly soft.. :-)

The bass player of Racer X plays with the Mars Volta. I am pretty sure he is still with them. Flea played on their first studio album and he was hired to tour. After that he has played on all subsequent albums.
Great choice noddin. I have been spinning Frissell myself...

I'm currently listening to a Shahs mixtape of influences, the first in a planned series. Pretty great selection and easy to hear the sounds that cropped up in his excellent Dry Heat/Valley Low LP last year. Download free here:

<b>King-Federal Rockabillys</b>
Excellent if brief overview of some classic rockabilly singles originally released on the King and Federal labels by the likes of Mac Curtis, Charlie Feathers and more. If a quick and easy single disc distillation of this sort of thing is enough for you, this one would be a fine choice. Check out the fuzzy guitar sound on Hank Mizell's Jungle Rock. Here's the tracklist:
1.Mac Curtis - Grandaddy's Rockin'
2.Charlie Feathers - One Hand Loose
3.Joe Penny - Bip A Little, Bop A Lot
4.Ronnie Molleen - Rockin' Up
5.Mac Curtis - Little Miss Linda
6.Charlie Feathers - Bottle To The Baby
7.Mac Curtis - Goose Bumps
8.Mac Curtis - If I Had Me A Woman
9.Charlie Feathers - Everybody's Lovin' My Baby
10.Hank Mizell - Jungle Rock
11.Bill Beach - Peg Pants
12.Mac Curtis - Say So
13.Charlie Feathers - Nobodys Woman
14.Bob And Lucille - Eeny Meeny Miney Mo

<b>The Compact 2 Tone Story</b>
Hard to go wrong with every a and b side of every single on the 2 Tone label. The Specials, Selector, Madness, English Beat, Bodysnatchers...all the familiar faces and more are here with even a guest spot with Elvis Costello with his one single on the label. Oddly enough, former label head and Specials founder Jerry Dammers was less than impressed, saying "It's real train spotters stuff with every B-side from every free single and I wasn't even consulted about it. In some ways that (The Compact 2 Tone Story) is the worst." Regardless, a great collection filed with excellent stuff.

Ah, shahs!! Did you check out the link that I posted further up the page?
Besides Broadcast, I've been mostly on a local kick today. I've been working on some reports from home so plenty of time to listen. Lotsa Hüsker Dü, Teenage Moods, Dark Dark Dark, Dillinger Four, and also this one, hot off the presses:
