What are you listening to 2016?

I got a Japanese copy of Ramsey Lewis' Salongo, and since this from the same era as Sun Goddess, with Maurice White and Charles Stephney writing credits, I expected it to be a similar laid-back synth jam album, but man this is super-funky!

my girlfriend got me a record for xmas from amazon, don't remember what she meant to get but they sent Dandelion Gum by Black Moth Super Rainbow instead. It's not bad, I never really paid attention to them, wasn't into the whole maximalist psychedelic kitchen sink they were (are?) all about, but it's nice. Pretty pink vinyl, too.

Oh yeah, Drums and Wires by XTC, too.

Salongo went up on Demonoid a couple of days ago. I haven't listened to it yet but it should still be there.

Hail to the Thief. Crazy to think this came out 13 years ago.

i realise that the ilm hivemind hate nu-era garage rock and roll, but fuck it.
on a vodka fueled saturday night, there is genuinely no other band i would wish to see live.
however, that's not possible, so, i just have to strap on the 'phones and up the tinnitus groove.

ilm hivemind is wrong about most things, dude, don't sweat it.

A Golden Void live set that went up on dime today and a track that sounds like its a cover of Maggot Brain.
Some pretty lengthy guitar excursions elsewhere in the set including a Neil Young cover.
Set was recorded 3 days ago in Germany and doesn't have the tracklist in its info file.

It's Isaiah Mitchell from Earthless's side project if you haven't heard of them. I picked up the 2nd lp recently before HMV closed down that hasa far more contemporary heavy rock production on it.

"Yooooooou wear the crown of creation!!!"

I still think this video is exceptional (and I haven't seen it online for ages):

Shiina Ringo - Ringo No Uta

(Not the best rip, unfortunately.)

I was sat on a train to Glasshoughton today, en route to a trampoline arena. I was listening to that last M0ster album "When You Cut into The Present" , which is a badass jazz-psyche-rock recording that reminds me of The Psychic Paramount's last one.

Another Side by Fingers Inc. arrived today. Great to get it on cd finally sounds really good.
Would like some linernotes though.

I realize posting a photo AND then adding some words to let people know what album it is might be a really time-consuming task, but for albums with no writing on the sleeve maybe you could go that extra step.

What I'm saying is, what's that album featuring the guy in the fuzzy hat holding a violin?

it is

prompted by hearing that the Canterbury Arms has just been knocked down to make way for a new set of luxury flats. & I think that was the venue for their club the Mule Club in the late 80s.

I feel like the chiming and pounding probably make this a less-than-ideal midnight listen as far as the neighbors are concerned... fuck em. GAMEL-ON.

The life of pablo.

Jk fuck that guy.

Homer complete the Gear Fab reissue of the Grown in the USA lp plus singles and unreleased stuff. Unfortunately the mastering is really quiet. Cos what you can hear of teh music seems pretty great, pretty blazing guitar when it cuts loose.

Magic Enclosed reissue of a 1969 hippy rock lp that verges on soul and also has some pretty great guitar all over it. Especially the 12 minute jam last track. THis has bonus singles tracks and a lotof the 2nd lp on it.

H.P. LOvecraft the Revola reissue of teh 1st 2 lps. Somebody should reissue the live set from May 68 cos it's pretty tasty

Larry Coryell Barefoot Boy. Free jazz jams featuring the guitarost on about equal footing with other band members. Had me wondering why i wasn't hearing more lead guitar throughout in places.

Another Side by Fingers INc. Late 80s house lp finally gets officially released, This again had me wondering what constituted lead instrument since most things seemed to be playing rhythm. Maybe I have my model for listening to this stuff wrong since I don't have much house stuff. This is also pretty close to an electronic soul/r'n'b which might lead me to have certain expectations about the way the music is constructed.
