Finally got 'em all! Thanx bub!
― Kevin John Bozelka, Monday, 11 May 2009 12:58 (fifteen years ago) link
Collect 'em all! Hope you like the last one, Kevin--one of my faves, and the last one I finished, if I remember correctly.
― Soundslike, Monday, 11 May 2009 16:36 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm really enjoying it. Never heard of The Del-Byzanteens before. Worked really well after the Holger Czukay track (also new to me). iTunes was playing the tracks out of order.
How did you program the tracks? Or did I miss that somewhere on the site?
In any event, thanx billions for all your hard work. It's very much appreciated.
― Kevin John Bozelka, Monday, 11 May 2009 17:16 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm not sure I know what you mean by "program" here. . .
Billions! Wow! Thank you, um, googles for listening : )
― Soundslike, Tuesday, 12 May 2009 13:04 (fifteen years ago) link
How did you decide the order of the tracks?
― Kevin John Bozelka, Tuesday, 12 May 2009 13:05 (fifteen years ago) link
Oh, gotcha. I tend to just pick the tracks I want to be on a mix, maybe a couple extra; then start randomly trying combinations. Nothing too methodical, really. The '1981' set was on a somewhat larger scale, obviously; and I did spend a lot of time on culling and sequencing and getting the levels right and manually removing pops and clicks and all that, but I think the running orders came pretty easily. The set went through three versions, and a couple of the mixes changed a lot.
― Soundslike, Tuesday, 12 May 2009 16:07 (fifteen years ago) link
OK thanx, sounds. Still have only heard bits and pieces. I'll report back with faves whenever I finish the thing.

'1981 Briefcase, Volume 2'
Now that all nine of the main '1981' mixes are available, I'm compiling the 'Briefcase' tracks. 2nd collection (20 tracks) is up today.

A fun one up today: covers of classics (rock, pop, r&b, etc.) by post-punkers. As a bonus, links to all the originals.
Various - No Heroes
http://musicophilia.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/folder.jpg?w=500&h=500

Post-punk is often quite catchy in its way, and so there’s plenty of singability, listenability, pop ability on display–some of which actually had some popular impact in the grand tradition of the commercial cover tune. The Beatles get channeled by Yellow Magic Orchestra, The Feelies, and Hecter Zazou. Lee Dorsey and Al Green are both faves, fueling Devo and Trio, Talking Heads and Orange Juice, respectively. There’s Motown and funk love to spare, with A Certain Ratio, Flying Lizards, Soft Cell and The Slits being careful to avoid direct theft they can’t pull off, but honoring the sources with their own quirks firmly displayed. Straight-up pop is in evidence with Lydia Lunch, Tom Tom Club, Lene Lovich, Plastics and Antena joining the Oldies parade–and even Psychedelic Furs tackling “Mack the Knife”. As for the “I Hate Pink Floyd” sentiment, Dolphins aren’t having it, and The Pretenders clearly don’t hate the Kinks. Lizy Mercier-Descloux and the Selecter take you to the movies, and XTC and The Cure of all people show Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix love. The Gun Club reach back to Robert Johnson, and Siouxsie’s Creatures laud The Troggs. Only Bauhaus and Japan cover material you’d think of as post-punk-approved–Eno and The Velvets–but they do it with aplomb. I can’t say most of this music eclipses the originals–be sure to check below for links to all of the source tracks–but it’s all a lot of fun.
Check it out here at Musicophilia.

i didn't like that book at all. bloated and repetitive. insights into music equal zero. reminded me somehow of allen carr and his books on drugs and dependency. a total waste of time.
― alex in mainhattan, Thursday, 2 July 2009 21:56 (fourteen years ago) link
i'm kinda feeling you. i studied psychology in college. this just feels like a text book. it's all just about brain injuries. and old people that like classical music.

I thought it was a pleasant read, a few really enjoyable anecdotes, a few really frightening auditory possibilities. It's not a particularly in-depth or sustained thesis, but I didn't get the impression it intended to be.

After a bit of hibernation, including a lovely two week stay in a hospital, Musicophilia should be getting going again. Recently I've been honored to feature guest mixes by the creative minds behind Portland's The Harvey Girls and Chattanooga's Love, Execution Style. They're really eclectic, adding new wrinkles to the blog as well as a good bit of shared spirit with the things I've done there. I hope to be back with *finally* completed mixes of my own--some I've only been working on for months--in the next couple weeks.

First new mix since escaping the hospital, in the 'Musique du Monde' vein but edging toward the post-punk stuff. Part one of a series of (at least) three:

looks good! sorry to hear about the hospital stay, hope everything is better now! was just listening to one of the "Latter Day Can" mixes you made -- some great stuff on there.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 15 September 2009 14:27 (fourteen years ago) link
Thanks, Tyler. Hope you like this one--there are a couple more going up soon. Late Can definitely doesn't get enough credit--but putting together the post-Can one was revelatory even for me--I'd just never thought of it as a sum-total, but it really adds up into some great stuff.
― Soundslike, Wednesday, 16 September 2009 16:24 (fourteen years ago) link
i don't have much patience for the kraut/postpunk stuff, but sir, your Still mix was probably the best long-playing record i have heard this year. revelatory.
― sean gramophone, Wednesday, 16 September 2009 16:50 (fourteen years ago) link
Wow, that's really cool to hear, Sean. I try to make something for (almost) everybody. 'Still' actually ended up being "useful" in the hospital--had it playing during a couple in-room procedures, nurses all commented it was very calming : )

The Musicophilia blog turns one year old today. . .
http://musicophilia.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/musicophilia-birthdaycake.jpg?w=178&h=242
October 4th marks the one-year anniversary of Musicophilia’s first post and first mix, and in that time the blog has featured almost one mix for every week (indexed here), which between them have been downloaded over 15,000 times with nearly 70,000 views and at least 200 subscribers.
Got a poll up, and a little drawing going for a few CDs (Kluster, David Axelrod, Jean-Jacque Perrey at least) for those who leave a comment. Check it out here.

It's an accessible, deeply funky, but slightly dark and contemplative affair, a counterpoint to the more uptempo feeling of the second volume. I hope you dig it--get it here at Musicophilia.

Just in case you missed it over at the Flaming Lips - 'Embryonic' thread--I've put together a mix inspired by, and possibly digging in the roots of, the Lips' astonishing new album:
http://musicophilia.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/zygotic-small.jpg?w=500&h=500
Various Artists - 'Zygotic' (After the Flaming Lips' 'Embryonic') (2009)
‘Embryonic’s central production feature is the classic Lips technique of very heavily compressing the drums, creating a distorted, absolutely massive sound, this time devoted to more intricate and sexier beats than ever before. Other sonic “solids” are created with stabs of distorted guitar, swooping harps, distant bells, and subtle percussion. But despite these distorted and compressed elements, the music is (literally) highly dynamic, and around and between these sonic boulders and rocks is a beautiful and melodious stream of electric piano and organ, treated vocals, strings and xylophones, and ambient texture. ‘Zygotic‘ recreates this blend from two major strands. First, art rock (Krautrock especially,) sound library and soundtrack music, and fusion jazz–all with drums as huge as possible–recreate the bursting energy and ferocious beats. And second, work from minimalists, hazy psychedelia and musique concrete artists creates the contemplative web of melody and texture that holds the mix together.From the heavy camp, we have artists like Led Zeppelin (who created the original mammoth rock drum sound) and Miles Davis (with the insanely heavy “Rated X”), early Kraftwerk, Ennio Morricone’s The Feed-Back, the Silver Apples, Jaki Liebezeit-led Can, This Heat’s Charles Hayward, White Noise, Heldon, Joe Ufer, Janko Nilovic and Faust. Adding texture and experimentalism are Tod Dockstader, Jon Appleton, Yoko Ono, Erkki Kurenniemi, Pierre Henry, Dick Raiijmakers, Alvin Curran, Tangerine Dream’s Klaus Schultze, Francois Bayle, and Bernard Parmegiani. And tying it all together with moody beauty are David Axelrod, Roy Budd, Pierre Arvay, Mother Mallard’s Portable Masterpiece Co., Neu, Cluster, Alice Coltrane, Nino Nardini, Egisto Macchi, Joe Meek, Bernard Estardy, Brian Eno, Luciano Cilio, Franco Battiato and the United States of America. Of course, none of these is segregated from the rest, and hopefully it is their intertwining which makes this mix a successful homage to ‘Embryonic‘.

Two new mixes posted since last I updated here. One is a straight-ahead favorites of 2009 (from the perspective of someone picking it up almost by accident); but the more exciting one in my opinion is the following, which began as a "favorites of the decade" mix, but evolved into a much more singular and enveloping sound-journey:
http://musicophilia.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/folder1.jpg?w=500&h=500
'A Decade in the Dark' (2000-2009)Ten years out from 2019, it’s pretty clear ‘Blade Runner‘ was a little off the mark in terms of flying cars, bio-engineered supermen, a resurgent retro-Deco architecture (alas), and attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. But as this first decade of the new millennium comes to a close, I can’t help but feel like the film nevertheless got more right than we might like to admit. Not the least is the pervading sense of darkness; no, things aren’t literally gritty, wet and ever-dark, but it’s not hard to feel after this bungled decade that things might not be soon enough if things carry on with current trajectory. The upside of this noir condition is that uncertain times, a futurism that isn’t optimism, and the melted cultural edges of an internet age have produced a lot of fantastic music that wouldn’t sound the least bit out of place in the sin dens and street bazaars (and cold storage laboratories) of ‘Blade Runner‘.01 [00:00] The Knife – “Silent Shout” (Silent Shout, 2006)02 [04:30] Daniel Menche – “Concussions, Part 2″ (Concussions, 2005)03 [04:58] Erykah Badu – “The Healer” (New Amerykah Part One (4th World War), 2008)04 [08:40] Bjork – “Where Is The Line” (Medulla, 2004)05 [13:17] Burial – “U Hurt Me” (Burial, 2006)06 [18:29] Portishead – “Machine Gun” (Third, 2008)07 [23:04] Junior Boys – “When No One Cares” (So This Is Goodbye, 2007)08 [27:00] Low - “Breaker” (Drums & Guns, 2007)09 [29:46] Flaming Lips – “See the Leaves” (Embryonic, 2009)10 [34:08] David Sylvian – “Late Night Shopping” (Blemish, 2003)11 [36:52] Thom Yorke – “The Clock” (The Eraser, 2006)12 [41:11] David Thomas & Two Pale Boys – “Surf’s Up” (Surf’s Up!, 2001)13 [49:42] The For Carnation – “Moonbeams” (The For Carnation, 2000)14 [59:00] Fennesz – “Onsay” (Venice, 2004)[Total Time: 60:00]

Went over 20,000 mixes downloaded this week! Totally amazed, and hopefully I've spurred some music purchases.
It's been slow lately, but I've got several series cooking, including a singer-songwriter series, a sound library bunch, and more "post post-punk" 80s/90s/00s mixes.

Really missing this blog, and the sister site.

Sorry : \
I honestly hope to have 3-6 mixes within the next three months. There's always the back catalogue, in the meantime?
Musicophilia Daily will probably remain moribund, unless I just start posting things without having to write blurbs. It was a fun exercise for a while, but I don't have the time/energy for that, now--doubt too many people will just click "play" without them, though.
― Soundslike, Thursday, 25 February 2010 08:22 (fourteen years ago) link
Don't feel bad, it was always a treat to read and I 100% understand the necessities of "real life" taking over. Just so happened that the slow down in posting coincided with me being laid off and having a lot more time to investigate, which was disappointing. I'll very much look forward to whatever comes next!

Glad to hear there's still interest, for sure. Just got word today that some of the most musically knowledgeable guys I know will be working up guest mixes in the near future, in areas I dig but haven't yet covered at the blog. So that should help the slack, for sure.
FYI, if you want to quickly see what you might have missed before, check here:
An index of every mix that's been posted
My favorites, though the least-downloaded, are the Sensory Replication Series mixes, so check those out if you haven't--start with 'Collide/Coalesce' to get a feel for what they're all about.

Glad you dig them. You should find a lot to love on the upcoming Sound Library series, and the early-mid-70s singer-songwriter mixes I'm working on.

Say the words “singer-songwriter” to some music geeks, and you may induce a Pavlovian cringe. It’s a much-abused term, no doubt, often applied to every M.O.R. woman to sit at a piano and wail, every goateed doofus to wallow over his mother-of-pearl-inlaid Taylor or Ovation. But taken (as a start) as a natural progression out of 1960s folk revivalism into music with more potential for both sonic breadth and popular appeal, it is one of the bedrocks of the greatest decade in popular music, the equal of funk or post-punk or Krautrock. It’s sometimes spare and unadorned, sometimes verges on baroque pop, and often brings in jazz and chamber music touches to become something that just doesn’t fit under a more accurately descriptive ready-made label. This mix is intended as evidence that if handled with care, a few unabashedly poetic lyrics, a little soul-searching confession, some sing-along melodicism, and an acoustic guitar can add up to a very good thing. ‘His Heart Had Six Strings, Vol. 1‘ features (as the title suggests) male songwriters; it will be followed up soon with a feminine counterpart–and probably a sequel, since I left so many favorites of this volume.

Thank you, sir! Makes me smile. Hopefully I'll get to do at least one of the more typically Musicophilia-style mixes--I had a whole series of library mixes in the Musique du Monde mold, an early electronics series, more 'Tour du Monde' volumes, and several more "Post-post-punk" mixes in various stages of completion. Maybe one day I'll finish them!

Whoa, glad you liked it so much! I realized I made the mistake of reusing a track from that mix on this most recent mix. . . but it's such a good one, hopefully nobody minds.
BTW, I put the '1981: Amplifier' mix back up--don't know why it was down, and if it goes again I'll take that as a sign. So grab it quick folks, if you missed it back when (2004 or 2008).
