What are you listening to? 2011

The Cannanes are an Aussie indie-pop band whose membership included Dave Nichols for awhile--he wrote fanzines and a book on the Go-Betweens

Recent things I've acquired that I've been loving:

Todd Terje: "Ragysh" EP
Tin Man: Scared
Hyetal: Broadcast
Mist: House
Rene Hell: The Terminal Symphony
Tyler: Goblin
Seefeel: Seefeel
Harald Grosskopf: Synthesist
Kevin Drumm: Sheer Hellish Miasma

no idea why i haven't picked up that Seefeel record, i love the old stuff dearly

lol contenderizer; totally got into Lost Sounds bcz you mentioned them on the rolling goth thread.

awesome! was listening to black wave just the other day. lately though i strictly listen to luscious jackson.

phog masheeen - 23 duets

i put on a new album by book of knots that i got in the mail (remember them? i barely do and i think i even reviewed an album once) and it was so terrible i only lasted five seconds. wooden shjips is pretty bad too. but i'm picky when it comes to 80's retro. i kinda liked the warlocks when i saw them live in philly a couple of times years ago. never really listened to black rebel motorcycle club. wooden shjips has inspired me to put on a jesus & mary chain demos collection i have in the store.

keep playing new sea & cake thing hoping i'll like it more if i hear it more but its just...okay. the synth/chillwave moments are kinda the most interesting parts. the regular sea & cake moments are just your standard late-period sea & cake.

don't like the white hills album on thrill jockey either. sorry white hills! sorry thrill jockey! nothing personal.

don't do what i do, which is to play a bunch of new electronic promos and then play an old Cluster album, and then get all sad about how the promos aren't as good as Cluster and end up listening to nothing but Cluster all day

it's a hazard, this is true.

not great spacemen3/j&m chain-isms in 2011 is always gonna be a bit of a bummer to me though.

Geeta, which new electronic stuff, and which Cluster album? I know that feeling... Zuckerzeit is usually what inspires that. I've actually been enjoying solo Roedelius the most lately... As horrible as I feel saying it, sometimes I just can't help thinking that Moebius can be a little spazzy and self-consciously quirky, whereas Roedelius seems less concerned with overtly strange noises and more into some sort of immersion or textural gracefulness or something.

digging this vibracathedral orchestra album right now. always meant to listen to them. (totally selling it though)

i want all of geeta's electronic promos.
