-- is this good? it's a best-of right?

Yeah, its a two-disc retrospective. I'm probably not the best to judge the quality because this is the first time I've really delved into Keene (after my intro via hsi project with Pollard) but I really, really like it. He's a tremendous talent and there's so many great songs. It's really long, lots to crawl through. It's on Spotify if you want to check it out.

Various, Toatuur 2, 2011
Pentangle, Sweet Child
Lindsey Buckingham, Seeds We Sow

Liquid Sky really made a strong impression on me as a kid. I think it was mostly the combination of trippy fluorescent visuals, strange synthesized music, and boobs.

Jon Hassell
Gene Clark and Carla Olson
The Boss
The Fall
folk-rock
Dead Moon
Sun Ra "Lanquidity"
too much music

Lots and lots and lots...

Kassem Mosse
Omar-S (and other FXHE stuff)
DaM-FunK: Toeachizown (completely and totally addictive and immediately mood-lifting)
Theo Parrish (whatever I can find)
Rrose + Bob Ostertag: Motormouth Variations (Buchla synth and wickedly deep bass)
Conforce: Dystopian Elements EP (this is fantastic)
Tevo Howard: The Drum Machine Man EP (outstanding)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8TGWGRWe0s

Miss Lana Rebel - All I Need
Lydia Loveless - Indestructible Machine. This might be the best country album I've heard all year, if not the best album. She's like a more convincing Miranda Lambert and writes funny songs about Steve Earle.
