Velvet Underground, loads. Just redownloaded alot of live material byu them after having the drive they were on crash earlier in th eyear. I'm stil hoping I can salvage some of the stuff from that drive cos it had a few other great somewhat avant artists on too.Just listening to the new official version of Columbus '66 & it does sound like there is some improvement. Though Run Run Run sounds a bit less like the flattening of Dresden than the way I've always loved it.
Also bits of Pink Floyd
Been going through some of archive.org's Grateful Dead streaming while at the course while working on things. Wish there was something like that for other artists I'm into. Well I guess there are another load of artists covered on th esame archive but wish the Velvets and a few others had the same resources. Might have to suffice with early dream Syndicate which is no chore.

Have also had a great live set by White Heaven I've got on my walkman turning up large chunks. THis is a set that fits the descriptionof Quicksilver Messenger Service meets Black Sabbath much better than the first lp did which always sounded to me much more like Galaxie 500. Still ok, just not as legendary as early descriptions sounded.

THink I got it off Dime back around 2007 when I first started torrenting, if it's the one I think it is.
Walkman is a 20GB ATrac thing that is constantly on random so comes up with things unexpectedly. Yesterday it managed to play both the Pogues song about chunks of Gold in California and a 30s American recording of an Irish song that the Pogues one seemed to borrow from , though the songs aren't interlinked on there. I was most impressed.
I always liked the way ATRAC random play worked, calls itself 'intelligent shuffle' and it does seem to be almost conscious. Not really sure how the i-pod version compares.

also got 4 awesome original 45 rpm new zealand pressed sex pistols 12 inches and i've been playing them at the store every day really loud before and after i open. they're sooooo loud. booming bass. the way i always wanted the songs on the album to sound. god save the queen/do you no wrong, pretty vacant/no fun, holidays in the sun/satellite. haven't played the my way one yet but i guess i should. was never a big fan of that one but it would probably sound cool anyway. the b-sides in general sound just as great. satellite is awesome.

i bet i'm the only person in the world who is listening to oxide and neutrino right now.
which is probably the antithesis of the current love of slo-mo bass heavy sounds.
the uptempo jerky stop-start rhythms, and high-end focus sounds are v. different to the production love of 2012.

The 6ths - Wasps' Nests. I am increasingly starting to suspect that this is Stephin Merritt's best album. New Crystal Castles album. The last track is really mesmerizing. I don't like it as much as their previous album but I think I rate that album more highly than anyone else. Scott Walker - Tilt. I am having a difficult time getting into Scott Walker's latter day albums, but I am making a sincere effort, starting here.

very nice. amazing how the frogs calm you down. in the botanical garden in berlin-dahlem they have this small pond. in summer i just passed by, heard some noises and then had a closer look. there were dozens of frogs everywhere, the more time i took the more frogs i saw. some were copulating, most of them not moving at all. nature is so unbelievably rich.
