What are you listening to 2016?

http://elmanifiestodelasmaquinas.blogspot.com/2012/10/neo-zelanda-retrospectiva.html

'Extenso mundo brillante' and the first 7" is highly recommended if you're into 'Automatic Writing' & Zoviet-France circa 1980-1983

Caetano Veloso & JOrge Mautner: Eu Não Peço Desculpa - for months. hugely variegated CD of samba bossa tropicalia with cutesy kitsch & traditional styles vying against some pretty wacky production (trapsy, moogs, paul leary-esque guitar?)veloso's angelic croon against mautner's drunken clown act. verily tis a keeper

Wasn't the Tommy James & the Shondells history a bit complex. I think his first big hit was several years after initial release or at least recording. Is that Hanky Panky? & something like recorded '62 national hit '65 or am I remembering that wrong?

They cut "Hanky Panky" in early 1964 and it was only a regional hit in the midwest. The band broke up the next year when they graduated from high school and all went their separate ways. During 1965 the song started getting traction in Pennsylvania from local DJs and bootleggers responded by pressing thousands of copies (80,000 according to wiki -- the black market really helping artists in this case!). In April 1966 Tommy James visited New England to promote the newly hot single, recruited a new Shondells for touring, and then sold the "Hanky Panky" master to Roulette Records. With a bigger label and national promotion, it ended up blowing up in July 1966.

Indeed.

been listening to "A Nice Pair" a lot recently myself. i love that alt version of "Astronomy Domine"

i thought the astronomy domine on the us version of a nice pair was just the live take from ummagumma? some of the early us pink floyd releases are kind of confusing...

I am patiently waiting to see which album with a divided cover you'll listen to next...

hope it was worth the wait!

Yesssssss

Not heard this before, comes from 1972 seems pretty promising.
Probably not quite Paebiru but quite tasty anyway

Msn, what else is Paebiru and can I have it sent to me ASAP pls

And I'm listening to my Funkadelic & Parliament morning mix playlist.

Almost exclusively bands with female vocalists. I dunno, male vocalists just don't do anything for me nowadays

xp i thought the right one was a Whitehouse reissue for a minute

http://i67.tinypic.com/24cseub.jpg

listening to the stuff i got at the record show today:

A.F.T. - Automatic Fine Tuning - Charisma - 1976

Steve Piccolo's Domestic Exile – Materiali Sonori – 1983

Bobby Timmons – The Soul Man – Prestige - 1966 (nice first pressing)

Julius Watkins & Charlie Rouse – The Jazz Modes – Atlantic – 1959 (beautiful 1st pressing. Such a stunning copy.)

William DeVaughan – Be Thankful For What You Got – Roxbury – 1974

Paulo Mauro – Blazing Brilliance From Brazil – Tangerine – 1972

Jacques Michel – SOS – Le Disques Zodiaque – 1971

Michael Howell – In The Silence – Milestone – 1974

The Golden Earring – Eight Miles High – Atlantic – 1969

Flashlight – S/T – Philly Groove – 1978 (A Tom Moulton mix I'd never heard and which sounds completely amazing...)

Jerry Jeff Walker – Five Years Gone – Atco – 1969 (Pristine hipster jerry jeff for five bucks!)

Fluff – S/T – Roulette – 1972

Midnight Sun – S/T – Kapp – 1972

Chilliwack – S/T – Parrot – 1970

Is that the double Chilliwack with the weird echo chamber stuff? I love that record.

no, the double album is their second album. this is their first. which is also very cool.

think you would like the AFT album a bunch:

so happy to get that midnight sun record. such a nice copy too. this is the showstopper to end all showstoppers. guitars for days.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMdN17DhzSA

that transition around the 8 minute mark from lightning shred prog into heavy boogie riff kills me to death. and then i am reborn and then i die again.

yeah, just start it at 8:00 and listen from there. yeeesh.

i don't know who i'm talking to.

gottpunch, i guess, if he's around.

wwwwwwowwwww, splendid, thank you skot! Great testimonial, too. Though personally, I wouldn't want to *just* start it around the 8 minute mark (although that does kill!), cos it had even non-prog me from the beginning. Sunny Sunday fluid dynamics-->heavy boogie seems like a classic Groundhogs move, though come to think of it not sure they ever did it this well. Guy in YouTube Comments proclaims them as Scands (says they're Danish) compatible, I'd say, w Trad, Gras, Stenar at their best or best intended, and other musical ancestors of Dungen, for isnt. Same commentator recs Ache who also are Danish and Popul Vuh(Not The German Band)/Popol Ace who are Norwegian Anybody know those? Thanks again!

That Midnight Sun track is a jam, kinda similar to Focus. Is the rest of it that upbeat?

Fun fact: the piano player in Midnight Sun played on one of the first Albert Ayler albums, My Name Is Albert Ayler.

(Midnight Sun were originally called Rainbow Band and they put out an album a year before the Midnight Sun album with an earlier version of "Living On The Hill" which is on Youtube. They basically re-recorded the Rainbow Band album for the Midnight Sun album. Which doesn't happen every day. Both albums are great. If you need more...)

Info on that Peter Maxwell Davies, please! Esp. listening experience.

to be honest, most of the listening experience for me consists of "ïs it over yet?" it's long... very, very long. a few moments where things seem to be working up to a dramatic point, but mostly listen to this as background sound. though to be fair it is a score for an *avant-garde* ballet, so the visual component is entirely lacking. still trying to find a way into his later works.

as far as his other (earlier) compositions, would recommend eight songs for a mad king in the julius eastman recording (doesn't seem to be on youtube!) also really like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFQ35dZbstc

Thanks! Yeah,eight songs... is the title I've seen most frequently, will check.
Scott, of course more Midnight Sun Rainbow Band (needs to be here and now)!

btw an earlier production put on by that ballet company was soundtracked by savage rose!
