MEANWHILE, i was just listening to this again the other day and i never ever get over how fucking great it is. if you are a psych fan and you don't have it, you needneedneed it! douglas wolk you are a treat!


DBC219 World (of Dreams)'s Who Is Yahdoosh? CD

World (Of Dreams) is Wm. Berger, genius guitarist of Uncle Wiggly, DJ who spearheaded the Krautrock revival with his WFMU show "The Hip Bone," and occasional member of Smack Dab, the Gamma Rays and Princess Superstar. This is his homage to and fantasia on the sound he loves: the sound of Faust, Harmonia and Karuna Khyal, of steam-thick, mind-warping textures, prickly electronic drones and spidery psychedelic guitar. The first album in this series, World Without End, was a limited-edition LP that sold out almost instantly. Who Is Yahdoosh? is a series of five psychic phenomena manifested as extended audio dreams of the secret Autobahn exit in Brooklyn; it's also got three tracks from World Without End, and three more previously unreleased bonus tracks. Timeless and ecstatic, this album will pulse its way into your genes. $10.

and...Other Music announces their mp3 store with an interview in Wired and answers some of the above questions. Wired was right to point out that iTunes files are AAC...128 AAC files sound MUCH better then 128 mp3s, don't know how they compare with 320 mp3s.

http://www.wired.com/news/columns/listeningpost/0,72523-0.html?tw=wn_story_page_prev2

to be honest, I see people shopping at their webstore and when reading a reccomendation or reading a preview, not thinking, "is their a site I can download this at for a few cents less?"

and this may be super effective for really hip underground acts, who may not have the weight to sign up with a big label...I imagine other music style artists selling their music directly via the Other Music site, and OM promoting them...the artists would make a larger cut then if they signed up with an aggregator to get online, or with a label, digital or otherwise.

Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 26 January 2007 16:10 (seventeen years ago) link

something else to keep in mind: OM does a healthy mail order business, and there's no wait for shipping with mp3s. i imagine that segment of their customer base is pretty psyched.

very interesting...i had stopped thinking about this issue untill the other day, now its everywhere...im amazed by coincidence recently...that whole mckenna/collective (un) conscious thing is feeling real powerful these days.

dan, are you saying you think people will read and bounce? or read and buy? i dunno. ctrl-n and jumping to a bookmarked digital seller is a lot faster than leaving om and bouncing over to st marks or somewhere to see if you can save a buck, but...web commerce is as much about immediacy as it discounts...time will tell

ian's damnedright

and yr second pt, dan, is what i was thinking about while reading the article. brings up the old momus v om thing from a few yrs ago. i can see digital sales allowing for om to push the weirder littler artists that used to florish 'cause of consignment sales.

bb (bbrz), Friday, 26 January 2007 16:16 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm saying people will just buy their stuff from OM, due to a combination of ease (they're already at the site) and brand loyalty (they pointed me to this stuff, they deserve my money). I look forward to working with them and hope our distro sets up a deal with them, and considering their support in the past, hope that they'll recommend our releases.

Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 26 January 2007 16:19 (seventeen years ago) link

ok, were on the same page, then.

this reminds me i havent been in there in ages. i'm sure many of us have shopped there, vs. some oher possibly cheaper place, or purchased things we wouldn't otherwise because of our relationship to the store. i think the "need" for relationships is being overlooked in so much e-commerce and discussion of most internet/web based interaction (this is making me feel like i need to go back to school)

bb (bbrz), Friday, 26 January 2007 16:23 (seventeen years ago) link

(oh, and dan, im firing up the old laptop now and will dig up the tgirls review for you in a minute)

bb (bbrz), Friday, 26 January 2007 16:24 (seventeen years ago) link

i am certainly not yer average joe ipod, so my thoughts are not the norm, but i honestly can't imagine paying ten dollars for a downloaded album. and yet, i think that archive site is a cool idea! five dollars maybe. more like four. or three. there is just too much cheap cool stuff out there. not that i buy much of anything via internet - except for ebay...okay, i'll shut up. and then i just think of how awesome the micro-metal world is...deals and deals. and when i think of fractal not being able to sell 500 copies of that awesome boxed-set...i don't know what to think. in metal-land, stuff like this is common:


"To make room for all the upcoming stock we have decide to provide the following special offer: Any ten CDs for $70 (or $50 when shipped without jewel cases)"


i just think small is the way to go. basically.


i am not actually applying this to your situation, dan. i don't even really know what your situation is. i do hope that it has made you happy putting out stuff that you love. and you must get good responses from people. i'm gonna write something about that ike yard cd. very cool stuff. i never knew they existed in the 80's and i was a pretty hep cat.

scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 26 January 2007 16:37 (seventeen years ago) link

ike yard cd on the desk right here...

since were still kinda talking 4cute here...ill throw up this bit from the tg review i wrote....oh god, when that thing come out?. its not as embarassing as i xpected:

Theoretical Girls no method of composition and performance takes in all the left over bits of life and renews their charge. In theirs songs, in their approach, youve got asphalt, baseball, pretty flowers, ham sandwich, bastard on the phone too loud, paycheck, no sleep, perfect cosmo, screenkiss, and crack. In a word: EXPERIENCE. And the electric din raizes the fields of your mind to sew the seeds of modern music.

thats a crap rip off of a great line from "pierot le fou"...


the re-issue thing is very important and tricky business...i do wonder how digital issuing is going to deal with all of that. how is cultural memory going to be changed?

bb (bbrz), Friday, 26 January 2007 16:57 (seventeen years ago) link

Hey Scott...there's so little money in all this and so many ways it has to split, selling stuff for less then that would be really tough. I think enough people are comfortable with the 10 dollar per album rate (2 billion sales on iTunes!) that it doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Maybe if we get in a situation where we can cut out some or all of the middlemen...

back when dhp only had 1 Ron Hardy mix, it was from 82 and had IC Love Affair. Took me 3 years to find out what that fucking song was, and I only got it because Morgan Geist was playing a b-side medley remix from the Gaz Nevada Special Agent Man 12" and little bits of IC Love Affair were in it.

sexyDancer (sexyDancer), Friday, 26 January 2007 21:55 (seventeen years ago) link

i love that long stretch at sort of the beginning that sounds straight outta some "minimal" set and then BAM disco disco disco

acid waffle house (dubplatestyle), Friday, 26 January 2007 21:55 (seventeen years ago) link

are the skips around the 30 min mark (during disco-y "do you like how i feel?" song) bad mixing, record skips, mp3 encoding issues or my shitty computer?

jaxon (jaxon), Friday, 26 January 2007 22:24 (seventeen years ago) link

something.

bb (bbrz), Saturday, 27 January 2007 01:34 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm sure the man has a catheter in

just grabbed his jean-michel jarre 1970-1974 comp, it's interesting. german psych & perrey kingsley cutups so far, wouldn't never have guessed it was him

milton parker (Jon L), Saturday, 27 January 2007 01:40 (seventeen years ago) link

dude is seriously scary. and boy does he make me feel like some sort of newby-dumb-ass. jeezus.

BONERTIME! (ddb1), Saturday, 27 January 2007 02:03 (seventeen years ago) link

ok grabbing the hunger record now...might have to get the jarre. hell, scott, imagagine how i feel!

bb (bbrz), Saturday, 27 January 2007 02:09 (seventeen years ago) link

moving on through the jarre, most of it is really terrible kitschy dinky library music -- proceed with caution

milton parker (Jon L), Saturday, 27 January 2007 02:14 (seventeen years ago) link

shit, i can't get the hunger. i'll have to wait. does anyone here actually pay for rapidshare and the like? how much does it cost?

scott seward (scott seward), Saturday, 27 January 2007 02:15 (seventeen years ago) link

jarre has never been a fave of mine.

scott seward (scott seward), Saturday, 27 January 2007 02:15 (seventeen years ago) link

SOFT CIRCLE FULL BLOOM

there is a soft circle recording finally? i am so out of it re: new releases

the kwisatz bacharach (sanskrit), Saturday, 27 January 2007 02:24 (seventeen years ago) link

hmm, ok..ill hold off. i like jarre enough..and milton's initial comments spoke of things i usually dig..but i trust his hesitancy as well

the hunger (after 2 tracks now)...is pretty damned alright..dark, organled..i expected more instrumental interludes and freakin-out..but its damned nice so far...not compltely mindblowing, but on the right tip cerainly...lets hope they takeoff, though

i dont, scott. i think its best to be limited...ill never listen to it all otherwise...i dump a lot of what i dwnload, but...it still piles up

bb (bbrz), Saturday, 27 January 2007 02:26 (seventeen years ago) link

jarre's pretty silly, no semblance of restraint or good taste in his quest for the space cheese. 76 through 84, good years, scary after that. I liked him when I was 13 and still listen to zoolook sometimes.

milton parker (Jon L), Saturday, 27 January 2007 03:04 (seventeen years ago) link

next time you see a picture of him just imagine him saying 'but this cheese is from space'

milton parker (Jon L), Saturday, 27 January 2007 03:05 (seventeen years ago) link

right now i'm listening to this lucia hwong album that i've had lying around for ages and never listened to. who the hell is lucia hwong??? 1987. Private Music. is she kitaro's lady friend? i kinda like it.

scott seward (scott seward), Saturday, 27 January 2007 03:06 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, there are only a zillion space cheese albums from the 70's that i'd rather listen to than jarre's. i dunno, maybe i just never heard the right one. i mean, i dig oxygene.

scott seward (scott seward), Saturday, 27 January 2007 03:09 (seventeen years ago) link

this is the album i'm listening to:
