My friend's nephew has a great new record out today:

Indie pop with some Nirvana-ish chord-changes and fun wordplay.

Wow. That is a cover.

oh, they had some interesting cover concepts

Are there a couple of ya Ho wah covers that look very similar set around the white rolls. I thought the one i was familiar with had Father Yod on top of it.

(not sure if it was used as an album cover or not, most of the yod stuff i have is mp3)

I saw Djin Aquarian play with Plastic Crimewave as his backing band at a art/punk space a few years ago, was pretty awesome heavy psych, he looks like Dumbledore joined Jefferson Airplane

live/dead

i can't get anyone in my life to listen to this for more than 30 seconds but it is perfect for morning time:

anouar brahem
blue maqam

https://i.imgur.com/ZA8rgnD.jpg

love this guy, his Barzakh album is ace as well and Astrakan Cafe (with classic ECM opulence - recorded in an ancient monastery for the acoustic qualities!).

There have been a few live sets by Anouar Brahem turned up on Dime over the last year that have been quite good.
His backing band is now known as the Blue Maqams but I think the line up is different.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/98900bb666840739d928b4b21034570f/4246641

NOt sure what of his I've heard. Was listening to this last night too and very impressed by it but didn't think I'd heard it as it. Think I've heard other things heavily echo it though but wasn't sure exactly what, some of it seems very Beefhearty or at least like it was picked up on by the early magic Band.
Primal earthy stuff

his "i do not play on rock and roll" album is alltime class!

on no

xposts: is that comp drawn from the lomax recordings? the blues collection i have from that has some sweet fife + drum action (need to hear more of that!)

ZZ Top Marquee london 1983
I don't remember this which must have been talked about at the time. I think the band had broken through to the next level at least by then so surprised they played this place. maybe it was only after the mega selling lps o fthe time taht they did become taht popular in the UK. I thought they were playing massive places in the US at least at the time.
This is powerful anyway.

Sky Cries mary live set from 2004.
i used to really like the studio lps so should dig them out. Don't remember having live stuff.
Very spacy psychedelic rock for a bunch of people who came together as neubauten fans

certainly surprised by the early work of Kevin Drumm.. this is well-engaging, with a strongly varied dynamic range, etc.

Somehow I missed this at the time which is 20 bloody years ago. What a great mélange of electronic & acoustic music.
