Whoa, thx brimstead for the Enchanted Hunters share--well-done electro-pop w/ live drums IMO! Very neat.

Cleaning my basement and going through boxes of old promo CDs. I’ve had five Putumayo African collections on shuffle for the past week. I know they got a bad rap as yuppie wallpaper music or whatever, but I’m finding them extremely comforting right now.

xp Powerage/HtH is the peak, I agree, in retrospect I shoulda thrown on the live one which imo has superior versions of numerous LTBR tunes

Hi no lime, you might like this recent Smithsonian Folkways release, which I haven't heard yet---whole thing is on bandcamp:
https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a2806917993_10.jpg

These largely unheard tapes were recorded at Doc Watson’s two earliest concerts, presented in New York City’s Greenwich Village in 1962. Those shows were among the rare appearances Doc’s father-in-law, fiddler Gaither Carlton, made outside of North Carolina. The instrumental pieces, including Gaither’s signature tune “Double File,” include intricate musical interactions developed through years of family music-making. On the songs and ballads, Doc’s instantly recognizable baritone voice is accompanied by his own guitar and Gaither’s fiddle, or by the traditional combination of fiddle and banjo.

I think that's the first time I've ever properly looked at the illustration on the front of that Black Flag record, damn.

Just listened to this several times in a row---strung out on Whitney yet again (*one* of the questions it brings to mined: was young Elvis Costello ever inspired by "Crimson and Clover"? Not that she sings like him, o hell no)

Thanks! Reminds me, I've gotten strung out on the madly prolific Bergsonist: lots of sets on bandcamp, think this, my gateway, is her full-length debut (what I think of as tabletop, more than [but also] turntable: she's wary of fancy shit like Garageband because too many rules). Casablanca to Brooklyn, graphics designer, party DJ, activist, daughter of surf musician, it's all in there:

(this cover is kind of stunning in real life, btw. the background is embossed with gold foil kind of effect)
