"worried blues" !!

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.

Just (presently) gimme indie rock

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.

^ Thanks for the heads-up! Love me some Doc Watson and family/friends

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:

Been meaning to get this for a while. It's a canadian heavy rock lp from 1970 based on some of the folk musics from the bands' parents Eastern European roots. It touches on math rock in places, really intricate intersecting lines and things.
Not sure it's what you'd expect from the time. & really weird gruff vocals that might pass for an ersatz beefheart which I assume are humourous.in intention.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/d847b6de06753c78ddf3c746a84b9b38/5699874
compilation of singles and things by Turkish pop singer.
Has some really nice touches in guitar parts and stinging synth but may be a bit close to MOR.
Quite catchy though.
THis was one of a bunch of titles I've been meaning to pick up from Guerssen for a while. Finally ordered them when the shop could actually ship stuff after having been cut off for a while and they took forever to get across Europe. BUt I have them now.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/aed0ed2cc1eb12116f135f791483c384/8027497
Heavyish contemporary psychedelic stuff put out by Cardinal fuzz. It's ok.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/9e08a374f36c40b47dbed570d84f6907/4733967
Pharaway Sounds compilation of Iranian pop singer from the early 70s
Another title from the Guerssen batch. THink I need to listen to it a bit more.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/e469a0022831a72bfbbe5ae8384a62ae/1313773
Jazz rock guitarist turn of the 70s live hard rock lp. Pretty good. ThinK i need to acquaint myself with a lot of stuff right now so didn't play this as much as I should have last week.Think it could grown on me.
