That this unruly  electronic French bîªte was unleashed in 1973 only makes it that much sweeter, the title track off musique concrî¨te maverick Pierre Henry's 17th album.

Sam Shepard :: Where Does A Hero Live?

Sam ShepardPosted on

Through bragging, a lot of early-day American heroes sprang up. Paul Bunyan, Pecos Bill, all those mythic guys emerged from the fantastic "tall tales," mostly based on macho bravado and superhuman strength. Pecos Bill dug the Rio Grande with his bare hands. Paul Bunyan uprooted mighty trees and drank whole lakes in a single sitting. But these guys were totally fictitious. Then there were the real live ones like Jesse James, Billy the Kid, Mickey Free, Buffalo Bill. Tales grew around them mostly out of a giant communications gap between the stolid intellectual East Coast and the wide-open . . .

Terrors :: Ensorcell Qori

TerrorsPosted on

If avoiding the spotlight were an artform, Baltimore’s Elijah Forrest, who performs as Terrors, is expert in its craft. His recordings are spread throughout limited edition split cassette tape releases, usually with strange phonetic titles difficult to define or comprehend. And in terms of priorities, his heart seems more invested in his other project, Lolly Gesserit (he even recommends this project in the Ensorcell Qori liner notes). But while Gesserit is more a dissonant, droning kind of thing, Terrors could be described . . .

Théorî¨me :: L’appel Du Midi î  Midi Pile

ThéorèmePosted on

Transmitting to us via Paris is the one-woman band Théorî¨me. Imagine 60s Yé-yé cryogenically frozen, thawed into 80s industrial no-wave, frosted again, and now set loose into the wild as something wholly new. This is some shit to get on terms with. Her debut lp, L’appel Du Midi î  Midi Pile, was released late last year via Bruit Direct Disques, and needs to be heard to be believed. words /

Michael Nau :: Some Twist

Michael NauPosted on

Michael Nau’s latest long player, Some Twist, finds the Maryland native following the breezy, off-kilter charm of last year’s Mowing, his solo debut. And that is to say it’s great. Album opener “Good Thing” bursts with the gleaming originality that has come to define Nau and his wife Whitney McGraw’s collective work as Cotton Jones, namely the  albums Paranoid Cocoon and Tall . . .

Stardust – Joni Mitchell 1982-2007

Joni Mitchell MixtapesPosted on

While there may not be quite as many highs as from her California days, there's still much to be gleaned from Joni Mitchell's often overlooked post-Mingus period. Even her more forgettable albums from the 1980s offer something to behold, while the mid-1990s volley of Turbulent Indigo and Taming The Tiger  have . . .

The Lagniappe Sessions :: James Elkington — The Kinks Versions

James Elkington Lagniappe SessionsPosted on

Lagniappe (la ·gniappe) noun ‘lan-ˌyap,’ — 1. An extra or unexpected gift or benefit. 2. Something given or obtained as a gratuity or bonus.

One of our favorite records of the year, James Elkington's Wintres Woma is one of subtle nuance, its depth and breadth unfurling with each consecutive listen. Here, Elkington pays tribute to The Kinks, beginning with a proper nod to the greatness of Dave Davies with 1969's "This Man He Weeps Tonight . . .

Fela Kuti :: Music Is The Weapon (Documentary, 1982)

Fela KutiPosted on

Clocking in at an incredibly potent 53 minutes, Music Is The Weapon was shot in Lagos in 1982 chronicling the Nigerian juggernaut that was Fela Kuti. Helmed by French director/cinematographer Jean-Jacques Flori, the film surrounds itself with the interchangeable music/politics that was Kuti's orbit. A weapon, indeed. Stream the documentary in its entirety, below.
