Le Onda Pesada De Ernan Roch Con Las Voces Frescas

Ernan RochPosted on

No, that isn't a photo of Justin Long, that is Ernan Roch. I have WFMU to thank for my original introduction to his LP, Le Onda Pesada De Ernan Roch Con Las Voces Frescas, and these gents for the recent reminder. An English language Mexican psych album from 1971, this one is heavy on the south of the border fuzz---and if "The Train" hasn't been comped yet, I'm sure it is only . . .

Julian Lynch :: Just Enough

Julian LynchPosted on

Along with a considerable amount of music, my 'songs of 2010' list was capsized a little while back in an epic hard drive failure. Remember kids, back your shit up. So while you won't find a list proper this year, I do want to highlight some favorites including the below; Julian Lynch's "Just Enough," off his LP, Mare

The Beatles :: Christmas Singles Club, 1963-1969

Holiday The BeatlesPosted on

From 1963 to 1969 the Beatles issued limited edition Christmas fan-club singles on 7 inch flexi-discs. All very relaxed and off the cuff, it's interesting to note how the cover art changed, along with the music, as the sixties rolled along. Download and details after the jump....

William Sheller :: Excitissimo 7″ (France, 1969)

William ShellerPosted on

Taken from the soundtrack to Gérard Pirî¨s' 1969 French-Italian drama Erotissimo, this guitar-driven psych nugget has recently re-instated itself into my DJ sets. At a quick, no nonsense, 1 minute and 14 seconds the track rips through the PA at a propulsive clip. Excitissimo.

Milton Nascimento/Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy :: Cravo î‰ Canela

Milton Nascimento Will OldhamPosted on

Revisiting Will Oldham and Tortoise's 2006 collaboration, The Brave And The Bold, last week spawned some interesting offline chatter about what it means to cover an artist. While much of the discussion was centered around familiar positions and attitudes, the consensus was (not surprisingly) that most everyone tends to prefer an interesting re-interpretation to a more catholic version of the source material.

David T. Walker :: Lay Lady Lay/Plum Happy 1970

David T. WalkerPosted on

In the hands of David T. Walker, "Lay Lady Lay," a cornerstone of Dylan's Nashville Skyline, slides into a jazzy, languid, space residing somewhere just shy of early 70s porn groove and after-midnight lounge. I use neither descriptor as pejorative. Found on the Tulsa-born session guitarists 1970 solo joint, Plum Happy, the track, while devoid of the original's intent, works on the same level as contemporary George Benson's become a member or log in.

Mosco Tiles Fonclaire Steel Orchestra :: Black Man’s Cry

Mosco Tiles Fonclaire Steel OrchestraPosted on

In the yesteryear that was the late 90s, I clerked with a guy at a record store who prided himself an authority on all sounds foreign. As in, that was his shit---his domain. And while at times he could be a little too precious about it, he was incredibly knowledgeable/enthusiastic, and took me to school daily on all matter of stuff traipsing the continents of Africa to South America. Not unlike one's first exposure to jazz, the experience was---in part---a matter of just learning the various nomenclature and the ever so . . .

Group Inerane :: Guitars From Agadez Vol. 3

Group IneranePosted on

This, the third volume in Sublime Frequencies exceptionally great Guitars from Agadez series, doesn't let up a bit in terms of sheer consistency. Two guitars, bass and drums, the music (described as the 'now sound' of Niger’s Tuareg guitar scene) explores Saharan modes, rising and falling into electrified drones reminiscent of the delta and hill country electric blues drifting out of juke joints some 3,000 miles away. Highly recc'd; part of my become a member or log in.

2010 Year In ReviewPosted on

I'm scrapping the usual year-end wrap up and instead dropping an old school form letter on you. Just like the kind your granny used whip up and put inside her Christmas cards. So sit down, eat some peanut brittle, and we'll get right into it after the jump.

Westerberg’s Wedding Songs

Paul Westerberg The ReplacementsPosted on

Marriage: it's why we're gathered here today. It only makes sense that the most common of lyrical subjects, love, would see its supposed apex, the wedding, represented time and time again in popular song. But two's company, three's a crowd and rarely is a wedding simply about just the folks getting hitched. Otherwise, why bother asking if anyone objects to the union?

At two bookend points of his career with the Replacements, Paul Westerberg tackled weddings from the perspective of a man in the audience who is an ex of the bride-to-be, and looking . . .
