the new squarepusher album "hello everything" has been leaked all over soulseek, and of course i looooove it. kind of a return to the less dense stuff he did like ten years ago (i can't believe it's been ten years ?!?!) and pretty upbeat! |

I was lucky enough to see Squarepusher in concert in the heart of my current Norwich residence. Front row, centre at that. he was preceded by Pierre Bastian, who was pretty brilliant all by himself. Also preceded by Luke Vibert, which I found boring but evidently got the rastafarians bumping. Squarepusher's gig was divided in three parts: Play some classic tunes, yadda, yadda, followed by a badass jam session which he then remixed.
I'm not even a Squarepusher fan, but it was an impressive concert. _________________ "This is the most fun I've ever had without being drenched in the blood of my enemies!" |

so far my favorites are plotinus, hello meow, and planetarium.
something I noticed late last night was that my refrigerator hums in tune to welcome to europe.
I listened to Fuck Shit Up X-Toxic by Rotator today. Not coincidentally, my face got rocked the fuck off today.
The trees are starting to turn! Which means it's time to pull out my fall favorites! Music has the Right to Children by Boards of Canada, Ether Teeth by Fog, Autoditacker by Mouse on Mars, Leo Kottke, The Incredible String Band, and Tom Waits can expect to get some heavier rotation in the next few months. Linda Perhacs too. _________________

I know there aren't a whole lot of hip-hop fans on this board, but I finally picked up Idlewild yesterday, and everybody should listen to the song "The Train". It is one of the best songs I have ever heard. It manages to capture the last forty or so years of soul music with its absolutely stunning horn sets, killer r&b hooks, track break-downs, cohesive sonic diversity, and very apt rhymes and turn all of that into something soberingly final. It's the most uplifting farewell I know.
The rest of the cd is quite good, too. And Lupe Fiasco's debut is certainly worth a listen; at the very least try out the lead single "Kick, Push" which is about skate-boarding and finding a focal point for life that everything else can fit around. _________________ Like you thought you'd seen copter perverts before.

I was really looking forward to Lupe Fiasco's debut, glad to hear that it's lived up to previous expectations. Did you hear Common's last album? "Be"? It was quite invigorating if you dig more spiritually involved stuff, which it sounds like you do.
I just bought Saosin's new album the other day, and was blown away, to hear that over seven of the tracks are just cut and paste from their previous EPs. Well, more like finalized versions of the songs. Big difference I know, but still surprising. It's a beautiful album with some amazingly complicated instrumental focus as well as an emerging vocal effort from Cove Reber. I'm glad they didn't change their image either, they just look like some brooding guys in blue jeans and black T-shirts. Like Thursday and Poison the Well.
What the fuck is up with a lot of bands changing their image into this "stereotypical emo" outfit? This has nothing to do with the bands above, but a lot of other groups, it's strange. _________________

It's trendy and people like it.
Which in itself is a disturbing and worrying development.
Blame Britpop. In fact, blame Britpop for everything. _________________ "This is the most fun I've ever had without being drenched in the blood of my enemies!" |

i'm fine with blaming britpop for a lot of things. what does dressing emo mean? i'm old so you'll have to forgive me. (i automatically think of fugazi)
new current 93 : awesome (ps fuck pitchfork and their fuckwad interviews.)
sleep : liked pot too a lot much, but made good stuff (don't care for om or high on fire, though i will buy the om / current 93 split as well as whatever sunn 0 and current 93 split ends up getting made in the future. sunn 0 is criminally boring.
new mastodon : if you can stand the progs it's ok
new akron family is tasty and filled with hippies but i forgive them!
also, i'm somewhat disturbed to find i like some of the dresden dolls material a lot.
i can't start listening:
my wife insists on playing the new decemberists album all of the time. i do not care for them. at all.
sufjan stevens is boring, like iron and wine, but not totally pussy like iron and wine. so that's something.
scissor sisters are, uh, yeah, good job kids. keep it up. stay in school.
the killers have nice beards. shame about the music.
other things i wish my wife would stop playing:
beth orton. she has a nice voice, but everything else is a flaming pit of shitty.
the last cat power is so fucking bad it hurts. i can't imagine making a record with el p will make her any worse, however, since 0 + 0 = 0
yeah, i just really fucking hate the decemberists.
but vashti bunyan is really good in concert, and i totally wish she'd been my wife's mom so my wife's mom would have been cool and not a total piece of shit like we're stuck with now. _________________

What Sufjan Stevens? I like everything I've heard of him, but Enjoy your Rabbit is an entirely different sort of music. I found it incredible.
I've enjoyed the Decemberists and the Killers too, so ha. _________________ | Little bird fighting against a bat sect game | |

Just thought I'd indicate Enjoy your Rabbit is more electronic instrumental experimental sort of stuff.
Also, apparently he's doing an album for every state? I'm glad artists still undertake epic, conceptual projects. _________________ | Little bird fighting against a bat sect game | |

Sufjan Stevens makes me pretty angry when I hear him. It reminds me of that episode of South Park where Stan's grandpa locks them both in a room and plays him a tape to show him what it's like to be old. "I can't take it anymore! This music is terrible! It's cheesy but lame and eerily soothing at the same time!" Then he agrees to kill his grandpa because he understands what it's like to be old. _________________

dhex, you are forever young in my eyes. Forever young. What I mean is really uber tight black jeans, slick "faux" hair cuts of any kind died like a professional did it. Black hair colors mixed with neon reds/ blues/ and blondes. A bunch of assholes acting cool by piercing their lips and screaming out self-indulgent lyrics full of whiny catchy hooks. Amazingly enough almost all of their Guitarists and Drummers suck ass and they all sign to the same "anti-trendy" labels. See Victory, e.t.c.
No it's not as cool as it sounds, and NO it is not anything like Fugazi. Also Britpop is bad. _________________

you know, talkin' about music.
http://dhex.wordpress.com
still not a lot of reviews up. will take a while.
a point of comparison is good, sometimes. but sometimes people don't like stuff. i have some friends who really like dave matthews band, but they also really liked gybe! so i thought hey, they might appreciate arcade fire (not my thing, but it makes sense to me) and well, that didn't sell.
it's a crapshoot. _________________

So I was listening to a bunch of Django Reinhardt at once, which can tend to make it all sound a little samey if you aren't really paying attention. Then this jumped right up and ripped my head off. Yikes!
I picked up a massive stock of droney stuff used today, largely Richard Youngs but some Windy and Carl and Pelt too.
And then there was a surprise new release from PG Six, which for me is like waking up to find it's not only christmas, but I'm also nine years old again somehow. There was much delight. |

Give the Angels of Light and Michael Gira a listen. Maybe even late Swans.
Gira feels like Banhart is more talented than him, but he's got a Hell of a lot going for him himself. _________________ "This is the most fun I've ever had without being drenched in the blood of my enemies!" |

Well, fuck yeah. And World of Skin. I swear, Blood, Women and Roses is like the distant chants and pleas of a long-abandoned goddess.
Early Swans is interesting, but most definitely not concerned with slightly gothic folk elevation. Soundtracks for the Blind is a truly awe-inspiring album, too.
Is it just me, or are all these industrial/noise musicians turning neo-folk and vice-versa? There seems to be an intriguing, poetic, connection between these genres. _________________ "This is the most fun I've ever had without being drenched in the blood of my enemies!" |

Between Angels of Light and Swans, he's got a pretty intimidating back catalog, so it's all a project I'll devote myself to at some point.
Actually, I bought an issue of Rolling stone when I was 15; there were two 5 star reviews in it. One was Endtroducing.... which I bought and which opened up an entire new dimension in music for me. The other was Soundtracks for the Blind, and I sometimes wonder where it would've taken me if I'd gotten a copy back then.
Oh, that new PG Six turned out to be entirely instrumental, comprising an installation piece he'd done and a couple early works. Too bad, cause his voice is just stunning. Fitting into this gothic folk discussion quite well, really, though he came in from the free folk/improv Tower Recordings collective, rather than anything industrial. Check out The Well of Memory, if you get a chance. |

The private press has some really great songs on it, and some not-so-great stuff on it, but i tend to like that album a lot. I'd check it out before you buy it, maybe. I haven't heard his latest one, which came out, what, a month or two ago?
Pre-emptive strike is really, really great, too, and I might even like it more than Endtroducing. It's a collection of his pre-Endtroducing eps, and I think a couple of exclusive songs. Two of the songs (the "what does your soul look like" ones) are on Endtroducing, and both Pre-Emptive Strike and Endtroducing are really in the same mold.
And! Both Pre-Emptive Strike and The Private Press come with bonus discs that are really good. I don't know what the limitation of them are, so mp3 may be your only hope on those.
There are also all the eps and b-sides, of course, so good luck with those. There's the U.N.K.L.E. album "Psience Fiction", too, and I'm not sure how much of that is Shadow, but he did do something with that if I'm not totally wrong. I haven't heard much of it, but here was a song off of it with Thom Yorke doing vocals called "Rabbit in your headlights" or something that got around a few years ago.
... I didn't I knew this much about his music! I don't think I'm that much of a superfan, but I surprised myself. |

Yeah, Pre-Emptive Strike is the next logical step from Endtroducing. It's a little more sparse and dry, but still quite good. The Private Press is excellent (and in a lot of ways I think it's his best), but the style differs quite a bit from those first two. And The Outsider is, much as I hate to admit it, pretty disappointing. Shadow has a long standing habit of underproducing when there's a vocalist on the track, as there is for 12 of the 17 tracks there. And some of the time it's some third-rate Thom Yorke knockoff, and most of the rappers aren't saying anything worth listening to either. |

Yeah, I get that impression the more I look into it. Didn't Fahey experiment with noise at some stage? I'm just really curious as to why. They are, to me at least, very human and passionate, yet earthy, genres.
simplicio: I suggest starting with Soundtracks for the Blind as far as Swans goes. Then I'd suggest Children of God, The Great Annihilator, Love of Life and White Light from the Mouth of Infinity. Their earlier Young God EP is also quite interesting.
When going for Angels of Light, I'd say first listen to Swans' The Burning World and World of Skin's Blood, Women and Roses and perhaps even Shame, Humility and Revenge.
I'll have to listen to Endtroducing eventually. Sounds like one of those experimental curiosities I tend to be fond about. Give DJ Food's Raiding the 20th Century a listen. _________________ "This is the most fun I've ever had without being drenched in the blood of my enemies!" |

really.
some people have one great work in them, and his was endtroducing (though it sort of sounds like shit now, and not necessarily in a good way). but endtroducing isn't experimental, it's just a good album and everyone can dig it.
the unkle album is terrible. so fucking bad. caveat: i have no use for radiohead or whiney british dudes (all my whining should come from americans, canadians or women) so take that for what it's worth. the private press is embarassing to listen to, like ace of bass but with more thesaurus rappers guesting. i guess one thing you can say is at least he's not using mc chris or any of the other nerdcore minstrelry type stuff.
some of the preemptive strike stuff is ok. some of it is basically an mpc demo. it's not egregiously shitty like the rest of his catalog, however.
swans recs:
white light from the mouth of infinity
love of life
the great annihilator
soundtracks for the blind
children of god / world of skin 2cd
etc
then check out the early stuff if you like no wave screaming. i do, sometimes, and raping a slave is a great track to drive the neighbors away.
i do not recommend the burning world, however. _________________

I listened to the new My Chemical Romance album at work yesterday (this guy brought it in). It's a lot poppier than their last album and has 90% less songs about killing people and/or getting raped in prison. |

This is true pretty much. But!
The mixtapes he did with Cut Chemist, like Product Placement and Milk, are very good. So are his DJ sets if you can find them. I can guarantee you're going to hear a whole bunch of amazing tracks you've never heard in your life if you get to listen to one of them, mostly old psychedelic and and Hip-Hop records but with some other surprises in there, like once he played a steel band cover of Gary Numan's Cars. There's also a recording floating around of a live set he did with Cut Chemist and Numark which is entirely done on MPC sampler machines, no records at all, which is amazing.
The Private Press and The Private Repress have a smattering of good tracks on them each, but aren't great. Quannum is boring, UNKLE is pretty naff, and what I heard of the new album was even more boring than the stuff he did with Quannum, so avoid that.
I would also recommend finding Cut Chemist's remix of The Number Song and Z-Trip's remix of Right Thing. There is also a 'Tokio Ghetto Tech' remix of Right Thing which uses the same beat as The World According To Carp and Sheep by Kiiiiii, so if you get both you can play them over the top of each other and it sounds like one song! Hope this helps!
P.S. I'm not a Shadow superfan either. In fact until a couple of years ago I thought he looked like Shadow from the Gladiators (right).

Yeah... their last CD was actually really, really good even though it got labeled as a teenybopper "emo" CD (it was actually a rock opera, and a deep one at that), and it had ridiculous amounts of both violence and demonic imagery. You know there's something special about a CD when it has songs called "You know what they do to guys like us in prison" and "It's not a fashion statement, it's a fucking deathwish".
Or maybe I'm just a sucker for songs with long titles. |

this is called "pushing buttons" and is the bonus disc on 'the private press' and is also a video extra on the live dvd thing he put out a little bit ago (which is pretty decent. more than just spinning records, but some interesting twists on a live dj set). |

I got it on a white label 12" which had nothing but 'LIVE!' written on it in the Private Press font, so I thought maybe it was super obscure.
I want an MPC now. |

This is beautiful stuff. Wasn't the song Strangely No popularised somehow? It sounds familiar. In any case, this reminds me of Telefon Tel Aviv and 808 State, for some reason, and I'll have to look further into them. _________________ "This is the most fun I've ever had without being drenched in the blood of my enemies!" |
