listening to this is homework: 90s anthropology

i'll keep the single though-- and then toss the now-dated, forgettable rest

I have always been amazed at how RH went from this to OKC in just 4 years.

It’s part of a series of compilations, like the other Switched On releases, but it has some unreleased stuff on it and it’s really good, so whatever

yeah i figured it out eventually as you can see. my first reaction was of course to do a few somersaults haaahaaahaaa.

anyway, now listening to this peculiar thing

 

well not in vinyl form. but that orange looks amazing.

see here: https://editionrecords.com/releases/...t-wait-for-me/

which i found in a jazz playlist

it's pretty mellow and nothing crazy and i really like her voice. it's got some interesting production also. she's got other bands i'll be looking for.

can't find in the usual spots though

eta: found 4 snowpoet albums in apple music variously filed under "ambient" "vocal jazz" and "jazz"

cant find her solo stuff right now but maybe it will materialize eventually

Wire went from Pink Flag to Chairs Missing to 154 in three. And they're ALL A+, 10/10, five-star albums. OK Macintosh is overrated donkeydongs.

Not sure what's larger, your hateboner for Radiohead or your loveboner for essentially any woman between 18 and 90.

Anyway...last night I relistened to Have a Nice Life's 2008 classic Deathconsciousness. It's not an all-time great like some zoomers say, but it's pretty good for what it is and I like the vibe.

karma police, arrest this man! he talks in maths, he buzzes like a fridge, he's like a detuned radio!

cmon kid a, this is a party--please be fun at it? no?

here's a great little jonathan glazer video

yes it was good. not everyone has to like it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

plus i like this cover for the evening chillout

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTtTzoM_HlY

it's really a decent little melody

Been listening to this compilation during a long drive yesterday - it's called 'Alterity'. Totally mind blown about what I heard. I'm not that into this fringe cutting-edge mindfuck electronics, but this is really something else.
It's mostly leaning towards afrofuturism, complex polyrythms, etc. Very interesting.

Link to that playlist: https://www.electronicbeats.net/top-...n-houndstooth/
I'll try it lateron perhaps, but usually it's not my kind of music



This one looks interesting though, I'll definitely try it out:

Yeah, Pink Flag was already brilliant. Pablo Honey is just truly embarrassing.

thanks for this. been checking it out on/off since you posted. the one that got my attention the most was the chinese artist, 33emybw. lots of chinese drums in some of her other tracks--really different from what one hears normally in this part of the world. her 2019 album is inspired by... arthropods! which reminds me of jean painlevé and ylt's "sounds of science".

see: https://ra.co/dj/33emybw

the other one that got my attention was the ugandan... slikback. eta he's actually kenyan but works out of kampala where apparently there's an important music scene. https://slikback.bandcamp.com/album/-
