Roo, when talking about his music says "I want to give my listener something. I want it to have substance. I want it to resonate"… With a full ep Know Me Well due anytime soon this is a name you will want to watch for. It is however back in the UK where the source of Roo’s lyrics lies. A Dorset boy by birth, Roo also spent many family holidays in the awe-inspiring landscape of the Lakeland fells. And like many of his favourite romantic poets before him he effortlessly infuses this sense of beauty, landscape and space into his songs. folkradio.uk

Snatch and the Poontangs - The Signifying Monkey (Part I & II)

Snatch and The Poontangs (1969) είναι δίσκος των Johnny και Shuggie Otis με τον Delmar Evans (φωνητικά). Απευθύνεται σε ενήλικες καθώς οι στίχοι είναι σεξουαλικοί.
Johnny Otis (Ioannis Alexandres Veliotes) έχει ποστάρει και η Λένια παλιότερα. Εδώ παίζει όλα τα όργανα με τη συνδρομή του 13χρονου γιου του, Shuggie Otis ως "Prince Wunnerful", στην κιθάρα(!). Ο Shuggie προφανώς είναι μουσικός πλέον. Δυστυχώς δε βρήκα τους στίχους...

Celebrating its anniversary in 2012, Light In The Attic’s 10 year is releasing a series of very special colored vinyl 7”s and digital downloads. The series features contemporary artists covering a track reissued by Light In The Attic on the A-side, plus the original version on the B-side. On this release, Mark Lanegan applies his tobacco-flavored tones to ‘Same Old Man’, a traditional made famous by the haunting New York singer-songwriter Karen Dalton. What Dalton achieves with the traditional instruments of America (notably her celebrated banjo) in her 1971 arrangement, Lanegan re-imagines with strings, droning Indian tones, sitars and sub-continent-sized production.

"Williams isn't just eccentric, she's wacky as hell with her songwriting. Her muses are contortionists who ramble - sometimes it's nonsense and sometimes it's something a little less nonsensical. They are strange and they couldn't care what anyone else thinks about it. There's probably no chance that it could be changed anyway. She makes her songs wonderful abstractions of fantastical imagery and the kind of drifting focus that allows them to bend in many directions, never filling in the blanks in the ways that you'd ever suspect. You can just let yourself feel like a loon as you sing along. It's escapism and you can and should do it in your underwear. It is the default setting".

"Once again, Finders Keepers Records is given unparalleled access to the EMI Pakistan vaults to bring you Life Is Dance, the follow-up to 2010's critically acclaimed groundbreaking Lollywood cinematic pop compendium The Sound Of Wonder! Here you'll find fuzzy, scuzzy, twang-happy, spaced-out and funked up Urdu-grooves complete with harmonium melodies and driven by some of the most random factor, freakish, finger numbing, percussion that the South East Asian mainstream has ever had to offer. Above all, Lollywood soundtracks sound RAW! Re-imagine some of the most action packed Bollywood productions (which Lollywooders actively did) then fire the make-up department, take away the special effects budget and then improvise. The lack of gloss on a dusty Pakistani mini-lp makes for truly experimental Eastern pop music".

Canaille's choice 14/12/2012

Suicide is an American duo that was one component of the late 1970s punk scene on the Lower East Side of New York City, USA. They are also considered to be one of the precusors of the no wave movement that started in the mid-70s and went into the mid-80s. The band consists of Alan Vega and Martin Rev, who used farfisa organs, synthesizers, and drum machines to create their trademark sound. While widely unconsidered and largely disliked during their beginnings, their 1977 self-titled album is considered to be one of the most influential albums of the punk movement and has influenced countless others, including The Jesus and Mary Chain and R.E.M. The grander influence of Suicide's electronic primitivism can be heard in the later music movements of synth-pop, electroclash, techno, and industrial music.

Οι Sancho 003 δημιουργήθηκαν την άνοιξη του 2007 από τους Θεσσαλονικείς Φώτη Σιώτα (βιολί, βιόλα, πλήκτρα, φωνή) και Κώστα Παντέλη (ηλεκτρική κιθάρα). Και οι δυο είναι γνωστοί για τις μουσικές τους συνεργασίες (ο Φώτης έχει συνεργαστεί μεταξύ άλλων με Θανάση Παπακωνσταντίνου, Σωκράτη Μάλαμα, Γιάννη Αγγελάκα και ο Κώστας υπήρξε μέλος των Πίσσα & Πούπουλα και έχει συνεργαστεί επίσης με Θανάση Παπακωνσταντίνου και Γιάννη Αγγελάκα), αλλά το project των Sancho 003 είναι εντελώς διαφορετικό από οτιδήποτε έχουν κάνει στο παρελθόν. Το δεύτερο άλμπουμ τους, με τίτλο Muzga, κυκλοφόρησε το 2012 από την Inner Ear.

A superior lineup of contributors helps make Time Between: A Tribute to the Byrds (1989, Imaginary Records UK/Communion Label USA)one of the better homages of its kind. There are two versions of this cd, an eight-song edition that ends with Wild Mountain Time by Nigel and the Crosses, an alias for the duo of Robyn Hitchcock and Peter Buck, and a 19-song disc that ends with Hickory Wind by Richard Thompson, Clive Gregson, and Christine Collister. Everything on either version is worthwhile, especially the psychedelic renditions of Change Is Now and Draft Morning by, respectively, Giant Sand and the Chills, while Dinosaur Jr. adds a crunching Feel a Whole Lot Better. But what makes the 19-song version really cool, however, is the spaced-out It Happens Each Day, a song that only entered the official Byrds cannon when it was discovered in the late '80s, as done by Static (who also contribute a version of Lady Friend); and Thin White Rope's high-wattage, heavy metal rendition of I Knew I'd Want You. Miracle Legion's All the Things is also sublimely beautiful in its lean, rootsy glory, and the Primevals' Tribal Gathering gets a wonderfully eerie, ominous harmonica-and crunchy guitar-and-feedback-laden performance, before Thompson and company regale us with their mandolin-driven Hickory Wind". ~ Bruce Eder and Jason Ankeny

Canaille's choice 12/12/2012

From Arizona Amp and Alternator lp (2005, Thrill Jockey).

"When something ain't broke around here, we don't fix it," Howe Gelb sings on "AAAA (1)", giving the unofficial slogan for the fictitious Arizona Amp and Alternator, his new, possibly one-off moniker and the concept behind this self-titled album. The prolific Gelb has been doing similar and similarly tossed-off records like this for years, both as a solo artist and with the band Giant Sand. This new project is more conceptual than his usual m.o. and occasionally the mechanic's garage motif seems intrusive, especially on the four "AAAA" songs, which may have something to do with being blue in a red state. Regardless, Arizona Amp and Alternator on the whole captures the pace of a hot afternoon spent lounging in the shade, spouting lawn-chair philosophy over arid desert folk and waiting for the next stranded driver with a stalled automobile".

Από το νέο δίσκο της Bjork με τα remix "Bastards", το Crystalline στη version του Omar Souleyman.

Απ' ότι βλέπω στο wikipedia, o Souleyman είναι Σύρος μουσικός (ελπίζω να μην τον έχω βομβαρδίσει!), ο οποίος έχει αναγνωριστεί διεθνώς πλέον. Έχει βγάλει 5 δίσκους, παίζει σε φεστιβάλ και έχει συνεργαστεί και με τους Gorrilaz σε ένα τραγούδι που δεν έχουν βγάλει ακόμα. Το εντυπωσιακό είναι ότι έχουν κυκλοφορήσει 500 περίπου δίσκοι υπό το όνομά του, το 80% των οποίων είναι από μουσική που έπαιζε σε γάμους. Μετά έδινε ένα cd στο ζευγάρι. Πολλά από αυτά αντιγράφονταν και πωλούνταν κανονικά...
