This hit the blogosphere a few days ago. I'm sure I'm not the only one here whose checked it out. I've only given it one full listen but I can say one thing: I like this quite a bit.

A record that will smother your mother...
Just came in the mail today. Doesn't get any more classic than this for me. Loved this album forever. Bought it first on cassette as a wee lad, then CD and now vinyl.

Matthewdavid
Another good 'un. Matthewdavid is a producer from LA on the Flying Lotus tip (on his label as well, I believe).
I came up dry on the mediafire tip for this and that Grouper joint so I shelled out my cold hard e-cash on iTunes.
Later.

This is a new release from Jahtari. I've mentioned this label on here before. I love it...even more than Ke$ha!!
Black Chow is a duo made up of Kevin Martin and Kiki Hitomi. Love the title track - a deep pulsating otherworldly bass driven song with Japanese lyrics. One of my favorite riddims of late. You can hear it for free here - http://www.jahtari.org/music/JTR08.htm

HR and the Bad Brains
Went to see HR of the Bad Brains perform a solo gig at Brighton Bar in Long Branch, NJ last night. I've always been a big fan of the Bad Brains and I casually like HR solo raga flavored work. I'm sure a few of you know about HR's...eccentricities. He's " the band's founder, is a mad genius that only America could produce; he's a magnetic, self-destructive, unfocussed/ultrafocussed, brilliant, schizo, frustrating, talented icon whose powers have resulted in a career/non-career that has no parallels".
It wasn't the greatest show but HR hung out in this small club that was probably at half-capacity. He was friendly and talked to all who approached him and took many pics with fans. I'll also note that he might've been heavily medicated. He actually looks like he may be ill. I hope it's only my imagination.
If you have interest in the Bad Brains or HR solo stuff a great selection can be found here.
If you're already hip to the Bad Brains or just want to check out details of HRs (supposed) exploits look at this.

mimaroglu music sales
I ordered some records off of mimaroglu music (run by Keith Fullerton Whitman). He always does a best of year thing, and if anything on there looks remotely interesting i go for it.
Of all the Emeralds side projects out there, for me Colored Mushroom and the Medicine Rocks is my favorite (except for the equally awesome and esoteric "Imaginary Softwoods" record). This LP takes the "best of.." a bunch of CD-R and tape releases and puts on vinyl. It's really good. You can find both of those out in Mediafire world, i believe.
This is the latest in the vdsq solo acoustic series. Limited edition runs of uaffected acoustic guitar by Mark McGuire, Thurston Moore and others, but i got Volume Four, a Fahey-esque guitar soli by Matthew Mullane. Per the site it was "an unsolicited demo that was a revelation in its intricate beauty and unique phrasings. Hailing from small town Ohio, this young player encapsulates everything exciting about modern composition for acoustic guitar. Performed live in one take. No overdubs." It's great. $20.00 bucks says that the first comment on this post is from Rootless, "DC, burn that for me."
Collection of recordings by early electronic composer Tristam Cary. I like the mystique of a lot of that Stockhausen, Cage, etc. vibe but don't find myself throwing it on after work, feel me? But this is actually good to listen to, and has killer samples.
Lastly, on my way back from Home Depot I hit up my new local killer record store (my favorite thing about living in New Jersey, straight up). Found this Max Roach joint I have never seen before, 1968 on Atlantic. Playing with future jazz funk legend Gary Bartz AND Charles Tolliver and Stanley Cowell, co-founders of Strata East Records. Good Shit.
Peace Baba.

Good Dabbling
I have a small interest in early American music, this is a great blog I've been picking at for the last couple of days. A quick browse and you realize by the stuff posted that's not early gospel/country/blues that this dude's got good taste, kind of makes you trust that most of the other stuff he's posting is pretty top notch. I've been checking lots of stuff out and having lots of good moments in that creepy/gorgeous nexus, know where I'm coming from?
