Mount Eerie

I have Mount Eerie’s Lost Wisdom is heavy rotation.
Its cool to hear something from Phil Elverum who I havnt listened to since The Microphones Glow, Pt. 2. Listening to this in hindsight makes me feel as if I should go back through and listen to some of the later Microphones albums and try to get [...]

An Update!

I’ve been really into this Vetiver album I found, sound wise it reminds me of Lambchop whose album Nixon I had a brief phase with earlier this year. Unlike Lambchop, Vetiver has more straight forward lyrics and isnt quite as subtly twisted as Lampchop.
There are some videos on youtube that contain clips of Vetiver performing [...]

Another update

Dear blog I never write in,
I’m writing in you today (tonight) because I have stumbled into Sonny J’s Disastro, which is such an amazing album that I cant figure out why it doesnt show up on hardly anyone’s radar. 
This is the album I have been looking for in all the wrong places these past couple [...]

Standing on a Speaker Saxophone Guy is Back

The gentleman who stands upon the speaker while playing the melody to popular tunes on his sax-a-ma-phone has come back out for the summer. 
I remember him for routinely being in the Copley area at approximately 5pm on a regular basis last year during June and July. Luckily he wasnt doing “You Make Me Feel Like [...]

More Watts and Eastern Thoughts

I was finally able to finish listening to the Alan Watts lecture series Out of Your Mind. 
I even went back and listen to a couple of the CDs twice, especially the parts on Hindiuism, Buddhism, and Zen. 
The collection of lectures helps put things in perspective when you have no starting point for reference, it would [...]

“Connection” Side Notes: 5/7/08

Some side notes:
-Aurgasm had done a post a few months back on Lefties Soul Connection. I had first heard of them about a year ago when I had picked up Fabric Live Vol. 26, which included their song “Welly Wanging” in the mix. This lead me to Skimming the Skum. While it had a strong funk [...]

More Disco and Boogie Compilations

I’ve spent many of my recent work hours clocking in some serious time on two compilation albums. 
1.) The American Boogie Down: America’s Lost Disco, Funk, & Boogie
This compilation consists of both a mixed track and a collection of separate full tracks. The mix begins strong and funky smooth and spacey with Galaxy’s “Visions of Tomorrow” and [...]

Gunther-Palozza in Boston?

I was over a friends place the other weekend, in one of his roommate’s bedroom/attic spaces watching videos by Gunther. 
I had only become aware of him once before when I was over there. But out of sheer chance it turns out that Boston is the city that is tentatively being considered [...]

New England Metal and Hardcore Festival: 4/26

I managed to make it over to the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival in Worcester yesterday. Unfortunately they were sold out of day tickets by the time I showed and we instead grabbed a few drinks at Irish Times across the street. 
Irish Times was an your average sports bar, although I was told it [...]

Under-cutting the loft

I had intended to spend most of my day at working listening to Dotan U.S.’s Loft Classics, Vol. 1- but found myself consistently sidetracked.
According to this website Loft Classics is a mix of songs frequently played at exclusive parties thrown by a guy named David Mancuso that went on to influence many a DJ. The [...]
