I don’t really know when I realized that the Breeders’ Last Splash was something special. It might have been the summer of 1999. But it is, and so this was a fun read for me.
Anyways, you may now share your random tens for the week.

I like music do you? Maybe we could talk about music today? You start. May already? I’ve wasted March and April/This Spring/This Year/My Life. Oh hey, as the Hitman pointed out to me, there’s a New Colin Stetson album out! New History Warfare Vol. 3: To See More Light. Four tracks have Justin Vernon of Bon Iver singing on them and so far I haven’t liked that much on [...] If no one’s here, I’ll just make a pot for myself. What are you listening to? I might’ve had something to write, but then HPR puked up his ballpark fare in his bed and I sat up with him to make sure he got everything else into the bucket. Post a random ten today, then pick one of those songs to be your walk-up/warmup music. Unless you don’t want to. Murder by Death is a band that I wished I liked more. They’ve toured with Ha Ha Tonka twice, and are now on the same label, Bloodshot. Unfortunately, I just find their songwriting weak and hookless: nothing to draw me in or make me want to come back, except for a few jokey things about [...] I’m driving to New Ulm this morning with my family. First time home in more than 18 months. I’ll probably be away from the internet all weekend. Apropos of nothing (other than listening yesterday): Is Fog’s “Pneumonia” the best song to come out of Minneapolis since Purple Rain (and disallowing any later Prince)? Listen and decide for yourself (Lyrics contain profanities): “The casserole was good and the drives were so nice. Welcome to the worst part of your life.” I’d also entertain [...] So far, I’ve played for y’all two of the pieces of music I’ve made. Today, I’m going to share a piece that I’m pretty sure is my favorite thing I’ve ever done. Called “Mbeer“, I assembled it solely from one short .wav file of Homer Simpson saying “Mmmm…beer”, and teasing it all until it fell [...] I did a full iPod purge last night. Cleaned it full off and started a new list from scratch of what I wanted. Although much of that was good stuff, I needed some different good stuff, y’know? I’d guess that the iPod has 90% new content (vs yesterday). Watch as my random ten looks the [...] I put this up a few weeks ago, but didn’t get any comments. One more try. Funky drummer + Xenakis. Otherwise, y’know, share your random ten. I’m in the midst of an iPod Purge myself. Not an iTunes Purge, just moving things off the iPod and moving new things to it for some variety. I hope that’ll show up in my random 10 later today. PS. This looks rad. What are y’all listening to today? Drop your random list in the LTEs section, and let’s discuss music. I wrote to Zack on Twitter yesterday that the Radio edit of Jay-Z feat the UGK’s hit single “Big Pimpin’” was one of those songs I liked better in the radio edit. I re-listened to the whole radio edit after that. Bun B [...] List day! 1. Last week I mentioned the beat I made (back in 1999 or 2000) combining James Brown and Iannis Xenakis. Well, here it is, for your listening and downloading pleasure. The James Brown and funky drumming is obviously from “Funky Drummer”, and the strings and horns are from ST-X Ensemble’s 1996 recording of [...] Let’s discuss music. Start with 10 songs randomly produced by your iTunes/iPod/other media player/music service/etc., and let’s see what topics arise! Or just start with some other musical topic, Other citizens are bound to have thier own opinions! /Jon Bois’d So I’ve listened to a bunch of things folks here and elsewhere mentioned on their various “Best of 2012″ lists and such. Somehow, my favorite new discovery is a single from 2007 reworking a single for 11 years prior: Happy Friday Music People! I hope that you are enjoying the fine weather out there in Music Land! Why don’t we start things off with everyone telling us ten songs that show up on a “random” or “shuffle” feature of their music device or service of their choice? Then we can just riff from there, [...] At the end of 2011, I really sat down with my thoughts on what I had listened to and what I had sampled and everything and when it was done, I wrote this really cool long thing that I thought was awesome. But I had been drafting that for more than a month. My music [...] |
