I've stopped worrying about wasting my office's bandwidth while I'm on their VPN. Bandcamp, Youtube, whatever.
I don't like leaving work in the basement sitting on the computer only to go the the computer upstairs to add different music to my iPod. And I need to keep searching for new things to listen to, even if they're old things. Like last week, I listened to a few records from the jazz saxophonist Pharaoh Sanders; all via Youtube.
1. Black Dice “Pigs” Mr. Impossible
2. Tristen “Baby Drugs” Charlatans at the Garden Gate/em>
3. Scout Niblett “Nasty”* No More Nasty Scrubs 7"
4. A Tribe Called Red* “The Road” Nation II Nation
5. Default Genders “Christmas Card from a Scammer in Minneapolis (Live)”* Pain Mop Girl 2020
6. Up, Bustle & Out “Emerald Alley (Indian Morning Theme)” Funkungfusion
7. Plastikman “Pannikattack” Recycled Plastik
8. LL Cool J “Mama Said Knock You Out” All World
9. Lauryn Hill “Lost Ones (AMR edit)”* The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
T. Patty Griffin “Waiting for My Child” Downtown Church
E. Mylo “Destroy Rock & Roll (Tom Neville's Clean Remix)” Destroy Rock & Roll (US Edition)
*Notes:
3. Janet Jackson cover. Scout keeps the words as Jackson's original: "My name's not 'Baby', it's 'Janet'. Or 'Ms. Jackson' if you're nasty."
5. This is not a live recording. New album (of mostly re-made songs): "i don't really see it is a remix album. [...] [a] point[] of reference one might find to be relevant [is] will oldham's 'bonne "prince" billy sings greatest palace music'...."
9. My edit just removes the 70-second skit at the end.
