Good stuff from Western Vinyl:

Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith's formative years were spent communing with nature on Orcas Island in the northwest region of Washington state, a place she describes as "one of the most magical and peaceful places I have ever been."


Apparat - Walls (FULL ALBUM)

Walks the line between:

  • Dancefloor
  • Primal rock and roll
  • Jazz LP hiphop
  • Pulsey minimalism

34423 - Affinity Diagram

[bandcamp width=100% height=120 album=2571286125 size=large bgcol=ffffff linkcol=0687f5 tracklist=false artwork=small]

Source: AFFINITY DIAGRAM | NATURE BLISS

An affinity diagram is a way of finding commonalities among seemingly unrelated things. Usually, you grab a stack of post-it notes and listen / read through interview notes. You write down interesting quotes or insights. Then you group them in ways that seem to make sense. Often very pleasantly surprising what comes up.

So it is with this deep-churner of an album. Field recordings and resampled loops coalesce and then rip apart like shattered gold-leaf windows in a martini blender.

Good music for busy bees, drones, and honey chasers of all stripes.

After college, I spent a couple months in Berlin and I still think back fondly on those wild times. Whenever I need a shot of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg beach bar, I reach for Ellen Allien und alles wird gut.

Gnoosic - a music discovery service I like

This is what I've been using in the post-Rdio era. It seems pretty good.

Source: Gnoosic - Discover new Music

It's not like it only has like the top 10 charting artists. There's some pretty deep, obscure music to be found. I challenge you to find a fairly well known band that isn't represented.

Like every other service, the social powered music discovery features just aren't there. If you could get recommendations based on what your friends listen to, ah well that would be amazing.

God, I miss Rdio…


Rob Crow - You’re Doomed. Be Nice.

Summer in Abaddon ranks way up there among my all-time favorite albums.

Gloomy though.. I don't consider Rob Crow's music to be sad. Cathartic maybe. Mostly just mellow.

No – it makes me so darn happy to hear this.

Side-quest: I've had Prints on vinyl since it found it's way into my hands at my old music job, but just this week I discovered one reason why I keep coming back to it.

 

That reason is sometime Rob Crow collaborator Kenseth Thibideau, so I've been digging into his stuff.

Repetition is an good sounding rhythm trip, to me feels like a primeval Pinback.

Also enjoying discovering Tarentel, which gives me the pleasant sensation of visiting a mist-shrouded ice-planet.
