Zwijg me (niet) van de laatste kutgroep uit Engelang! Crazy Squids feeding off houseplants (and cowbell);
This old fart is happy to keep on bopping to new music such as the Brownswood (Merci Gilles) backed Swindle, here with Kojey Radical;
Live version of a great new song by a new (super-)band by one not-so-new (Conor Oberst) and (given her age) one newish artist (Phoebe Bridgers). Somewhat reminds me of the alternative rock-scene of the nineties (Hole, Throwing Muses and whatnot) and that is a good thing!
So I forgot to post my customary love-declaration for the month of September, which is as I’m sure everyone will agree the most beautiful month in the world. But when looking outside it still feels very much like September and maybe I was just waiting for Chilly Gonzales to release this beautiful Septemberish tune, which he did last week;
Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood Recordings released a compilation album “We Out Here” with a lot of talented young musicians from London’s vibrant Jazz scene and below documentary with the same name adds context to that.
20 years ago I was somewhat into techno and stuff, especially the left-of-center music (and DJ sets) guys like Carl Craig and Stacey Pullen released.
Times change and that jazz thing has caught on pretty big the last couple of years for me. And now there’s Japanese Jazz-maestro Toshio Matsuura covering Carl Craig’s “At Les”. How great is that, right!?
Can’t say I know tUnE yArDs’ music that well, but the new material seems somewhat more electronic, dance-y. But man do they do a great job live!
