Nice, Generics and Everything Else

I. Directional counter balance. To fill my quota of non existence rule, here is a perfectly pop-ish list. Yes, this snark has to end sometimes, but on serious side, I do have to post something less extreme so later I can get away with exotic stuff. I cobble this in about 5 minutes. If it isn’t up to usual lists, use the comment section to complain. eh hmmm…

Generic Pop List

01. Nelly Furtado - Say It Right
02. Money Brother - Reconsider Me
03. Tapes ‘n Tapes - Insistor
04. New York Rifles - Redlight Suppertime
05. Bobby Baby - Bobby

II. Noteable recent album releases. Since Moka is on vacation, I’ll gobble all the good CD’s and do my mini pre-reviews now. Fuller playlist later.

Bring Me The Workhorse by My Brightest Diamond. A beautiful album done by Shara Worden. She is opera singer by trade, sings with Sufjan Stevens and it shows. Her voice is somewhere between Mia Doi Todd and PJ Harvey, but all her songs are intimate. Strings, guitar, layers, and close mic, very close. This album would be my top choice for Fall. (Release date is August 22)

01. My Brightest Diamond - Disappear

The Avalanche by Sufjan Stevens. Obvious season pick. His usual fare of music, outakes from his last album Illinois.

02. Sufjan Stevens - The Henney Buggy Band

WWI by White Whales. A retro 70’s rock album, in tradition of Led Zeppelin. It’s a familiar work with interesting story to tell.

03. White Whales - The Admiral

S/T by Brightblack Morning Light. A slowcore gospel mixed with California psychedelia. One of my recent favorite.

04. Brightblack Morning Light - Everybody Daylight

Mobile by Glenn Kotch. A Jazz experimental album, percussian work really. It has two tracks I really like. The whole thing is academic, but not without its lyrical moment.

05. Glenn Kotsch - Projections of (What) Might. . .

Bossa Nova Annex

A small bossa nova anex playlist. Despite being short, this list lies smack in the middle of “bossa nova”. A mix between samba and jazz, bossa nova becomes popular around the 60’s. It goes as far back as 1953 whn Brazillian guitarist Laurindo Almeida and Texas-born bassist Harry Babasin combines the two styles during a show at Hollywood’s 881 Club. In Herbie Mann description, Bossa nova shows that a player can be lyrical and still swing, that one can be masculine without shouting, and has long line that is important in jazz. Bossa nova was born to be cool and sensuous. It’s the best combination music has to offer when the time demand. This list below are mainly from Blue Notes Records which is the epicenter of 60’s jazz evolution with a mix of cool here and there. enjoy.

01. Stanley Turrentine - Wave
02. Stan Getz & Joao Gilberto - O Grande Amor
03. Stan Getz - Summertime
04. Dexter Gordon - Love for Sale
05. Joe Henderson - Blue Bossa

Five Easy Lists for Lovers d.New Wave

Wee hour soft whisper.

Old redo of a dissonance list. I’ve been trying to create a list that capture distinct texture of modern noise rock that brings out strange yet gentle delirium. Similar to Shoegazer but much more alien, primordial at the same time modern. It’s a bit like one’s feeling turned inside out during a wee hour lover confession. Nothing would be the same anymore yet everything remains. What is bitter is sweet and what is sweet is sweeter.

01. Kevin Shields - Are You Awake?
02. Sonic Youth - I Love You Golden Blue
03. Polvo - Enemy Insects
04. The Dead Science - Gamma Knife
05. Karate - One Less Blues
06. Blonde Redhead - I Don’t Want U
07. The Mercury Program - Egypt
