What track/artist has got you all obsessive this week..?

[Boi Bach o Bethel]

A long time want finnaly nabbed at a good price. It ticks all the boxes for many a board member too, Femme vox through electronics . Loads of wibbly electronics , tough drums , hip label (John Fahey's labelmates ) Proof is in the pudding give em a listen

Plus 'Granfalloon' is a Kurt Vonnegut reference

[peter sundae]

Somebody mentioned Jonathan Richman in the '..mostly listening' thread few months back . Been canning a copy of the first Modern Lovers LP this morning. Good recomendation whoever it was.

Oh Jesus christ somebody help me, where has the spell check gone ?...and and these smileys look wrong Raymond ?....Raymond.

i'm really obsessed with this not not fun album KWJAZ - KWJAZ (2011)

First transmission from the post-plastic sublime of KWJAZ. Mixtape-suite that passes the more esoteric sides of Madlib's YNQ projects (Monk Hughes, Young Jazz Rebels) through the circuitry of John Hassell's 4th world electro-cartography abstractions . A degraded, dubwise touch erodes the stream of cybernetic devotionals to reveal dark tape matter-- errant black holes of rhythm and space dart around the periphery, gone before you hear them. Decomposed luxury grooves for an era of imperfect memory.

[eric-adams]

been plaing Portishead this week a lot, got the 33 1/3 book about Dummy, so ive been playing it over and over while reading it

[mattB]

For me it was Kinoko Hotel, but Ive already
posted enough about them I guess.

[Expiry2011]

Ashley Slater - Private Sunshine
Rediscovered this earlier in the week and I've been playing it over and over again on the way into and back from work
Lovely lovely stuff

[monsieur aperitivo]

This week heavy rotation, 2 actually

The Vernons Girls - Lover Please - because of the wild backing vocals


Then the latest SPOKE RECORDS, this is so good a tune, i need to thanks them for this

[reza]

Never heard of it before , loving that instrumental track halfway through, thanks for posting

[jahshabby]

Today's obsession (well, a growing one over a while now) is the World Unknown label. REALLY want to make one of their parties soon, but fear I might break myself.

Sounds like this and this

There is SOOOO much good new stuff about at the moment that I just can't afford... this sounds really interesting (cheers for posting, this had passed me by), plus there's the Actress LP, The Pye Corner Audio, The Hype Williams LP I missed out on…

I used to work with one of the dudes who set it up - back then he was a fountain of knowledge on Belgian New beat (?) and Italo disco before there were posters everywhere of nights playing the stuff. Nice bloke too. they seem to be going from strength to strength... i did a bunch of posters for their nights, but before it got popular - which i fear speaks volumes about my poster design

Was that Joe or Andy? Haven't met either of them, but I really like the sound of what they're doing...

Joe - haven't seen him in yonkers though. Maybe i'll take the plunge and actually go to one of his nights this year!

If you're headed down this way for one of them, let me know...

Will do, that would be fun.

[double shot]

I've just discovered Jim Boggia's album "Misadventures In Stereo" and I've been playing the bejaysus out of it. I especially liKe "Listening to NRBQ". Some nice powerpop in there.

[ashra]

The rest of the album is a bit too jazz-wazz for me, but the introduction of a drum machine on this one has had me totally hooked all week

[priima]

Klaus Johann Grobe

[alanmck]

jazzballet? is it bollocks. it's percussion and modal jazz and it's fecking splendid.

[jahshabby]

Klaus Johann Grobe

word…
cosign…
I concur

[pitch]

Didn't know this guy existed - old-school boogie, funk and prince-like falsetto - genius

[monsieur aperitivo]

Chassol is the name of the musician, his purpose is quite simple, he calls it harmonizing or ultrascoring. Basically he overdubs his own compositions on edited videos. But it is much more than putting music on moving images. music and image are really merged into the same piece.
the Obama below is just for the example, not his best one but gives a clear snapshot of his work



you now can skip it and jump straight to the ones i'm obsessed with,

two stunning pieces of work, full of weirdness and beauty, totally unexpected
There is no way you can't love it.

The indian way



and another one if you are already charmed

The russian way


You must give it a try and let it grow,

Me ? i'm smashed

[BeatsDeluxe]

"But I didn't want it to be too easy for the listener. I wanted it to hurt a little bit. I wanted it to get into a spot in the head that hasn't been hit."

Fantastic protest sign!!

After a couple of weeks marveling at the Pepe Deluxe, managed to escape into the arms of Ethel Ennis.

Nice place to be...

Did you find her in the "nightclub"?

[Expiry2011]

Did you find her in the "nightclub"?

Or even Who Will Buy

She was opposite a vacant slot that had been occupied by Betty Carter the week before.

Damn - the Chassol Indiankidz thing is fantastic! Thanks monsieur apertivo.
