Album of the Week #27, new Top-10 [Curiosities #96]

Nov 2, 2010, 10:27am The Gumshoe Grove
Insomnia, you're my only friend! Managed to eek out a new Top-10 list, straight from the office in Jackson's Hole, Wyo., and it's a pretty darn solid one, though I'll admit I was living in the past a little on this one (more specifically 2007). Also, Album of the Week #27: Sylvester Anfang ii - Satanische [...]

The Best Of Sunday Mix Tapes: Volumes 1 Through 50

Oct 13, 2010, 2:03am Swan Fungus
In celebration of the upcoming 200th Sunday Mix Tape, I've decided to spend a few days this week taking a leisurely stroll down memory lane. My memory's lane. I've compiled 199 official Sunday Mix Tapes as well as a few compilations that arrived on a Monday or other random day. It's time to take a look back and examine why this feature has become such a huge success. Since I can't post 200 MP3s this week, I'm going to list what is - in my opinion - the standout track from each installment of the series. About half [...]

The Ten Worst Cover Songs I Have Ever Heard

May 17, 2008, 3:20pm Swan Fungus
The Ten Worst Cover Songs I Have Ever Heard I was actually reading Pitchfork the other day (I know... I know ), and I came across an interesting news item about Weezer. First, apparently they're trying their hand at another self-titled album (although, Led Zeppelin they are not), but they've also just released a "digital single" (God I hate these uber-modern trends), and have added two bonus tracks for their UK release. The tracks? A cover of The Band's "The Weight" and a cover of Talk Talk's "Life Is What You Make Of It". Granted, the Talk Talk tune was from The Colour Of Spring , which I [...]

SUNDAY MIX TAPE - VOLUME 59

Mar 25, 2007, 11:59pm Swan Fungus
Are your brackets busted? This was the first year since I was a wee little one that I neglected to fill out an NCAA tournament bracket in advance. March Madness is only marginally interesting when there are no dramatic storylines or Cinderella teams. Two one-seeds and two two-seeds in the Final Four is about as captivating as the Patriots making the Super Bowl. With all this (one paragraph of) sports talk, I've probably lost my entire Sunday evening audience of sexually ambiguous, mildly anorexic, ironic-shirt-wearing, antisocial music snobs. RULES for uninitiated noobs : With [...]

Notable mentions of 2006 #2

Dec 29, 2006, 12:18pm undomondo
Part 2 of the series. A Taste Of Ra - A Taste Of Ra [ tinymixtapes ] Bizarre little album on Häpna But I agree with the Tinymixtapes review, it's got so few memorable moments, dunno why. Asobi Seksu - Citrus [ pitchfork ] Methinks it's one of the best indie albums this year. . Avishai Cohen - Continuo [ past review ] Such a beautiful one, this closer track [...]

Andrea Belfi & Häpna

Nov 9, 2006, 5:58pm undomondo
Andrea Belfi & Häpna We've had our share in accessible music for the last few weeks, so now it's back to experimental stuff. One CD that got my attention was 27 year old Italian artist Andrea Belfi 's " Between Neck and Stomach ". He's been playing drums since he was 14, that gives you enough time to get bored of playing it the conventional way for sure!. "Between Neck & Stomach is grounded on two core elements: the first is the material collected during the unique experiment of turning a house into "a living creature with its own voice" (just [...]

Taste Of Ra

Oct 13, 2006, 8:30am SwedesPlease
Taste Of Ra It's been over a year since Hapna released Taste Of Ra 's debut disc. Now tht the sophomore disc is out I'm truly confounded and nothing I said about their debut is still true. The band that I descrived as experimental folk has gone more in the direction of orchestral pop a la the Elephant 6 collective. This is the second disc in a planned trilogy so perhaps the band is exploring different themes and sounds with each release. Here's the wordless (but definitely not [...]
