Celebrating (roughly) four-and-one-half years of Sunday Mix Tapes. I'm back from India. I'm trying to pretend I'm not jet-lagged but after sleeping five hours on the plane I came home from the airport (at 7am) and slept until noon. Then I woke up and ran 20 miles (which sucked!). Then I went out drinking. I [...]
Sir Richard Bishop - A Tribute To Omar Khorshid (by Dorkheimer ) Live @ Kulturrampe Krefeld, Germany 12.02.2009
My interest was piqued by a blog post I saw regarding Hunt Me For Sport, so I checked out the website. Obviously farcical, but it's a style of antics I find humorous. Still, it reminded me of the first Rated-R movie I ever saw, Surviving The Game. No, wait. That's not true at all. My [...]
J'en veux un peu aux gens de Sublime Frequencies d'avoir fait de leur rétrospective consacrée à l'Égyptien Omar Khorshid une rareté disponible uniquement en vinyle et désormais sold out . Cette édition sortie en 2010 est une petite merveille, comme souvent dès qu'un disque porte le logo de la maison dirigée par Alan Bishop, et les heureux qui ont sauté dessus, parce qu'ils connaissaient le guitariste ou simplement en faisant confiance au label, n'ont aucune raison de le regretter. Mais il y a un contresens à transformer en collector pour érudits la musique d'un homme qui fut [...]
What's here isn't so much a mix as one of the piles of files about which I've meant to talk but apparently will not. Too much to say or too little, no saying now. Quick introductory notes, below, but words, who cares 'em? The playlist form I pounded everything into doesn't say much either, but at least you can jump around a lot to it. You were going to create your own goddamn context anyway. Good for you. You do that great holiday weekend thing. Most of it's from this [...]
Well, I was going to see Vetiver at Spaceland until I realized that my last paycheck was hampered by my having taken days off, and I have no money until an advertising check arrives sometime this coming week. What will I do until then? Well, not much. Today I went to work and had enough money to eat one yogurt and one bagel. Dinner was a box of Crispix I've kept around the house for emergency hunger situations for about the past year. Those year-old Crispix sure don't taste very good anymore. So, what are my [...]
You guys remember that if you follow one of those links to Amazon.com and purchase something, I earn a commission, right? Because I don't just post those links to prove I know how HTML code works. I mean, that's part of the reason, but it's not the whole reason. Oh, and if you're reading this, I wasn't found dead of autoerotic asphyxia this morning. Good job, me! And also, better luck next time! RULES for uninitiated noobs : With roughly 100MB of web space, I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be [...]
The cheerfully sloppy Los Angeles quartet Wounded Lion kick up a shambling mix of Modern Lovers screech-pop on their forthcoming self-titled LP while furnishing the listener with a heaping plate of oddball topics on tracks such as Crünchy Stars and Hungry? When they express their obsessive torment concerning someone named Omar and his style of walking , I ask myself, "Could they be speaking about Egyptian film and [...]

aaah, a slightly more sedate post today. i'll tone down the bombast and my (apparently) irritating verbosity in favour of a more compact, relaxed experience. the bishop's back, electric guitar plugged in, and all is good with the world. indulging his lebanese roots, mixing the middle eastern with the american primitive with the gypsy flamenco with the [...]
