Happy Super Bowl Sunday, you super people! I hope your team won, if you're a sports guy who likes a certain sports team. Otherwise, as we say in New York (about the Mets) better luck next year! Speaking of which, pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training soon. I don't have anything else to say really, so I guess I'll stop stalling and get to this week's mix tape. RULES for uninitiated noobs : I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or Zunes or Kingklangs or whatever [...]

Nicci and I went to see the Bruno movie this evening. It was pretty alright. Nothing revelatory. There were a few laugh-out-loud funny scenes, but for the most part it was Borat -like and predictable. It's best parts were a result of pure shock value, but we got that with the first movie too. I'd say it's a good movie to see if you want to drop $15 on a movie ticket and you are in need a good laugh. Nicci's friend is in the film, he plays Bruno's pygmy boyfriend, Diesel. They share a ridiculous sex [...]

The Whitney et Schumacher takeover continues. Enjoy their special brand of electronic ear sing-song and wordsmithery as they help me navigate through the usual musicus eclecticus. Actually its mainly electro crunk with a Syrian or Turkish folk track sprinkled here and there for good measure. Other than that you can expect the usual mish-mash of music you may have never heard before. This weeks show features the likes of JME, Selda Bagcan, Fever Ray, and of course the afore mentioned Whitney et Schumacher. Download it here 1. Rich Boy - [...]

As the influence of psychedelia crept into the music scene it seemed that every two-bit band was mining the east for sounds to make their music seem more exotic. However it was the reverse influence that sometimes seems to have produced the best results; as the western music crept into the east, mixing with local folk traditions to produce some extraordinary results. Erkin Koray - Elektronik Türküler Koray is sometimes referred to as the father of [...]

Bottling Smoke Day 2 was a lesson in unbelievable psychedelic soundscapes, free improvisation and avant-garde composition. My day began at roughly 2pm when I walked over to Echo Curio. I bumped into some people I had met the night before and we headed around back to the merchandise booths that were set up in the rear of the building. I purchased some CDs and CD-rs, then headed inside to catch New Fairfield Parks And Recreation and their melding of folky acoustic guitar with homemade signal processor glitch-work. The Alps (a Jefre Cantu project) did not perform, so the next act [...]
Selda Bagcan est une chanteuse turque. Selda est son premier album. Enregistré en 1975, sorti en 1976 sur le label turque Türküola, il aura patiemment voyagé de bouche en oreille du Bosphore jusqu'à nous avec sa réédition l'année dernière par le label anglais Finders Keepers. Une folkeuse turque ? La pochette de son album la capte dans une posture naïve d'égérie folk, en légère contre-plongée, face micro, la guitare acoustique posée sur une jambe, concernée, prête à en découdre. C'est happé par l'innocence de ce portrait sur (...)
