Its deadly). -Tonights Fight Like Apes gig and tomorrow's New Pornographers gig. [...]

The legendary Silver Apples are playing at The Magic Stick in Detroit on Sunday. I am fucking there. Like most people, I would imagine, I am only familiar with the bands first two releases, Silver Apples and Contact . However, they have 4 other releases that I was aware of, but had not heard. So I listened to them. There are 3 from 1998. Beacon , which was recorded in '98 and was all new material, but included rerecordings of a few old songs. Decatur , which is one [...]
I've been listening to the Prinzhorn Dance School a lot recently and still don't know whether I like them... but, yeah, I do but I don't know why. This track is definitely crying out for a remix though - there must be some about given they are on DFA. I'll try and dig them out. I know we've posted Madlib a number of times before but this track is incredible. Not many producers in Hip Hop would run with a bass line like that, break it down into a mad middle eight and then end on 19 seconds [...]
Audiversity's weekly column on random music in a predetermined number of words between 1 & 150. This week's randomly generated number: 48. MA: Produced by Lee "Scratch" Perry , "Ashes and Dust" is an eerie remix of Augustus Pablo 's seminal "Vibrate On" from 1977. Perry sounds lost among Pablo's sensuous melodica and the phase-shifting proto-disco riddim. Is he praising Jah or asking for guidance out of his unstable mental state? Simply haunting. [...]
Two albums from bands whose influence reached into the nineties and spurred a new generation to reexamine the possibilities of psychedelic music. Helping to lay some of the groundwork for spacerock, electronic improvisation and a new wave of psychedelic provocateurs. Amon Düül II- Yeti As most of the original members of Amon Düül decided to stick with the commune life style, those interested in pursuing the musical career tacked on the II and created a more focused and sinister breed of spacy psychedelia. Their [...]
Silver Apples "Walkin'" - I feel silly to say this, but I didn't realize until recently that the Silver Apples even had a third, unfinished album. For whatever reason, I just assumed that the cd with the first two albums that I bought back in the late 90s was the sum total of their discography, but I'm quite glad to have been wrong about this. Whereas the mood of the first two Silver Apples albums was mostly quite heavy and bleak, there is a lightness of spirit in [...]
