![[Video] Starving Weirdos: "Periods"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4049147_lg.jpg)
Ensemble Economique es uno de esos proyectos que constantemente esta trabajando en nueva musica y aunque podriamos decir Brian Pyle se mantiene ocupado la mayor parte del tiempo con este proyecto; pues hay ratos en los que decide frenarse un poco para reunirse con su colega Merrick Mckinlay para grabar bajo el pseudonimo de Starving Weirdos. "Land Lines" es el titulo de su mas reciente album de estudio el cual pueden conseguir con total facilidad a traves de Amish Records y como nunca en la vida les habia hablado nada de Ensemble Economique, lo mas probable es [...]

Under his Ensemble Economique guise, Brian Pyle has constantly managed to get us madly excited, as readers of this publication will be aware of. But while the man kept himself busy as of late, steadily unleashing new EE jams and musings , he somehow also found some spare time to record a new full-length with his main project Starving Weirdos , the long-standing avant-psych venture Pyle has been pursuing together with Merrick Mckinlay. The result, named Land Lines , is a truly brilliant effort, consisting of seven tracks [...]

Dear 20jazzfunkgreats uncles, How is everything going your end? I hope that you are in a better mood than when I last saw you, and that you managed to bring back the cat from the Black Place. That will teach you to be more careful when you attempt to rapport with the Ancient Ones. It's now been two months since the course started. Wizard College is not al all like I Imagined, I thought that it was going to be like in the films – you know, wizened [...]

Last year's Holkham Drones long-player released via James Holden's Border Community label established young producer Luke Abbott as musician fond of warm, melodic synthesizer work with tasteful technical sensibilities. His songs and arrangements are beautiful works of intertwining harmonics that are accented with noise-heavy but minimal percussive elements. Following the announcement of the dissolution of Allez-Allez (which is comprised of one half of Walls ), Sam and Steve included a Happy Endings Mix on their website along with the announcement by none other than [...]
Friends, Invalids, Basement-dwelling agoraphobics, lend me your ears! It's time for another Sunday Mix Tape, and have I ever got "the goods" for you. You've probably been asking yourselves why I am not posting daily MP3s anymore, or why the treasures from my collector's slum have been few and far between these past few weeks. The reason is, I've been advised to watch what I post in regards to the music I often share here. Cryptic, yes, but I am not really one to test boundaries. So until further notice there might be less music than many of you click [...]
A slow burning soundtrack of an album, an offspring of the Texas Psych movement.

been a bit of a slooow week musically. not been playing much new apart from this jammy bugger. not really much else has tweaked my cat-killing nipple of curiosity, flicked my searching sac of inquisitiveness. took lots of pictures though.... you moaning fux. anyways. this'll be short and sweet. like strega. or hervé villechaize. or milk and cheese. or minutemen songs. and (un)like boon, watt, hurley they don't so much jam econo (aesthetically speaking anyway) as jam liberallo. sorry... thirty three minutes of drawn out drone shapes and metal scraping seance soundtracks. lots of jazz noir [...]

When I woke up and read this morning that a character on Nicci's favorite TV show had a sex tape leaked, I immediately assumed it was those two dudes who are totally gay for each other. As it turns out, it's one of the ugly chicks in the cast giving an ex-boyfriend a "footjob". Shit, even in real life the cast of Gossip Girl sucks. Oh well. One of these days evidence will arise which will once and for all shut Nicci up whenever I interrupt her TV watching with quips like, "Those dudes are totally gay!". [...]

Net als vorig jaar telt het ZXZW festival in Tilburg (14-21 september) teveel artiesten om op te noemen. Iedereen kan dus zijn eigen programma samenstellen. Zelf ga ik zeker naar het niet te missen Sun Ra Arkestra . Zonder de leider, want Sun Ra is al jaren geleden teruggegaan naar Saturnus. Ik ben ze ooit gezien in De Meervaart waar zij een geweldige show gaven. Na anderhalf uur kondigden zij doodleuk aan: Don't go or you' ll miss the next show. Wat bleek? Na een korte pauze speelden ze een tweede set van nogmaals anderhalf [...]
Abandon Ship celebrates its transition into vinyl with a release of long lost gems from the camp of Starving Weirdoes. No too shabby if I do say so myself. Starving Weirdoes - Absolute Freedom 7" Harkening out of the murky past of Starving Weirdoes, these two tracks bump and scrape and nodules of ephemeral noise from years past. The A-Side whirls the room with clipped ambience scotch taped together [...]
Dear Carl's Jr.: I have only recently started dining at one of your many fast food establishments, so perhaps I do not possess the proper qualifications to raise a complaint with you, but I feel that it is necessary to address some issues I have with this particular member of the CKE Restaurants, Inc. family. Let's begin at the beginning, because I often feel that is the best place to start a story. My good friend and frequent dining partner Ilya saw a commercial for a new item at Carl's Jr. called a "huevos rancheros burrito" [...]

For my final "Friday Top Ten" of the year, I always like to write about the news music that has found its way into my possession over the course of the previous 365 days. In 2005, I think I devoted a paragraph to each of my favorite 25 records. Last year, I wrote three-word reviews for my favorite 50 records. This year, I'm upping the stakes, with one all-encapsulating sentence for the best 100 new records. Strap your safety belts on, because this is going to be a very, very long music-related entry. The Top 100 [...]

Photo credit: Soul Dirty Compared to the previous instalment this list is even darker and slower. Like being absorbed into a black hole causing time to slow down almost infinitely. But still, with the right amount of attention the music truly becomes alive and numerous details will become visible. To add some spark to the playlist I've included Lichens' stunning slow and distorted psychedelic guitar solo. With Margaug and Asheim we end the list with one of my favourite releases from the current year. A remarkable collaboration recorded in the Oslo Cathedral with Nils [...]
