* The Ramones : Blitzkreig Bop (4.5 mb) Ramones_MP3 (136.5 mb) | Ramones_Flac (466.5 mb) From Rock and Roll College : Northwestern College : Evanston, IL Well, it's been way too long since I've posted and for that, I definitely apologize. It's been a topsy turvy month/month and a half and my regular postings have fallen by the wayside. But to make up for that we've got a barn burner of a concert by The Ramones . [...]
* Weasel Walter Quintet : weasel_walter-01-I-(excerpt) (3.5 mb) | Weasel_Walter_MP3 (47.0 mb) | Weasel_Walter_Flac (162.5 mb) From Live At 21 Grand : July 31st, 2008 : Oakland, CA Every time I listen to Weasel Walter, I marvel at how he consistently puts out some of the highest intensity, least compromising musics out there. Starting out in the amazing free jazz/metal group The Flying Luttenbachers , he's since brought his considerable drumming talents to tons of other groups, ensembles and [...]
* Parliament Funkadelic : One Nation Under A Groove (7.5 mb) | PFunk_MP3 (94.0 mb) | PFunk_Flac (398.0 mb) From Afrolicious & The Electric Pussy : Big 'Fro Discs : BF-006 Well, I was feeling kinda funky today, so what better band to post than the kings of the funky stuff, Parliament Funkadelic ! George Clinton, leader of these groove masters has been directing the band for over 40 years now. Melding psychedelic, rock, soul, doo-wop, space and [...]
* Sanhedolin : 01-I-I-(excerpt) (4.5 mb) | Sanhedolin_MP3_Part2 (83.5 mb) | Sanhedolin_Flac_Part2 (293.0 mb) From Live At SuperDeluxe : Feb 26th, 2008 : Tokyo, Japan As promised, here's the second part to this wild ride. On a super disappointed note, I went to go see Keiji Haino the other day as part of The Wire festival in the Windy City, only to find out that he had canceled due to botched travel plans. Super big bummer, especially since it's been probably 10 years since he's [...]
* Sanhedolin : 01-I-I-(excerpt) (4.5 mb) | Sanhedolin_MP3_Part1 (94.5 mb) | Sanhedolin_Flac_Part1 (355.0 mb) From Live At SuperDeluxe : Feb 26th, 2008 : Tokyo, Japan Well, with a line up consisting of Keiji Haino (look here ), the Ruins (look here ) and violinist Yuji Katsui, what else should you expect except for total and complete craziness. And that's exactly what you get. After a somewhat slow start where it seems like the quartet is trying to feel each other out, they [...]
* John Zorn : II (5.0 mb) | John_Zorn_MP3 (109.5 mb) | John_Zorn_Flac (350.5 mb) From Live At The Cooler : Dec 20th, 1997 : New York City, NY I first started getting into John Zorn all the way back in my college days. Starting with the Naked City stuff and moving on to Masada and more, he never ceased to amaze. Not having heard very much in the way of free jazz/improv, I couldn't believe some of the [...]
* The Music Tapes : The Television Tells Us (9.5 mb) | Music_Tapes_MP3 (113.5 mb)| Music_Tapes_Flac (327.0 mb) From Live At Athens Popfest : Aug 16th, 2008 : Athens, GA One of the best shows I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot of them) was this band, The Music Tapes . I first heard about them because of their connection to one of my favorite bands, Neutral Milk Hotel. Lead guy Julian Koster had a completely idiosyncratic [...]
* Sunburned Hand Of The Man : 01-twelve-(excerpt) (4.0 mb) | Sunburned_MP3 (76.5 mb) | Sunburned_Flac (265.0 mb) From Live At The ICA : June 20th, 2008 : London, UK With the goal of a collective mind toward music making, the Sunburned Hand Of The Man always manage to make a glorious, glorious racket. Although they're usually lumped along with other collectives like the No-Neck Blues Band and Jackie-O Motherfucker, Sunburned Hand Of The Man usually take a [...]
* Pikachu & Makoto : 01-I (excerpt) (3.0 mb) | Pikachu+Makoto_MP3 (49.5 mb) | Pikachu+Makoto_Flac (174.0 mb) From Live In Japan : Dec 11th, 2007 : Osaka, Japan What we've got here is an incredible set of crazy psychedelic music courtesy of Pikachu from Afrirampo and Makoto Kawabata from the Acid Mothers Temple & the Melting Paraiso UFO . If you've spent any time here at this blog, than my love for all things Japanese, noisy, psychedelic and out there, should be no [...]
* Anthony Braxton & Evan Parker : IV (6.5 mb) | Braxton_+_Parker_MP3 (69.0 mb) | Braxton_+_Parker_Flac (190.0 mb) From Live At Weiler Concert Hall : June 02nd, 1994 : New York City, NY What happens when two masters of the saxophone meet and play music together? Do you even need to ask? A MacArthur "Genius", Anthony Braxton has played, in his extremely idiosyncratic fashion, through over 100 albums. Currently a professor at Wesleyan University, Anthony Braxton is an exception to that old [...]
--+-- I apologize for the long time in between posts. Just wanted to assure everyone that I'm still around and that I haven't disappeared. It's just been super busy around these parts. Rest assured, the second part of this show is coming very soon.
* Bill Callahan : Diamond Dancer (6.0 mb) | Callahan_MP3_Part1 (74.5 mb) | Callahan_Flac_Part1 (229.5 mb) From Live In Vienna : May 22nd, 2008 : Vienna, Austria As with many of my currently favorite bands, it took awhile for me to warm up to Bill Callahan (aka Smog). I first heard about this band/fellow because The Flaming Lips covered his song, Chosen One. I thought the song was absolutely amazing and Wayne Coyne had a long intro [...]
* Jonathan Richman : Stop This Car (4.0 mb) | Jonathan_Richman_Oregon_MP3 (79.0 mb) | Jonathan_Richman_Oregon_Flac (285.0 mb) From Sadly Incomplete In Oregon : 1983 : Portland, Oregon As you can tell, Jonathan Richman (look here and here ) has become one of my favorite artists. His "naive-punk-rocker" songs have forever imprinted themselves in my life and it's always a joy to rock out to his music. Another thing that endears me to him is his willingness [...]
* Fred Anderson Trio : II (excerpt) (1.0 mb) | Fred_Anderson_Trio_MP3 (111.5 mb) | Fred_Anderson_Trio_Flac (356.0 mb) From Live In France : Feb 01, 2008 In Continuing on the "masters of Chicago jazz vein", one cannot ignore Mr. Fred Anderson. Long time improvisational saxophone player/bar owner, Fred Anderson has directly nurtured and taught what seems like generations of musicians that have dedicated their time to out there jazz. And as one of the founding members of the [...]
* The Vandermark 5 : IV (11.0 mb) | Vandermark_5_MP3 (82.0 mb) | Vandermark_5_Flac (292.0 mb) From Live At The Beat Kitchen : Dec 29th, 2006 : Chicago, IL One of the problems with living in such a culturally rich city is that you begin taking things for granted. Recently, it's been way too easy to say: "I'll skip this show/art opening/whatever tonight because similar things'll come along again". But luckily I've snapped out of it and been going [...]
* Souled American : IV (5.0 mb) | Souled_American_MP3 (96.0 mb) | Souled_American_Flac (350.5 mb) From Live At The Catalyst : July 20th, 1989 : Santa Cruz, CA For the longest time, Souled American seemed like a myth. I'd heard about this band that played a woozy, boozy, broken hearted, avant-garde style of Americana that was the total antithesis to the Uncle Tupelo styled insurgent country that was gaining popularity at the time. They seemed totally up [...]
* Neutral Milk Hotel : Holland, 1945 (4.5 mb) NMH_CowHaus_MP3 (94.0 mb) | NMH_CowHaus_Flac (414.0 mb) From Live At The Cow Haus : Feb 7th, 1998 : Tallahassee, FL Alright, I know what y'all are going to be saying already: "But CB, you already posted a concert by this band not too long ago (look here ). Why're you posting more?" Well, because in my opinion, you really can't have to much of a great thing. And [...]
* Iron & Wine : Naked As We Came (5.5 mb) | Iron_&_Wine_MP3 (116.5 mb) | Iron_&_Wine_Flac (265.5 mb) From Live At The Meow Meow : Dec 11th, 2004 : Portland, OR What can be said about this fine band, Iron & Wine (aka Sam Beam) that hasn't already been said before. With three critically acclaimed albums, plus numerous EPs and Singles, under his belt, Sam Beam has become known for his lyrical beauty and remarkable song writing. [...]
* Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy : Death In The Sea (5.5 mb) | bpb_MP3_Part2 (87.0 mb) | bpb_Flac_Part2 (257.0 mb) From Live At Alte Feurwache : Aug 15th, 2005 : Mannheim, Germany As promised (look here ), here's the second part of this magnificent Bonnie 'Prince' Billy concert. --+-- Hope everyone had a great memorial day weekend. I definitely did. There's nothing like grilling, drinking beer and enjoying the company of great friends.
* Bonnie 'Prince' Billy : Death In The Sea (5.5 mb) | bpb_MP3_Part1 (86.5 mb) | bpb_Flac_Part1 (260.5 mb) From Live At Alte Feurwache : Aug 15th, 2005 : Mannheim, Germany As demonstrated by the number of posts on my site about this fine fellow, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy (look here , here and here ), it should be fairly obvious that I've got nothing but love for this dude. Call it what you want, [...]
