afro-disco & americana


February 5th, 2009

it’s a musical morning….

do you like disco? i do.
do you like african beats? i do.
would you like them remixed? i did.
if you can find it ( i heard it on kalx), check it out:
Licky - “African Rock”, from the Disco Juice compilation (Counter Point)

and then to completely switch genres and tempos, straight out of Nevada City, check out Alela Diane - “My Brambles” (MP3)

music from the oblivion


November 25th, 2008

sometimes i listen to music at work, sometimes i don’t. depends on the day, who’s in the office, how much the phone rings.

today i’ve been listening, and here are some good and interesting things that have been through my ears today:

the first thing i listened to was starrie’s (aka selekta stjärna) downtempo/electro/techno mix from 10/19/08. it was good music for a cold gray morning.

then i started listening to KALX, which is always quirky-amusing and aurally satisfying.

The Zydepunks: New Orleans’ Favorite Cajun Irish Jewish Punk band - “Song for Mike” off the album Finisterre

they also played Screaming Trees earlier this morning. jay and i were listening to Sweet Oblivion over the weekend, as he is currently uploading our entire CD collection onto the music drive (except Enya didn’t make the cut, apparently), which includes CDs as old as from when we were in high school. i bought that Screaming Trees album in 1992 and i don’t remember the last time i listened to it. i still like grunge; it’s still good.
