I downloaded three tracks from The American Song-Poem Anthology:

"Jimmy Carter Says Yes"

"I Lost My Girl to An Argentinian Cowboy"

"Blind Man's Penis"

and boy, do they suck.

Aside from a few albums from Mutant Sounds (this one was rather nice), I didn't pick anything up this week. Last week I recieved a gift certificate from work, with which I purchased the following:

Modest Mouse - We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank
The Byrds - Sweetheart of the Rodeo
The Who - A Quick One
Neul Young - Zuma

I get paid this coming week, and my Emusic subscription ticks over again. I have my eye on the Grinderman album, and the new one from Fountains of Wayne. After that, who knows?

I got a lot of old funk stuff from mp3 blogs, and some early country from p2p.

I finally replaced all my Public Image Ltd. vinyl this week: First Issue, Second Edition, and The Flowers Of Romance on CD. (I already had "Compact Disc.") For some reason, I have a terrible urge to sneer.

Ooh, I'd not seen the Mutant Sounds blog! That's pretty good!

I only downloaded two songs this weeks -
Holiday - The Other Ones
Girls with Guns - Tommy Shaw

Both complete cheese.

The first Swell Maps on CD, and Taking Tiger Mtn on CD. Nice to be able to listen to them on my MP3.

This week I made an effort to keep up with MetaFilter Music, and discovered a couple of real gems, particularly "You've Been Awake" from edlundart, "Burn The Bridges to the Shores" from Quartermass, and "Tiny House" from buriednexttoyou.

Bill Withers, William Parker and Clutchy Hopkins. I feel like I'm forgetting something, though. Ooh, yet more Fela.

Rediscovering Tom Waits now that I've ripped all his CD's into iTunes save my wanderin' copy of Bone Machine.

Recently located a V/A comp that included the original version "Money Changes Everything" by The Brains, later covered by Cyndi Lauper.

_{Anyone else scrobblin?}

This month, through LaLa, I picked up Miles Davis--Porgy & Bess, the Creatures--Fury Eyes, Chapterhouse--Bloodmusic, Bis--Music for a Stranger World, Baxter--Baxter, and replaced from Chemical Brothers and Beatles that went missing. Really liking the Baxter.

I'm also overplaying "So Ha" from Stars & Garters by Splashdown, and "Feeling This is Like to Fall Awake" from Wiser by Halou and Voodoo U (warning NSFW album art).

_{yay, thanks! I *knew* there had to be a group but it didn't come up in last.fm's search; stupid last.fm, you go squish now!}

(actually, there's a really good Latin Funk outfit called (no joke) Tortilla Factory that I've discovered recently. worth seeking out.)

posted by jonmc 15 April | 21:28

Brian Eno - "Another Green World" (apparently the album that made Bowie decide he wanted Eno to work on "Low")

The Arcade Fire - "Neon Bible" (which makes me think of the John Kennedy Toole novel)

I've also been trying all week to buy this song, which econous (I think) linked earlier this week. Apparently I have to either install iTunes or move to the UK to get it, which is pissing me off since I'm not about to do either.

Tuesday I got some classical CDs: including a disc of Ravel’s orchestral works, which I got specifically to hear La Valse again, and a very nice trio of string quartets by the Czech composer Johann Wenzel Kalliwoda. And on Friday, The Boredoms’ Super Roots 9 and Humming Moon Drip by OLAibi.
