Arnold Dreyblatt & Megafaun's Appalachian Excitation. It's got four pieces--one dirgey thing, one droney thing, one groove-based thing, and one thing that sounds like country Television--and apart from the hippie dishwater liner notes from the ubiquitous Jim O' Rourke, I'm liking it all. It really seems to be in touch with something, if you know what I mean. Maaaaan.
I also really like the Darkside Psychic record. It's become fashionable to drop late-period Talk Talk as a reference, but a lot of the records tagged thusly--Shearwater, These New Puritans, whoever--mostly miss Talk Talk's commitment to a particularly modern pulse; those groups get caught up in the hush and the space and the stately piano chords, and end up spending long stretches rattling dully in their chambered preciousness. I feel like Psychic is a much more successful, compelling, and truer extension of that sound.
Not real-real new, but I like what I've heard from the Eric Copeland record. Sounds kinda like Arca for people who don't go out, which is a pretty good fit for my lifestyle. I haven't heard the whole thing yet, though. I probably oughta do that.
The Special Request full length is very good. So is this
Very nice. I like that 80s saudade. Someone needs to tell the one batmon to check out dude's "Boot Hill." He'll either love it, hate it, or think it's just okay.
I'm pulling for Ducktails' Wish Hotel EP. I don't know what it's like where you are, but it's fall here.
Hidden under leaves
no one will see
so you might as well
stay there
It's easy to lie down
invisible
to the neighbors outside
Watch the lawn get mowed
by the old man
who lives across the street
Kids wearing tie-dye
shirts bicycle
to the school track meet
If you know, you know. For anyone who ever asked her if she couldn't maybe come down a day earlier.
One of my favourite Mos Def beats, I really like this, and he even gets rid of the race politics :wow:
Finally released - some other guys did an inferior version (perhaps they too were frustrated at waiting for Falty DL's to drop) that came out last week and I guess that release may have forced his hand.

What is wrong with man's forearm? Koi tatt or like, some cryptic MJ shit?

The virtual cow has been incredibly successful, and it???s now being used by four of the seven veterinary colleges in the United Kingdom. Baillie was recently named ???Most Innovative Teacher of the Year??? in the U.K. by the 2009 Times Higher Education Awards, and the organization called her project ???possibly the most significant innovation in veterinary education in the past 50 years.???
But Baillie???s not yet content??? in addition to trying to commercialize her cow for use in the United States and Canada, she???s also working on a Haptic Horse and a Haptic Cat.
???It???s particularly good for cats,??? she said, ???as they have a certain limit to their tolerance.???
A few months old now, but I just got it in a small parcel, so it's new to me: The Samps' Macrochips And Microdips.
I was worried this was gonna be more of that post-Dilla, Flying Lotus-type glitched-out shittiness that wants so badly to sound like the future of something, but am pleasantly surprised to find out that this instead sounds like one of those good Saturdays you used to spend record shopping, where your vague sense of where all the music comes from and your vague sense of what you might end up doing with it later kinda braid together to make the present moment nice and crisp. You can't keep it, but man, it's nice to have.
Plenty of slabbed West Coasty fat-fat (big chunks of Slave, those "Bounce, Rock, Skate Roll" hits, et al.), but here and there shot through with melancholy and genuinely affecting melodic throbs that sound like what you think you might feel like when you find out that Christine McVie has died.
It is dead-dog November here in Chicago, and is shaping up to be one of those days where I don't take my shoes off until bedtime. This record is working on that nicely.

Woolford stays killin' it. This is some pure fuckin' evil blaze-up-an-entire-can-of-Elnett-in-the-dance shit.

He takes piano stabs from rave, the drum programming from jungle, and the atmospheric sounds from DnB to make a great sound. I think he could remix Jason Donovan right now and I'd like it.

This one is still my favourite Woolford production:
and the 2 minute drum assault on this album track (2:50 onwards)
Fans of William Tyler and his electric contemporaries should dig this Ep from Phil Cook (Megafaun member and Durham, NC local). It sounds quite nice on vinyl. Favorite track is DL's Holler, but this track is on youtube:

Four Tet hit 100,000 followers on Twitter last night and dropped a load of unreleased shit as a thank you. Some good stuff too - an 8-bit style Gravediggaz remix, a Truimvirat edit, a few long free-form bits, some things that sound like out-takes from Rounds, a couple of UK garridgey sounding bits, etc.
The links should still be active, but they're via Sendspace, so be careful which links you click on. Alternately, wait for someone to zip it all up on a safer host.

was gonna start a new topic on this guy because i think he deserves it. "Never Dreamed" and "Special" were probably two of my most played songs from last year. looking forward to seeing what Andrew Ashong has got for 2014

i really enjoy his stuff but there's still those moments that are literally PLEADING for vocals.
my giardino privato mente would love to hear him team up with ben nichols of lucero

250 Units on hand drawn purple swirl. Pick it up here before it sells out!

Never heard of them til now - liking everything on their SC page. Thank You!
Nice confluence of sounds that I believe would be strut-approved.
