1. Grosses Symphonieorchster/Hans Swarowsky - 44
2. Animal Collective - 34
3. Goat - 14
3b. Rob Delaney - 14
4. Daniel Barenboim - 13
5. Four Tet - 11
5b. Dirty Projectors - 11
5c. Mark McGuire - 11
6. Grizzly Bear 10
6b. Black Elk - 10
7. American Football - 9
8. Six Organs of Admittance - 8
8b. The Shins - 8
8c. Nils Frahm - 8
8d. Andy Stott - 8

1&4 - I've been listening to Das Rheingold and Die Walkure a lot lately. For some reason I never get round to listening to the other two but fuck is the ring cycle amazing. Anyone know of the best recordings of it? Swarowsky's orchestra is great but the guy that sings Wotan sounds like a giant pussy.
3b - Listened to his special because for some reason I found this really funny - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0hvV_ETDQ0&feature=youtu.be - but it was kind of underwhelming. I really like his voice anyway, sounds like Ron Burgundy.
5 - New album's pretty great. He's just great.
6b & 8c - Black Elk is super nice ambience for studying or w/e; Nils Frahm I don't really get the hype over, he doesn't seem to make anything interesting at all. I dunno maybe I'm missing something.

  • Mostly just listened to Standards by Tortoise and Love King by The-Dream * on my CD player this week

    10 DJ/Rupture
    10 Country Teasers
    10 The Wave Pictures
    10 Joyce Manor - 3
    08 Everything Everything
    08 The Pastels - 4
    07 Kyary Pamyu Pamyu - 5
    04 Vatican Shadow
    04 The Ex - 9
    03 Solange - 12
    02 Ruff Sqwad - 16
    01 Tigercats - 23

    Those DJ/Rupture plays are like 3 hours long I guess 'cos it's the mixes he gave away, Solange EP is just OK apart from the main single, Ruff Sqwad sounds better out loud than from your mp3 player headphones etc etc

    * Unfortunately not with my thinly veiled girlfriend : (

  • not really using last.fm as much but this is what i've been listening to

    Royal Trux - Sweet Sixteen / just got it this week. Ridiculous amount of layers in the recording and very strange production means I haven't made sense of it yet. Songs don't seem that great compared to other albums so far but they might start sounding good with time

    Misfits - Static Age / this might actually be one of my favourite albums. Also listened to Raw Power a bit. They are my two go-to mp3 albums if i'm having a bad day

    Taming Power - 6 pieces & 21 pieces / homespun drone/exxxxperimental music from Norway. The 6 pieces one is particularly ace, parts of it remind me of the absolute best Vodka Soap/Spencer Clark things. Like infinite layers of chimey goodness.

    EVOL - Right Nightmare/Rave Slime 12"s / these just arrived this week and they might be the most annoying records i've ever owned soundwise! They are funny. Just one classic rave synth sound warped/stretched on each side. And some locked grooves at the end which are cool. You can play them a bit like an instrument by manually slowing/speeding up the turntable. ANYWAY they have a great FACT mix which isn't abrasive or nasty like these records. It's just really good fun.
    http://www.factmag.com/2012/05/21/fact-mix-330-evol/

    Loop - Fade Out / Heavy 80s uk drone rock. cheap used lp that sounds ace

    that is all

  • My scrobbling's borked ever since getting a smart phone, but here's what it says

    1. Aphex Twin - 53
    2. Radiohead - 50
    3. Kendrick Lamar - 40
    4. Akira Yamaoka - 34
    5. John Maus - 29
    6. Tame Impala - 24
    7. Flying Lotus - 23
    8. Frank Ocean - 20
    9. Autechre - 18
    10. My Bloody Valentine - 17
    11. Rage Against the Machine - 15
    12. Chris Clark - 13
    13. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross - 12
    14. The Chemical Brothers - 10
    14. Hans Zimmer - 10

    1. I've decided that Fingerbib might be the most beautiful electronic tune ever made.

    6. For some reason only really just got around to listening to 'Feels Like We're Only Going Backwards', been playing Elephant on repeat instead. Best thing to come out of Australia since The Avalanches.

    8. Channel Orange only gets better with age. Great summer chill-out album.

    11. Reliving my 13 year old angst by putting Bulls On Parade on repeat.

    12. A Warp musician who I'd overlooked earlier, starting to really grow on me. Herzog is a great track.

    • On vinyl I've been listening to

      My Bloody Valentine - Things Left Behind. It's a compilation of all their early stuff and it's... um... different. Kevin's voice is very odd, not sure it's something I can really get on board with. But some of the tracks are good as just throwaways. Very un-MBV though, serves me right really.

      UNKLE / DJ Shadow - Be There. 8 track double single, it's brilliant, has the original song plus remixes (one by Noel Gallagher??!!) and some other really good dance tracks that went down really well at my last party. Found it in a bargin bin at the local record store for only $7.

  • I don't think we're thinking of the same Black Elk

    But thanks for reminding me that I own Always A Six Never A Nine

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQnI9KwxI4E

    Last.fm is kinda borked this week for me, think it's the new scrobbler which doesn't talk to iTunes...

    Mostly listening to

    John Coltrane - The Complete Africa/Brass Sessions
    I love anything with two double bassists.

    L.I.E.S presents American Noise Volume One
    I didn't really like this that much but I'm really starting to enjoy it now. Good wholesome techno. What's the Legowelt record like which they put out?

    Pantha du Prince & the Bell Laboratory - Elements of Light
    Sounds great in the snow. Pantha playing with lots of bells. Very minimalisty.

    Four Tet 0181
    Pretty, bridges a gap between his old and new stuff

    Fire! with Oren Ambarchi - In the Mouth - A Hand
    This is really good, if you like nutty free jazz. What's the Fire! Orchestra record like?

    6. Always like to revisit Vampire Weekend and wonder how a band so inoffensive can cause such drama...
    11. "Citgo" is amazing: http://youtu.be/am-np-pNhHo

  • Not much this week.

    1 Everything Everything (90)
    2 M83 (18)
    3 The Advisory Circle (16)
    4 Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs (14)
    5 Cosmo Vitelli (11)
    6 Umberto (10)
    7 Lindstrøm (6)
    8 Siobhan Donaghy (1)
    8 Todd Terje (1)

    1: Arc is cracking. They've traded a little of their bizarreness for some killer tunes and it's a worthwhile tradeoff.

    3: omg him from King of Woolworths. I had no idea. Lovely stuff!

    4: Totally not what I was expecting from a band name like that. Some good stuff but I think there's better to come.
