Tunes since the Summer
Too late for Xmas presents, so go out and treat yourself!
In no particular order, here’s what’s been gracing the turntable in the last few months.
- Calexico – carried to dust
- Johnny Otis – the johnny otis show vol.1
- Jazz at the Philarmonic – (nk cole on piano, les paul, lee young – lester’s bro’ on drums, outrageous!)
- Victrola Favorites – Artifacts from Bygone Days
- Art of Field Recording Vol. 1
- Fleet Foxes – Fleet Foxes (CSNY revisited?)
- David Byrne & Eno – Everything That Happens Will Happen Today (sophisticated pop music)
- The Clash – give em’ enough rope (their underestimated masterpiece)
- Champion Jack Dupree – Blues from the gutter (now this guy had a HARD life)
- Butter 08 – butter (sometime jon spencer blues explosion, could’ve been the white stripes)
- Lou Reed – rock n’roll animal (brought dog collars IN)
- Bill Laswell – dub chamber 3 (NY’s bass/producer extraordinaire delivers)
- Orchestra Baobob – live in dakar (sublime, joyous)
That’s all for now, support your local record stores, here in Austin get to Waterloo
