Normally I reserve these sorts of things for the Out of Ten/Listening/Reading sidebar, but since that hasn't been updated in an age...I'll share some recents:
Anthony Braxton- 2 + 2 Compositions (482 Music)- I can't wait until the Braxton/Wolf Eyes collaboration in studio ensues. Or hopefully someone captured the Victoriaville performances and will release them.
Motown Complete Singles Volume 2 (Motown Select)- Don't have the entire collection just yet (gotta wait for next paycheck), but if the mp3s from iTunes are indicative of anything, this is gonna rock my world, just like Volume 1 did. Also, bring on the Marvin Live at the Copa! Yeah!
Genesis- Duke - The SSCO hates Phil Collins, so I have to keep the Genesis prog rock at the office. But for some reason, every time summer rolls around I have to listen to this record.
Sa Ra- CD_R- oh man. this is the stuff. SOOOOOOO good and spicy.
Reading:
Simon Reynolds- Rip It Up and Start Again: Post Punk 1978-1984
Robert Harbison- Eccentric Spaces
and I'm dying to get my hands on that Paul Morley book. anyone got a copy?
I would also like to wish a woman of virtue and awesome, Ms. Joslyn, a happy birthday.
Thanks to all who came out to watch me play music this weekend.
