rad little old west mythology number from chicago's finest (only?) late 60s country-rock hammer-jammers. two hangmen.

"all" by various from art of field recording vol. 1
my bro kicked this down to me at the annual santanic solstice celebration and it's been ruling me ever since. what's so rad about this dude as compared to your moe asch and your harry smith (no disrespect to those american heroes) is that a) the dude is still doing his thing (proving that such beauty is not relegated to the history books but is happening NOW) and b) there's not as much of a stuffy, academic vibe to the proceedings (you get the idea that he would just as quickly share a jug with the artist as expound on the inherent biases of the listener, the recording process, blah, blah, blah). plus his paintings are dope. do, lord, remember me.

"all" by tom petty and the heartbreakers from live at winterland 1978
the final year of winterland kinda destroyed. the boss, rockpile opening for costello and the attractions (first ever us tour?), the dead closing night, the last ever sex pistols show (whatever but it's historical) and a whole boatload of 'em are available at wolfgang's vault. i love me some dave edmunds and he shreds on that rockpile set but this floridian cat just does not quit and he's ruling my world right now. he even does an eight minute knockoff of clarence carter's "making love (at the dark end of the street)," "even giraffes like to make love." i gotta see that 4 hour doc.such the tightest band.

"almost all" by various from www.likembe.net/Sounds/
holy mother i hit the jackpot. randomly looking for chief stephen osita osadebe on the web today and landed here. what a nuts collection of african jams. some wack but most are off the hinges. digging most of all the kabaka international guitar band, at least for now. also dig this dude's outrageous collection of images. where does one find the time to rule this much?

"san salvador" by the royal rasses from humanity
just started getting into prince lincoln and his crew of royal rasses. this one's from '79 i think. really wish i could find the disco mix online but the single is still a bust.

"maybe she" by arthur russell from love is overtaking me
man. this new arthur russell collection has been destroying me. is there a genre this cat couldn't handle? we already heard the disco and the tripped out instrumentals, the reverbed out cello and vox jams, and for this collection (ranging from the mid 70s on until his death) we get straight pop/folk goodness. dylan, richman, reed, etc. are all touchstones and it kinda ends up sounding like the dopest smog record. this little puppy is straight country/folk beauty. maybe she.

"wild mountain nation" by blitzen trapper from wild mountain nation
i know i already upped this dudes here but their show last night at the independent was stoney shredder central and i need to give them further love. it was such a classic juxtaposition as their tourmates were some total l.a. retros, perfectly white jeans (what do you bring bleach on the road with you?), hippyster garb, and meticulously groomed beards - and they sounded just like they looked. not bad, just no punch and totally by the numbers retro jangle-psych. then these 6 portlanders come out looking like they've been on the road far too long, raggedy and rough and loose as a goose, and proceed to just fucking kill. wild mountain nation.

"?" by u. srinivas from ?
can't say i know anything about this dude other than he's from south india, was a child prodigy and just destroys on the electric mandolin. props to michael at other music for pointing me in this fella's direction. not even sure the vintage on this one, maybe late 70s?

"astral taxi" by tin tin from astral taxi
found this the other day at san rafael's snottiest (and only) record store. i saw the cover and was like, wtf is this some early bee gees side project or some shit (being on atco and looking wimpy as all get out on the cover)? and sure enough brother maury handles production. their first record has the hit, which is pretty stellar, (check their myspace here to hear it), but this one is pretty sweet too. total early bee gees soft rock vibes that lets loose on occasion. rad. oh, and one dude went on to fortune writing shit like "physical," "genie in a bottle," and 98 degrees jams.
