Micah P. Hinson - All Dressed Up And Smelling Of Strangers

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediaf!re.com/download.php?n3mcnzd3kkg
Micah P. Hinson does a covers album; dark, brooding, suspenseful. From Pedro the Lion, John Denver, to Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, to The Beatles, Frank Sinatra, Roy Orbison....

<EDIT>I don't think this is his greatest work, Opera of Progress holds that spot in my heart, but he puts some interesting spins on some classics.

Newest archival release from the wonderful Tim Buckley, late folk and psych-rock troubadour (and estranged father of the sadly more known Jeff Buckley). From the uninitiated, this works as a great introduction to the man's genius. Just Tim with a guitar and that one-of-a-kind voice, impossible to ignore once it escapes his lips...Buckley's albums aren't background music, especially his live ones. You can't help but pay attention as he twists his four-octave range around beautifully surreal snippets of lyrical images. Anyways I'll quit overselling this, just download and listen.

Silver Starling - Silver Starling (2009)
RIYL: Montreal indie music.

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediafire.com/?bjtjj1nyuwm
Album review from Bolachas:

Silver Starling’s debut album is a tribute to life; bringing its’ listener through the bumps and smooth’s in the indie music scene. Yet another Montreal band on the verge of something big, have concocted a complete indie album that brings forth pieces of shoegazing, indie-folk, straight up rock, and delicate pop colorings that will have you foot-tapping away upon first listening. Every track offers up a different emotional feeling, from reflectiveness to anger. It makes sense once you learn lead man Marcus Paquin wrote this album as a tribute to a longtime friend, who was stricken with pancreatic cancer and passed away in September of 2008. “He’s the glue that holds all of this material together,” says Paquin. “He is one of my oldest friends, and his sickness sparked a lot of emotions in me.” You can get this from tracks like “Ghosts” and “Love and a Broken Heart,” in which Paquin questions our existence and purpose in the human soul; his meditations are right on, and the music that accompanies the words could not live without the experience Paquin went through. Inspired to the max! Silver Starling never wallow in self pity, rather they have transformed the experience into a sleek, lustrous album that ripples the listener through indie pop, done with pure Montreal sensibility.

Similar to many albums from the area, the collaboration continues, with essences of Arcade Fire speckled throughout (Paquin’s wife plays viola with AF’s touring group). They have been compared to The Beatles and Jeff Buckley; thus  clearly having a reputation to uphold and standards to set, which looks good after recently signing with Toronto’s Last Gang Records (New Pornographers, Metric and MSTRKRFT). The album was mixed by Peter Katis (Interpol, The National) and Paquin.
Most of the songs follow a similar sensual structure, starting with subtle instrumentation and vocals, then climax into a full blown surges of melodic sound, as it heads into choral refrain “Oh No! I don’t believe in ghosts.” The vocals are comparable to Win Butler, they can be hush and soothing, to full-on assault, but it all fits so ‘Popping’ nicely. The songs are often a sexual experience, paced and deliberate, ever so slowly building into a climax of ultimate satisfaction, and just when you think your mind might blow again, they bottom out! Ahhh…… Me like! Another good Montreal album that will win over many a fan.

Dead Man's Bones began recording, and quickly decided that the songs needed the special creepiness and longing of massed children s voices to complete the sound L.A.'s Silverlake Conservatory Children's Choir was brought in to the studio, and Dead Man's Bones, the album, was born. Some of their songs reflect the music they listened to a little bit of doo-wop, and artists such as the Shangri-Las, The Shags, Company Flow, Sam Cooke, James Brown, Bobby Vinton, Joy Division, The Andrew Sisters and Daniel Johnston, to name a few. In addition, the artistic aesthetic of old Universal horror films, vaudeville music-hall numbers, and silent-screen melodramas infest the music.

One of the two members is Ryan Gosling, and I was surprised at how effective and spooky his voice is. Check out a video from them here.

The American Analog Set - Hard To Find: Singles and Unreleased 2000 - 2005 [2009]

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediaf!re.com/?hdzgzymmmmd

Is this really a new American Analog Set release? Yes! Sort of.

In 2001 we released a cd compilation of rare, vinyl only, and unreleased material called Through the 90's. Today, the companion release, Hard To Find is available electronically from your favorite mp3 source including iTunes, Amazon, eMusic, Rhapsody and so forth. It is meant to represent the Tigerstyle and Arts + Crafts era material in the same way that Through the 90's represented the Emperor Jones era releases.

Many of our favorite moments were only available on limited-edition vinyl or were given to magazine compilations or were saved for 7-inches that were never released. They're all available here on Hard To Find. The cornerstone of the compilation is a tour-only 4-song 12" that sold out along our last tour in 2005. The EP featured 4 longer and more "classically AmAnSet" versions of Set Free standouts Cool Kids Keep, First Of Four, Green Green Grass and Everything Ends. The singles compilation also features guest artists and long time AmAnSet boosters Matt Pond and Ben Gibbard who lend their lovely voices to Sharp Briar and All I Want For Christmas respectively.

Enjoy!!

Track Listing:
01. Stoney Chariots
02. New Equation
03. Make It Take It
04. Sharp Briar (feat. Matt Pond)
05. Choir Vandals (demo)
06. Cool Kids Keep (12" version)
07. First Of Four (12" version)
08. The Only Living Boy Around (Know By Heart version)
09. Hard To Find (original)
10. Hard To Find (reprise)
11. All I Want For Christmas
12. Green Green Grass (12" version)
13. Everything Ends In Spring (12" version)

This next track is a funked-out breaks remix of classic Indeep hit "Last Night a DJ Saved my Life" It is good enough to excuse being labelled as a "funked-out breaks remix" seriously what was I thinking there, but it's pretty much true, and when that weird white guy who seems to do everything in the band starts rapping, well you'd better hold on to your pants, buddy.

Solo Andata - Fyris Swan (2006)

Hi. Can't say this hasn't been posted already, but in any case, it's such a great album that merits a second posting.

A very welcome contribution to Hefty's catalogue from this Australian duo, Fyris Swan is a distinctly cinematic affair. The pair conjure the most delicate and wistful of acoustic-electronic landscapes. At times there's only the most spartan of sonic elements at work and the whole album seems to be held together by the slightest of gestures and the lightest of touches, but all this understatement makes for an incredibly atmospheric, memorable album. 'Coastal Road Thoughts' is an especially blissful drift through gentle drones, incidental chimes and buried voices, whilst 'A Ballet Of Hands' is reminiscent in feel to the unearthly haze of Arve Henriksen's Chiaroscuro album. Recommended.

Boris - Japanese Heavy Rock Hits, Volume 1: "8"

The first 7", Volume One, "8", features two newly recorded tracks.  On Side A, the title track "8" continues the spacey hard-rock sound established on their classic albums Pink and Smile, building from a mono, lo-fi wall of feedback into a ripping, slab of lush vocals, crunchy guitar and thunderous drums.  Things get switched up on Side B with "ねえエヴリワン/Hey Everyone", a chewy bit of power-pop bubblegum that sees the band mining a much lighter source for their sound.  It's a reminder that the most daring thing this band can do is record something so straight-forward it could easily be misconstrued as "alt-pop". Dont fret it's still got a dark core and is unmistakably Boris!

[wespeakinmidi]

well, i realized that i haven't contributed in a while.. decided i wanted to share some good garage rock for a change as i like to mix things up.  all three of these are worth a listen.

The Electras - The Best Of The Electras

this is just one of my favorite garage bands from the 60s.. solid, raw sounding rock.. heres the stolen bio from somewhere else : From Minnesota, the Electras put out about half a dozen singles from 1965-67 that were admirably ferocious slabs of garage punk, with generous shades of both pop and psychedelia. The group were heavily indebted to the British Invasion sound of the Yardbirds, Zombies, and others, though on several of their tracks they in fact sounded like a slightly rawer version of Paul Revere & the Raiders. That was never more true than on their regional hit "Dirty Old Man," with its menacing unison fuzz guitar and organ lines. A hit in Minneapolis, "Dirty Old Man" was, like most of the Electras' material, written by their producer, Warren Kendrick. The best of their other singles were "You Love," which had something of a garage Zombies feel, and the riff-driven "Soul Searchin'."

For legal reasons, the group changed their name from the Electras to 'Twas Brillig for a few singles in 1966, including one that was licensed to the CBS subsidiary Date (although the A-side, "Dirty Ol' Man," had already come out under the Electras name for Kendrick's label, Scotty). Certainly a better name than 'Twas Brillig could have been chosen; indeed, it's hard to imagine that a worse one could have been chosen. Moreover, the confusion surrounding the name change, which saw "Dirty Ol' Man" reissued under the 'Twas Brillig billing not once but three times, probably hurt the band in the long run.

There has long been some confusion as to whether the Electras were an early version of the Litter, or at least shared some members with the Litter. This probably came about because both groups were produced by Kendrick, and both issued the Litter's most famous song, "Action Woman" (again written by Kendrick), as a single in 1967; also, the Litter did "Soul Searchin'" on their first LP. Furthermore, a Litter compilation on Eva, Rare Tracks, included four tracks by the Electras, with a sleeve note that erroneously claimed that Kendrick "used the Litter musicians to record also some obscure singles under the name of 'Twas Brilling [sic], Electras...Thus 'Dirty Old Man' or 'Soul Searchin'" were played identically by Litter under several names of groups." In fact there was no connection between the Electras and the Litter, other than that they shared the same producer and record label. The damage has already been done, however, and dozens if not hundreds of collectors are probably still under the misguided illusion that the Electras were the same or almost the same as the Litter. Most of the tracks from the Electras' singles, as well as a few unreleased tracks, are on the Arf! Arf! compilation The Scotty Story, which assembles 30 tracks that Warren Kendrick produced for his labels.

The Wipers : Is This Real

The Wipers were a punk rock group formed in Portland, Oregon in 1977 by guitarist Greg Sage, drummer Sam Henry and bassist Dave Koupal. Wipers were one of the earliest American purveyors of the genre, and the group's tight song structure and use of heavy distortion has been hailed as extremely influential by numerous critics and musicians, including Nirvana, who covered several of their songs.  The idea behind the Wipers started off as only a recording project. The plan was to record 15 LPs in 10 years without touring or promotion of any type. Sage's thoughts were that the mystique built from the lack of playing the traditional rock & roll promotion game would make people listen to their recordings much deeper with only their imagination to go by. He thought it would be easy to avoid press, shows, pictures, interviews. He looked at music as art rather than entertainment; with that concept in mind he thought music was personal to the listener rather than a commodity.

and lastly, since i'm talking about bands that influenced nirvana..

Nirvana : In Utero : Steve Albini Mixes


This is not the version most of you are used to listening to.  these are the steve albini mixes of the album, pre scott litt/geffen, which leaked out i believe in 2003 when the album went to be repressed on vinyl in the UK?, and the pressed the wrong masters, theres significant differences in heart shaped box, especially after the guitar solo, where there is some very dirty sounding vibrato, and also the cello on all apologies is more prominent.  the rest of the album is mixed much different in general, Kris and Dave's parts are mixed on different levels, it's just cool to hear how it originally sounded..  anyway.. read the article from the 1993 rolling stone below..

Oh, to labor in obscurity! Two years after Nevermind transformed them into the gods of grunge, the members of Nirvana find themselves fighting for their status as an alternative band and denying allegations that they knuckled under to pressure from their label and managers to put a commercial finish on their follow-up album.
The storm over the as-yet-untitled album began in April when alternative-hardcore producer Steve Albini -- who has worked with the Pixies, Helmet, Superchunk and PJ Harvey -- told the Chicago Tribune he doubted Nirvana's label, the Geffen-owned DGC, would release an album he had cut with the band the previous month. "Geffen and the band's management hate the record," Albini said, adding that he had "no faith this record will be released."

Although Albini's remarks drew no immediate response from the group or its label, a subsequent and similar story in Newsweek did. "There has been no pressure from our record label to change the tracks we did with Albini," Nirvana's Kurt Cobain said in a prepared statement. "We have 100-percent control of our music."

Producers Scott Litt, best known for his work with R.E.M., and Andy Wallace, who remixed Nevermind, have been called in to work on the tapes. But the band, its label and its management say no attempt has been made to quash the recordings. "It's a bunch of horseshit," says Geffen A&R executive Gary Gersh, who signed the band to DGC. "The band felt they should be doing some more work, and I agreed with them. I did think that the sound of the record needed some work. We asked Steve to do the work; he refused. The picture Steve paints -- that some big corporate conglomerate has glopped onto Nirvana's legs -- is just not true. Kurt Cobain is like my son."

Albini now sounds conciliatory. "I enjoyed working on the record and admire the band," he says. "I've thought from the beginning that the band should just make their feelings known, and I'm glad that they have."

Although the members of Nirvana wouldn't speak directly with the press -- an employee of their management company, Gold Mountain Entertainment, said the band wanted to concentrate on finishing the album -- they seem to be extraordinarily concerned about the coverage Albini's remarks have generated. A copy of a letter to the editor of Newsweek signed by Cobain and band mates Dave Grohl and Chris Novoselic repudiating the magazine's story was also circulated to the press and, in an unusual move, placed as an advertisement in the music-business trade journal Billboard.

Why all the concern? In portraying the recording he cut with the band as too uncompromising to suit the tastes of Geffen or Gold Mountain, Albini appears to have put Nirvana on the spot. Despite the huge commercial success of Nevermind, which sold more than 4 million copies, the band remains a credible alternative-music act. But Nirvana's next album is sure to be closely scrutinized for any signs of commercial compromise, and Albini's remarks seemed to suggest that any changes the band makes in those recordings will be a result of caving in to commercial pressures from the band's label and management.

Danny Goldberg, the founder of Gold Mountain and now a senior vice-president of Atlantic Records, was blistering in his response to Albini's remarks. "Steve Albini takes the position that anything he thinks is good is good, that he's David Koresh," says Goldberg, who remains a management consultant for Nirvana. "He is God, and he knows what's good. And if the artist doesn't like it, then the artist is somehow selling out because they don't agree with his personal vision."

Goldberg, however, declines to say what he thought of the recordings when he first heard them or what opinions he or anyone else at Gold Mountain may have offered to the band.

"You're asking [me] to go on the record about intimate private conversations," Goldberg says. "I don't convey my conversations with the artists I work with to anybody. But the band can get advice from anyone they want. I've never been involved with an album by any artist where the artist and their friends and the people who work with them did not discuss it openly and play devil's advocate and go back and forth on the pluses and minuses of the album. That is a healthy process. Who Nirvana chooses to talk to is up to them. What kind of conversations they want to have is up to them."

Says Albini: "I'm happy to let the band speak for themselves. What I or Danny Goldberg have to say doesn't matter."
