okay, a lot of new Buck 65.

Buck 65 - Dirtbike
This is like a three-disc elaboration on the Strong Arm mixtape he made a few years back. Less folk-influenced than Talkin' Honky Blues or Secret Houses Against the World, but far less polished than Situation. The hip-hop aesthetic is much the same as that album, though. I really like it. Lots of guests, too. Sage Francis, Doseone, I think MF Doom might have made an appearance, I don't know. The tracks have no names.

So I went to go see Bassnectar on Thursday, and while I did NOT get to shake his hand, I was a good six inches taller than everyone who rushed the stage after the show, so I did get the first free cd.
Heads Up! EP Songs from the upcoming release The Other Side

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediafire.com/?izwnzzla2oi
Now, I loved the concert so much that I went ahead and actually PAID $$$$ for one of his older CD's, but whenever I try and mediafire it, it gets to 99% and goes "User not MediaPro" can anyone help me with that so I can give everyone the other Bassnectar CDs I have (Because they are fuggin' Awesome).

For those of you unawares, Bassnectar is the DJ Lorin Ashton from Cali who just takes the krunkiest, farting, demonic buzzes and beats and throws them together with a mix of Hip/Trip-hop and some old school candy-pop thrown in for flavor. The result is an extremely vivid and organic sound-storm that absolutely never fails to get me groovin', and his live show was off the motha-fuggin' chain, Openers were Beats Antique and Mike Relm, both of whose Myspace I am now addicted too for the free mix sets they offer.

*Funny Aside* As soon as the first song started, I realized that I had actually seen Bassnectar live at Burning Man this year at like 5:30 in the morning on Tuesday. I recognized the song that was starting and as soon as he stepped into the light and let his hair down, I was like "OH MY GAWD!". I've seriously spent the last three months thinking about that mystery morning DJ, and now I know that I already loved him anyway.

Here's my favorite band as of late, Hadouken!

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediaf!re.com/?1fo5zny1tgi

Hadouken! are a grindie/dance punk band based in Leeds, West Yorkshire. The band formed after James Smith and Daniel "Pilau" Rice met at Leeds University. It was here they began their own record label, Surface Noise Records.[2] After forming the label, Smith began writing and demoing the first Hadouken! tracks. In February 2007, Hadouken! self-released a two song limited edition vinyl, a double-a side of "That Boy That Girl" and "Tuning In." The former gained popularity after the video made it to number one in MTV Two's NME Chart.[3]

After releasing their 12-track EP mixtape, Not Here to Please You on November 12, 2007, the band returned to the studio to complete their debut album, Music for an Accelerated Culture. The album featured nine new songs as well as previous singles "Liquid Lives" and "That Boy That Girl." The band are currently on tour in the UK.

Either way, its just been playing a lot recently in my itunes library.

[Clintaga]

This is the first CD I bought in the last three years (Except for the Black Parade, gotta support my boys), and it's worth every penny. FYI, Amazon.com is leaps and bounds ahead of iTunes in regards to pricing and library, check em out. I broke it up into two albums, I hope you guys like it as much as I do. While not your typical dance mix, it's definitely a party CD. My favorite track is "Bursting".

The Esther Caulfield Orchestra - Good Morning, Whiskey Breakfast

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediafire.com/?mzktzzqhjeo

The Esther Caulfield Orchestra of Dayton, Ohio is the alias of Ohio singer/songwriter Michael Perkins. After releasing a folk concept album under another name in 2005, Perkins made a drastic change in musical direction and adopted a new moniker in order to better suit the broad range of influences and trans-genre exploration reflected in his music. The Orchestra can be expected to produce wordy, and often lengthy, melodic compositions centered around a highly descriptive and pedantic lyrical style. The Orchestra’s first album, “Good Morning, Whiskey Breakfast”, is a leap in the direction of what can be described as “Post-Country”. It utilizes the traditional instrumentation of Country & Western music while managing to consistently maintain a steady Psychedelic texture, invoking the ghosts of Gram Parsons and Syd Barrett.

Here is some Lee Hazlewood! He is pretty famous for writing songs for Nancy Sinatra, but aside from that I think his music is sadly overlooked. I guess I would kind of describe him as a cowboy Leonard Cohen. He sings in the same kind of deadpan baritone and, perhaps while not quite as poetically, sings about a lot of the same things, but his music often sounds like the soundtrack to a badass western movie.


I compressed Requiem For an Almost Lady and The Very Special World of Lee Hazlewood together because I think they sum him up pretty well. Requiem is a wry and bitter break-up album and Special World includes some of his more famous songs, including the original "These Boots Were Made for Walkin'".

Here is the first album he did with Nancy Sinatra. It is generally a pretty light-hearted affair, with upbeat songs like the satirical "Greenwich Village Folk Song Salesman". It also has one of my favourite songs of all time, "Some Velvet Morning". This song has been covered like over a thousand times since it came out, and for good reason!

Os Mutantes rock.

Here's a compilation CD with a ton of great Tropicalismo jams on it.

Soul Jazz Records Presents Tropicália: A Brazilian Revolution in Sound

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediaf!re.com/?h5fzygyhmoz

Amazon.com
This dizzyingly diverse melting pot of sounds is a perfect primer on tropicalia--and then some. Tropicalia arose in the late 1960s as a genre informed by rock, bossa nova, soul, and underground rhythms, all mashed together to create an electrifying new movement in Brazilian music. The artists assembled here--Os Mutantes, Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Tom Ze, Gal Costa—-are all an integral part of the tropicalia scene. Each, however, makes their own potent artistic statement. Enthusiastic vocals, inspired chants, inventive loops, and hushed arrangements collide throughout this expanse collection. You're never quite sure what you'll hear from track to track. Gal Costa's "Vou Recomecar" is a delight, playing like a foreign counterpart to Dusty Springfield's blue-eyed soul sparkle. The genius, however, is that every moment on Tropicalia sounds both classic and modern at the same time. Most everything here is as urgent and electric as anything you'll hear on contemporary radio. --Joey Guerra

Tropicalia in the late 1960s revolutionized Brazilian music mixing Psychedelic Rock, avant-garde musique concrete (tape loops, sound experiments), Samba, Funk and Soul into a truly unique combination.This is the first album to bring together all the artists involved in Tropicalia, Os Mutantes, Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Tom Ze, Gal Costa and more. Os Mutantes, the sophisticated musical anarchists from Sao Paulo not only became the musical template for Beck, they were also discovered by Kurt Cobain on tour in Brazil who tried (and failed) to get them to support Nirvana. CD comes complete with the customary extensive 40 page booklet that is full of exclusive photos. Soul Jazz. 2006.

Enjoy!

Here are the albums that I picked up at the Subtle show.

The opener was Zach Hill, an avant-garde / noise drummer. I got the album from the project he did with Nels Cline (of Wilco fame) called Damsel, on the Temporary Residence label, who also distribute Mono, Envy and Eluvium.

Subtle - Was Here

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediafire.com/?gt1oa1a3lt5
And the remix / collaboration album that came out of ExitingARM -

Subtle - Yell & Ice

n 2006 avant hip-hop group Subtle, led by the ever-enigmatic Doseone, issued Wishingbone, a collection of remixes and remakes of song off their 2004 album, A New White. In 2006 Subtle also released the fantastic For Hero: For Fool, an abstract piece that tells the tale of Hour Hero Yes, a kind of middle-class Everyman looking for answers, direction, and perhaps salvation in our very postmodern world. And like A New White, this record was followed up by its own set of revisions, the "limited-edition mini album" Yell & Ice. Not so much remixes as re-imaginings, the nine songs on Yell & Ice play with the same generally esoteric (at least in absolute comprehension) themes found on the full-length, but twist and pull them around, bringing in outside vocalists (Chris Adams of Bracken, Tunde Adebimpe of TV on the Radio, Markus Acher from the Notwist, Yoni Wolf of Why?, and Dan Boeckner of Wolf Parade) to add, amend, and contribute their own views as Doseone harmonizes whiningly in the background. "I have found the bloody key that lets the loud out," Acher repeats on "The Pit Within Pits," while Adebimpe repeats the question "Did you dig through instead unflinching?" as the dark, empty percussion of "Deathful" draws out to a unnerving close. It's beat-heavy, mechanized, industrial-inspired stuff, full of coughing synths and stuttering programming -- so much so that even the beatboxing of "Sinking Pinks" sounds inhuman. Yell & Ice is otherworldly, a catholic yet cryptic, intelligent, and enlightening album demanding that the listener not only pay attention, but dance, too.

Gotye- Like Drawing Blood

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediafire.com/?yztyniwzdzz

An early contender (along with Augie March) for this year’s J Award, Gotye’ll probably be passed over the same way In Case We Die was last year, since we’ve learned so far that populism beats objective quality. Nevertheless, Like Drawing Blood is an important album, not only for its music (which grooves and croons its way into your heart) but for the encouraging fact that it’s at least a contender, and that this fiercely singular Australian musician could really get somewhere based upon the strength of his music.

Gotye (they’re pronouncing it like “Gautier” on the radio) is Wally De Backer, a musician from Melbourne making some of the most joyfully expansive electronic pop tunes around. He’s got some small measure of attention from the blogs recently, possibly because Australia’s doyen of indie music radio, Triple J, has posted free MP3s of his tracks numerous times. You can still download three of his songs from Gotye’s website, and you should definitely check these out. For a solitary, independent artist—De Backer has no manager; up until recently he distributed his CDs personally, and Like Drawing Blood‘s insert tells us, the album was recorded in “bedrooms around Melbourne”—his sound is remarkably smooth. To give a general idea, think countless samples (from old soul recordings to a bizarre but likeable lecture from a composer about his compositional process) as well as live instruments incorporated into a, well yes, distinctive sound. It’s really a summer sound, sunny and funky, a perfect accompaniment for walking down to the beach, feeling the sand between your toes and the sun in your hair.

In reality, what listening to Gotye’s music really makes you realize is just how much technology has raised the bar. Now, even one person with a hard drive can make electronic pop music that sounds as smooth and well-engineered as a seasoned producer’s. Like Drawing Blood plays as a remarkably consistent, high quality electronic mix album, with thoughtful song/song transitions and a sustained, easily established mood. That’s not bad for a sophomore effort. Gotye’s first, Boardface, made much less of an impact, though we heard “Out Here in the Cold” on Australian radio a few times when it was released in 2004. On the new album, Gotye mixes a heady dose of Avalanches-style happy electronica with the soul influences of Hot Chip, and the smooth vocals of Postal Service.

“A Distinctive Sound” is the most Avalanches of the Avalanches-sounding moments, especially given the group’s recent work with that Wolfmother song, given “Distinctive Sound“‘s little diatribe on metal. Though you suspect Avalanches would have done more than establish the groove and play the sample, Gotye’s track ups the sample ante at the end; and just hearing that guy rip out “yeah… A minor to F, just like the heavy metal guys use” is a perfect moment. “Learnalilgivinanlovin” is worth mentioning for the title alone, but it’s an album highlight—all soul with no pretension, all positivity. And even recognizing “it’s been done before / C’mon do it again” doesn’t diminish the fun, celebrates influences instead. Isn’t that the way it should be? Elsewhere, as on the excellent “Heart’s a Mess”, the sound of the groove alone predominates: all you have to do is listen to the opening bendy-bass line, give yourself over to the smooth groove and you won’t care that it’s two minutes too long, you’ll just revel in the ache and cool step at the breaking point, as De Backer wails the words of the title in a voice that defines anguish.

“Heart’s a Mess” brings up the only serious criticism the album bears—that despite the high quality production, all Gotye really needs is an editor. A number of the songs here are a few minutes too long, just repeating the main theme over once or twice too often. Don’t get me wrong, the walking bassline on “Thanks for Your Time” is great, but we could have done without the minute-long interlude illustrating the song’s point (frustration at being put on hold in a customer service telephone call). At least it’s something we can all relate to. There’s another redeeming feature—that Gotye has a trick of withholding the refrain, or at least the phrase that gives a song its title, until near the end of a song, conferring on each song the welcome release of a new idea.

Despite this (only occasional) flaw, there are a bunch of great songs on Like Drawing Blood that, each time you hear them, bring a smile to your face. With only a little editing, Gotye has the potential to be a Hot Chip, one of those electronic-pop maestros making soul and electronica entirely his own. Even as is, even with its rickety edges and once-too-often repeats, I’ll take his moody, evocative pop tunes any day. Even if it’s not the Australian album of the year, Like Drawing Blood hums with life, and is a welcome addition to the summer rotation. I have a feeling it may just prove to be great all year round, too.
