OK, thoughts about music for today:
2 Lone Swordsmen's "Stay Down" is a great album and I'm glad I waited to pick
it up since Matador just reissued it with extra tracks. I'm borrowing a
friend's copy right now, and it's on my list of "soon to be picked up".
2 Pole records playing together at the same time is pretty damn close to
Nirvana (no, not Kurt's band). Especially that track of CD/LP1 that keeps
building and building and building and finally disolves, mixed over "Fahren"
from CD/EP2. "Bass" is now spelled "P O L E".
Mike Grant's new 12" on Moods-n-Grooves just keeps impressing me more & more
as I DJ it. The B2 is the cut on this one. It's just so damn good. Bassy as
hell, which is the way I like it, and nice shuffled percussion, plus flanged
pads that lesser producers would kill for. Buy it!
The last Sound Signature (I think) with "Dance of the Drunken Drums" on one
side has a great feel to it. I love the double-time feel of the percussion on
the one side (which is the track I bought it for) but the analog-sequenced
piano lines on the flip are even nicer. I love records like that, ones you buy
for a certain track but end up liking for a different one. It's like twice the
loving for half the price.
OK, now for the self-promo. At 8:30PM EST, I'll be DJing a set of cool, moody,
interesting records. Check out www.detroitpeoplemover.com for the ShoutCast
broadcast, and later this week I'll try to post at least a playlist (if not an
archive). Selected records include the above mentioned, probably, plus others
in that moody sort of vein.
