Been jamming Girl Talk’s newest, All Day, for a week or two now. Different from his last two albums in the subtlest – & most important – ways.

May need some dancing shoes. Or glow sticks.
Unrest “I do believe you are blushing”
I can’t get this song off a perpetual loop right now, and I have to say their 1992 Imperial f.f.r.r. album is monumental.
Cannot shake this one at all…
“Much Too Long” by The Sounds.
Sometimes I wake up with this song in my head. It’s got a catchy hook, but that’s about all I have to say about it:

Fugazi, Blueprint
“I’m not playing with you, I’m not playing with you, I’m not playing with you, yeah you!”
What more could you want from lyrics?
Sonic Youth, Dirty Boots
Maybe one of my favorite opening riffs of any song
Sonic Youth, Teen Age Riot
Everybody’s talking ’bout the stormy weather
And what’s a man do to but work out whether it’s true?
Looking for a man with a focus and a temper
Who can open up a map and see between one and two
It seems this blog hasn’t been updated lately. I still think it’s a great idea, though, so I’m pleased to share the following:

It’s a creepy, ambient vibe with an amazing bass line that manages to suck me in and keep me guessing at the same time as it juxtaposes solid riffing with asymmetrical time signatures. I don’t know much about the Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble, but I dig their stuff. I suppose “darkjazz” is a good enough genre label, though “ambient” might work. At their best they sound like something between Aphex Twin and Medeski, Martin and Wood.
The Cars “Candy-O”
I haven’t been able to get the entire album of “Candy-O” out of my head, but in particular these songs:

Pavement “Summer Babe (Winter Version)”
While they suck live, they certainly hit the ball out of the park with “Slanted and Enchanted”
