Sufjan Stevens, his Illinois album.
10 Sep 2005 — 11:25am
Probably the best album released this year, that Illinoise. You'll notice that Sufjan ranks quite high in the Typophile community radio on Last.fm, which Paul linked above. (I wonder how much influence my own listening trends had on that :) )
Last.fm's radio feature is fantastic – when I listen to my 'neighorhood' station, I feel like I am listening to a collection of my highest rates tunes, in addition to all the albums on my wish list, it is great! Problem is, the player itself very seriously eats up all available memory on my computer. Until they fix that, I won't use it. :(

I've been listening to Tony Bennett's The Art of Romance and my favorite tune is The Best Man. …I was the best man at the end when I was the best man at my best friends wedding day.

Sigur Ros - Takk...
I have been anticipating this album since I first heard they were releasing a new album. I decided to NOT download the leaked version of it, you know, stay pure and wait until it is actually released. I'm thanking myself so much that I did that. I first listened to it 2 days ago on a bus to Ottawa, ON. Definatly shouldn't have done that. This album lifted me up, and made me feel joy beyond the description of words. To me , this album is beauty in its prime. Their best album yet. I have not stopped listening too it, I think I'm on the 20th time, not sure.
Either way, this is definatly an album to check out.
20 Sep 2005 — 7:47am
Back in the saltmine, I've cooked up a shuffle with the Cramps, Gun Club, Go!Team, Gloria Jones and sweet, sweet El Perro Del Mar, fully visible at Last.fm.
But the Radio software fails to unpack every time. Could it be that I'm on OSX.2.8? Any clues? I want Typophile radio!

I've been spinning a lot of Cheick Tidiane Seck (the whole awesome MandinGroove album) and Burhan Öçal & Trakya All Stars these last days. Also Amadou & Mariam quite often -- from their last album, the one produced by Manu Chao.

Sufjan Stevens based on Zara's recommendation. Give it an A+ as well. Arcade fire, the Bravery, Bloc Party, and my old school Depeche Mode collection. Ummm. The Quick Fix Kills too.
30 Sep 2005 — 2:40pm
i wonder how many record sales Mr. Stevens can credit to our dear Zara? (i = +1)

I was glad to hear Soma FM is back online.
As for kids music, my girls (age 5 and 3) can't get
enough of the Toy Dolls (you know, the 80s punk band
that did "Nellie the Eliphant"). Who would've guessed
their goofy lyrics, thick british accents and punk flavor
would be a hit with kids. Or maybe it's just their name.
18 Feb 2003 — 9:25pm
KCRW (http://www.kcrw.com). The world-class "Morning
Becomes Eclectic" show is finally an MP3 stream and no
longer a lame Real Audio broadcast.
(Note: It's a true 'simulcast' so you can see the
programming on the site.)
Enjoy.
20 Feb 2003 — 10:43am
Wow, Michael, that Beck set is great. (And I need to rescind
my RealAudio rant. Their RealAudio archives are much,
much better with the new--still free--RealOne player).
12 Mar 2003 — 10:41am
Stephen is responsible for reintroducing me to Cat Power.
Also, digging Interpol lately. It's like the distilled
essence of alterna-eighties, in a modern package (sans
the Casio keyboard and the hair).
Oh, and Jared introduced me to Add N to (X).
Nice stuff. It's like the Chemical Brothers with a sense of
humor, overlayed with Radiohead-esque textures.

So far theyve been releasing their own vinyl, but theyre supposed to have something produced by ian mckaye soon

12 Sep 2003 — 4:11pm
Jean, Black Market Clash is one of the best albums of all
time. Perfect for driving.
5 Nov 2003 — 1:00am
Yeah Yeah Yeahs! As raw as Beth Orton or maybe Cat Power, but more... unexpected. Check it out.
(No, not Hot Hot Heat -- who's lyrics are as repetetetetive as their name. Anyway, what's with band names nowadays? Soon they're gonna sound like race horses.)
5 Nov 2003 — 8:29am
Excellent suggestion, JFP. I've been using iChatStatus for a
long time and it's an excellent way to catch a bit of what is
going into my buddies' ears all day. I suggest more Typophiles
get on iChat or AIM and install that sucker.
Here is an old list of Typophile AIM names. I've reactivated
the thread. Add yours to it.

> Bowing a guitar like a cello.
Yeah, the end of the guitar was on the floor while he sat in a chair and drew the bow across the middle of the neck. Like a cello. Droning ensues, true to their signature sound. Not sure how Jimmy Page did it. Who's Jimmy Page? (j/k)
5 Nov 2003 — 1:43pm
Allow me to imagine Jimmy Page, err I mean, describe how he held his guitar. Ahem. I mean to say that Jimmy would leave his guitar strapped on, slung low on his hips, and would bow the guitar from that position.
(If only I'd been born 20 years earlier!)

I just found a fabulous bootleg of a Metallica show put on in Vienna this summer, I pretty much keep it on repeat right now. Too bad their studio work isn’t remotely this good.
6 Sep 2007 — 4:39pm
I've got a major playlist... but the last couple of songs were from Paul Brady, Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Christy Moore, Van Morrison and Lou Reed.
6 Sep 2007 — 7:24pm
Apocalyptica.
6 Sep 2007 — 7:37pm
Just ordered the new Alison Krauss CD so I can trip on the zen-like reserved bass playing of Abraham Laborial, as well as listen to an angel sing. Jerry Douglas and the rest are well worth grokking also.

Wow. There’s people that listen to music? Who would have known?
I am more than a little puzzled that music doesn't seem as important as it once did. I don't know of my hearing is dulled, or could it be my imagination. Or is it simply not as important as I thought it was. I just don't know what to think. Shift happens.
6 Sep 2007 — 10:00pm
I think the world would be a pretty awful place if there were no music. Just MHO.
6 Sep 2007 — 10:39pm
The only thing about music that is good is playing it. Of course that is an extremely biased opinion…
I feel the same way about design.

Various Ensemble Organum recordings in rotation. Not only stunning, powerful vocal performances, but the kind of musicological archaeology that makes you question what you think you know about the history of western music.
8 Sep 2007 — 4:10am
The Beatles - Love and Crazy P - A Night on Earth. Strange combination yes but hell, I like it.
8 Sep 2007 — 8:24am
Today I’m hooked on the Dethalbum. I feel very lucky to live in a time when a cartoon death metal band can release a full-length album and get their marketing people to “leak” it a month before it hits stores.
John’s organum recordings sound fascinating, but I’m on a loud, fast, and distorted binge right now.
10 Sep 2007 — 6:34am
I'm enjoying the most recent Bad Brains.

Nice coincidence, Rufus Wainwright is Kate McGarrigle's son. Totally unimportant detail, but okay. But I don't really like his music too much.
I do like Kweli's music though.
11 Sep 2007 — 4:11pm
I’ve had Rhianna on repeat for two days now. It never gets old. I need to go buy the CD and stop streaming the video from YouTube—this THX system does not do good things for Youtube audio.
11 Sep 2007 — 4:56pm
Jelmar you should check out the knife if you haven't heard them. Check out their Deep cuts album. Of topic you should also have a look and give me some feedback on my new typeface in the making in the critique section;o)

For Quincunx: The McGarrigle sisters!
I first heard about them through Linda Ronstadt covering some of their songs... Their albums are pretty hard to find in record stores these days... Maybe I should try online. :-)
12 Sep 2007 — 6:30am
I like the first Rufus recording but it has something to do with the Van Dyke Parks arrangements.
12 Sep 2007 — 11:21am
Ricardo: Yeah, I would try online. You can also search on youtube for a couple of live songs (especially the ones recorded for Transatlantic Sessions are great). No good sound quality, but nice songs nonetheless.
Endre: I will check The Knife out. And also your typeface, asap. :)
I've also got something in the pipeline to post on the critique boards.
Probably later tonight or tomorrow.

Sad news that Joe Zawinul has died.

Nice spread Nick!
13 Sep 2007 — 4:43pm
Sad news that Joe Zawinul has died.
At least he had a good long ride. But when I think of Weather Report, it is hard not to think of and be saddened by the tragic direction Jaco's life took. In his short span he influenced just about all bass players, whether they know it or not.
13 Sep 2007 — 4:59pm
man i've seen Sigur Ros about a million times, I really recommend them but not if you're going to see them in NYC
you guys should really pick up The Big Bang; an introduction to the hottest chick in the game is also in order.

James: John’s organum recordings sound fascinating, but I’m on a loud, fast, and distorted binge right now.
Ah, in that case I recommend Penderecki's string ensemble piece 'Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima'. A friend of mine always takes this CD with him when he goes speaker shopping: it's a great test piece, and always frightens the sales guys. You can hear a WMA sample here (pop-up window).
I have to admit that I massively prefer Penderecki's later music.
13 Sep 2007 — 5:24pm
A man! (John;-)
I played that snippet just before crawling to bed and now I cannot sleep. Probably the first time I've been really scared by sound alone. It sounded like it was recorded in hell.
Any music that can create a feeling so strong in a person deserves our respect.
Awesome....
I don't want to stop typing: It will be dark when I turn this off and right now the blue light from my Macbook Pro is the only thing keeping me safe!

people like: Tom Ze,Red Astaire, Quantic, Makossa Man and mashups in that style
14 Sep 2007 — 12:07am
haha, after hearing the test piece 'Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima' (John) my body hair stood on its tip, then i went into a hyterical fit of laughter. Luckily Andre, i'm in daylight now! i dont think i've ever been captured so quickly in a music piece as i just had. it was so instant.
on the other hand, currently listening to soap kills and Scrambled Eggs from LEBANON
14 Sep 2007 — 12:28am
Nick -- awww, I liked Weather Report too! Sorry to hear about Zawinul passing.
