It took me a minute to put the finishing touches on this, but here we have a three-hour megamix of some of my favorite new-to-me songs of the past two years. Each part is designed to be listened to in one sitting, and the four parts are designed to be heard in order. Email me for the tracklist or with any questions: artdecade1977 at gmail dot com.<br />
<br />
And here commences a hopefully not terribly long hiatus (it could be six months or a year) as I will myself to focus on some work/life improvement for a spell, not to mention blog restructuring.<br />
<br />
Thanks to all who have listened through the years. Don't dream it's over: A.D. <i>will</i> return... and in greater number!<br />
<br />
Enjoy 2015 in the meantime.<br />
<br />

I am working on a couple of projects that will appear on this blog but won't be completed for another couple of weeks or so. In the meantime, please note that I've added some white-hot new links to the right of this page: "Podcasts" and the "Best Of" selections from 2011 and 2012. These links should function as portals of discovery for most.<br />
<br />
Lastly, thanks to everyone who listened or commented or emailed in 2014 or before, and best wishes to everyone for a spacious and surprising 2015!<br />

The triumphant <a href="http://artdecade.blogspot.com/2012/04/philip-catherine-jeux-interdits.html" target="_blank">return</a> of Philip Catherine to these pages, and the triumphant return of "Nairam": I posted another version of this tune <a href="http://artdecade.blogspot.com/2009/04/only-chrome-waterfall-orchestra-nairam.html" target="_blank">the other day</a>. This version is probably better, but the band name on the earlier post was cooler, so it evens out.<br />

P.S. It's the suspended chord or whatever it is at 0:48 that makes this song for me.

<br />
Slept on this when DFA <a href="http://store.dfarecords.com/products/dfa2263" target="_blank">reissued</a> it in 2010, and when Thunderbals <a href="http://www.dreamchimney.com/tracks/19260" target="_blank">posted</a> it in 2008, and when Colette <a href="http://www.discogs.com/Justine-And-The-Victorian-Punks-Beautiful-Dreamer/release/1101187" target="_blank">released</a> it in 1979, and when Stephen Foster <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beautiful_Dreamer" target="_blank">wrote</a> it in 1862.<br />
<br />
I was hoping to find a version from pre-1920 to post alongside this, but couldn't. I did find <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBwnY6qN1D0" target="_blank">this</a>.<br />
<br />
Stephen Foster, the author of "Oh! Susannah" and "My Old Kentucky Home", never lived in the South and visited it only once, in 1852. He died aged 37 in 1864, while residing in a hotel at <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7150558,-73.9968627,3a,84.7y,270h,91.92t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1saTQMbfb4YmmRW42NLGbqfA!2e0" target="_blank">30 Bowery Street</a>, about fifteen minutes on foot away from <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/Electric+Lady+Studios/@40.7332796,-73.998838,3a,90y,206h,90t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1ssJWJ17OspDjGtutE77Vjvw!2e0!4m2!3m1!1s0x89c25996c8a3f689:0xeec21231d7af3c86!6m1!1e1" target="_blank">Electric Lady Studios</a>, where Justine & co. recorded their version of "Beautiful Dreamer."Emmetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09887578369365842959noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22345387.post-2004391409607825722014-12-14T07:15:00.001-05:002014-12-14T07:15:14.576-05:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zSAkV95n-7A/VI19kKlLGYI/AAAAAAAAFZ0/UJtbfu8sPew/s1600/angel1.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zSAkV95n-7A/VI19kKlLGYI/AAAAAAAAFZ0/UJtbfu8sPew/s400/angel1.jpg" /></a><br />

Shiny Two Shiny - Waiting For Us (12" mix)<br />
<br />
This was just reissued on <a href="http://www.capturedtracks.com/shop/ct-related-releases/ct-210-shiny-two-shiny-when-the-rain-stops-lpcd/" target="_blank">Captured Tracks</a> (thanks!), so I took the link down. Let's notice that the 12" mix places the snare drum on "1" and "3", with bass drums on "2" and "4", while the album version does not. In other words, the drumbeat is backwards. Off the top of my head, I can think of only <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5-rdr0qhWk" target="_blank">one other song</a> that does this, and there it happens only for a few bars (at the 2:12 mark). <br />

Now that my son is in full-day pre-K I had a minute to work on alphabetizing my CDs and actually listened to this full CD that I got <a href="http://artdecade.blogspot.com/2010/12/pastor-t.html" target="_blank">four years ago</a>. Dear me. Phil Upchurch on bass (didn't even realize he played bass?), the return of the twin-tambourine shamanistic attack, and arguably the greatest handclap sound ever committed to tape. Soultransfigured and soultransfiguring stuff here from Pastor Barrett and his flock.<br />

"So a twenty-first century guitarist recorded all of Gesualdo's madrigals after transcribing them for five guitars? Huh. I'm still listening. But were they recorded on, you know, a cassette recorder, yielding quite a bit of background noise? And were they also recorded in, you know, like a zoo or whatever, so you can hear some kind of bird or something chattering away in the background, and also many cars driving by? They were? OK, cool. I'm in."<br />

N.B. If memory serves this is the first we've heard of Renaissance music performed on modern guitars since <a href="http://artdecade.blogspot.com/2008/04/sandy-bull-triple-ballade-sans-cueramis.html" target="_blank">this one</a>, but there's myriad more on offer at <a href="http://noelakchote.bandcamp.com/music" target="_blank">Noël's bandcamp page</a>.Emmetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09887578369365842959noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22345387.post-91677156795397086952014-11-15T09:04:00.002-05:002014-11-15T09:11:06.388-05:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iXaBhMy6UDA/VGdbLU5T3_I/AAAAAAAAFWw/HBdA5YfzoGM/s1600/miaow.jpeg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iXaBhMy6UDA/VGdbLU5T3_I/AAAAAAAAFWw/HBdA5YfzoGM/s400/miaow.jpeg" /></a><br />

In a pre-ANGST frenzy, a trawl through the <a href="http://bumrocks.com/" target="_blank">bumrocks</a> 2004 archive turned up this brace of washed-out heartless German teenwave winners.

The lads from Kraftwerk released four versions of this in four languages: English, German, Japanese, French. I strongly prefer the German. Nice to hear whoever it is adding impromptu filigrees to his theme circa 0:22 and ff.<br />

(recorded "live" in Paris, December 1969)<br />
<br />
Ye Olde Blog turns 8 today, and sort of like Thelonious in '69 (if so flattering a comparison be permitted), it's a little bit older and a little bit slower, and yet we still manage to amuse ourselves now and again, as Thelonious does with his mysterious outro at the 3:48 mark. See how he allows himself the briefest of smiles at 13:32 in this video:<br />

Dear party people, please join me on Thursday, November 6th, at the Walter Reade Theater (Lincoln Center), for a special screening of ANGST (1983), a disturbing <strike>German</strike> Austrian horror film!<br />
<br />
Event details <a href="http://www.filmlinc.com/films/on-sale/angst" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
I'll be DJing the afterparty. The subject matter isn't quite as lighthearted as <a href="http://artdecade.blogspot.com/2013/08/looks-like-tickets-are-still-available.html" target="_blank">last time</a>, so I'm not sure what to play. I'm thinking possibly 80s, possibly Klaus Schulze-related, possibly German, possibly scary/funny. Probably <a href="http://artdecade.blogspot.com/2007/07/die-doraus-und-die-marinas-fred-vom.html" target="_blank">this one</a> will make an appearance. Anyone got any other ideas?<br />
<br />
Should be a great mix of people at the event considering what sort of person would seek this film out. Looking forward to seeing everyone there! Emmetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09887578369365842959noreply@blogger.com4
