by Fred (follow us on Facebook) This is the wrong way to introduce music, but, just as wrong? How far behind I am on blog stuff. And next week won’t be much better. So it’s either this, or I never get around to recommending it at all: 1. Toothpick On Rage by AndrĂ© Pissoir 2. [...]

by Fred+3 With track titles like “Alice had a boyfriend in her dream (No means yes, and yes means anal),” and “Look at them pelicans fly men! Go pelican!” you likely already have a fully-fleshed idea of what the music sounds like. And you’re right. You’re absolutely right. The ensemble is named Captan, obvio, and [...]

by Fred A tense and sparse experimental piece from Clinical Archives. “Rhythm” sounds as if Natasha Khan has filmed two mimes — one a baptist, one a bootlegger — running a three-legged race through a china shop, then asked Drums and Tuba to write the soundtrack. Without the drums. Opening tracks “Strang” and “Piano, The [...]

by Fred Download it for free, here. I just did. And weren’t you just saying you would if I would? So get on it. Horrible LP title, but that’s what letters to the editor are for. “Desi Watfah” is busy and full of clicks. “Ziko Iko Iko” is fuzzy and industrial and causes me to [...]

by Fred “Apse.” “Carlos Suarez.” The former? An effortless post-rock band we have covered several times already. I can’t keep their 2006 release Spirit out of heavy rotation. For those new to the site, find their home page here, their Facebook page here, and their Myspace page here. The latter? One-man tsunami, ethnomusicologist, and composer [...]

by Fred Like Patrick (don’t call him Pat!) just got done saying, we’re up to our chins in snow. To wit, the snapshot above, wherein our everything-and-the-kitchen-sink bamboo is shown all hunched over like an old guy on a park bench.
