Best to Worst:
>Time Machines – s/t
Read something about how the binaural tones in this album are supposed to hack the mind and put the body in a dream-like REM state and alter the brain to hallucinate. But I can tell you right now that’s all BULLSHIT. Hypnotic, yes, but an audible manifestation of drug use this is not. This is just a damn good drone album that’s well textured, and while the 2nd and 3rd tracks aren’t as mind-blowing as the bookending tracks, they’re still amazing.
>Various Artists – No New York
Some of the best this genre has to offer, and I finally get why this was the breakthrough for No Wave. Contortions and DNA show some of their strongest chops, while Mars (a band I’d never heard of) showed some pretty strong surprises, while Teenage Jesus brought mostly stinkers. Wish I had an English release, since my Russian copy
>Harry Revel, Les Baxter & Dr. Samuel J. Hoffman – Music Out of the Moon
You’d think since this album, being like 18 minutes long could hold interest for more than a minute in every track, but you’d think wrong. While I loved the heck out of a few parts, especially since this was pretty much the first “space age pop” album, but it felt very stale somehow.
>Yma Sumac – Voice of the Xtabay
I liked a lot of the voices here, but upon next listens I found myself much less engaged in it and ultimately felt like it was just uninteresting and dull. Bummed I didn’t enjoy this more.
>The Stooges – s/t
I have no clue how people think this competes with their next two albums. People mistakenly think this was edgy for rock music in 1969, so I can see the recent hindsight approval of this. Apparently people think the fact that it falls flat on its face is the appeal, but it doesn’t even become an appealing mess, it’s just a very mediocre one.

>>65321812
>Royal Trux – Twin Infinitives
After all these years it’s still shit. Fuckin’ hell, these guys are one of my top-listened to artists on last.fm just because of all the times I’ve tried to revisit this and failed. I should like this, it’s psychedelic, noisy, tape music, no wave, etc. but I just don’t, dammit. I’m officially ready to give up on Twin Infinitives (for now at least) and I’m very okay with that.
AND THAT’S ALL FOLKS
Favorites of this month were
>Plays Standards
>Small Change
>Forget Tomorrow
>Time Machines
>Prayer For Chibi
And least favorites were

>Morning Phase
>Disintegration Loops
>Songs in A&E
>Tigers Jaw
New Chart is pic related. Much more excited for a few reasons:
>Stuff I'm actually looking forward to
>It's shorter
>It's like 36 albums shorter
>Also doing other charts with it

No idea what to expect on the first three tapes. Hopefully it's terrible so it balances out my curve.
>>65321850
>I don't know how you finish these things so fast
1) No life
2) A heart of gold
3) Insecure and want people to validate my tastes. Way of compensating for being dumb and uninteresting
4) Pizza delivery job
getting started on matchup b of the tourney: nyar vs feelist, lerche vs. the terminals
pretty hype
>>65321874
ayy at least you get to listen to more music
and you're not dumb and uninteresting fish u a cool dude
Windy & Carl - Antarctica (The Bliss Out, Vol. 2)
This was good. Basically just nice ambient. Nothing that I was too amazed with but it was pleasant. 3.5/5.
Various Artists - The Hugo Masters: An Anthology of Chinese Classical Music, Vol. 1 - Bowed Strings
Yay Chinese trad. As expected, this was very good. A nice compilation showcasing those sweet Chinese strings and melodies. I am gonna be listening to the other compilations in the series and may or may not """review""" them. I doubt my thoughts will be very different from the ones I have here though. 4/5.
>>65321874
Don't be so hard on yourself Fishy. You'll always be interesting in my eyes.
Happy birthday /daily/. Can't believe two years has gone by.
I might listen to hermae today. Who knows.

regarding mio, her fanclub im p sure was my fav meme of the series
>>65322962
aw man now i have to watch that :- |
or i have to never watch that, cant decide
doesnt seem like my thing tho
>>65323129
it's kinda fun to watch tho i mostly watched it just bc of the game
tourney round 2 complete! nyar vs. post-feelist!
>sondre lerche - heartbeat radio
may have been my mood the past week or so, but this record gave me the fuckin feels. just super solid poppy love songs with a nice voice and (personally) affecting lyrics. this is what the indie side of tumblr-core wishes it could be. lovely, warm, and pretty. i hope someday i can feel happy to this record rather than melancholic and nostalgic.
>the terminals - little things
is it bad i can't remember much about listening to this record? it was still a pleasant experience with some good guitars and some nice songs, but there isn't much else i can say since most of it just didn't stick out to me. a lot of it seemed to blend together. i didn't not like it, but it wasn't too memorable. i'll probably give it a couple more spins and see if it sticks more.
congrats nyar for making it through the first round! send in your next rec soon, please! /daily/ now has another lerche fan. thanks to post-feelist for participating!
>>65323129
raibu is pretty fun, i'm actually watching season 2 right now.
desu my opinion on k-on is that it's mostly bullshit (fun bullshit nonetheless) but it kicks hard when that bullshit nears its end. feels like moving on from an actual friendship, you begin to appreciate the bullshit time you spent together a lot more once the end is in sight.
i didn't stop the animeposting oh no
I've been loving Snarky Puppy recently. Any recs for that kind of jam, I'm pretty clueless to modern jazz or whatever you call it.
I'm too hungover for how drunk I got last night ugh. At least I got some meaningful conversations and confidence boosts out of it I guess. Also pic related is still fantastic. Also Uneven Compromise still rips after 15 listens.
>>65322885
ayy, I knew you'd love it
>>65323522
>Uneven Compromise still rips after 15 listens
I haven't listened to it 15 times but I bet it does. Probably gonna move my rating on RYM for it up to a 5 cause it's so damn good.
>>65323537

I finished listening to Torts' rec for my tourney a while ago. Not listening to anything now but will do Moven's rec for tourney and Free for All for my calendar later.
>>65323645
Added you too, lad. Also, Uneven Compromise is a recent listen but already a 5 for you? Damn.
>>65323691
yeah i usually try to reserve my 10/10s for all time favorites but sometimes i get the urge to 10/10 something after only a couple of listens.
>>65323750
>yeah i usually try to reserve my 10/10s for all time favorites
As you might be able to tell from my curve, that isn't the case for me.
>but sometimes i get the urge to 10/10 something after only a couple of listens
I've done that before too yeah. Feels bad when you realise something isn't as good as you thought it was. Uneven Compromise is definitely GOAT though.
[spoiler] or is it? [/spoiler]
>>65323750
>>65323783
uneven compromise is definitely great but i'm not sure i can personally call it a 10/10 yet. fucking fantastic stuff though
>>65323783
>[spoiler] or is it? [/spoiler]
fuck, I sure hope so. last thing I 10/10d is now sitting at an 8 (98.12.28 Otokotachi no Wakare)
>>65323797
i'm probably just spazzing cuz i'm a hiphop pleb
>>65323797
Do it.
>>65323836
>last thing I 10/10d is now sitting at an 8 (98.12.28 Otokotachi no Wakare)
That's a 4.5/5 in my book and it'll probably stay that way unless I end up really getting into Fishmans.
>>65323836
i've listened to quite a bit of hip-hop and although it's certainly a highlight i dont think it stands up to some 10/10 projects imo. some of the best experimental hip-hop i've heard however
>>65323891
can you rec me some other good abstract/experimental hiphop? been digging a lot of backpacker stuff lately
>>65323897
have you listened to madvillainy yet? (or any doom for that matter)
if you want a personal backpacker favorite where you can hear the lil ugly mane influences check out resin by kill bill
https://exordiummusic.bandcamp.com/album/resin
alrighty got some synopses for you all
Ricci Rucker - Fugg
This was great, really liked the drumming, it's refreshing to hear poly-rhythms in hiphop, especially when they're so well executed, I can vibe to this
Robert Johnston - King of Delta Blues
I mean, yeah it was good, but there really wasn't much variety here... The tape hiss, although a part of the time in which this was recorded, also made it really hard to hear what was going on at times.
Sybyll Bailer - Colour Green
She has a very nice voice, and the production was incredibly warm, but I would have liked a little more variety here
Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique
There's a whole lot of variety here, more than I would have ever expected... the hype was pretty good as well, although sometimes the timbre of their voices got really wearing
Marge Litch - Fantasien 1998
Jpop meets Power Metal, works at first, then it really doesn't
although this isn't really w a n k, it's still really overstated...
is topsters working?
>>65323920
Madvillainy is coolio, will have to check out Kill Bill
>>65323981
check out some other doom stuff then, start maybe with operation doomsday
if you want some weird shit by the same dude who produced madvillainy rapping in a pitched up voice, check out quasimoto - the unseen
>>65324013
lol you're saying all that as if doom was some underground unknown rapper
>>65324098
nah i'm just assuming he ain't heard anything else by him
>>65313974
>record asap, i bet we'll give you at least a 3/10!
i recorded it when i first did it, won't be sharing it yet
Torts: Svitlana Nianio - Kytytsi
This was okay. I thought it brought in some interesting ideas and was nicely varied but none of the songs on this were really that great to me. Maybe I have to give it a relisten? I don't know. Might just not be for me. However, Torts advances.
Movenglut: October Falls - Sarastus
This was also okay. I thought the guitar playing and rain sounds were neat but the tracks felt a bit too sad in a cheesy way for me and just didn't really appeal to me that much. Because the album Torts chose was more interesting to me, Movenglut does not advance.
Round two over
I need recs from:
Torts

>music about love
Daniel Johnston - Songs of Pain
not exactly a happy kind of love if thats what you were asking for
i cant think of any better thing for love
38 years old - the tragically hip
Gave this a relisten after reading about Gordon Downie being diagnosed with cancer. Forgot how great of a storyteller the man is and got flooded with some much needed nostalgia.

Going to band practice soon.
Probably going to this thing afterwards.
>>65324658
Uhh, nice
Do they come to germany?
Today I relistened to un peu de neige salie by Bernhard Günter. It is a microsound record so it is very quiet throughout (there's tinnitus-like ringing every once in a while but it's barely bother -unlike in the onkyo records I've heard-) and overall I found this calm very pleasing. I enjoyed it.
(ps rec me nice records and works by French composers)

Well I like his mustache on the cover but other than that I don't have high or low expectations for it.

>Head Machine - "Orgasm"

A dadrock album that all about fuckin and climaxing. Overall the album is kind of a dull. The novelty wears thin rather quick and while the music quality is surprisingly decent, with its touches of psychedelic, rock and blues, it doesn't hold up. You've heard it all before and heard it better, except this time its unintentionally homo-erotic.

>You've heard it all before and heard it better, except this time its unintentionally homo-erotic.
is that a bad thing though
>>65325450
ah didnt see that the first time around
neither did i see a moustache, just looks like his upper lip imo, so ya might wanna reconsider the spot
btw abtu/anet is the one GA to go for imo, unless ya already did
>>65325604
Oh I thought he had a mustache, but a bigger image confirm he doesn't have one. Shame, it would look cool.
>btw abtu/anet is the one GA to go for imo, unless ya already did
I haven't, are the two records really different anyway?
ffs chrome just crashed while i was typing out my shitty reviews so they'll be even shittier now because I cba writing them out fully again. Afternoon btw.
>Simon Finn - Pass The Distance
Pretty great, wanted to listen to this ages ago after someone played Jerusalem on plug but never got round to it. Jerusalem is definitely the high point with it's raw vocals but most of the album was good too. 4/5
>Pere Ubu - The Modern Dance
Never liked Pere Ubu when I first listened to them a year or two ago but I actually liked this this time round. Still don't love it even though I probably should, it's pretty much just 60s garage/punk through a slightly experimental prism but it just doesn't quite work. I don't know if I want it to be weirder but either way it's enjoyable. 3.5/5
>CCCP - Affinità-divergenze fra il compagno Togliatti e noi: Del conseguimento della maggiore età
I expected this album to be a lot 'edgier' musically. I'm sure I'm missing quite a bit lyrically but it's just pretty standard punk/post punk with at least one riff sounding like it could have been on a Buzzcocks album. It's done well enough though so I'll give it a 3.5/5.
>>65325747
>CCCP
It's one of the best Italian albums but k :(
>>65325734
nah i spose it doesnt matter much, and i spose im just biased towards a/a for i listened to it earlier/more
>>65325884
I liked it and I think my expectations might have affected my opinion on it.
Can you give me any context for the album? I've not read up on it at all.
>>65322264
I still listen to that on occasion. I remember being so excited to hear it
>>65325594
>>65326118
I'd be hype and all but I've been kinda liking just using Photoshop more. Sure it takes longer and is less convenient but it's more customizable and kinda feels nicer.

>>65326561
listening to Scenery atm, I'm leaning towards a 'this is a good jazz 3.5/5'
>>65326582
Scenery is great. Which track are you on?
>>65326582
the really long one is the best because it has that drum breakdown in the middle
L
>>65323267
I'm so glad you liked it! Favorite songs?
And, any criteria for the round 2 recommendation?
>>65326596
>>65326606
Just finished my first listen and yeah Early Summer is great, definitely my favourite track. Yet again the drumming is my favourite part of a jazz record. Didn't like the first song much but the rest of the album was good, which is saying a lot since I'm not really a jazz guy at all.
>>65326715
Yeah Early Summer is a fantastic track. Though the drumming on there is excellent I'd say the piano is equally great there. Nice to see you liked it even if you're not too big on jazz.
I guess it's time to listen to World of Echo which has some of the best cover art in the game so I'm already not disappointed
>>65326662
no criteria for the round 2 rec
i cannot let you go through if only is a crazy good run. i guess it's gonna rain today is great as well.
>>65326742
Don't get me wrong, the piano is really nice but I find I like jazz more when the drums take the forefront. I've not listened to much jazz though so that could change.
The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady is next up.
>tfw back home feeling like a dog and totally not looking forward to the 13 hours of work tomorrow
What I am looking forward to is leaving work early on Friday and going with my gf to a museum.
I think I will review fryman's album a bit later today and watch some movie I downloaded.
>>65326847
oh boy that's my favorite jazz album ever, it's pretty emotive
>>65326847
>The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady is next up.
wew, have fun! It's amazing!
>>65326847
>Don't get me wrong, the piano is really nice but I find I like jazz more when the drums take the forefront. I've not listened to much jazz though so that could change.
Listen to some Art Blakey then. I listened to Free for All a while ago and holy shit it was excellent. It didn't scrobble though and I'd like to give it a relisten to improve my """review""" which is gonna be completely fine with me.
>The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady is next up.
Excited to see your thoughts on this.
>>65326854
What kind of museum?
>>65325884
Italian music sucks so this might be true
either way a 3.5 would be the highest score I'd give to that album, it's overhyped.
>>65326888
triple threat
>>65326847
yes have fun with black saint and the sinner lady, shit is GREAT
>>65326905
>What kind of museum?
We'll decide on Friday.
>>65326881
>>65326888
>>65326905
Am I in trouble if I don't like it then?
And I listened to Art Blakey's Moanin' just before I took my little break from here, need to relisten to it too.
>>65326979
i'll tell the principal if you don't
>>65326979
nah, you said you aren't a jazz guy so it probably won't excite you as much as us on the first few listens.
>>65326931
Sounds good.
>>65326931
Oh you will. Did you know that on RYM there isn't a single 1.5 or below rating on the album? This is actually the same for most of the other Mingus releases I've heard. The man was a glorious one.
>>65327083
>Did you know that on RYM there isn't a single 1.5 or below rating on the album
that's damn impressive for RYM. I remember first hearing about the album on (((Gilmore Girls))) which led me to wanting to listen to it. Thank you Lane
I thought I hated folk punk but these guys are honestly pretty good. It's actually energetic (unlike a lot of shitty folk punk bands) and the vocals are passionate as fuck. Your Heart Is a Muscle the Size of Your Fist especially is an anthem.
Seeing M83 tonight. Been a fan since saturdays = youth. What kind of crowd should i expect
>>65327178
P4k hipsters
>>65327178
scrawny dudes with thick-rimmed glasses who proudly proclaim that their new stuff just isn't as good after paraphrasing the last paragraph of the p4k review of the new album.
>>65327140
>that's damn impressive for RYM
I know. You'd think some fucker would go and give the album a 0.5 just to anger some people but it has not happened. Though it's probably just that the amount of people who've given it really low ratings is too small so it doesn't appear visible on the rating distribution thing.
>I remember first hearing about the album on (((Gilmore Girls)))
Interesting way to discover the album.
>>65326906
I have him a 3.5 too desu. Still it's a 7.5+ for me.
And Italian music doesn't suck fuck off >:(
Have you ever listened to De Andrè?
>>65326847
Check out Andrew Hill's Compulsion if you like drumming front-and-center. There's some great african rhythms as well as traditional drums, and Hill plays keyboard like a percussion instrument. It's one of my favourite jazz albums ever.
>>65327140
Has there ever been a tv character more patrician than Lane Kim?
>>65327334
Lane and Rory were so patrish in music and lit

Man, good picks! In my experience with the record, I get new favorites the more I listen to it, so right now I'm big on Almighty Moon. I liked I Guess It's Gonna Rain from the beginning though.
Ok, well I'm very excited that someone likes my favorite artist, so I'll recommend you the album that followed heartbeat radio, his self-titled, for round 2
>>65327315
Sounds like it could be my kind of thing thanks I'll give it a listen.
Btw does anyone have any suggestions for any reading on the history jazz. My knowledge of jazz is rubbish and I feel like some context might help me appreciate the genre better.

gotcha on the rec! looking forward to some more good lerche, man
>>65327461
I recommend watching the Ken Burns documentary for some good early info on the developments of jazz. It's pretty accurate and informative up until the 50's or so, then it's very biased against the free jazz and avantgarde movement which is lame. But it's still a great resource and I recommend it; I think it's 10 1hour episodes.
New Meme: Sondre Lurch
Photoshop Lurch from the Addams Family over Sondre's face on his album covers, esp self titled where Lerche already looks like a zombie.

Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - Free for All
Gonna try to make calendar reviews longer ones now.
They've done it again. ART BLAKEY AND FRIENDS HAVE DONE IT AGAIN. This stuff was absolutely fan-fucking-tastic. Intense, energetic, strong and well played among various other qualities.
The first track "Free for All" is an excellent opener and probably my favorite track on the album. It's an absolute burst of energy from everyone and has some of the best and fiercest drumming I've ever heard in normal jazz. The rest of the musicians were damn fierce as well on this track of course but I find it amazing that Blakey was able to keep on playing like that for so long without getting tired. Then again I have never tried playing the other instruments there before so I wouldn't really know how tiring it is.
The second track "Hammer Head" is probably my least favorite track on the album, but that doesn't mean it's not great. The track just feels a bit more boring than the other ones but the rest of the track is wonderful.
The third track "The Core" is a return to Blakey's fierce drumming. I really wonder how a man can not pass out of exhaustion after this stuff. It's just ENERGY ENERGY ENERGY all the way with this man and it's very engaging. It is my 2nd favorite track on the album.
The last track "Pensativa" is a bit of an odd one on this album. It reminds me a bit of bossa nova and isn't nearly as vigorous as the previous tracks. This doesn't stop it from being a very enjoyable track. Even if it is a bit different, it still feels fitting with the album and is a good way to close it after all of the vehement playing in the previous tracks. As you can probably extrapolate it is my 3rd favorite track on the album and is pretty pleasant.
Overall, this album is an A+ record filled with long tracks of marvelous exuberance along with less desirable but still great slower tracks.
To sum things up:
Wow these guys play good. Btw, nice drums. Thanks FFA hypers. 5/5.
>>65327605
I really want to listen to this now, lovely passionate review
>>65327605
>first album
>5/5
ready for bets on how many 5/5s mark is going to rate this month? my money's on 7
>>65327605
Great review, love me some Blakey
>>65327658
I vote 5
>>65327658
That's a good month, but I say just 5
>>65327605

Now this is a good meme.
>tfw was making a joke to oneothe earlier about leche flan and Sondre Lerche
I'm not surprised it's already been done.
>>65327723
I already sweat your nuts, Mark. Please give 3 recs for background listening at work today, you animal
>>65327534
i didn't even had to photoshop i just did a hackjob colorcorrect over one of the top google image results and here you go it's virtually identical
>>65327703
nice meme, i was supposed to steal that joke from mark i mean make that joke
>>65327765
Background music is kind of a tricky thing for me cause I'd say the best things to work to are either stuff you've already heard or drone/ambient.
I'll just throw in a few recs and hope you haven't heard three of em:
Motion Sickness of Time Travel - Seeping Through the Veil of Unconscious
Automaton - Dub Terror Exhaust
Philip Jeck - Stoke
Windy & Carl - Antarctica (The Bliss Out, Vol. 2)
Seclusion - Yukigafuru (Parts 1-4)
Tor Lundvall - Under the Shadows of Trees
Taylor Deupree - Snow (Dusk, Dawn)
Henry Flynt - You Are My Everlovin / Celestial Power (Potentially headache inducing depending on what kind of person you are)

My entry for the Thrift Shop tournament. I guess Albert Ayler is somehow popular but I've never heard of him :(
>>65327925
oh i just wanted to emphasize that it was me who it's already been done by
>>65327962
No prob, comrade
>>65327986
You've never heard of Albert Ayler? Well that's interesting.
>>65328042
Nope, sadly Jazz is the genre I've listened least. I know only the mainstream artists.
First listen of June off to a good start:
>Arthur Russell - World of Echo
It's difficult to believe just a cello, minimal electronic tones, reverb, and primal percussion comprise such a rich atmosphere of aural impressionism. Immersive from the first track, it's like listening to a painting where each bow of the cello and strain of the voice work as the tremendous strokes on his obscured canvas. I had to do some research and make sure it wasn't an electric guitar I was hearing on some of these tracks.
The song Tree House somehow finds itself verging into the realm of techno, with the glitched primitive percussion and violent plucks seeming to propel the song forward. The breathed whispers add to the frenzy of the track. I tried to find lyrics to these songs but most sources proved unreliable.
The nature of the echoed atmosphere, although remaining an interesting stylistic choice, can lend itself to the problem having many of the tracks sound similar and blurred together. I feel as if future listens may resolve this matter (and their certainly will be). The last few tracks kind of drag on, but they were tacked on with the reissue.
I REALLY ENJOYED THIS
Favorite songs: Tree House, Wax the Van, Tone Bone Know, Let's Go Swimming

HYPE 4 HILL
MORE HILL PLS
>>65327986
>10 EURO
bought the entire Pavement discography (bar Brighten the Corners) from a thrift shop for under 10 Dollars AUS
>>65328116
I'll probably start a new one in a bit. The last one is fucked up with half of the people not even in daily anymore
>>65328140
That's cause no one buys CD's anymore. They have almost all the vinyl discs for 20 euros tho
>>65328163
Jesus man, mine are $2/record and $3/CD, and that's canadian currency.
>>65328068
>>65328133
Also interested in Hill opinion among others desu.
>>65328163
Oh boy. If you do start one, reserve a spot for me pls.
>>65328192
2$ a record what
Is that a dream? How the fuck do you pay so little?
Also, does your review include "The Last Album" too?
New rating = pig nose
means between an 8-9
higher will prob involve a full pig or something
>>65328163
vinter jazz tourney pls
Back from exam!
What did I miss in the thrift shop tourney? Will buy my entry tomorrow.
>>65328163
>>65328232
I pay like 2$ an album
but there's almost always nothing of worth, it's always worth checking out though
>>65328232
It doesn't, and I think a 6.8 is a little harsh looking back
I'll give it another listen right proper
Can you rip the CD and upload it? Just so we're all hearing exactly the same thing.
>>65327605
>tfw realise I'm stupid, didn't include my thoughts on the calendar and put the rating in the wrong area
I'll have to fix that
>>65328245
Vinter jazz only tourney would be sick stuff. Also, I don't think I'll be joining the thrift tourney ;_;
>>65328288
>>65328245
Sure thing, I have a small tourney going on with friends but I guess I can start it something like on the 7th or so.
>>65328280
Yup, I'll upload is asap. I'm a bit busy today and tomorrow but I think I'll be able to rip it tomorrow evening.
>>65327986
Wtf, he's really popular, that's almost cheating
anybody have some music
>>65328360
i want in
>>65328376
If that's a problem I can buy something else, np

I cant make topsters2 charts because my laptop nukes it's memory every time I close it
So I'll just post 1x1 charts ;8)
This album is quite good; reminds me of early soft machine in a way, but more heavy psych influence. The drumming is easily the highlight of the album, and the guitar soundscapes are quite nice, albeit a tad meandering and boring at times. A good listen nonetheless.
6.5/10
>>65328795
Buying something for 10€ kinda guarantees some kind of quality
But then again, there's also a lot of bad expensive stuff, so yeah, not that much of a problem

Looks rad, dude!
If it plays nice be sure to upload it

>Jandek - Skirting The Edge
[spoiler]holy fucking shit he pulled out an amazing album out of his ass[/spoiler]
A lonely room on the cover. I feel like it has been a while since we’ve seen this kind of solitude.
Four tracks formula seems to be working for Jandek. This one lasts 50 minutes though.
The Side Of The Road opens up with that old familiar acoustic guitar. The protagonist is on a lonely road once again, casually strolling down, ready to leave everything behind. It feels like he is leaving behind a huge burden of life, but somehow the track ends up being rather uplifting. It is nice to leave behind things that bring you down and the protagonist definitely gave it enough time and consideration.
I Know My Name starts with almost a stumble. The tempo picks up as the rep delivers a very rambling vocal section. It’s 23 minutes of very theatrical delivery from Jandek. This is an absolutely stunning performance. This would perfectly fit somewhere on the talky trilogy but the guitar gives it a different aftertaste. Imagine getting really really drunk and sitting by yourself in the room, talking to an object of your affection really loud without him/her being there. There is no time to think about what you say, you just let go. Then the protagonist goes into the world of self-loathing with a hint of a spiritual revelation. This is how this track feels like and I absolutely fucking loved it. There are these moments when the Corwood representative takes all his power of seducing you into his world with all his honesty and this is exactly when he gets me.
>>65327986
I thought the limit was <$5 :^/
you gon win
>>65328901
The Playground is just as rushed, but slightly more nonsensical than the previous effort. It even includes personal names (some fellow Albert) few of which I haven’t heard in a while. The track turns into another story of obsession over the protagonist’s muse. There is always a sense of giving up life to the other person in this kind of Jandek tracks. It ends on a very sweet " I love you /Love you /I’m not me /I‘m you /and I want you to be me /so we can be the same”.
The closing Last Sunlight finds Jandek delivering the lines with peak intensity on the record, especially exclaiming how perfect his muse is. He even lets out a “yawooeeee”! The thing about this story though is that at the end the protagonist leaves this world of the other person. He gives out a long and loving goodbye to his loved one. Somehow it still feels wrong because when claiming that he let go of all the bad things she suddenly shows up and it all feels like it did before. Bizarre story from Jandek, but I guess love is a bizarre thing after all.
Wonderful return to form. I Know My Name is fantastic. The other tracks are close.

Wew, that's weird
I don't complain then
Is this thrift store thing a tourney or more like a listenalong?
I haven't really been paying attention.
>>65329033
>I can change the record to something more obscure if that's a problem tho
idk mayn, I'm conflicted, on one hand it's a pretty universally liked jazz album that I think a lot of peope have already heard and enjoy so it sort of defeats the purpose of listening to a bunch of weird thrift shit
one the other, you did follow the rules
Did you seriously never hear the name Albert Ayler beforehand?
>>65329202
We all just blind buy a random album at a thrift store and rate all of them
the winner is the highest aggregate score of the ratings

Nope, never. But I'm pretty blind when it comes to Jazz. I have a lot of CD's in my garage that my father left me, some of them are not even opened yet so if you want I can search something in there.

Request an application form from Smurmelade at https://rateyourmusic.com/~Magus_The_Sexy, wait five to ten work days for it to be processed, then another two to three weeks for your card to arrive. You may request a digital pass so you can access premium /daily/ content before your card arrives for a small fee. This will also prioritize your application so it may be processed a little faster.

Not your fault in the slightest, though. If you wanna dig through the garage and grab an album that looks cool you're good to go!

You can. Send a dick pic to misha to have your application processed instantly. You'll still have to pay extra for the digital pass though.
