Lee Hazlewood - Love and Other Crimes

This was such a bad post it just needed it to be gone. Suffice it to say this is a classic and you should have this in your life.

By the way, that fucking mustache

Monoton - Monotonprodukt 07

Extremely dense, atmospheric dark ambient that sounds like it was recorded 30 years later than its retro synths would suggest. Makes me think of a colder, darker Tangerine Dream + scawy German vocals. Definitely recommended for fans of minimalist drone type stuff.

Doris Duke - I'm a Loser

In my limited exposure to soul, this album has been singular in consistency and emotional resonance. Though the story of the album concerns a woman desperately lost in life, the production is beautifully varied in mood. Doris Duke herself demands attention with a voice simultaneously powerful and always warning of shattering (if you'll forgive the strange, strange comparison, it is the same captivating balance which Max Varnier struck on Last Tape Before Doomsday). The general sentiment of the album is one of melancholy but it is executed by sensible musicians whose restraint and good taste keep this from being kitsch.

I don't know if I'm better off alive or dead

Nicolas Bernier + Jacques Poulin-Denis - Étude no.3 pour cordes et poulies (2007)

I’m fairly sure that the combination of classical sounds which repeated exposure has made seem organic and the clearly artificial is what makes Program Music I so enticing to so many people. These same two elements conspire on Étude no.3 pour cordes et poulies, albeit existing in their own form rather than conforming to a predictable electronic structure. The main difference, though?

This album doesn’t blow cock.

Jack Logan - Bulk

Bulk is an unsung lo-fi indie classic. The story goes that Jack Logan, a pool motor repairman from Athens, GA, spent a decade rackin up quite a catalog of bedroom folk material, something to the tune of 600 songs. Luckily he got noticed for making some comic starring Pete Buck of R.E.M. as a superhero, so here are 42 tracks from that selection. This dude is a genius. Jack doesn't stick to one particular genre, hopping from folk to post-punk to country to blues and more with every track. The only thing that remains constant is the feeling that you're listening to an intensely personal bedroom album by a reclusive muse. My faves include "The Parishioners," which features the late, great fellow Athens resident Vic Chesnutt on vocals, a badass stripped-down cover of Neil Young's "On The Beach"... shit, there's too much on here to choose from. It's a shame that the most attention that this guy's ever gotten came from his part on an episode of Space Ghost Coast 2 Coast. On second thought, that isn't a shame. That rules. great episode btw

and ah hell why not

Connan Mockasin - Forever Dolphin Love

Originally a Kiwi, from Te Awanga, Connan and his band of misfits relocated to London, bringing their murky psych-pop with them. Funnily enough, they have supported Crowded House of all people (surely the NZ music scene is not that small?), though I would assume those kind of high profile gigs have not helped so much in connecting with the right audience. Considering the return to sun-bleached psych in the indiesphere, I cannot understand why this guy is not more popular. Check the video for a more energetic example of his oddball pop.
