Sofia Coppola released one of my new favorite movies of last year, Lost in Translation. On the movie’s impeccable soundtrack, I became familiar with a twenty-something Parisian known as Sebastien Tellier. The song 'Fantino' was one of the better tracks from the collection and subsequently started my quest to find out more about this man’s work.

I heard a track by paris 1942 on the college radio station today. I've been listening to a band i've never heard of.Ostinato.
on a label i've never heard of.Exile On Mainstream. I kinda dig it.
Mostly instrumental. Kinda post-rocky.
But not so post-rocky that i get bored. And they add some horns here and there. And i keep listening to the grizzly bear album. I really dig that one. I keep digging thru my CDs to see what i can sacrifice to the record store and trade for the This Heat box. It's the only way i can justify getting it (80 bucks!). But i really want it.
Especially since i sold all my vinyl reissues on ebay when i saw what they were going for. ―, Monday, 10 July 2006 13:47 (twelve years ago). 'What are the extra tracks on the High Tide albums like, Scott?' Sea Shanties: demos of 'Death Warmed Up' and 'Pushed, But Not Forgotten' that are different enough to be interesting. PLUS, two songs that didn't make it on the album cuzza length, 'Time Gauges' and the 11 minute instrumental 'The Great Universal Protection Racket'. It's kinda like having an extra side of a record.
The long instrumental is all over the place. It doesn't really fit the darker mood of the album. High Tide: demos of 'The Joke' and 'Blankman Cries Again' and two songs that didn't make it to the album. 'Ice Age' and, get this, a 15 minute version of 'The Great Universal Protection Racket'!!
The thing was doomed. And it just got cooler. I honestly can't remember what 'Ice Age' and 'Time Gauges' sound like. I need to listen again.
I liked them though. Anyway, not all reissues are worth the dough, but these are. Liner-notes aren't great, but they sound great and the extra stuff is actually worthwhile.
The reproduction of a gig flyer had me drooling: ZIGZAG BREAD-RAISING DANCE AT THE CIVIC HALL QUEENSWAY, DUNSTABLE EDGAR BROUGHTON BAND THE GROUNDHOGS HIGH TIDE SWEET SLAG (how many people went deaf that day?) (oh, and these are being put out by Eclectic Discs) ―, Friday, 14 July 2006 11:07 (twelve years ago). Fuck I HATE re-buying stuff that I already own, but it looks like I HAVE to have those High Tide reissues!!! I actually saw them listed somewhere and assumed it just the usual 'alternate take' deal. But Skot's description is too mouth-watering to ignore. Dammit but yeah, Eclectic does a fine job - I got those Egg issues too. Plus fukcin EAST OF EDEN!
I know Pash is down who the fuck is Sweet Slag?! Never heard of them!
But if they were on that lineup and had an LP - well, have to hear it. Also, Pash do you like IF?? For some reason I own like 4 of their LPs. I just always bought them out of habit or something and then never listened to them. I first bought that 'Waterfall' one which I think is the only non-numbered one and was recorded live and has the beloved center-fold-out design.
I kinda like it! But never listen. They seemed like a slicker but less interesting Jethro Tull. ―, Saturday, 15 July 2006 06:41 (twelve years ago). Oneida - History's Great Navigators (4:28) 2.

And they are all almost PERFECT. I can't remember the last time i saw such clean records. Minty minty minty. They sound amazing. The Staccato reissue is so phat. Music from a john cassavettes t.v. Man with the golden arm type blasting movie jazz.
The euro pressings are godhead, but they all sound amazing. Such a fun way to test yer hi-fi!
I love how the trial of billy jack soundtrack goes from godspell hippy folk to marching band to wahwah porn funk in the space of a few minutes. I picked up the 2 High Tide reissues the other night. They're great! I'm guessing that they must have located the master tapes, b/c it doesn't sound like a vinyl transfer, like the other reissues I've had.
I figured out that I've owned 5 different generations of High Tide reissue! A pair of 12' semi-legit issues in the '80s on the same label that put out that Groundhogs 'Hoggin' the Stage' 2 x 12, Japanese CDs, Repertoire CDs, the EMI 2 albums on one disc, and now these, all in the (up to now folorn) hope that I'm going to get a one w/o the annoying mispress noise on 'blankman cries again'. Now I've got it! I stuck them on in the car & cranked the stereo up, and it brought me back to the first time I ever heard 'Sea Shanties' - hearing 'Pushed but not forgotten', thinking something like 'holy fuck, this is the most heavy, rocking music ever', then 'Death Warmed Up' kicks off, and it's even heavier & even more rocking! There's this bit on 'Death Warmed Up' that gives me the thrills even 20yrs after first getting this album, I think it's the third time round for the chord sequence that makes the piece up, you can hear Simon House playing a 5th on the electric violin, then stepping on the fuzz box, so it goes from regular violin sound to this fuzz power chord. What a fucking player!
'Ice Age' is the best of the extra tracks, but it's a fucker, b/c it was recorded after the 2 albums, & just before they split after getting dropped by the label, it makes you think they had at least one other great album in them. The 2 versions of the long track, 'the great universal scam', or whatever it's called - on the one hand, totally disjointed, a mess, like a bunch of different pieces edited together at random. On the other, some band could take the piece, pick out all the different riffs, and make a whole album out of it, easy. Weird thing about the band, compared w/other heavy guitar bands from the time is that there's no real trace of blues in their tunes. Occasionally Hill will play some blues-ish phrase in one of his solos (which usually kind of doesn't fit) but apart from that their whole compositional thing is other, somehow, compared to contemporary bands. Obv, there's a good bit of english folk music in some of the tunes, but not all of them.
There's some mention of Tony Hill's new band on the sleevenotes, it says they're really good. Has anyone heard them? 69-72 was such a great time for british music. So many great, great bands, but the whole era still gets a bad rep to this day in the papers/magazines over here. ―, Thursday, 20 July 2006 12:28 (twelve years ago). I just went to the record store and bought the new vetiver.
Not only were you guys talking about it, but at the same time maria was playing it on her computer and i heard a guitar blast that sounded pretty rightous. So i bought the vinyl. I got the Oriental Sunshine vinyl reissue on Sunbeam too. And the double Repulsion vinyl on Southern Lord. Ask a noize dood time: would i like Mouthus? They had some Mouthus vinyl at the store. They also had a cool looking Bo Weevil rekkerd with Wooden Wand on it.
―, Thursday, 20 July 2006 17:46 (twelve years ago). I think screamers are probably a better idea/legend/logo that looks good on the back of a hand-painted leather jacket. I like that stuff. Maybe i would like Mouthus. The Oriental Sunshine is good. Nice and dreamy. Tons of sitar.
Great production. Yeah, the open mind boot i have has a pretty bad color copy cover. But nice heavy vinyl. I mean, it always sounded really good to me. But i imagine the real deal or a good transfer would sound even better. ―, Thursday, 20 July 2006 21:21 (twelve years ago). Re babe ruth: tim, get First Base.
There's also a greatest hits i got from Dusty Groove that's pretty cheap and has most of the good stuff. I'm sure you've heard the Mexican, no? Funkiest prog track EVER!
I still don't have the vinyl on that one, but i love the shit out of it. Speaking of the Mexican, anyone know who the Bombers are? I think they're an r'n'b/electro group, but they do a cover of that track that i really can barely tell if it's a cover or samples or what not, but it's pretty much the same track.
PLEASE GIVE ME INFO! ―, Friday, 21 July 2006 05:27 (twelve years ago). Ian.we went through this last time i had a sentimental hunger for it (round february 14, for easily understood reasons).ill swing by next chance, though, 'less you discover its gone. Thats exactly what im hoping to do.

Here is my review of the last Gorod album. Hahahaha, i am a SKETCH!: Thomas de Quincey once wrote, “Here, perhaps, the reader will exclaim ‘Avoid, Satanas!’ to me, falsely supposing that I have some design upon his eyes, and wish to blind them with learned dust. But, if he thinks that, he is in the wrong box; I must and will express scholastic phrases; but, having once done this, I am then ready to descend into the arena with no other weapons than plain English can furnish.” Gallic gore-goons Gorod take this sentiment to heart. You may think, upon first listening to this epic assault, that they’re trying to confuse your senses with dizzyingly high-tech noodle-grind guitar solos that would no doubt incite Yngwie to unleash the fucking fury in a pressurized cabin if he ever heard them on his in-flight headphones. You may think that 4,000 riffs and shifts in tempo per song is a tactic designed to keep you on edge and perhaps compel you to rethink that whole “college is for sheep” philosophy you’ve been working on at mom’s house for the last ten years.
(And by the way, that’s not your bong you’re filling—that’s the vacuum cleaner.) But no; like de Quincey, Gorod put on their fancy duds—those prog-level displays of nimbleness that are every guitar-store cowboy’s dream—only to share simpler reveries in a plain English that anyone can understand. For instance: “Gutted/ Minced/ Mashed/ Soiled/ We stay horrified/ We must find him/ Gorod can release us/ Damned as spectrums/ Gorod opens its stone door/ To pillar Neurotripsicks/ Easy to smell/ Pig’s bloated face/ Zero tolerance for uncunt creatures/ Pig’s bloated face/ Pitiless under savagery.” An entire worldview, as easy as you please. See, the Gorod is the ancient enemy of the Neurotripsicks, and well, that’s not important. What is important is that France is second to no nation when it comes to screwed-up grindcore.
Plus, they have 30-hour workweeks, national health care and free wine and cheese for all citizens. So fuck you, Dubya! ―, Tuesday, 1 August 2006 21:45 (twelve years ago). Winamp shuffle plugged into a tiny practice amp is my awesome sound system and what sounds awesome through it this afternoon is/are/ares: heldon - its always rock and roll keyshia cole - the way it is ragnar grippe - sand (i don't know what it is with this album, i listen to it all the freakin time but i could just as easily plug in the delay pedal and shake some beads around hum a few notes on my ocarina and let it loop endlessly and it would sound similar)(but i still love it!!!!) ―, Saturday, 5 August 2006 19:55 (twelve years ago). Zecalouro was wondering why Marku Ribas was running to kick a ball at the beach on this cover.
Actually, this is not a ball, it is just a round label that was placed by someone on this right place. Now zecalouro is wondering where Marku Ribas is going on such a rush or dancing.
Anyway, it does not matter, since we have Marku Ribas - Cavalo das Alegrias (1979). Cavalo da Alegrias has the participation of Erasmo Carlos and orchestral arrangements by Antonio Adolfo. ―, Thursday, 10 August 2006 00:09 (twelve years ago). Ergo Phizmiz - 1000 year mix Michel Legrand - Les Parapluies de Cherbourg ost Y Bhekhirst - Hot In The Airport Else Marie Pade - her two CDs of 60's electronic sinewave seemed maybe primitive the first time but I've been playing them a bit more and now they seem intense & advanced.

More Sun City Girls than you can shake a stick at: Djinn Funnel- the best thing they've done in a long time Montreal Pop- Not great but not a throwaway. I think some 'locals' put this out. Tibetian Jazz 666- 1988 release still yanks my crank. Why didn't I fuckin' buy their shit then-oh wait you could only get Caroline and SST records in Western,PA, by special order.Record stores?? I think I saw Black Flag and Sonic Youth cassettes at the mail super store, before they were on MTV. Up next Box of Chameleons after a throw back a few more brews.
―, Friday, 11 August 2006 23:45 (twelve years ago). Bleeding edge festival: brightblack morning light, the music is not an affect, those guys are good people. William basinski's opening 15 minute sustained seventh, almost wanted the whole set to be just that chord but then he broke away to a distintegration loop. Matmos/zeena did a great first show (needs more zeena-specific pieces though). Sunroof with joseph hammer was very good, bower's feedback guitar at first seemed to be 100% of the sound but once you acclimated you could hear a constant stream of fantastic murky hammersounds creeping around beneath. Black dice had a few moments where they almost made it before the tapes & volume took over, I can't say that I get them. Isis' drummer missed his flight - security had problems with his kit and wouldn't let him back home - so the rest of isis and tim hecker played an ambient set that had some strong parts, but perhaps could have gone a little further.
Highlight were the redwood trails circling the mountain above the ampitheatre where you could hear three stages at once echoing up the hill at you. ―, Monday, 14 August 2006 20:08 (twelve years ago). There was a Max Ochs 7' that came out a little while back on the Tompkins Square label; I never heard it - I think it may have been old unreleased stuff though. Are you gtr dudes hip to the Fred Gerlach lp?
You should look for it, nobody ever talks about it. Could probably scare one up pretty cheap. It's where Jimmy Page got 'Gallows Pole'.
It came out on Folkways but there were a couple of issues of it, also released on the Audio Fidelity (?) label (same material.) ―, Tuesday, 22 August 2006 01:14 (twelve years ago). I think i did hear that, too, about the basho. I didn't get a copy of the max ochs thing, but seem to recall talk of a full ochs re-issue.i don't think he recorded all that much beyond the few sides for tacoma (but could be very wrong.ian?). He was frankly undewhelming at the Tompkins Square benefit show (@ houseing works in dec?).
I do like the pieces of his i have heard, but thats been about two. I'd love to hear that gerlach. Anyway.listening to people like us' shows i've not payed a scrap of attention to from this summer. ―, Tuesday, 22 August 2006 12:08 (twelve years ago).
Now i'm playing peter brown's stargazer album and the come into my heart full-length by usa-european connection. Drive & Marlin respectively. I've had peter brown's crank it up single for years, but i've never heard the whole album. The usa-euro album (which is just two song medleys on each side) is just massive massive disco. Amazing beats and percussion. Sounds soooooooo good. (having a super-clean promo pressing helps.) ―, Wednesday, 23 August 2006 16:31 (twelve years ago).
After realizing that my realplayer was on repeat and uncle bob's 'to ramona' isnt an hour and a half long, ive switched to mingus ah um (best turn the repeat off). Josephine foster's five leaves less than nick drake on the train in. Overheard some of the new joanna newsom tracks last night and am now excited.there seem to be some very melanie moments.just way! And a nice little set from tk webb, whose guitar technique is getting sublime.

Today, i mostly listened to metal. No kidz around, so i could blast stuff. Fuck the facts(good), draconian(okay), sulaco(not bad), across tundras(pretty good), mastodon(remission.
Haven't played it in years. Still sounds good.), estradasphere (more of a gypsy/surf/instrumental thing with moments of heaviness, but it's on a metal label. New hope conspiracy (so great). Randy holden(i hate how my randy holden cd sounds.
Wish i could afford the vinyl). Listened to the first cd of a 2-cd dj krush self-remixed best-of thing. I forgot to listen to the instrumental disc though. I might like that. He had some good beats, but i can do without all the blackthoughtmosedefzapmamamrlif stuff. Actually, i don't have anything against zap mama. Those other dudes always know how to bore me to tears though.
―, Tuesday, 29 August 2006 22:42 (twelve years ago). Been listening to the same Tenney things as Milton the last couple days. Man 'Fabric for Che' kicks my ASS! Also, I didn't even realize I had 'Critical Band' on that Relache disc. I bought it years ago (likely before I even knew who he was) for the Thomas Albert 'Devil's Rain' piece (which I still love). Haven't listened to the whole disc in like 8 years but the whole thing is great.

Today was the 1st ive heard it in probably 6 years, and while still powerfully familiar, it played as almost new to me. It has clear weaknesses, but i was still surprised to how many good ideas and interesting things happen while it plays out.and the place/atmosphere it draws up is pretty singular. Then into liars drums not dead, which i have to remember to listen to more often (or not and be occasionally surprised by it again and again) now what to subject the co-workers to.
―, Wednesday, 30 August 2006 12:13 (twelve years ago). This is the only thread I can find on ILM that mentions the Missa Criolla. I found it backed with the Missa Luba in among some old records of my parents and I have to say it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. I put it on and had it playing in the background while I was working and as it progressed it was one of those moments where I had to just stop what I was doing and close my eyes. I think it's some sort of Argentinian mass sung in Spanish, but with these amazing choirs and lots of Latin American folk instrumentation. I've seen it credited to a few different people, Ariel Raminez, Los Fronterizos. Anyway, here's a video although I'm at work and can't vouch for whether it's good quality or not: ―, Friday, 21 February 2014 09:24 (four years ago).
