Jim O’Rourke - Peel Session (1999)

Never heard this before.

#jim o'rourke #peel sessions

Aerial M - Aerial M

Going thru a heavy “Slint-Louisville-Pajo-Britt-Post-Instrumental” phase. 20 years later and still a masterpiece.

Mercury Rev - Car Wash Hair

Something good but wrong. Usually, something related to drugs or... Bacon.

My Bloody Valentine - Moon Song

This song is still huge. Before the compilation I remember quite well when a friend-sourced this EP and we listened and listened this track, trying to figure out what the fuck was going on. The whole song is pure 60′s, but the production is something so far ahead that even now that I know one thing or two about techniques, still creeps me.

The whole drama around this record is real and fully documented. From Creation’s point of view, was a hell of a time to be involved with Kevin and we know that when the record was delivered, get rid of him was the best to do. But as listeners, the drama isn’t part of the liner notes, just this mind melting headfuck under his vocals.

This is the best song that Brian Wilson never wrote and possibly Kevin’s peak.

After almost 20 years that I still need to listen at least 5 times to find my feet.

Fuckin hell.

Cath Carroll - Train You’Re On

Such an anomaly on Factory’s catalog. Cath Carroll (she deserves a big article or a chapter in a book for sure) together with Steve Albini/Santiago Durango from Big Black (the later her husband!) plus a Brazilian samba school. A giant what the fuck moment that the more we think, gets weirder. I’ll love to hear about this recording here together with tales about this record costing a fortune and everything else.

David Mancuso - RIP

People talk so much about David Mancuso, usually about The Loft as the greatest party ever or the foundations of NYC clubbing but was way more than that. Hardly people talk about the equality and freedom around The Loft, how David was an orphan and the party was an attempt to gather interesting people around music, meet new minds.

Hardly we’ll see that again. Every single party in the world is doomed with sponsorships, finances over artistry, bad sound and no musical adventure at all. David let the records flow, there was no proper mixer or “I am God” attitude, just pure gathering.

Just sad. Sad as the club culture hits a plateau where nothing cited here matters.

Possibly the best record of this year.

Michael Gordon - Timber (Squarepusher Remix)

The Best thing with the name Squarepusher on it since 2003.

Gallon Drunk - Some Fool’s Mess

Let me say something: this song is dirty. British dirty. For Brazilians, an unlikely minor hit thanks to the insane - and still forward looking - compilation “Another Kind Of Noise” that showcased some of the brit-post-grunge-scene-pre-Suede, and was released here in 1992 I guess. I know little about Gallon Drunk, one the guys plays with Nick Cave right? Not sure why this track appeared on my You Tube feed and now I am checking their hits on Spotify. All good and greasy stuff.

Phill Spector - Rolling Stone Interview 1969

Like when I met Otis Redding the first time. Otis says, "Hey Phil" – man, I loved Otis – we were just gettin' along famously talking, having dinner and he says, "How long you been knowin' Omelet?" I just sort of laughed 'cause he said "Omelet," and I know his name is Ahmet not "Omelet." And I said, "About seven years."

Mogwai - Summer

Tortoise - Gigantes (Mark Ernestus Remix)

Tortoise is coming back to São Paulo. There’s a long story between the band and the city, how much they influenced some bands around here and also helped a whole young generation to listen to some Brazilian artists like Tom Zé.

So hard to pin a track, but this remix by Mark Ernestus also bring up the deep roots of the band and electronic music, either in original form or remixes.

A big bag of wrong - Vol I

This is good.

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/the-rolling-stone-interview-walter-yetnikoff-19881215

Kickass interview with Walter Yetnikoff. He’s an anomaly in my dictionary, even that he turned CBS into a money making machine and got involvement with class artists, for me he is still the wrong side of tracks. I would love to work at CBS around 83-87, please understand. The book that he wrote is bad but still funny.

On the subject of software vs hardware - the main reason why Sony bought CBS - my mind is on Echo, mostly because of my mother. Let me explain: my mother never had a computer, for her was something alien, but at some point 5 years ago she bought an Ipad and afterwards an Iphone and she’s hooked on. The thing is she used to buy records and she quite like music, but there’s no hardware to listen music nowadays. Everything is complicated, if you want to stream spotify on speakers you need to do some sort of instalation and this ain’t easy. But fuckin Echo? Plug, pay and play. I think it’s a revolution. 3.99 USD is a joke, anybody can have it. People will listen music again, in some sort of better setup than speakers of a peanut size.

Apple provided simple solution for the internet, that’s why Facebook is big. Not because of desktop/laptops but phones! Echo will bring music back to the masses.
