Week two: sonic non-compromise

A vague theme of uncompromising sonic aesthetic has run through my listening this past week, even though the five songs I've chosen to write about on my blog are, on the face of it, rather diverse:
- Nirvana's You Know You're Right - recorded in the band's final session
- Deerhoof's crazy, time-sig-shifting, bipolar lullaby-meets-nightmare Milk Man
- Dresden Dolls' breakneck, triangulating Girl Anachronism
- Thomas Truax's Heath-Robinson-esque mechanical invention
- and Steve Albini's fingernails-on-strings production of Edith Frost's True
Is it just me who thinks these five do still somehow hang together as a group, despite the hotch-potch of genres, decades, genders and styles? Hear 'em all, read my more extended comments and vote for yer fave ... at Heavy Soil. Heck yes.
