While these songs have a built in appeal simply because of the bands that are involved, none of the contributions truly reflect the unique skills of these artists. A wasted opportunity.

Track:Iloge de Gengis Khan
When I got this I didn't realize just how many compilations of world music that French label Buda puts out. That aside this is kind of a hypnotic and trippy album. 19 tracks of Mongolian music. I had put off getting it for a couple of years but I finally did a month ago. I had it on a list. It's very interesting and made me have strange thoughts. The recordings are top notch. That's abou...

I'm kinda proud of the fact that it only took a few extra days away from the ol' grindstone to refresh the fact that the time vortex doesn't rule as imperceptibly as he'd like us to believe. In fact, his mannequin-ruse may be no more meaningful than blunt force trauma or an ambien-haze, which is to say, a cool, fresh breeze and a shady spot are about as contemplative as a mountaintop monastery...

Various ArtistsI’m Not There OSTColumbiaWe set up the drums and amps on the worn carpet in the living room of my parents suburban house, the house I’d lived in for all of my 17 years. It was Spring, 1971 and I was playing an off-brand solid body electric guitar I’d bought at a second hand shop in Mill Valley for $25 with a trebly sound that approximated that of a Fender Strat: Dylan’s weap

Tapes VS CDs
-
Artist:
I miss cassette tapes and I don't.Here's some tape pros:1. You can't decorate CD's like you can a tape. You can't put stickers on it and paint it without the risk of it getting stuck in your player or scraping off.2. With my old mix tapes I like to put on samples of stuff in between tracks like jokes, or parts from movies, quick bits from other songs, spoken word, or whatever I liked. Can't...

Jeff Healy really aquits himself quite well. His talents ...

Track:Wildkatze, Blauer Montag, Holiday Time
This album came out in November of 2006. Boy howdy is it a groovy swinging poptacular romp. It sounds like songs that didn't make the cut for Austin Powers. The songs are collected from various soundtracks and records from Germany during an apparently very groovy time. I had no idea that this kind of music was produced in Germany. Now I've heard lounge work by groups like The Berry Lipman ...

This post is for LadyC. I've been meaning to post about this for quite some time now. I have a small obsession with Asian music from the 60's-80's. Luckily there are a ton of these comps coming out. More than I can afford but I try to get one every once and a while. This album is no slouch and I really want to purchase volume 1 and 3. It's a super groovy compilation of Thai music drenched...
