I really liked the country stuff steel put up this week so heres another album in that vein. I'd say this is more like a country/bluegrass twinged rock given that the music is mostly Mark Knopfler's creation, but Emmylou's vocals and the twangy guitars give it a definite countrylike vibe. Its good stuff, listen for the lyrics if anything, but there isnt a bad song on here so yeah.

Dizzy Gillespie - Jambo Caribe (1964)

http://sharebee.com/a92a6eca

#01 - Fiesta MoJo
#02 - Barbados Carnival
#03 - Jambo
#04 - Trinidad, Hello
#05 - Poor Joe
#06 - And Then She Stopped
#07 - Don't Try to Keep up With the Joneses
#08 - Trinidad, Goodbye

So, today I am putting something up that, chances are, you don't actually have already. This is a rather strange album coming from Dizzy Gillespie, who is known for his bebop and afro-cuban/fusion/whatever moreso than anything else. Jambo Caribe was recorded with a group of dudes from all over the Caribbean and is really more about Caribbean music than it is about Jazz. Playful lyrics and odd instrumentation make for light moments, but there are serious breaks of intense bop as well so yeah theres some cool stuff going on. Checkit.

Jeff Buckley - Grace (1994)

http://sharebee.com/c4db93df

#04 - Lilac Wine
#05 - So Real
#06 - Hallelujah
#07 - Lover, You Should've Come Over
#08 - Corpus Christi Carol
#09 - Eternal Life
#10 - Dream Brother

I'm sure everyone has either heard of Jeff Buckley or heard his cover of Lenoard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' (or Rufus Wainwright's cover of Buckley's arrangement of the song in Shrek) but yeah anyway this album is really awesome. It gets a lot of hype from critics and people who want to sound really cool cause they have this martyred hero of music or whatever blah blah bullshit. I urge you to see past their crap because this album has a lot of interesting stuff going on, due to Buckley's bizarre lyrics and composition style as well as the vocal fusion of east and west (basically Buckley really liked Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (a lot) and his vocal style is a western rendition of the famed Qawwali's voice) regardless.. its good stuff, I promise.

Gerling - Bad Blood!!! (2003)

http://sharebee.com/09ea7186

Gerling: an alt-rock/experimental/electronic band from Australia.

This here is their 3rd album. It's got more guitars than the previous one, but still has the electronic edge. I think it's pretty cool. There are fun, shout-along vocals over all this noisy, danceable guitar music.

TRACKZ:

1. "Blood on the Microphone, Pt. 1" – 4:04
2. "Blood on the Microphone, Pt. 2" – 0:40
3. "Get Activated" – 2:46
4. "In the City" – 4:13
5. "Bad Blood!!!" – 3:52
6. "Wacked Light" – 2:59
7. "Newwave Machine" – 4:25
8. "Smash the Emergency Glass" – 4:29
9. "We Got Venom" – 6:09
10. "Who's Ya Daddy?" – 3:45
    

The highlights are definitely "Blood Part 1", "Get Activated" and "Who's Ya Daddy?". "Get Activated" is for FUCK YEAHs. Listen to "In the City" for the Strokes song that the Strokes never wrote. No really, it's fooled fans before.

I don't know what else to say about this album. Maybe just download it huh?

!!!!!!!!!

forever yours,
JOPE

http://sharebee.com/95264c79

This is a pretty excellent jazz album from the famous Swedish trio. Even though there are only three instruments on the album, piano/bass/drums, and it isn't necessarily swung most of the time, it still covers a wide range of jazz moods and brings some sonic ideas in from other styles of music that you don't normally hear fused with 'cool' piano playing. At times light and fun, melancholic at others, this is definitely an interesting listen.

WC here again bringing you an excellent live album from two musicians widely considered to be Ostads within the Iranian musical tradition (equivilant to the status we give in the west to composers such as Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Wagner, Tchaikovski etc). It is an interesting recording due to the fusion of Armenian and Iranian styles, which while similar are still distinct from each other. Anyhow, Gasparyan’s arrangements of some of his own classics and reworkings of traditional Armenian folk songs allow Alizadeh quite a bit of room for improvisation and the result is, what I feel, a masterwork. Aside from the musical excellence of this performance, the event also is considered a social breakthrough, in which a female singer performed live with an otherwise male roster and appeared before a mixed-sex audience in Teheran so yeah, its pretty historic stuff and its up for a Grammy in 2007 under the category of Traditional World Music. So give it a spin if you're game.

ugh, i don't really feel like typing up a long review for this one (hahaha this blog is horrible), but a little while ago steel uploaded captain beyond's self-titled progressive hard rock debut, which i really enjoyed. after searching around for a while, i found their second album, sufficiently breathless, which is not quite as heavy and a little poppyer (that's not a word this blog is horrible) but still a really good listen. check it out.

Bruce Cockburn - Breakfast in New Orleans, Dinner in Timbuktu (1999)

#06 - The Embers Of Eden
#07 - Blueberry Hill
#08 - Let The Bad Air Out
#09 - Look How Far
#10 - Deep Lake
#11 - Use Me While You Can

This is an excellent album by a Canadian singer-songwriter that I am sure few have heard of and even fewer have heard. He plays kind of in the vein of Mark Knopfler and Van Morrison as opposed to like Tim Buckley/Bob Dylan/James Taylor singer-songwriter. Some of Bruce's albums I'm sure could even be considered progressive by people who use that word, but this album is pretty much just 'Bruce'. It is pretty rockin regardless, and a lot of the songs have really great lyrics. I don't really know what else to say about it other than give it a spin.

This is really good. Galactic went from being a kind of lame jam band to a hiphop group and they are so good at it. Gift of Gab just goes fucking nuts on his song too. I really recommend it!

It also had a really wide release so you might have it but I got a request for it so.

mclusky - The Difference Between Me and You Is That I'm Not on Fire (2004)

http://sharebee.com/136378eb

Since The Blue Testicles is on a break, looks like it's up to the rest of us to upload some things. I now have my own account for this, too. You just trust ol' Jope. Don't worry--I'm a high-level exec.

mclusky was a 3-piece noise/alt band from Wales. They made 3 albums, and were produced by Steve Albini (I know that means a lot to some people). I miss them.

This here is their final studio album. It's solid all the way through and I can't recommend these guys enough. The songs can sometimes get you singing along (or just going FUCK YEAH) while still having all this noise going on underneath. You'll hear some cool shit in this album, OK!

der tracks:

1. "Without MSG I Am Nothing" - 2:57
   
2. "That Man Will Not Hang" - 3:00
3. "She Will Only Bring You Happiness" - 3:27
4. "KKKitchens, What Were You Thinking?" - 1:50
5. "Your Children Are Waiting for You to Die" - 3:54
6. "Icarus Smicarus" - 1:51
7. "Slay!" - 2:54
8. "You Should Be Ashamed, Seamus" - 4:40
9. "Lucky Jim" - 2:02
10. "Forget About Him I'm Mint" - 1:46
11. "1956 and All That" - 2:24
    
12. "Falco vs. the Young Canoeist" - 2:12
13. "Support Systems" - 7:50

This shit is raaaaaaad. And HEY MATTHEW GET THIS NOW.

I hope everyone enjoys it.

thinking of you,
JOPE

I'm taking a big break myself; exams are next week (and the week after) and tomorrow I have three essays due. so its up to the others to upload stuff.

hey, this is chef again. i have gotten my own account so i no longer need to use steel's. so i just uploaded masterless samurai by osamu kitajima and i'm not really sure what to call it. it is sort of like progressive rock or jazz mixed with traditional japanese folk music, and it is really strange. it is definitely not GREAT or anything, but it is worth listening to because it is totally ridiculous and as far as i know there is nothing else like it. i guess i should just call it SAMURAI ROCK because that is definitely what osamu kitajima was going for. anyway, give it a listen because it is kind of interesting.

Baptist Generals - No Silver, No Gold

1. Ay Distress
2. Alcohol (Turn and Fall)
3. 500 League Reunion March (In a Plymouth)
4. Going Back Song
5. Creeper
6. Preservatine
7. On a Wheel
8. Feds on the Highway
9. Diminished
10. Burning
11. St. Christopher's Medal
12. Going Back Song [4-Track Solo]

A deeply strange, personal album, the Baptist Generals' No Silver/No Gold is much more than the sum of its parts. The group plays the kind of spare, threadbare indie rock that flirts with folk and country without committing to either; Chris Flemmons' biting, nasal vocals are the audio equivalent of vinegar, cutting through the band's shambling racket of strummy acoustic guitars, cellos, organs, and bashed drums bringing No Silver/No Gold together as a remarkably fresh and vital album, despite -- or perhaps because of -- its ornery ways.
