[Fictionist]

Giles Peterson's last show from the BBC link. He seems to be very much in the mould of Norman Jay as a DJ, in that you can fairly quickly see what type of music is likely to interest him and what he is likely to play. Then moved on to the Ras Kwame show, which really is different from Peterson's show.

 

[Blagsta]

Coil - The Ape of Naples

 

[stavros]

Carter USM - "Starry Eyed And Bollock Naked"
The Stooges - "Fun House"
Squarepusher - "Hard Normal Daddy"
"Delivery Room, The Leaf Label sampler"
Mum - "Yesterday Was Dramatic - Today Is OK"

 

[Fictionist]

Don't Give Up - Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush

I have the Norman Jay JBDJ disc, I think mine is the re-issue that was released a few years back. I remember people talking about the 'Maneater' remix that was included on there but it didn't do much for me when I listened to it, but I'm a fussy bastard when it comes to remixes anyway. Anyway, now I'm listening to 'Make the Music with Your Mouth Biz'. Despite the fact he now promotes a well known beer I still can't help liking his stuff.

Both good mixes on there, but I always preferred Gilles Peterson's more eclectic of the two. It features that very wonderful What's Wrong With Groovin jazz track too.

 

[Sunspots]

Currently listening to The Avalanches' album.

-Eight years and counting; I don't know whether that level of slackness is still so admirable... It's become the Chinese Democracy of dance.

yeah, there's some great numbers, but it tends a little too much to noodly jazzness. the jay mix is solid from start to finish...

 

[Sunspots]

the jay mix is solid from start to finish...

It is consistent, but it's a bit too consistent for me. A bit smooth for my liking too. I particularly love that Denzil Dumpy Rice honky-tonk piano track towards the end of it though.

yeah, there's some great numbers, but it tends a little too much to noodly jazzness.

In general, I do tend to prefer mixes that are all over the shop; the wildly over-ambitious ones that try to cover a bit too many styles and shouldn't really work, but somehow do.

In the case of this one though, I guess I just like a bit of noodlin' now 'n' again!...

 

[boing!]

The National - Boxer

 

[Y_I_Otter]

Someone mentioned listening to Bird & Diz and it reminded me that I hadn't heard this in a long time:

Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell, Charles Mingus, Max Roach-- The Greatest Jazz Concert Ever: The Massey Hall Concert, 1953

The only time all five of them recorded together. It's rough, technically-- bad edits, mono analog, and my version has bass overdubs that Mingus added years later. But it's still way hot.

 

[Annierak]

Calexico - Garden Ruin

 

[Annierak]

Calexico - The Black Light
