I posted this list in a previous blues thread but here it is again.
This is blues performers.  Nothing folk, jug bands, string bands or country.


Elizabeth Cotton (slight piedmont vibe, created her own style of playing, a little folksy, I bow before this woman)

Elizabeth Cotten - Just picked up an orig. edition of her first LP on Folkways, such beautiful music. Just ordered the 3rd album that Folkways recently reissued as well, waiting for my copy to arrive courtesy of Weirdo Recs (who by the way is one of the few online shops I could find that carry a lot of Yazoo LPs).

stone classic. recently reissued on Mississippi, too

Just ordered this from them and it got delivered to my old address (where I haven't lived in over 1 1/2 years), fortunately they are sending a replacement.

I came very late to discovering the joy of listening to compilations of music taken from scratchy old 78s. As a non-American I really didn't know about the wealth of early 20th Century Country, Blues, Folk, etc until I got a job at a record store and one of the clerks introduced me to stuff like the Carter Family, Dock Boggs, a lot of the blues guys whose names start with "Blind", Skip James, Big Bill Broonzy, Robert Johnson, Memphis Minnie, etc..

Anyways, those early Mississippi comps like "Last Kind Words", "Life Is Trouble", "Fight On, Your Time Aint Long" were awesome for a newbie like me. Later discovering the Yazoo label and some of the more recent reissues and compilations by Tompkins Square, Dust-to-Digital, Mississippi (and related labels) continue to be a source of enjoyment and I'm excited about discovering and learning more about music made during the pre-radio/tv days of american music.

Please share some of your favorites! Links to existing reissues and comps would be awesome.

I would like to DJ brunches. I have a pretty diverse record collection and a healthy appetite for french toast, pancakes, eggs, what-have-youse.

I'd probably play a lot of Talking Heads if I had to, white people seem to really like Talking Heads.

New Releases:

VINYL:

THE TOBACCONISTS A Secret Place LP
The Tobacconists are Scott Foust (Idea Fire Company) and Frans de Waard (Kapotte Muziek/Beequeen). "A Secret Place" is a sound collage of fractured synths, industrial thumps, sampled distant voices and eerie atmospherics. Foust and De Waard are self-proclaimed Dome enthusiasts and "A Secret Place" feels like a reverential yet wholly original nod to Bruce Gilbert and Graham Lewis's post-Wire works. Printed in an edition of 300 on translucent green vinyl as a split release with A Giant Fern (Portugal). Only 150 copies for the U.S.

UNICORN Playing With Light LP
Issued a decade ago as a CD on Housepig, Unicorn's beautiful and sinister album "Playing With Light" is re-introduced to listeners as a rearranged and remastered LP. Unicorn is WT Nelson, known previously as party to 90s avant-hardcore outfit Man is the Bastard and its spawn, the prolific Bastard Noise. "Playing With Light" features three tracks originally prepared to accompany short films by Stephanie Miller, and, interspersed with standalone compositions, works cohesively to limn a world where the alien oscilloscapes of Bastard Noise merge with earthy synths and electric mandocello. The album opens with a transfixing music box motif that wouldn't be out of place ushering in the opening credits of a vintage thriller. In "Spots," the 10-minute centerpiece track, a mostly unaccompanied synth melody uses syncopation to create the impression of stumbling through darkness. "Clay & Fire" threatens to burst into full-bore power electronics territory but doesn't; the narration we hear is not a transgressive confession but instead a factory worker's discovery of pottery as a respite from his labor. From there the record offers an electronic crescendo before resolving in the almost-comforting "Far Away; Close To You," which trails off in Morse code blips clearly transmitted but only possibly received. "Playing With Light" is unique in Nelson's discography and is entirely deserving of this vinyl reincarnation. "Rhodes, Electric Mandocello, Various Trogotronic Electronic / Electro Acoustics Prototypes & Field Recordings."
Mastered by Timothy Stollenwerk and presented in an edition of 250 copies with download code.

TAPES

SINDRE BJERGA Future Jazz Loops C-60
 "?cassette player drones and kitchen sink psychedelia, sound ghosts hidden deep in the molten magnetic tapes.. always aiming for that mind-altering head trip?" Multifaceted Norwegian veteran of the international DIY experimental/noise circuit, Sindre Bjerga, has been performing and releasing music since the 90's under his own name and with a series of projects and collaborations.
On this, his debut for Fabrica Records, he presents us with three live performances from 2013. Pro-dubbed edition of 50 audio cassettes.

KILT She's Got The Evil In Her Ear C-60
KILT are Bob Bellerue, Raven Chacon and Sandor Finta exploring and excavating sounds that could only rise from within the darkest crevices of the human spirit. The sound of metal being scraped across the factory floor. Distortion seeping from a broken speaker. A jukebox playing in a loop inside a jet engine. Death ritual ceremonial music. She's Got The Evil In Her Ear consists of nearly 60 minutes of recordings culled from two different live performances by this mighty noise power trio. Pro-dubbed edition of 50 audio cassettes.

PARASHI Tovarich C-30
Albany, NY's Parashi is Mike Griffin, of Skell Records, long-running solo noise project."Tovarich" is a fine addition to his ever growing catalog of noise activism geared towards the creation of a "new human" by hammering away at the shackles of petit-bourgeois values and capitalism.Electronic bleeps and blasts, industrial loops, warped synths, ravaged tape loops, are all part of this brainwashing soundtrack made to tell the dried up corpse of Ronald Reagan to f*ck off because "that WALL is going back up motherf*cker!" Mike also regularly collaborates with his fellow comrades in Burnt Hills, Urkas, and Mensheviks. Pro-dubbed edition of 50 audio cassettes.

LUCIERNAGA/LA MANCHA DEL PECADO Split C-30
Brooklyn's (via Chile) Luciernaga and Ciudad Juarez, Mexico's La Mancha del Pecado join forces again after their last, and very limited edition. split tape from 2010. Luciernaga is Joao Da Silva, half-owner of Fabrica Records and La Mancha is Miguel Perez who also has hands in Agorafobia Tapes, and musical projects ZN, Colectivo N, Skull Mask, and Wehrmacht Lombardo. On this new offering, each project contributes a side-long brooding industrial-tinged drone. The sounds echo the early days of pre-dance-beats industrial music, therefore, the packaging is a tribute to one of the pioneering acts and first record labels of this genre. Pro-dubbed edition of 50 audio cassettes packaged in a 5" x 5" reel-to-reel box.

Music Shit / Re: who likes black metal?
« on: October 10, 2014, 07:25:48 AM »
In no particular order, the BM bands I listen to most frequently

Mayhem
Darkthrone
MGLA
Immortal
Cultes Des Ghoules
Marduk
Blut Aus Nord
Wrathprayer
Deathspell Omega
Paysage D'Hiver
Inquisition
Drudkh
Rattenf?nger

Don't find much appealing or new about most american BM, but I think I appreciate Wolves in The Throne Room for their music and because of how hated they are by "try hards" for their attempt at being more of a "left-wing/environmentalist" band, even if they themselves may not be that great at backing that up (playing corporate sponsored fests for example). Fact is their demo and first two albums are amazing Burzum-influenced BM.

Non-Music Shit / RIP Letha Rodman Melchior
« on: September 24, 2014, 08:52:59 PM »
Stunned, sad, heartbroken. Dan Melchior posted on his Facebook that Letha passed away on 9/24 at around 9:05 pm.
I never got to meet her in person, only over e-mail and through her music. She will be missed.

Non-Music Shit / Re: Horror Movie Franchises

Seen every Romero zombie movie up til Land Of The Dead (which was okay although not a great film). Should I bother with the later ones?

I like Diary of the Dead actually. It 's not a continuation of Day of the Dead or Land of The Dead, more like an attempt to re-start the appearance of the "living dead" outbreak,  Island, which was the follow-up and includes some of the same characters was a giant waste of time.

My favorite Halloween is the one with Paul Rudd as a closeted dude with PTSD and where try to further ruin the franchise by introducing the idea that Michael Myers is the result of some kid of druid cult.

There are the obvious posts about new releases that are from labels or the artists themselves, but how often are posts like "what are people thoughts on __(insert new-ish band name)___?" made by paid professionals in the hype business?
