I am a Frisell freak.

Love Kenny Burrell!

And I am going to add Efterklang (Tripper) to my rotation today - haven't heard it for a while. (One review here for pretty good description... http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/r ... ng_Tripper).

i love Doves! they're an amazing live band...I have to drag that disc out when I get home tonight. Very overlooked in my opinion..

anyone heard the new pharrell disc? Any good? He tends to be hit or miss for me..

The Doves are highly underated.

I used to call them "The poor man's Radiohead".
"Lost Souls" is a classic album.

"One of These Days" on Some Cities hase the most wickkid humping bassline.

Both excellent discs, and the best thing with doves is that they sound better live than on disc.

Enemy that is a good line up!

+2!

Lately:
Deerhoof- Milk Man
Danielson- Ships
Mayo Thompson- Corky's Debt to His Father

Last couple of days:
Lily Allen - album
Turbonegro - Party Animals
Adam Green - one with the yellow cover

On the radio:
103.1, emphasis on Jonesy's Jukebox

Doves and Elbow at the Mayan about 3-4 years ago - awesome.
Doves with STrokes opening at the El Rey 5 years ago - Doves were awesome, Strokes were horrible.
Didn't dig the last Doves album at all tho, much preferred the first one by far!

If you have a music shop with a reliable electronica section you should be able to find these. They are more along the lines of a jazz-electronic fusion,with minimal vocals. For anyone looking for music that is different yet familiar then try these CD's.If you live in San Francisco skip looking at the Virgin MS, they don't know what a real electronica section is , THEY SUCK! Support your local independant music stores !!! Try BOOMKAT on the net, you can even sample , they are the sheeet !
Bola
TRIOSK
Efterklang
Funky Lowlives
Fourtet
Monolake

And the list goes on. If anyone takes the time to listen to my sugestions and is interested in more recomendations just let me know.
SHAPE

I have Efterklang, Fourtet and Monolake, but will explore the others. Thanks!

I was in london last spring, I rented a car and drove some hours to birmingham to see DOVES, and The magic numbers. It was an awesome show!

I dig the new Doves album... can't say there's a partular album I like, but I have my favorites with each album. I've seen them once at the Filmore... great show! When i first saw what the band looked like... they're not exactly what I had in mind though (appearance.. not performance-wise)... nice to hear some Doves love

I haven't heard teh new Pharrel album yet... but that first single he had was pretty crappy IMO. I really like "In Search of..." also

Cool. I saw Magic Numbers at Coachella, and they had a great positive vibe - perfect for outdoors on a sunny day.

Also glad to hear some Doves love.

Settling in to work on a big project today with:

Orbital/The Altogether
Beth Gibbons & Rustin' Man/Out of Season
Alarm Will Sound/Performs Aphex Twin
Miles Davis/The Complete In A Silent Way Sessions
O.Rang/Field and Waves
Adams/Shaker Loops; Light Over Water

shape- heading out to the record store today, will check out some stuff.

I really love the fourtet's DJ Kicks album..

Today's list:

Charles Mingus - New Tijuana Moods (highly recommended)
Tortoise box set
fourtet's DJ Kicks (now that i mentioned it)
Year Future - first world fever
Isis - 03-19-03

tortoise is one of my favorites. One of the best live shows I've ever seen. We went and saw them during a snowstorm because it was within walking distance and there were abut 15 people that showed up. A really excellent night.

Tortoise are playng at the Troubadour in LA next month -I haven't seen em for a few years, and the Troub is my favorite LA venue - maybe I should make the effort to go.

tortoise is amazing live. Generally, i can't stand instrumentally sort of stuff live, but tortoise is an exception. It could be that they're multi-instramentalists and are changing up all the time.

The only strange thing about them is how John McEntire stares when he plays... seems he just picks a person out of the audience and stares at them.

Just watched the dvd from the new box set; totally awesome. If you don't have that set, you ought to go for it. It's super cheap too, like $30.

Playing today -

Slayer - Christ Illusion
Sublime - Sublime 10th Anniversary Edition
Frogs - It's Only Right And Natural, My Daughter The Broad
Down In the Basment (Comp of 78's from the 20's & 30's)
We Got Power (80's Punk/HC comp)
Cobalt - Hammerfight
