Love - Love Lost
"Arthur Lee's seminal work as leader of the '60s band Love is treasured by discerning rock fans around the world. Lee's status as one of his era's preeminent
musical cult heroes has grown immensely in recent years, leading to generations of new fans rediscovering the artist's remarkable catalog. Unfortunately,
Lee and the band's body of available recordings is relatively small, making Sundazed Music's release of a previously-unheard full-length vintage Arthur
Lee and Love album a major musical event.
Love Lost was recorded in 1971, during a brief, little-known period during which Love was signed to Columbia Records. Lee and the then-current Love lineup–bassist
Frank Fayad, guitarist Craig Tarwater and drummer Don Poncher–recorded an album's worth of new material for the label. But after the band left the company,
the recordings sat unreleased and unheard until now. The material on Love Lost–comprised of the unreleased Columbia sessions, plus five unreleased acoustic
demos from the same period–captures Love in a transitional phase, charting the next step in Lee's idiosyncratic musical trajectory, following the lush
garage-psychedelia of the classics Da Capo and Forever Changes, and the bluesier direction of the hardrocking False Start and Out Here.
Many of the songs included on Love Lost would resurface, often in radically different form, on subsequent Love releases, and on Lee's fabled solo album
Vindicator. But the original versions included on Love Lost, boast a playful looseness that's absent from most of Lee's later work, as well as a raw, edgy
urgency that underlines his credentials as an early progenitor of punk-rock attitude. Love Lost also features three songs–"For a Day," "Trippin' & Slippin'"
and "C.F.I. Instrumental"–that have not previously been released, in any form.
With a treasure trove of vintage Love music that has never before been heard by fans, Love Lost is a major addition to Arthur Lee and Love's body of work,
and its release is a major event for Lee's fervent fan base."
Two tracks in. Rather unimpressed.

Why aren't these guys bigger? This album is fucking great.
Oneohtrix Point Never - Rifts
Couple hours of bubbly, pretty analog synthesizer pieces.

I'm listening to "L.A. Woman" vinyl from The Doors for the first time ever.
I feel like I'm so late to the party. This is kind of AMAZING.

I always use Jan to catch up on stuff I see in a lot of year end lists but have missed
This is great. I am still listening to it and I can't quite pin it down. Metal isn't the right descriptor even though its really heavy in parts but they blend a whole bunch of influences and for some reason a lot of the guitar work reminds me of Thin Lizzy.
Seems good but need more listens.
This was recommended by a boardie. Epic, swirling songs a la Radiohead or a slightly edgier Coldplay.

Just finished this:
C. Spencer Yeh, Paul Flaherty and Greg Kelley - New York Nuts and Boston Baked Beans
Would've been in my top 10 of last year if I'd discovered it earlier. Phenomenal unrelenting grinding free jazz that would make most people want to puncture their eardrums in order to stop the punishment.

Man, I love GBV almost unconditionally, and will continue to buy as many Suitcase boxsets as Pollard puts out. But good lord, some of the songs on these are just pointless.
the video is a little, well, odd but this song EFFING RULEZ!! I've been headbanging away in my office all day!

Tribes of the City's old band name's 1st album (a shoegaze band from Riga, Latvia)
Well worth hunting down, if you are in to that kind of thing. They recently released their discography for free, but i think the links might be down…

Killsaly, you know that you and I are the only ones who have the slightest clue who these guys are, or even care, around here. That's okay. That's what keeps us deeper in the underground. ;) :D I'm just glad that there is another gazing soul around so I don't feel so lost out in the void; otherwise, don't really want a crowd around anyway. If there are any others, I sure wish they would speak (write) up. Maybe Snail and Az but they tend to be lost over in some other vector in space where our paths occasionaly cross.
All in all, good call!
ahhh
the knife

Some young guitar player from Pakistan whom submitted music to me for airplay on Air Atlantic Underground Radio. The guy shows promise but the stand out track that I have up on the station is "(Going Down) Into The Far Reaches Of The Mind" which has a bit of early Verve leanings but a bit more circular. Love that song! Some of the other songs though go off into Prog Rock land while some are more gaze worthy. Will be interesting to hear how he progresses along.

I'm listening to the new Spoon and the new Shearwater.
Both I like, but with reservations.
Spoon's album isn't really as catchy as their last, though it's probably a grower.
Can I like this overwrought album from Shearwater and still make fun of Muse?
Now, hows about some DC tour dates for both?
I also like the new Watson Twins album alot. Much, much better than their first album.

new Swans album coming out (not sure when) - no Jarboe …has members of Cop Shoot Cop, Shearwater, Angles of Light playing on it. One new song on the Swans myspace page. Can't wait for the tour.
