Marshall Allen, from the Sun Ra Arkestra. You’ll recognize his style. Pretty great stuff.

This is some pretty cool old live footage of ESG. The dancing kiddo is quite good. This video was posted with a couple other videos here. This quote from that post cracked me up:
I only saw them live once, myself — in 1990 or so at a weird hippie warehouse space in Manhattan called Wetlands.
I worked at Wetlands in the mid-1990s so know it pretty well. Mainly though, “weird hippie warehouse space” is a fairly accurate description.
I’m a wimp about the cold. But I suppose, if you’re band is called Rural Alberta Advantage, you should be expected to play outside at the north pole. Or at least in a cold park in Germany.
Now this is just plain cool (via Bronx Banter). Full Talking Heads concert from 1980.
Thurston Moore has a new album coming out with John Moloney. I like the percussion emphasis and the slow heavy thing here. It’s a bit of a shift from a lot of what Thurston has done of late. I really, really like it.
It’s not a shocker that I love something from Phil Elverum and his band Mount Eerie. I kind of love everything. But this is upper echelon stuff. And the video is so Mount Eerie. From the upcoming LP.
I really enjoy this new song from Waxahatchee. Reminds me a bit of Mary Timony solo stuff in the verse.
Good morning. There is this here rumor that the Silver Jews are practicing again.
So here is some Silver Jews.
Something to freshen your Friday. It’s new, light, hoppy, and flourescent. Musically speaking.
This will be my last song post of 2014. Once things settle down, I will get rolling with new posts on a daily basis. Don’t expect that for a couple of weeks though. For now, my last song of 2014, will be “Last Song” by Silian Rail. An awesome experimental duo. Happy New Year everyone!
