I'm on the same page as you, Dirk. I haven't been posting much b/c
there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of back and forth. I appreciate
playlists and gig announcements - I know it's hard to keep parties
going and the records flowing in, so it doesn't bother me too much.
Plus, I occasionally get turned on to new artists, have a rough feel
for who's playing what/where but...
I'm on another list where we recently had a "required posting." While
that was a simple "now playing" post, maybe it'd be cool to have
something similar, but with a brief description of *why* it's playing?
so...
NP: Deyampert Shapes & Colors (Sonar Kollektiv) I went and paid $19 at
Amoeba for this one and would pay twice that - it's that good. Not as
broken/ nu jazz-y as I (for whatever reason) expected, but glorious
acoustic soul. Just beautiful songwriting, chords, guitar with some
delicious vocals that aren't some wannabe diva wailing about "taking
you hiiiiigher". Definitely one for the quiet nights at home, or the
sunny spring Sundays going for a drive with your girl/ boy.
by the same token, the new Zero 7 When It Falls (Quango/Palm) is pretty
special. Softly trippy production but the focus is well on the mood and
atmosphere, with solid guest vocals from a variety of singers (Mozez,
Sophie Barker.) I *ahem* never got around to Simple Things but will be
picking up a copy after hearing this.
so...let's hear from some of you lurkers. Particularly those who don't
post anything other than their upcoming gigs! Speaking of which, SF
heads best be down at MikeBee's Safe on Saturday for John Beltran on
the decks - let's show some love.
easy,
Peter
