Nasty fart-stinky thick fog on the city this morning. I wonder why it's so smelly? Did a hundredweight of rotting cabbage get tipped into the city's sewers... again??...
Last night was a very busy time for acquiring new music - between last week's Amazon hard-copy CD purchases and a slightly abortive attempt to use my iTunes gift card (won at the company xmas bowling party raffle) I've got more new music today than I've had in ages and ages.
Missy Elliott - "Pass the Dutch"
A track from "Supa Dupa Fly", which I already own on a chewed up, ultra-scuffed, unlistenable CD - my favorite track from that album
themselves. - 6 tracks from "The No Music"
Just as difficult and compelling as I figured. Makes me wish I could see them live once more, but alas, they no longer exist. I still want babies with Dose One
James Brown - 6 assorted favorite tracks like "Hot Pants", "Cold Sweat", "Make It Funky", etc.
Just to line to coffers of his undoubtedly tattered estate - get fighting, kids
Scritti Politti - White Bread, Black Beer
The yes yes y'all. Have only heard "The Boom Boom Bap" so far, but am overwhelmed with happiness that I finally own this album by one of my favorite obscure verbophilic soul electronica bands. Green Gartside is a god of smooth sailing voice and tortured semiotics
Sunset Valley - Goldbank 78 Stack
This album came out in 2004. There are two more since that I haven't heard. This is wrong - I worship this band and Herman Jolly in general. The two tracks I heard this morning justify that - "Mr. Extreme Jeans" has Herman getting his Beck falsetto on... and on... and on. F'yeah
King Biscuit Time - No Style
Haven't heard any of this at all. I trust KBT and Steve Mason. Should provide seasoning in my Beta Band-heavy playlist
Cee-Lo - "Suga Baby"
I was gonna buy all of "Cee-Lo Green is the Soul Machine" but then thought of themselves. and decided to buy a bunch of that instead, trying to save the gift card, which ended up not getting used on that purchasing round anyway - yes Apple made $30 from me last night, when they shouldn't have gotten anything, dammit
This, combined with live bootleg Duran Duran, a Joanna Newsome track I got from a blog, some Thermals and Kind of Like Spitting and the Snuggle-Ups and Lifesavas from various PDX POP NOW! compilation CDs, means that I get to skip past "Herculean" now if I want to. Next up on the iPod: Sloan's "Twice Removed", loads of Graham Coxon, and the possible inclusion of Jennifer Hudson's "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going", which I don't think would be that great to listen to on the bus because I always want to sing along...
