August 10, 2004 at 7:31:00 PM CEST [music, links] August 10, 2004 at 7:31:00 PM CEST The Morning News - Roundtable: Mp3 Bloggers with the guys behind Mystical Beast, Largehearted Boy, Said the Gramophone and Tofu Hut amongst others. link (no comments) ... comment [music, albums] August 10, 2004 at 7:08:00 PM CEST Ambient 2 The three Eno CDs arrived today and I have started to listen to the first one. In terms of chronology I mean. It is 1980's The Plateaux of Mirror which is a collaboration between Harold Budd and Brian Eno. I really enjoy it. I love the slowly flowing piano (Budd, I suppose). It is not ambient in the way Music for Airports was ambient. It is less wallpaper, more impressionist, more introspective, more essential. Painting a canvas with sounds. Tranquil but moving forward with a strong drive. Someone (Eno?) is humming in a song and there is a feeling of heaven, of lightness, of floating. I have to listen to this for another ten times tonight. At least. Why didn't I know this before? link (no comments) ... comment August 8, 2004 at 10:36:00 PM CEST [music, albums] August 8, 2004 at 10:36:00 PM CEST Björk - Medulla I have never been a fan of Björk. Neither her girlish voice nor her dancy music never did anything for me (actually Icelandic music in general has left me extremely cold). But listening to these three songs from her forthcoming album may well have changed my mind. Medulla is basically an a cappella album and not too far from Meredith Monk's voice experiments. Even the slightly annoying heavy breathing in two of those songs cannot destroy the charm of them. There seems to be less of her usual opera singer attitude here. And more of a genuine play with her voice. Making an album only with a human voice is a bold venture and admirable just for that. I am slightly intrigued now. link (4 comments) ... comment [music, links] August 8, 2004 at 8:48:00 PM CEST Today's download Dirty Duck singing The Gift plus five other weird VU covers from the 2nd album: Ego Phizmiz & his Orchestra - White Light White Heat (via Ligne Claire). link (no comments) ... comment [music, news] August 8, 2004 at 8:39:00 PM CEST It was about time... Miami, Death Party and Las Vegas Story will be re-released in October on Sympathy for the Record Industry. link (2 comments) ... comment August 7, 2004 at 9:03:00 PM CEST [music, lists] August 7, 2004 at 9:03:00 PM CEST Music shopping craziness I just ordered (delivery time):
Two reasons for this: firstly I have fallen deeply in love with Brian Eno again and additionally the German Amazon offers lots of CDs (among others 500 "classic" indie albums) for 7 euros. How could I resist? I am just a feeble human, you know. link (3 comments) ... comment [philosophy] August 7, 2004 at 6:45:00 PM CEST Rainer Langhans im taz-Gespräch "Trau keinem unter dreißig": Meine Mutter war jemand, der, wie man das so nennt, dement war. Ich habe mich sehr bemüht, entgegen der Meinung der Pfleger, Ärzte und Geschwister, es anders zu sehen. Sie ist jemand gewesen, der einen sehr scharfen Verstand hatte und sehr rational war. Und dann geriet sie zu ihrer großen Verblüffung einfach in Zustände, die sie zwangen, ihren Verstand runterzufahren, diesen quälenden Verstand, der zugleich die Fragen, mit denen sie jetzt, angesichts ihres schwindenden Körpers, konfrontiert war, nicht lösen konnte. Ist es wirklich wichtig, welcher Tag heute ist, wenn man sich mit seinem schwindenden Körper beschäftigen muss? Ich glaube, nicht. Und trotzdem wird es als Unzurechnungsfähigkeit oder als Kennzeichen von Demenz betrachtet, wenn jemand stottert oder nicht mal mehr den eigenen Namen weiß. In meinen Augen ist das keine Demenz. Die Leute sagen, die Alte ist eben schon nicht mehr ganz bei Trost. Ich würde sagen, sie beschäftigte sich mit anderen Dingen. Warum haben wir für diese Dinge absolut keine Achtung? Ich nehme mir diese Muße heute schon. Ich sterbe lieber freiwillig, bevor ich sterben muss. Ich finde, dass man mit Meditation Erfahrungen machen kann, die einen Altern und Sterben mit anderen Augen sehen lassen.

It all sounds extremely exciting. link (no comments) ... comment [music, artists] August 4, 2004 at 11:20:00 PM CEST Where to start with Giant Sand? Agony Shorthand recommends Glum as a starting point for Giant Sand in a good summary of the output of Howe Gelb & friends. A good choice but I think Chore of Enchantment is a better primer as it is more tuneful and easier to get into. link (no comments) ... comment [literature] August 4, 2004 at 10:34:00 PM CEST Rereading list A couple of books I want to read again:
Just tell me a number bigger than ten in the comments so that I can start rereading the first book, will you? link (no comments) ... comment ... Next page
