Music in 2013: LPs (and a few CDs)

The first 10 have been the ones that I came back to on a weekly basis (more or less). The Pelt Part Wild Gate is still fresh, but since I got the digital file in advance with the LP-preorder it’s stuck on my ipod. And number one is really Number One: 2013, year of the Mods.

„Man Of The Year“ – so to speak: Steve Gunn. „Time Off“, „Golden Gunn“, „Cat Mask At Huggie Temple“ and the record I haven’t had the chance to listen to yet: „Melodies For A Savage Kick“……

Favourites 2012
… turned 37 this year, so I picked 37 records for 2012 which I really enjoyed and listened to a lot. Apart from the first three records (Pelt, Swans and Brothers Unconnected) the order is more or less random. And of course: a lot of great stuff is missing!

Vinyl/CDs:
Pelt – Effigy (MIE, 2LP)
Swans – The Seer (Young God, 3LP)
Brothers Unconnected – Unrock The House (Unrock, 2LP)
Mirroring – Foreign Body (Kranky, LP)
Gunn-Truscinski Duo – Ocean Parkway (Three Lobed, LP)
Aaron Dilloway/Jason Lescalleet – Grapes & Snakes (PAN, LP)
Josephine Foster – Blood Rushing…

Sort of a summary, not complete - just a personal list, and of course there's been a lot of other pretty cool records,…

First half of 2011 is over. Time for a small summary. Of course there's much more and a lot of stuff worth mentioning, but nonetheless, here's a bunch of this year's releases that I enjoy:

… disappointment: new Thurston Moore - not really bad, but nothing special at all

… looking forward to the new records from: Matt Valentine and Hertta Lussu Ässä

Live-Gigs:

F.S.K. at Mousonturm, Frankfurt…

There’s so much different records, so much music, so much incompareable stuff… That’s why I decided not to do a Top20 (or whatever) to rank the records. Instead: 3 records categorized loosely to give an insight of what’s been important or interesting to me in 2010. Of course, there's been a lot more,….

Brüder & Schwestern, es ist soweit! Der Gletscher kalbt! Datashock, die „Pyramiden von Gießen“. Endlich. Doppel-LP auf dem fabelhaften Dekorder Label. Was haben wir gewartet, gelacht, gesoffen und wieder gewartet - nun ist es endlich soweit.

Und wenn unsere Lieblings-Lieblinge feat. Ronnie „best dressed Kraut-Jüngling in town“ Oliveras sich in aller der Öffentlichkeit derart hingeben - ja wegschenken! - da soll es auch jeder mitkriegen und eine Lobhudelei in fremder Zunge haben wir uns gleich dazu einfallen lassen.

Brüder & Schwestern, seid' vorgewarnt, angeheizt und noch ein bisschen geduldig, bald ist es soweit!

The following list offers nothing new since Julian Cope presented his „Krautrocksampler“ in 1995. And since the Emeralds and legions of other neo-psychedelic outfits draw heavily on the Berlin School (Froese, Schulze etc,) it's kinda „hip“ to listen to „Kosmische Musik“ but anyway: If you haven't already, check out these:

Homegrown Noises Part II: nach dem Hering & seine sieben Sachen/Baldruin Split-Tape, nun das nächste Release aus der hauseigenen Giftküche.

Katalognummer SICSIC 002! Baldruins Lo-Fi-Nachtwanderungen Seite an Seite mit Neugetres scharfkantigem Noise.

„Ins Tal“, Schattentanz“, „Funkelstein“ – nomen est omen: die eigenartigen Geräuschkulissen, die „der Schebler“ hier in liebevoller Kleinarbeit zusammengeklebt hat, erinnern nicht zuletzt an heidnische Rituale zu Sonnenwendfeiern und anderen unchristlichen Gelegenheiten. Verwunschene kleine Kompositionen, dunkel, verspielt und voller Seltsamkeit.

Wir sind gespannt, was die phantastische Bibliothek des Exil-Franken in langen Unterhosen zukünftig preisgeben wird, „irchndwas“ Fabelhaftes bestimmt. Für den Augenblick genügen die 7 musikalischen…

Di., 4. Mai. – Master Musicians of Bukkake, Bill Horist, Ephemerol

06. Mai 2010 | Von Heiko Weigelt |
Der Hohepriester agiert in Qualm und Nebel

Konzert: Die ,,Master Musicians Of Bukkake" krönen einen Abend mit denkwürdigen Auftritten in der Oetinger Villa

DARMSTADT.


Die Bühne der Oetinger Villa ist am Dienstag so vollgestopft mit Instrumenten und Elektronik, dass nur schwer vorstellbar ist, wie hier später noch die sieben Musiker der ,,Master Musicians Of Bukkake" Platz finden sollen. Doch zunächst nimmt sie nur einer von ihnen in Beschlag: Gitarrist Bill…
