amoebic again
Last week I went to Amoeba Records again and picked up a rather edgy set of CD’s … it’s all pretty dark stuff.
Black Flag - Damaged (an old favorite — recently covered on an amazing record by the Dirty Projectors)
Portishead - Third (creeeeepy and cooooooool)
Justice - Cross (”as seen on MTv,” appparently. Nat Stookey and I got excited about this at the listening station. It’s fun dance music, and Nat is researching such music for his new piece of musical erotica, Zipperz, coming soon to an orchestra near you.)
Sparks - Lil’ Beethoven (a minimalist masterpiece)
Motörhead - Ace of Spades (cause I’ve never heard it)
BONUS: Michael Tilson Thomas gave me a recording of Schubert by Javier Perianes which is beautiful and haunting. I’d never heard of this pianist before but I’d like to hear more … it’s from another world which is how I like my Schubert.
