Really Kranky...Can I Stop Holding My Goddamn Breath Now?

Holy shit finally Kranky presses Loscil on vinyl. For fuck's sake. They couldn't do it earlier? Oh was Submers not a complete masterpiece worthy of the black satin sex grooves!?! I could have sworn it was. Anyway, here we fucking go at last...

Endless Falls is more Scott Morgan brilliance. As usual.
Buy the wax. It has a bonus track not featured on the cd release and sounds better than those mpfrees you downloaded from Soulseek or some torrent site, you pirating fuck.

123 Is The New 128

Side B of Jens Zimmermann's A/B on Snork is the kind of sprawling, subtle affair that's easy to love these days. It sounds more like an excerpt from a jam than a carefully-structured composition. Free-flowing and smooth with that rolling bassline that's very similar to Villalobos's For Disco Only 2.

I got up at 3pm today and was running late. I ran out the door, throwing on a sweater with no shirt and shoes with no socks. I rushed into my car and my new Ray-Bans had fallen out of the car door in that half-second before it shut. I heard a 'crush' when I backed out of the driveway but didn't have time to stop and see what it was. When I returned I clearly saw my broken sunglasses. Amazing thing, the lens didn't crack, so I put it back in the mangled frame. They look beat up. And maybe I can identify with that and it endears them to me. Like they weren't really mine until I ran over them.

For Some Reason It Isn't Funny When He Wears His Mask In That Slices Interview

I'm surprised that Dog Days is still so affordable. It's a great record and three years old already.
In fact, I'm surprised that most Redshape releases can still be purchased for under USD$15.

Trying To Decide What Is Crucial And What Isn't.

Most of it probably isn't.
You gotta dig deeper to make selecting easier. Some people think digging wastes time, but they don't get it. And I don't expect them to.

Solid Minimal

Takuya Morita's Woman And Shadow is minimal techno that doesn't suck like all those S_nim and Italian releases. Buy it on D i s c o g s right now for two bucks plus the cost of convenient shipping to your home, you lazy fuck.

Dark Horse

Pay more attention to Anders Ilar. He's been modestly releasing great records for nearly a decade; I own at least 8 of them. I love the dark, sometimes acidic, and always delicious sounds from this guy. Speaking of which, his contribution to Radio Recordings Four is my favorite track on that compilation. The bassline is deep and sinister. The tempo is slow and easy. Anyone have a copy of the 2x12" for trade? Need that one.
Looks like Resident Advisor hosted an Ilar mix last year. That's cool. I don't really pay attention to stuff like that. When it comes to taste, I'm an island. Aren't you? In fact, why are you reading this...? Go find your own gems.

Nah, kidding. Share The Love, kids!
