2015 AOTW

Anonymous · 2015-02-20T11:10:22-05:00

The more I delve into Taoism the more it becomes apparent that I need to change the way I personally listen to & consume records. Consuming all that information is just not healthy for optimal chi flow. That incessant craving for more MORE MORE now NOW NOW even when it's in the spirit of fun. As someone who's trying to optimize his lifestyle in order to promote healing, I've been aware of this for months. And, it's crazy because I pride myself on having crazy amounts of will power. Just two months ago, I radically changed my diet - completely & totally cutting out ALL GRAINS, DAIRY, and SOY along with eliminating all processed foods. And, it wasn't hard for me to do this. Like at all. I took it as a challenge and have really enjoyed exploring new foods like organ meats & seaweed. Sure I grow nostalgic for Denny's & taco shops & pizza & other various diners & dives, but whatever. I can do it. Yet, I can't stop gobbling up records. WTF. I need help. I'm a music addict. And "addict" is the appropriate word since I have a strong feeling that it may be impeding me (even if just a little bit) from my goals in life. Namely better health & kicking a disease's ASS. So, to rectify this lack of will power, I'm outing myself to at least this little musical community that I have grown so fond of over the last year. For now on, I'm limiting myself to only two new albums per week. One from 2015 and one from the past. At the end of the year, I'll still have listened to 52 albums from 2015 which ain't bad. Better than taking the chance that my habit may be impeding my recovery and not even making it to the end of the year. So, without further adieu, here's my first 2015 album of the week. Ten Love Songs by Susanne Sundfør Feel free to post your own Any album that you want to explore in every detail. Become totally immersed in & live it. I used to do this all the time when albums were not as readily available as they are today, and it can be a lot of fun. Getting all passionate and hyped up about one album to sort of live with for that week. Doing the research. Figuring out what you really, really want. And then living with the result. Sometimes hating it at first. Kicking yourself for choosing such a crummy record. And then all of sudden realizing that you're in love and that you're just a complete idiot who knows nothing. Peace!

🤣 I can't even remember posting that. Think I'd had a few drinks. Think I was just shocked he had another project out so quick and that it was with them. Was looking forward t hearing it and after i have id say it is really good. Will be getting a few plays.

Been deep deep into 1978 with the occasional departure into the present.

Breakfast by Teleman

Didn't realize that Pete & the Pirates had broken up and formed this band. Pete & The Pirates made pretty perfect infectious indie pop. Teleman seems to begin right where they left off, adding in a bit of extra synths for good measure.

HISTORICAL:

Visions Of The Country by Robbie Basho

I've been long familiar with Basho's 60s output, but never gave this from 9178 one a fair spin. Holy god. It's Fahey meets Devendra by way of the old man in the mountains.

VAULTS:

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello

Armed Forces was always my favorite Costello lp, but a recent set of spins of This Year's Model has possibly changed my mind. Happy to say I have this on vinyl too.

Historical AOTW:

The Sump - Cheek By Jowl (1992)

https://thesump.bandcamp.com/album/cheek-by-jowl

Benjamin Construct = #20 for 2015 - not as good as previous releases but still some solid ambient soundscapes here.

The Sump = #8 for 1992 - my favourite new old band (along with The He Dark Age). Their best release
