They'll be all over the world, so there's a good chance you'll be near a show. This will be their last show in "medium" sized venues. 

My buddy and I's own shit. Live production techno.

In general all things Tinush are good

if you are somewhere between techno and traditional folk instruments (like say Tim Eriksen and a violin or banjo)...you may like this Tinush jam -

Old Man's Banjo

found this little jem, very much in line with Tinush

Wimudo by Balduin

like 20th listen to that jam, and the Balduin Official are cool enough to follow me...i should break out my alto sax and see what I can do over House beats.

Lately haven't been able to stop listening to Blood Orange - especially Chamakay

Nas-illmatic,kool G rap- poison, The roots- the clones, Bahama Dia -Three the hard way,

Big daddy Kane, Grand Pubah, Eric B -juice, steady-b  -serious

mostly old old school east coast classically lyrical hop from the 80's and 90's, my architectural formative years.

Nam good recommendation.

@Olaf  Thanks sir! when i first heard of them i was under impression too Pitchforkymedia for me. Brooklyn/Uber hipster (and maybe so) but def digging it.

@Broadstreet, haven't been listening to a ton of oldschool/or even contemporary rap lately. But did come across RATKING earlier this year. Thought/think they were dope.

still listening to this album a lot

followed by a lot of this

that's my default right now, with this in the car:

http://publicanimal.bandcamp.com/album/habitat-animal
alternating with music my friends make, like:
http://beautifulwildanimals.bandcamp.com/
https://soundcloud.com/beautiful-wild-animals
the band is now called OQO, and their new EP is the most soul-wrenching stuff I've heard since Death's The Sound of Perserverance (different aesthetic, but the effect is very similar)
The band kind of grew out of this one -
http://thetequilamockingbirdorchestra.com/music/, which is finally getting the radio play that it deserves up here in Canada

Well, not sure if I should be embarrassed about this or not, but there is a Detroit band called Cold English that I'm really digging lately. The vocals are hip hop, I guess?  But the guitar is totally funk which is what I love.

More play loud music.

Donna that is so G.Love and the Special Sauce, nice. Surely libert bell has heard of G.Love of philly. .....threadkilla Yesssss the Sword! And hell yeah to anything Zappa.......last night in a dream. Garth Brooks showed up and toke requests, strangest dreams sometimes.

a much needed ohmmm
 

sometimes its good to hit the reset button and relax by making your own stuff.  listening to the same loop over and over is meditation.

Yes, Olaf, I do know of G.Love. The Philly soul music from the 70s is my favorite music of all.

 thanks to Bruce Sterling and Makoto Kawabata (of Acid Mother’s Temple fame) been listening to a lot of chansons / Troubadour music lately;

ie; Music of the Troubadours and Music Of The Trouveres And Troubadours, Vol. 1

Several great new albums were released this week, which I've had on repeat...

Pianos Become the Teeth: Keep You

Restorations: LP3

Lagwagon: Hang (the "Alien 8" name comes from one of their older songs)

The Smith Street Band: Throw Me In The River

Chali 2na

jla-x try some Gumbo Variations by Frank Zappa sometime or Villanova Junction by Jimi Hendrix...if you have nothing to do for the next hour, ha...

Today we are cranking some Little Dragon http://grooveshark.com/#!/album/Ritual+Union/6608985 

found this guy

The Dining Rooms - stefano ghittoni - milano, Italy

and this tune is saweet

Invocation

This a a pretty cool place to find a lot of music.

You can put on a playlist and let it go.

8tracks.com

hmmm.... right now, the playlist includes:

The War on Drugs and Beck's latest releases;

a little Vince Ghiraldi for the season;

just ordered some Joshua Bell (we saw him in person earlier this year);

also re-listening to very late Talk Talk (Spirit of Eden, Laughing Stock, and Mark Hollis' solo record).

Oh, vado. You're the court jester, smarter than everyone else but pretending to be a clown.

I love you, Donna Sink.

I love you too, vado!

(See, this is how Archinect used to be in the old days.  We need that secret admirer match-making guy back again.)

HAHAHA

Mr. reto, I skimmed the heading skipping over some words and read it as "the cia to torture drywall contractors"  because there was an ad below.

I kill myself sometimes.

There are days when torturing drywall contractors seems acceptable. LOL j/k of course.

Integral - Sercosa.

null you do have good taste in music, nice album.

Ilhan Ersahin- Bosphorus

I listen all kinds of music from jazz to underground to punk to heavy metal to ethnic music which I learn about other cultures. Did you know 17th century Ottoman music had a lot to contribute to classical music?

Then there is this.... Closer to home.

I am glad you enjoy it CD.

The cure

Tympanik Audio 

(the whole record label, see Integral /\, posted by Null)

Yup. All of Tympanik is amazing.

Highly suggest Idlefon, Zeller and c.db.sn.

If you like the stuff on Tympanik, I really suggest taking a look at Editions Mego; specifically Klara Lewis. She's all about sample manipulation and field recordings.

Loving a band from the UK called "The Wild Beasts" right now.  Bought all their albums and have them on repeat, them and Vince Guaraldi, Peanuts Christmas music never gets old...

Wild Beasts:  Wild Beasts: NPR Music Field Recordings

Excellent recording of them at the Campbell Apartment, Grand Central Station

I've been listening to a lot of Cat Power recently from morning through the night.

Blonde Redhead, The Smiths, Sabbath, and Bowie are regulars

Not really new but while I'm working I like to listen to classical music. Stuff by people like Philip Glass and Bruce Brubaker.

some CDs i just picked up for my holiday roadtrip;

Apocalypse by Thundercat, Beck's Odelay and Darkness on the Edge of Town by the Boss....

most of the music I listen to these days is in the car en route someplace with the family - mostly Dan Zanes albums... specifically this song on repeat... at least 10 times in a row - with a demand that "everyone sings along." there's a pretty catchy song on that album about solar power.

more fun stuff: 

 thrift shop - (yes - that's actually Sandra Bernhard)... and there's the wonderful love song to coney island on that album (that whole album is excellent)

other favorites - colas from nueva york...
