Heard about Rudresh Mahanthappa's Gamak on NPR. "Saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa's quartet can sound like it's cross-pollinating Indian classical music and vintage Captain Beefheart." Fun stuff here. On MOG.
Just listened to some previews on iTunes. Sounds really cool! I'd buy their stuff just for the cool album art too. I'm going to have to check them out more.

Riverside, Night Session -- it's exactly what it sounds like it is -- it's like they put the new Riverside in a centrifuge, and all the space and improv went onto this disk.

 

On an unrelated note, I wonder when Oh Land is going to put out that Tricky collaboration.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I like that she puts herself out there (ahem)

 

...uh...

 

Where was I going with that?

 

I forget...

 

Something about PR

 

I'll be in my bunk.

 

NP:  "I Wanna Do Bad Things to You" -- not the song, just my voice, saying those words.

The Heavy, The Glorious Dead

 

Organic, groovy, laid-back, bluesy poprock -- the song, "Be Mine" has already convinced me (due to misheard lyrics) that the name of my first album should be, "Get Off My Mind" (such a great pun)

 

I call this universal music, because just about anyone in the universe would like this.

Pieter Nooten, Surround Us -- if you were a synesthete, and wanted to know what melancholia sounded like, it'd be this album.  If you had to make up music that qualified as "Dusty Chalk approved", all ambient and sad but accessible, not completely off the rails experimental, it would be this.
