D'Angelo And The Vanguard - Black Messiah (RCA, 2015) It's hard to believe this dropped over a decade ago, almost as long as the preceeding 15-yr gap since Voodoo. I wonder if/when a new D record will materialize. He takes his time, but worth the wait […] [Original post on shakedown.social]

if you're into boundless music discovery, I highly recommend following @thetonearm , which today turned me on to the diverse sounds of Punjabi Disco and the new ambient record by M. Sage I appreciate their presence on mastodon, unlike other music journals I struggle to keep up with in this […]

chasing yesterday's flu + covid vaccines with a dose of acetaminophen for good measure and to stick it to the antiscience men

Isotope 217 - The Unstable Molecule (Thrill Jockey, 1997) ft. members of Tortoise (Jeff Parker, John Herndon, Dan Bitney) and Chicago Underground Orchestra (Rob Mazurek, JP). I just learned the name references sci-fi film Forbidden Planet. Seems about right […] [Original post on shakedown.social]

that tweezer rocked pretty hard #phish

masto (shakedown, heads) to bsky migration most apparent during #phish shows, when a handful of bridged accounts are most active in my timeline. this MFMF though

Hermeto Pascoal - Hermeto (Cobblestone, 1970; Far Out reissue) The Sorcerer has transcended #nowPlaying #Jazz #mpb #vinyl #bekrecords @vinylrecords

Tim Maia - Nobody Can Live Forever (The Existential Soul Of Tim Maia) (Luaka Bop, 2012) ICYMI the @vinylrecords group migrated to a new server and Tim Maia was one badass Brazilian soul singer https://www.luakabop.com/artists/tim-maia #nowPlaying #psychedelic #soul #vinyl #bekrecords

my daughter improved her time by 90 seconds between her 1st and 2nd middle school XC meets yesterday plus the DJ played De La and Tribe! All in all, a good outing.

CELESTINE UKWU and his philosophers national - NO CONDITION IS PERMANENT In honor of the relaunch of the @vinylrecords group on Fedigroups, I did some trades at the neighborhood shop #vinyl #vinylCollection #vinylRecords #RecordStore #afropop #highlife #AfricanMusic […] [Original post on c.im]

on this week’s "blues for allah" #GratefulDead cast, rich & i attempt to untie “slipknot!” & pin down the grateful dead’s harmonic & personal ambiguity in early 1975. were they even a band anymore or a “more or less permanent musical association” as jerry garcia […] [Original post on heads.social]

A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory (Jive, 1991; reissue) Not only my favorite rap record of all time, it planted the seeds of jazz in my 10-year-old brain, later germinating into a whole damn forest #nowPlaying #hiphop #Jazz #vinyl #bekrecords @vinylrecords

The Philadelphia Experiment - 12" Promo (Ropeadope, 2001) Uri Caine • Ahmir Questlove Thompson • Christian McBride w/ Pat Martino. A groovy jawn. Wish it was the LP but I have it on CD. #nowPlaying #Jazz #hiphop #vinyl #bekrecords @vinylrecords

just finished a record, glued to the couch taking advantage of auto-stop and Nugs app on Roku. Might flip around before Billy Strings - JRAD, Donato, Bisco?

Neil Young - On The Beach (Reprise, 2015 resissue, originally 1974) BTW if you haven't heard the All One Song Neil Young podcast by Tyler Wilcox and AD, it's pretty great. Steve Shelley's pick was Vampire Blues. #nowPlaying #rock #vinyl #bekrecords @vinylrecords

ambient Steve Gunn? yes please new record dropped today https://stevegunn.bandcamp.com/album/music-for-writers

I was *just* too young to see Jerry in life but Phish's 8/9/98 Terrapin Station encore still gives me goosebumps. The collective effervescence was palpable, perhaps more so than any other musical experience I've had.

This Trey quote from last year's Rolling Stone article resurfaced amid press coverage of the Dead & Co thing, and the subreddit melts are hilarious. Trey & Jorma aren't wrong btw, no shade. The JBs were slighted in the ensuing discussion though. D&C stans […] [Original post on shakedown.social]

big night for bluegrass on nugs, from Del to Billy

Today is Louis Armstrong's birthday! Check out my birthday tribute to Pops from the WFMU archives and start your week with a smile! https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/154720 #louisarmstrong #satchmo #popsistops #wfmu

Back in the mid-90s I heard a version of Morning Dew that has stuck with me; the person with the tape wouldn't let me copy it, so I heard it, had my face melted, and have been chasing it ever since. Found it! Chills given, cheesy grin made, face melted again. #GratefulDead Roosevelt Stadium 8/1/73

following a 2 year gap b/t Phish shows, I'm grateful to have lucked into a SPAC bonus show last night just 2 weeks after Charleston, coinciding with a family vacation. The jams were nasty (especially Mike's, MFMF, Oblivion>LSG), making up for a few downers (i.e., wading in the H2 spot). Give me […]

Nectar's is closed (for summer) so Dobb's Dead at Einstein's in Burlington. This drummer Cotter is pretty good, I hear he plays in another band.

I got the green light for #phish Sat night at SPAC! (it just so happens we'll be visiting family in Albany next weekend - a coincidence I promise;) I'll probably end up grabbing a lawn ticket on CoT but if anyone has an extra pav seat, please hit me up, thanks! 3 decades into following this […]

Dadawah - Peace And Love - Wadadasow (Wild Flower reissue, first released 1974) I'm pretty sure Aquarium Drunkard (g birchenall) drew my attention to this record with the hook: "That this sublime slice of life-affirming music is considered reggae is […] [Original post on shakedown.social]

Misha Panfilov Sound Combo - Days As Echoes (Funk Night, 2020) liner notes sum it up well: "the vibe on this sophomore release channels krautrock philosophy and library music, peppered with elements of jazz, Ethiopian, cinema, ambient, and bits of […] [Original post on shakedown.social]

A wonderful #phish show last night, just what I needed. Solid appetizer of a first set, followed by set 2 of bangers, nothing too far out but repeatedly dove straight into economical type-1.5ish jams. Spectacular view of Page & Fish from the back corner of the stage too.

I got bit by my friend's bulldog upon arrival in Charleston today so I'm calling Harpua, or will it be Access Me? #phish

got serious #phish FOMO since I originally planned to be in Chucktown all weekend but had to bail on tonight's show for family reasons. Checking the setlist hoping they save the best for Sat-Sun when I'm there. At least they're not crippled by no repeats like the infamous 2019 run.

The theme for this week’s #thursdayfivelist is #streamsofdreams — five songs with anything to do with dreams or dreaming Moon Dreams - Miles Davis https://song.link/s/3GRRmV65lSUxQ82GHyVAZO Monk's Dream - Thelonious Monk https://song.link/s/0488kXJ1YnLMrrM1ssJnev Blues Dream - Bill Frisell […]

an underrated perk of the streaming/bluetooth/wifi age is how easy it is to listen to music throughout the house (and everywhere else) domestic activities most enhanced by music, or in some cases podcasts: 1. washing dishes 2. yard work (enabled by quiet electric tools) 3. cooking 4. taking a […]

at first I was not a fan of whipped cream cheese (too light & airy) but after years of my wife buying whipped, I now have a hard time spreading the thicc stuff on a bagel

Willie Nelson - Red Headed Stranger (Columbia, 1975) #nowPlaying #country #vinyl #bekrecords @vinylrecords

Quantic & His Combo Bárbaro - Tradition In Transition (Tru Thoughts, 2009) from what I gather, in 2007, English musician/DJ/producer Quantic moved to Cali, Colombia, embedding himself with Latin musicians (plus Malcolm Catto of The Heliocentrics) to create […] [Original post on shakedown.social]

Mike Gordon’s Quest to Understand the Science Behind the 'Flow State' You know that feeling you get when you’re really in the zone? The Phish bassist is creating a tool to capture that https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/mike-gordon-xenbox-flow-state-1235369834/ #phish #gratefuldead

I just listened blind to last night's phish show and that was a helluva second set #phish

#recommNeds 2025.96 Mei Semones: Animaru Bio says "jazz influenced indie" and given 3 words, sure, that accurately describes Semones. But that might also sell it short. If there's a sonic dimension that has an overlap of Andrew Bird + Deerhoof, you might […] [Original post on shakedown.social]

new Tortoise single and remixes* are cool but I'm really looking forward to the new album *not by usual suspects, including Broken Social Scene - now listening back to You Forgot It In People and the connection makes sense - one of my forgotten favorite indie records @mangrovevalley […]
