[Unicron]

score! 20 years of merge records: the covers

non-merge acts covering their back catalogue. some good tunes

Really like the La Savy Fav and National/St. Vincent tunes.

Times New Viking one is shockingly bad.

 

[old]

cryptacize - dude from deerhoof / the curtains, first album wasn't up to much, new one is brillo.

The myspace stuff sounds lovely. Tanks!
Also: currently liking http://www.myspace.com/animalhospital

 

[Sugar Water]

Been listening to www.myspace.com/corridors quite a bit recently. Really nice drone stuff. Think he's got some connection to that band Mountains.

I like some of this dude's tracks: www.myspace.com/astronautalis but ain't heard a full album or nowt. 'Meet Me Here Later' is good.

And www.myspace.com/mariageblanc have potential alright

www.myspace.com/jamesyuill and www.myspace.com/littlebootsmusic are probably familiar names & will be getting a lot of press this year, some good stuff. I like it when Yuill goes electronica-y rather than singer-songwritery.

oh and I recently discovered these dudes used to play on street corners in Chicago when I was there on a J1, they're awesome. http://www.myspace.com/hypnoticbusiness
They played here twice last year.

The Fever Ray record is great too.

I've listened to this non-stop since yesterday afternoon, best thing I've heard all year.

[Denny Oubidoux]

I'm not keen on Ultrahits at all. He has so many albums that its a bit of a lucky dip in terms of getting something good. My favorites are River Through Howling Sky, Airs of the Ear, New Angloid Sound. I forget what else now. His discography is fairly ridiculous

• Psychiatric Underground - by Ceramic Hobs - the track Meeting The Summertime has the credit "score by Richard Youngs" - he provided an 11 note handwritten score for the keyboard part, which spells out "ceramichobs" if you move the musical notation up the alphabet. Neil Campbell is one of 4 people credited as having provided tapes for the same track. (Pumf/Mental Guru CD, c. 1999)
• Richard has also published a recipe book. Cook Vegan (Ashgrove Press) was printed in 1996 and reprinted in 2001, receiving favourable reviews.

I haven't heard most of them. I heard a few of the andrew paine collaborations and liked them. Same with the Simon Wickham Smith and Alex Neilson ones. Atlas of Hearts from earlier this year was very good. I have high hopes for the forth-coming jagjaguar one.[/QUOTE]
