turkish lo-fi sonic-youthy stuff. i love discovering that stuff like this exists, so that on those days where you go "i wonder is there an experimental guitar-noise scene in ankara?" you can say; yes, yes there is.

audrey - http://www.myspace.com/audreyswe

releasing a split single with dave pajo (of slint, papa m and pajo's jukebox fame) in the next couple of weeks. i can't shake the feeling that there's something up here - like a svengali with a plan to make pots o' cash with an all-female bjork-meets-mogwai thing. i hope i'm wrong, cos they've got some good stuff. but very... presentable.

lo-fi anti-folk kind of thing...

have heard little NEW music that has been much cop. the only albums released this year that have blown me away have been by established innovators such as irr. app. (ext) + nww, whitehouse, fovea hex crew, scott walker and current 93.

what i have discovered recently that has really amazed me have been:

mulatu astatke. specifically the "ethiopiques vol 4" release. fucking incredible stuff, i challenge anyone with a modicum of taste not to enjoy this.

aube collaborations with maurizio bianchi. breaktakingly amazing.

the residents. wish i heard them sooner. "third reich and roll" and "eskimo" are two of the greatest albums ever, without doubt.

smegma's "glamour girl". worth it for "defference" alone.

zoviet france's and muslimgauze's mort aux vache albums.

filastine's "judas goat". jajouka meets an incredibly heavy hip hop beat in a cloud of weed smoke.

patrick cowley: "menergy" 12" version. you can almost smell the amyl nitrate.

danny boy + the serious party gods "casto boy" 12" (with thanks to wobbler). hilarious.

the classic power noise of sonar, incapacitants, cccc, and esplendor geometrico.

kazumoto endo's highly entertaining remix of my favourite abba song "gimme gimme gimme (a man after midnight)".

"the history of space age pop" compliations, vol 1 - 3. endlessly amusing. turns any situation into glen quagmire's bedroom.

so far though, my biggest obsession of the year has been the work of duke ellington.

I've been getting into a lot of Stock Aiken and Waterman

story time: you know that drum-roll sound that's used on pretty much all stock aitken and waterman records - the really 80s-sounding 'pow-pow-pow' before the chorus? there's a reason for that being there.

the first music-reactive disco lighting systems became available in the early 80s; i.e. lighting systems that were in sync with the music, so that when the bass drum went 'thud', the lights would flash red, or sparkle, or whatever, at the same time. all the cool nightclubs went out and bought these lighting systems, cos they were so cool and modern.

messrs. stock, aitken and waterman discovered, through careful experimentation, that the tom-roll 'pow' sound was the sound that caused the lights to flash the brightest, so they stuck it into all the songs so that their tracks would appear more shiny and spangly to the average drunken nightclub attendee because their chorus made the lights shine brightest. true story.

Genius.

"i wonder is there an experimental guitar-noise scene in ankara?" you can say; yes, yes there is.

So, is "you dorks" the new thing?

That's ok, I kinda like it.

That's priceless. I'm definitely going to use that in all my new tracks (oh no, wait, I already do).
