"Your Protector" by Fleet Foxes from S/T
I owe Winter Chim a thanks for making me listen to a new band for once. Usually that backfires, but this one really grabbed me. This record has a great mood, especially this song.

"Where Teardrops Fall" by Bob Dylan from Oh Mercy
This track is from the first Bob Dylan and Daniel Lanois collaboration. Ive been getting into later era Dylan stuff, but this style was brand new for him- even different form other 80s stuff. I don't think people were very into it at the time, but I think this record is pretty cool. Of course the two collaborators perfected their sound on "Time out of Mind." Don't mind the feel-free sounds of the sax which fit right into the era. Its like Bruce Springsteen laid a mandate on the music world that no song would be allowed to be released unless it featured some form of saxualization.

"all" by John Cale from Paris 1919
I love alphabetical mash ups. This record came on alphabetically after a mellow morning jam of Joe Zawanul's self titled masterpiece. Surprisingly it goes well. I forgot about this record. It is really an out of nowhere gem, kind of british folk inspired. Lovely songs.

"More Than This" by Roxy Music from Avalon
Chiming late style this evening. I just came across this gem of a video. I love how Brian Ferry feels free to stroke his ego so shamelessly over the top. Watching himself alone on the big screen in the movie theater. I guess thats what happens when you afford the coke these guys could get. Oh- also- could this ever be cool now? I want to go back to times when middle aged men ruled the pop charts with faggy art rock..

"all" by Augie Meyers from You Aint Rollin' Your Roll Right
I was so pleased to find this rare record the other day- its Texas Troubadour Augie Meyer's second solo record form '72. Such the best beats and struts on this record. Crazy guitar, steel, and of course Vox organ on this. I will have to rip it to put up a track at some point. Coudln't even find a picture of the cover online, but he looks good on it with a weird pink suit and little kitty next to him.

"all" by Talk Talk from Laughing Stock
I revisited this album last night for the first time in a long time. Every single sound contained in this record is evocative, drawing you in, and shrouded in blissful haze. This record makes me want to pin down any fool who thinks Radiohead is the most important band ever and force them to listen. Not that Radiohead arent doing something interesting, but you definitely heard it here first. Just compare the reverb treatment on In Rainbows (which everybody is so freaking out about) and realize that this record was doing it cooler and better.

"all" by Harold Budd from The Pavillion of Dreams
I had no idea this was Harold's first record when I recently picked it up at a local shop.. I also had no idea how great it would be. The music on this record sounds like a a scene in Hitchcock's Vertigo, the one where James stewart dreamily follows the mysterious woman though her ghostly past in and out of magical places of the past in San Francisco. One of the most haunting scenes in cinema- this record sounds like if one could preserve the haunting feeling evoked by this imagery and loop it. Dont mind that Gavin Bryars plays the glockenspiel on this record too.

"Sweet Old World" by Emmylou Harris from Wrecking Ball
Tapping into clunk's Lanois phase a bit.. This record had been on my radar for a long time. I've had periods of time when I didnt like it. I have periods of time when I absolutely love it. You have to like Lanois to love it. He's got his fingers deep in every crevice of this record. I have to give him credit though, through Wrecking Ball, Time out of Mind, etc.. Hes got a way to capture some amazing performances. Emmylou shines brightly on this one.
