Naked City - Naked City

For Zorn admirers this is an inevitable part of a large and varied career, but for those who don't know who Zorn is, it will be an excursion into something that they could not even imagine :) This powerful blend of rock, jazz, metal and noise, linked with violent strikes of Zorn's saxophone, as well with fantastic assembled team of New York musicians (Fred Frith, Bill Frisell, Wayne Horvitz, Yamatsuka Eye), makes that music here resists all borders and genre limitations and give to us something completely unique.
Just the way I like :)

Jim White - Drill a Hole in That Substrate and Tell Me What You See

A strange beast is this Jim White. Starting to make music in the forties, already formed as an author, with a vision of merging traditional and modern, he gave to us a few great, emotionally high and very advanced recorded country - rock albums. Old and new, on Jim White records are connected in one, while the quality of the melody and lyrics always heating up our senses, guaranteeing satisfaction :)

After all, listen to yourself :)

New Wet Kojak - Nasty International

If we ask what kind of music is this, I'm not sure we'll come up with some concrete results. Created as an extension of Girls Against Boys, this Washington-based group may be a rock, but it's also the noise, ambiental, or some kind of sonic passage that feels good to my ears. All in all, a thick and murky sound, based more on tension than on the riff.
After all, this is all just theorizing, what is important that I spent an hour in vacuuming and wiping the dust, enjoying, all thanks to this great album :)

Funkadelic - One Nation Under a Groove

I will be on the road about 20 minutes, so, I will not and i can't spend much time on words .... After all, why should I, this is one of the best albums of all time.

French Frith Kaiser Thompson - Live, Love, Larf & Loaf

This band, in addition to the inevitable "all-star" epithet, also echoes with the sound of four friends which have very much fun. Taking into account the strong aura of each individual separately here, and apparently non-existent clash of egos, the result is a charming, colorful and always great record.

Chuck Prophet - Soap and Water

Chuck Prophet is engaged with commercial sound, there is no doubt. And it works very well. And given that a good song is imperative of any genre, and if we take as a criterion necessity for adaptation to today's sound, through production, this album stands as one of the pillars of popular music.
Unstable statement, you say, but check it yourself :)

Marianne Faithfull - Broken English

There are many things related to the name of Mrs. Marianne Faithfull, her love affairs with celebrities, her sinking into world of drugs, voice change, cabaret music, and, also, her return to the scene, early in 21st century,  marked with the cooperation with a many interesting musicians ...
And somewhere in the middle of the road, as a turning point and the basis for everything that is happening now, there was this great album, the witness of a time, and also, the music for dance :)

Various Artists - Sound of Siam, Vol. 2: Molam & Luk Thung 1970-1982

Military machine, despite all the negative, can sometimes have a positive effect. For example, the arrival of the US Army in Thailand, in the sixties, had a strong influence on local bands, and has mixed American genres like rock, soul, jazz with traditional Thai luk thung style. And the result is timeless music that, today, 50 years later, makes me very happy :)

John Cale - Slow Dazzle

I first heard for Cale long time ago. I had his collaboration with Terry Riley, otherwise brilliant album "Church of Anthrax", on tape and I believe it was one of my first encounter with a different form of music. Wonderful time, when my musical path was closely connected with some interesting and today distant people. Around that time, this album came to me and it was something I kept coming back for years, enjoying in authentic vision of one seemingly classic sound .....
Cale, authentic savage   :)

Jarboe - Mahakali

If we take for truth the idea that people listen to the kind of music how they feel at that moment, the question is how  I feel  listening to this album? Certainly not a very calm :) Although, it's also true, that, after this i will listen, for example, Parliament, gently wiggling hips ... Now, that says more about my personality, stable in perpetual variations ... and this is precisely what can be said for Mahakali :)

Chris Connelly - The Episodes

Some day, while I listened to this album, my mother began to talk about some TV show about Bowie ... And to my comment that it isn't he, let's say that I haven't managed to convince her :) Now, although the way of singing resembles the early phase of above-mentioned, i found it difficult to accept this kind of comparison with a little bit, at least for me, boring Ziggy Stardust, and it is even quite inappropriate to powerful and complex vision like this.
Anyway, try to listen Bowie's albums after 1974, and while accepting that they exists at all, maybe you can fill your time with this excellent album :)

Los Lobos - Good Morning Aztlán

If you are the average music consumer, you know about them through their eternal summer hit "La Bamba." If it happen that you are interested in a bit more, in front of you is one of the best mainstream rock bands ever.
And what about me? I'm, of course, interested :)

Yoko Ono Plastic Ono Band - Between My Head and the Sky

Typical album by Yoko Ono means atypical album for majority. Some people say that is very difficult to survive her records, and yet, for me, it seem somehow very attractive :) A long time ago, i found somewhere, otherwise excellent record "Double Fantasy," by Lennon and Yoko, and her songs are fascinated me, in a way I was deeply emotionally touched. Neither this album is no exception, very colorful in sound, when near the end sail into calmer waters, I do not know whether I want to return to the port :)

Bill Callahan - Apocalypse

Back at home after nearly twenty days trip, I realized that I rarely listened to music, perhaps for the first time in my life. You know what, this is possible :) And yet, in rare lonely moments, with a fervor, I threw myself on this album, losing myself in it, in the mysterious and not always understandable Callahan's mind, still, feeling very strong affiliation to this strange world ... .
And what about you? Maybe you also belong there? Here's a great opportunity to check it  :)

Lucinda Williams - World Without Tears

Today's post fostered a classic sound. First reason for that is music itself. Quality of interpretation here is very high. Lucinda is at the very top of the U.S. country pop/rock production, her strong personality raised her high above the average. A second, essentially, i am alternative person. But, a long time ago, I realized one thing. If I, with my alternative thinking reject everything else, i'm then conservative idiot. Not to mention the sacrifice of various pleasures....
And precisely there is the key, in pleasures. Because, Lucinda wild and melancholy world makes me very happy  :)

Here's an one unusual rock album that, perhaps, will refuse classic rockers with their psychedelic and experimental elements. What a shame, it could provide them much pleasure :)

Tomahawk - Anonymous

Patton's legacy is huge by now, almost can't remember the genre that didn't touched. Although, by itself, this doesn't mean anything, what means is a fact that there is no decline in quality. Patton's muse is endless and it's hard to even imagine where it will lead. Perhaps, you might say jokingly, he will try to play, for example, Indian folklore. Or something crazy like that. 
What you say? Already did that? Hm ...

Well, let's hear it .... :)

Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentlemen... We Are Floating in Space

Both bands which Jason Pierce had, Spiritualized and Spacemen 3, are described as hypnotic and psychedelic, and it's hard to deny ... as well as their quality, after all. However, what's attracted me the most, was their, somewhat in the background, rock talent.
And like a proof of my submission is this great rock record  :)

The Creatures - Boomerang

This kind of music always interested me, one that knows no boundaries, also very strange and rhythmic completely open. Indeed, according to the thin line between alternative and pop music and assuming that we want to do something like this, it would be very difficult to define the genre of this album :)
And above all, as the connective tissue, here is Siouxie, giving us himself, and that element is absolutely irreplaceable, if you please :)
