I have chills... and not from pleasure...
 
Tuskegee Strutter's Ball

Don Byron - from "Tuskegee Experiments"
1992 (Elektra Nonesuch)

High Llamas - "Nomads"
Every time it takes my breath away, one of the closest things to Pet Sounds that can't be called plagiarism.
A great talent in arrangements, in the instrumental string progressions, the production of the strings section in Stereolab's "Emperor Tomato Ketchup" is, in my opinion, the pinnacle of the group and the album, in some sections more refined Kraut (unless one gets trapped in a nonsensical definition that means much more than others, everything and nothing.)
The discussion just had on these pages is pointless to reiterate.
 
 
#noclassics3 Blue Moon (original Al Bowlly, 1936)
I don't know if this is the original version.
 
Tango Whiskyman

(I'm obsessed, forgive me)
 
 
LES ENFANTS DU PARADIS - Trailer (Il Cinema Ritrovato al cinema)

Ingrandisci questa immagine new version 2020. Definitely contagious!
 
 
#noclassics3 Crimson and Clover - Tommy James & The Shondells
But how many versions of this piece have I heard? Even the Velvet got through it with their diapers, if I'm not mistaken.
 
#noclassics1 Bob Moses ‎– When Elephants Dream Of Music (1993 - Album)
I was talking (strange now that writing on the PC has turned into speaking, distant verbs but now close, the only thing. In fact, nothing strange), Anyway, I was talking about my wandering on YouTube and the beautiful things that come up.
Now I was drawn in by an enticing title and a beautiful cover. After a nice, almost friendly listen, I found what I consider (not that it counts much, I’m aware) a beautiful piece of Spurious Jazz. I don’t know him, maybe I’m talking about a classic, still it didn’t seem bad to highlight it because it could, like me, attract listeners far from the realms of jazz spheres.
If anyone is interested, To You... For the record, after a few listens, I look for reviews but only afterwards, a test to understand if my musical tastes have a reason, a game if you will.
 
Budgie - Rape Of The Locks [2013 Remaster]
I would describe them as psych hard prog... these grooves deserve recognition!
 
Here after this piece I have a new LP that gently enters the list of my favorites of *2020*, I may be among the few but I find it a valid work. And "Gently" is not an adjective (I hope) thrown around haphazardly.
Stuart Moxham & Louis Philippe ~ Singing Out
I take this opportunity to shine the spotlight on "Adlestrop" by Gilroy Mere, an interesting work that Bandcamp in turn pointed out to me and a first listen confirms the interest sparked by various English outlets.

Speaking of Capish from the Olympic podium.
Doing rock'n'roll daycare style, featuring in order: the carnival guitar, the Bontempi organ without batteries, and finally the Muppets’ drum set, how do we want to consider this?
That's what these three proto-nerds from New Jersey did (please check the faces),
produced none other than by that other competitive nerd named Peter Holsapple (and if you don’t know who he is, too bad for you...there’s always time to rebuild a life worth living, but you need to hurry up though).
PS: and what taste they had too: when you choose to cover a classic like 'The Letter' (the prepubescent Alex Chilton of the Box Tops), you suddenly go from being nice to becoming fraternal friends...
 
@[123asterisco] Anyway, among the Can, especially from Tago Mago, this is the one I prefer 😉 The Flaming Lips - Take Me Ta Mars
 
After the 10 worst things produced by Venditti, by Daniele, the "Unlistenable Dalla" column by @[fabriziozizzi], the Edoardo Smerdato of @[Martello], and the column "HOW TO RUIN A CAREER" in volumes by @[Dislocation], I find it right and necessary to mention the leftovers from my two previous columns. There will be a total of 10 leftovers, divided into two listens. Let's start with Uncle Antunello from Campobasso. (in purely random order)
Shake - Antonello Venditti
Estate rubino
Antonello Venditti - A che gioco giochi
La Coscienza Di Zeman
Come Un Vulcano
As always, we also invoke @[dsalva] and @[Farnaby].
 
 
Well tuned in to #radiocapish

Without promising you any consistency, I offer you a little summer column: jazz soundtracks of film noir. Today, we start with a timeless classic. For more information, check out this nice little page: Ascenseur Pour L'échafaud - Miles Davis - recensione

Enjoy listening!
