But aren't you guys coming to wave the flags that a movie about F.D.A. is about to come out? With Fabrizio played by Marinelli??? Are you crazy!!!! Fabrizio De AndrƩ - Principe Libero. Il film al cinema solo il 23 e il 24 gennaio 2018 ok... to be honest, the movie looks pretty rough, and above all: did anyone who knew him always call him by his last name? Only former high school classmates?
 
Fifty Foot Hose - Cauldron (Full Album) I believe no introduction is needed.
 
Denis Barbier Jacques Ferchit Christian RƩmy - Musique Descriptive 2 I have no idea who they are, but this album is very nice.
 
Magazine: Because You're Frightened The best from the latest work by Magazine.
 
Steina & Woody Vasulka - Golden Voyage (1973) But how nice it is to wander around on Y T.
 
CA QUINTET-Cold spider Extraordinary record that my good friend @[imasoulman] pointed out to me some time ago.
 
Fundamental Works #buzz

This one was missing for me @ALFAMA. The perfect complement to "The United States of America."

Joe Byrd and The Field Hippies - The American Metaphysical Circus (Columbia Masterworks, 1969)

Joseph Hunter Byrd Jr. only needed two albums to write a significant part of the history of psychedelic rock music in the United States of America. A true precursor and an enlightened mind, Joseph was born in Louisville, Kentucky, and grew up in Tucson, Arizona. He studied at Sanford where he met La Monte Young, then at Berkeley with Terry Riley and Steve Reich. In 1960 he was in New York studying with Morton Feldman and John Cage, mingling with Charlotte Moorman, Yoko Ono, Jackson Mac Low, Virgil Thomson, and especially Dorothy Moskowitz, who would become his partner. When Joseph returned to the West Coast, she was the vocalist of the United States of America (1967-1968), Byrd's first band and one of the fundamental groups in the history of psychedelic music, where he expressed his radical ideas and visions both musically and conceptually and politically (he was a member of the communist party). In 1969, he released his second album with the Field Hippies: "The American Metaphysical Circus." Ideally divided into four parts, the album is, in fact, a true work of art in which Byrd experiments with the use of voice and is openly inspired by certain effects from the legendary George Martin (see for example "Kalyani" or "Patriot's Lullabye", "Moonsong: Pelog", but also "Gospel Music"). The rest is a decidedly acid album with peculiarities like the visionary ragtime of "Mister 4th of July" or "Moonsong: Pelog," which rivals some of Nico's songs from the other side of the USA. Here too, there are politically themed contents, the most obvious being "Invisible Man," a tribute - let's say - to President Lyndon Johnson. A masterpiece.

Guiltily listened to late (like all those under the #zot2017 label, after all).

Mount Eerie - A Crow Looked At Me (P. W. Elverum & Sun, March 24, 2017)

The most difficult album of all for Phil Elverum aka Mount Eerie (formerly of The Microphones). "A Crow Looked At Me" is the album he wrote and recorded alone in the same room where his wife Geneviève passed away on July 9, 2016, after losing her battle against late-stage pancreatic cancer. All of this happened shortly after the couple had a daughter, literally upheaving his existence. Clearly, working on this album was somehow a way to react to the situation: Phil began writing and recording new material practically a month after his wife's death. But primarily, he considers these songs and the entire album a way to "shout" his love for Geneviève to the whole world. It surely must not have been an easy album to write, and the eleven songs contained in it show an inner suffering that might remind one of great artists from the sixties and seventies like Bill Fay or Roy Harper. Nonetheless, the arrangements are much more minimal, practically essential, but perhaps for this reason—beyond its emotional content—the album may be the best work Phil has ever created, finally moving away from that "indie" dimension and definition and fully entering the realm of recognized songwriter. Good luck.
