That's It!!

The cut of the month is ALVARIUS B - Evil Next to Blue. What a fun
cut! this is the opener to his 3rd record "Blood Operatives of the
Barium Sunset" Vinyl only baby! I've been working with Alan Bishop
and the Sun City Girls for 13 years now and the mind communication is
uncanny! The mix of this song is a product of that channelling.
Perfectly balanced like a bruising from Joe Frazier. Check it out!

The fantastic EMBLEMATIC came in to crank and album in 4 days! Their
brand of low key rock reminds me of Minutemen with the Momma and the
Papas and King Crimson. Cut of the month soon!

BEN MCALLISTER stopped by to do a little film music recording for
piano and violin. Nice stuff.

KEXP blew my mind with a run of really great in studios

TED LEO - he energy is all there, captured for you to hear. In fact,
it made it up on I tunes under KEXP's live podcasts. Good quality and
all if you want to check it out seach for KEXP in the I tunes store
or go to kexp.org

MATISYAHU - I thought a Hasidic Reggae artist was a joke band, but
boy was I wrong. The band was super hot and did a sound check by
playing all this free jazz that sounded like Mahavishnu Orchestra.
Then the show started and it was the most amazing reggae I've heard
in a long time.

MOBIUS BAND - these guys were on tour with Matisyahu. They made me
realize that the world is super tiny. That's a Sea Ray reference for
those of you keeping score

NOUVELLE VAGUE - Ok, another French pop band, but they do bosa nova
versions of songs from the Dead Kennedys and the Buzzcocks. truly
inspiring renditions and it turns out of the guys plays in the
current Tuxedomoon. How could you go wrong.

DENGUE FEVER - Cambodian pop music from the 60's hands down.

FOURTET - another small world moment. This guys brand of electronica
was an interactive mix for me. Turns out he's friends with Animal
Collective. Yikes!

IDLEWILD - Doing acoustic versions of their pop ballards, these Scots
are truly chaotic at times!

and last but not least the ANIMAL COLLECTIVE record called Feels is
being released in just a few short days!

Get in line!
