Well as per usual this is all over the place. Track by track: This track is by a local (Rhode Island) rapper, pretty slamming beat...A relatively new track by my friends band the gambees (http://myspace.com/beatsthatgothump) recorded by yours truly. My favorite aphex twin song. This fugazi song interested me, apparently 12 arrangements of it exist and it was originally named cause Ian couldn't think of how to fix it, but the lyrics refer to the perception of him as an indestructible public figure when in reality he has feelings. Emperor X is some guy from the midwest that knows his way around a 4-Track. I'm a sucker for sappy country influenced music, so deal with it ahahah. Xiu Xiu is stereotyped as a "Critics Pet" band and I would agree with that but I also contend that this song is quite fantastic. This nas song is great, it sounds like pure desperation in lyrical form. This may be aesop rocks best song, it's about when he was suicidal. His song "Battery" from Labor Days tells parts of the story, but in a far more abstract manner. It is cool to listen to it in that context though. Jandek is known for his fucked up take on folk and blues, but his acapella work is hauntingly excellent as well. Jack Rose is one of the best solo guitarists around today, if you have the chance to see him live go for it!

This episode is a "wacky" mix of random bullshit, cause you all know my only goal is to be as pretentious as possible. But in all seriousness here is the semi-often genre-in order list: mexican dance, proto-punk, david byrne shitting out of his ass, blues, russian experimental jazz, overly dramatic solo acoustic, wu-tang solo, middle eastern/folk, and a good ol' showtune! The perfect soundtrack to novemberfest!

Jamie is an average weezer b-side, actually now that I think about it most of their b-sides are terrible (besides mykel and carli) and this live version fuckin slams, complete with three part harmony. sunset rubdown is the solo project/band of spencer krug from wolf parade, this is from their latest, slightly disappointing album. jandek is a recluse from texas that is most know for anti-folk music, its all out of tune and depressing. this is a standout track by him, an unnamed vocalist (presumed to be eddie) gives one of the most desperate vocal performances in musical history...skip james can't touch this! the guitar is amazing too, it is just open stringed acoustic, played in the most harrowing fashion possible. everyone knows beck, this is a daniel johnston cover he recently did, one of his best works. czar tara choy vii is the musical duo of my friends zack and vic, google their name to download a show i recorded of them. i saw alan and sir richard bishop live, it was amazing and they played bitter cold country side, one of my favorite SCG songs. Daniel johnston has bipolar and is really awkward, this is a standout track by him. bright eyes is all emo, i know but they used to be great, this is from fevers and mirrors. gogol bordello have been known to be overhyped but they have made some standout tracks. handsome furs is some guy dan from wolf parade and his wife, the last track of their only cd is a nice acoustic number. the last track is a terribly obvious avant-garde joke.
