Here are some new favorite songs. Just some fun, bouncy stuff to help get through the winter. There are some proggy, Stereolab-y bits, an outsider love song, some new age, a Romanian children's ballet from 1978, loopy cassette electronics, and the sounds I can't forget from films I've been watching. Enjoy!

At Wesleyan University I took Ron Kuivila's introduction to experimental music class. One of the best classes ever. I learned so much. I still use what I learned from him today when I listen to new, outsider music.
ReplyDeleteLove this! Thank you. First time I've heard Chief Kooffreh. Do you know much about him? I can't find much online...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Emily. I don't know too much about Chief... I heard him on Jason Elbogan's great WFMU show. I do really like that song though. If you search for him on Amazon, you can basically find his life's work, all with nearly identical album covers...
Deletescroll down and check out the song about miley cyrus. so awesome!

Haha amazing! I checked out a few last night--one about Princess Diana and another about alley cats, so to speak-- but hadn't heard this one yet. Quite a character.
DeleteArgh ! I've missed it! Ben, can you upload this in a way we could download it again? I really want to listen to it on my walkman.
ReplyDeleteOh and I'm really sorry because I still haven't send you the package I've promised you, sorry it takes so long but the last weeks have gone so fast. I will send it to you as soon as possible. I hope you're doing well with your baby and your house. Best wishes. Tom

ReplyDeleteHi Ben, great mix. So many things to discover as usual. I'm super into the Hello Machine track (and that AT&T YouTube channel is great, just checked out some stuff there recently). The Riddles of the Sphinx soundtrack hardly left my turntable since I got it a couple of weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteThanks man, hope you guys are doing well!
DeleteHi, I missed this and it looks amazing!! Is it uploaded anywhere? I´d love to have it/listen to it.
ReplyDeleteThanks in advanced and best regards,
