• SPARETIRE - The Sample Remains The Same (2019 Mixtape on JMY)

I love when Brent Gutzeit blurs the line between mix, remix and collage. This mix tape goes all over & back again -- and works well as a
companion to his Pop Music album on LuvSound last year.

Wilhelm took the above cover photo for Roots And Ripples - that is one of the best photos I've ever seen.

• Wayne Shorter - Juju (1964 Blue Note)
• Hank Mobley - No Room For Squares (1964 Blue Note)

It might not be fair to say I actually listened to the Wayne Shorter and Hank Mobley albums. The soundscape in my apartment on Saturday was more a wash of screaming children and chattering
adults as I hosted a birthday party for my 94 year old grandmother. I stopped putting on music after the Mobley when it was clear nobody would be able to hear it! I am also regretting now that I
didn't have my field recorder going.

• Various – Music Around Benjamin Boretz: Open Spaces, 2005 (2005 Open Space)

This post has been sitting in my drafts queue for too long, I'll just say the highlight of this (pretty extensive) compilation is
J.K. Randall's benfest reworking of Boretz' UN(-). I swear to god if you scribbled Nobukazu Takemura's
name onto this I wouldn't have batted an eye. I need to catch up with 21st century J.K. Randall. I dig the
playful and clustery mixture between slick general MIDI FM synth module vibes and sharp arrangements. (Which
could also describe a fair amount of Takemura's work!) Maybe Randall is less risky with timbre and a bit more
restless with thematic material, but I couldn't stop marveling at the kindred spirits I was hearing between these two.

• Angel Olsen / Steve Gunn – Live At Pickathon: Angel Olsen / Steve Gunn (2016 Easy Sound)

I basically just listened to a bunch of overnight renders of a longform algorithmic thing I started recently while I worked today,
so I didn't even make it to side two (the Steve Gunn side) of this Angel Olsen / Steve Gunn split yet.

The Angel Olsen side is wonderful though, several of the songs overlap with the record of hers I already have (and know, and love) but it was fun to hear a few new things and the arrangements
on this LP are way different than the originals. Love that flangy guitar! Pretty nice recording for a live / festival recording, too. Looking forward to the Gunn side tomorrow.

• Altos – Altos (2011 Self-released)

On the subject of records I love yet are also the only record by that artist I've ever heard... Angel Olsen's Half Way Home
would fall into that category. I wonder sometimes if I'm almost afraid to ruin the magic of that one singular album by exploring
the rest of the discography. But that's ridiculous, so I'll file Angel Olsen along with Silent Poets among those I need to catch up with.
She's got a split with Steve Gunn, too -- probably a good place to start!

Cocteau Twins – Victorialand (1986 4AD) Miles Davis - In A Silent Way (1969 Columbia) Silent Poets - To Come... (1999 Idyllic) Sometimes I wonder how well known this Silent Poets album is in the US -- I think it made a splash in the late 90s / early 00s? It did for me. I...
