04.07.21 | Has anyone listened to the 10 minute long Laurie Anderson/Kronos Quartet track? Some prime Ent rock |
NorthernSkylark
04.07.21 | I have not, what genre is it? Will check 1, I remember the cover but never got around to listening to it I think... |
DoofDoof
04.07.21 | It's the genre 'arty', 'spoken word arty' - for some reason i love it though for most people it would be a quite interesting first listen that they never return to I'd presume.
Laurie's narration has this effect applied to it that makes her sound like a Lord of the Rings Ent - also a bit 'The Neverending Story'. It really takes me back to when I was listening to it almost every day for a month or so. |

04.07.21 | Hausswolff and Exit North!!! |
NorthernSkylark
04.07.21 | Yeah exit north is the best thing here |
NorthernSkylark
04.07.21 | Exit north. |
DoofDoof
04.07.21 | Exit North is album of the year but not sure any single song really lifts itself well clear of the rest of the tracks on that album - maybe missing an outright classic song?
Saying that, none of these picks are outright classics, very much 'personal classics' this time |

04.07.21 | Marianne faithful - the gypsie faerie queen
Adrianne lenker - from
Marissa nadler - said goodbye to that car
Big red machine - forest green
Mid air thief - these chains
Melody’s echo chamber - var har du vart
Jon Hopkins - emerald rush
Kasey musgraves - lonely weekend
David Byrne - it’s not dark up here
Haley heynderrickx - oom sha la la
Ezra furman- love you so bad
Mgmt - me and Michael
Nils frahm - my friend the forest
Anna calvi - don’t beat the girl out of my boy
Okkervil river - famous tracheotomies
Grouper - driving
Mount eerie - two paintings by Nikolai Astrup
Brandi carlile- the joke
That’s my quick take. It gets harder to cherry pick the nearer we come to the present day. |

04.07.21 | Where the absolute fuck is You Know Me Too Well by Nothing But Thieves? |
anat
04.07.21 | is 3 your fave from frankly? would have to be toulouse surely |
DoofDoof
04.07.21 | anat - currently 3 is my fave, it used to be 'Bad Boys'. 'Toulouse' is top 4 with those two, plus the closer |
DoofDoof
04.07.21 | Lark - I forgot 2018 was the year with that Byrne album, again not sure I class any song on that an absolute classic but I enjoyed that album a lot at the time |
Relinquished
04.07.21 | 8, interesting pick
got friends spinning that track that had me thinking Trippie had something going
then he collabed with Chino and Barker, and yea
still not a fan |
DoofDoof
04.07.21 | yeah, a one off track for me - I haven't followed Trippie beyond that tune but his vocals really work on that one |
