scored a ton of old jazz lp's at an antique store and after copying from vinyl to mp3 & am wading through. found some other stuff that ties into periodic projects. just finished round 1 of work on a 2 cd mix of downtempo stuff that is all framed around a re-mixed version of the KLF's 'chill out' that i found on the interwebs. got a couple more takes on this before it is done.
the new gil scott heron is really good.
am very, very impressed with the new laura viers album. nick drake meets liz phair.
was disappointed with the new massive attack.
just snagged peter gabriels' new one but haven't listened to, working too much and when not working working too much on other things.
finished a three hour mix of mashups made by other folks (threw in one i made, too) that i called 'one flew over the cuckoo's mix.' remixed all of last year's pet shop boys album and made it into a 2 cd set with the b-sides and called it 'yes, no, maybe'.
bought season 1 of costello's 'spectacle' show from sundance channel and am really enjoying watching that and cannot recommend it enough. i love oral history and it is great watching people who genuinely love what they do (generally) talking very articulately about it.
