559A Weirdos Having Fun

Yeah, Wonderful Weirdo's day is still a few weeks away, so I'm getting these next few mixes out in your hands so you are well prepared.

Maybe it was all those years listening to Vicki Bennett's "Do or DIY" radio show on WFMU.  Maybe its my disdain for pop music.  Bottom line, I love weird things.  The next several playlists highlight some oddball music that usually defies categorization.   This is the stuff I listen to when no one else is around.

557 Covers

A fun set of cover songs that I'd been enjoying lately.  Was a good trip down memory lane hearing these again as I've had most in my collection for quite a while.  The image here is a quilt, which I have an appreciation for the effort and craftsmanship put into them after spending a lot of time talking with the artists at the recent 4-H exhibit at our county fair.  Side note, my daughter took 1st place in her category at the fair and is now headed to the state fair later this month, exciting times for the Mooz household.

556 Snippits mix 3: the bits between the bits

Here it is, volume 3 of my snippit mixes.  Collecting short tracks (generally 1 minute or less) from albums when I was compiling other mixes and dumped them in a folder to be sorted later.  96 tracks took quite an effort to sort and arrange into somewhat of a musical narrative.  Quirky humor, blasts of cacophony, at times peaceful, and some almost resembling songs.  Vol 1 and Vol 2 still available.

On a different subject that I am passionate about, please consider donating to keep what we love alive.

554 No God, only Doom!

   I read an article years ago on MetalSucks that touted the 25 best doom metal songs.  Naturally I went about trying to source and compile them into a playlist only to find that I didn't really like all the weird avenues and nuances of the doom metal genre.  Sure I like the big names and the easier to digest groups, but most of that playlist wasn't my cup of tea.   So I sat on this for... well pretty much since I started this blog.  This was originally labeled as my mix #66, and here we are up at 554.  

Over those years I took my time and if I came across a track that fit better with the overall feeling I wanted to express with this playlist I'd add it to the folder, and this could no longer be called a doom metal mix.  Months later I'd review and scrap some tracks and resurrect others.  Eventually I just said screw it, close enough, and I filled in the last few holes to make what is available here.  I would love some recommendations for this genre as I know I'm missing some gems.

553 El-P

  El-Producto, aka Jaime Stuart Meline has been an unrelenting force in rap music for three decades.  I remember getting "Funcrusher Plus" when it came out and being instantly hooked, especially the DJ Premiere remix of "8 Steps to Perfection."  El-P's production work is no joke either, Cannibal Ox made me take notice of that.  Throughout the years my favorite of his works were his guest appearances, many of which are included here along with some productions and remixes.  His career was all leading up to Run The Jewels, which is a like a late career megaton bomb.  Amazing and shows he still has a lot of gas left in the tank.

552 The Confession of a Quiet Replica

Invigorated by finding Hrvatski's full catalog for "name your price" at bandcamp got me excited to revisit this era of Keith Fullterton Whitman's catalog.  I was also excited to find a bootleg copy of "Green Darkness vol 1" from MLTKK, I loved their music dearly up until their 3rd album.  I've slowly been trying to get into Oneohtrix Point Never and listen to UNKLE beyond their "Psyence Fiction" album.

551 The Remix According to Skylab

Took forever to do this one, due mostly to having so many remixes that I just didn't like.  Weeding through those showcased the style that I did like from them.  That style being the 94-96 period with Howie B as a member.   Those early tracks like "Seashell," "Next," and "Twister" brought a smile to my face.  Their work on "Offbeat - A Red Hot Sound Trip" was something really special, like the collaboration with My Bloody Valentine at their peak.  I picked up their single for "The Trip" and was very disappointed, never bought any future releases from them.  In my opinion, this shows the impact one member of a group can have.  I suppose it always was Mat Ducasse's group, and most of these remixes are from the post-Howie B era.

Born out of leftovers from the last mix, plus re-finding my Three Mile Pilot CDs, realizing the Oiseaux-Tempete title is from Hakim Bey, finding this Orchids remix via The Pastels, and hearing this Ocean Blue track on the radio and reminding myself that I used to like them back in the 90s.  The swirl of my thoughts all came together here.

549 Steps and Flashes of Music as a Drug

Time to get those dancing shoes on.  This is not entirely a funk mix, just some dance oriented music that isn't techno.  Seeing !!! perform in or around 2000 was certainly a highlight and a fun evening.  I still think their first self titled album was their peak.  Same with the related group OutHud, they were on a roll until they added vocals, just wasn't my cup of tea.  Hope this mix gets you movin and a-grooving!  I sure can't sit still while listening to it.

547 Ubu Smallbones

This came from my desire to include Coil and Blue next to each other somehow.  Plus, the Lou Reed meditations album is just wonderful and I've been wanting to use part of this somewhere.  The Moby track is just me adding the bassline from the original to the "Aquamix" remix - I love both versions however felt the remix was missing that groove.

546 Lushed

A wonderful track from Orbital with some classic remixes, and here 32 years after its release I'm still coming back to it time and time again.   What I've done for this mix is include those originals (1-3) and era remixes (3-5, 7, 13) along with bootleg (9-10) and disguised remixes (6, 8, 12, 14) from peers and modern artists.  I read that Vapourspace created four remixes, and only as of recently two of them have been released.  Hopeful the remaining tracks will see the light of day sometime.  Despite this being 14 versions of the same track, there is plenty of depth and variety making it an engaging listen all the way through.

544 I dreamt a dream last night

Title is a translation of the Opiate track.  I'd recently been investigating Skull, as having only heard them on the Macro Dub Infection CDs.  The rest of this mix just fell into place from there.

Wrapping it up with some more structure and less ambient in the traditional sense.  I mean, who would have expected a Funkadelic cover working in this style?

543B Bootgaze

Fun name for this style, and appropriate in my opinion.  Somehow I had previously overlooked the wonderful world of Nick Cave and Warren Ellis' soundtrack work.  Sure I'd seen these movies but neglected to pick up the soundtracks which are great and really do compliment the films as a great composer should.

543A High Desert Ambient

The next three mixes continue my fascination with Ambient Americana.  Each focused on a sub-genre if that's possible, building in some intensity towards more traditional song oriented tracks in the third.  I found many new artists to explore and have really enjoyed this.  These mixes have been in constant rotation while I'm working for the last couple weeks.  So much so that I've slacked on compiling new mixes as a result.  

Here are the previous four mixes I made.

Enjoying a much needed break from work to celebrate 20 years with my love.

Hope everyone is living their best life and loving the summertime.

All the best,

This does include tracks from the namesakes of Pink Floyd, along with a lot of other classic blues and old folk tracks.  Its been a while since I broke out this genre and I felt inspired.  I seem to always throw Stevie in these mixes as he's the only modern-ish blues artist I frequently listen to.
