Abandoned Hospitals and The Ram of Destiny (lol)

Greetings,
I'm bringing 2 mixes today. One is the standard mix of electronic and hip hop music. The other is standard rock mix. For those that dislike metal and ear piercing garage rock, rejoice for there is none to little here(the PJ Harvey track maybe...). For those that do love it, I'll make it up to you later.

Abandoned Hospitals:(Hip hop/ electronic)





Soooo many tracks that I am really loving: The most laid back funk ever comes in the form of Jimix's Blackstreet "No Diggity" remix. The Prince-ly "Hot Raw Sec" of Jimmy Edgar is a track that probably made Chromeo simultaneously nut. TOKiMONSTA is a student of Flying Lotus' Brainfeeder Collective. Some serious words get spat in the Aleon Craft posse cut, the Black Milk track, and Ski Beatz collabo with Jean Grae and Jay Electronica(Wow!). Wait until the end of "Yoga Flame" from Aleon Craft for a huge dose of Stankonia era Outkast weirdness. I love it!
The Riz MC track is also a jam. The Rocketnumbernine track is taken from a recent Four Tet mix. I had to jack the track as I couldn't find an mp3 of it ANYWHERE and I am a master of finding things... :( Oh well, it'll do!


The Ram of Destiny:(Roxorz)





"Arrow" from Katryn Calder(of The New Pornographers-she was Neko Case's replacement) is a most excellent track to wake up to. Dude from Wakey Wakey is on one Tree Hill. I have no idea what that is, but i bet my little sister does. You may recall Maps & Atlases for their track "Solid Ground" which I included on It's Miller Time . Anyhow, they're an awesome band of what seems like proggy math rock masters making pop inflections. Think a cute Don Cab(possible?).

Some Memphis love goes out to 3D Acid Glasses. I really like their track "Sloppy Surfing". The Fresh & Onlys have tightened the Hell up. I likes it(they're playing Hi Tone in October for 8 dollars! Come on!). Restless People is a group of 4 dudes that have previously worked together on projects such as Tanlines and Professor Murder(if neither of those names mean anything to you, please ask me to upload them for you). The new women album is pretty grand(they play Hi Tone in October also). The Caribou track is a live one from a recent Daytrotter session. If you don't like jammy, kraut rock drone....step off of it. If you enjoy that kind of thing, enjoy the Women and Caribou tracks(almost 12 and a half minutes of goodness!!).



BONUS ROUND VIDEO(on the actual blog only http://fuckagreatlake.blogspot.com )

Theophilus London - Oops(Tweet Cover) Produced by Hudson Mohawke




I've said too much, too much. Before i go though, both of the covers came from Dustin Cruseturner circa 2004 in our adventures around Memphis. Can you guess where Abandoned Hospitals came from? If you guessed St. Francis, you guessed wrong. The Ram of Destiny lives atop my mantle now. Her name is Smermy Smarmy. Now I've really said too much.

The Third of Three: Cat Love

Welcome back! I hope you've had enough time to enjoy the first two installments of this trilogy of great. This one is jam packed for all sorts. Track two is a revived project of John Darnielle of Mountain Goats fame. Got a bit of Memphis love here(and no, I'm not necessarily counting Elvis considering the album that his track came from was called L.A. Gems volume something something); featured...Black Sunday is Alicja Trout of Lost Sounds fame, up and comers Magic Kids are present, and the always enjoyable Holly Cole. Wizard Smoke is from Atlanta. I got that track off of a compilation of all ATL bands/rappers. Several of the other artists were on the first mix of the trilogy(Stanza). I'll quit blabbering. There's a lot here. I tried to keep the heavy at the end... Plenty of pop is present, I promise...






The cover is a chopped up picture of a post card that I took at an antique mall a few weeks back.

Lemme know what you thought!

The Second of Three: HAZElwood

Second Installment! Yum! I hope that you enjoyed the first. This mix is filled with dancy psych yumminess from the likes of Caribou on down to the grooves of Fantastic Mr Fox. Upstarts aplenty; Lorn is a new releasee on Flying Lotus' Brain Feeder imprint, Kingdom has done work with A-Trak's Fool's Gold label, and i have no real idea who Ernest Ellis is, but I did his stuff.

I tried to range this mix, as I do with most. There're tracks for techno purists, as well as adoptees of bastard sounds. Hope you enjoy!






The last installment, the rock mix, will be out in a few days. Let me know what you liked/disliked here.

The cover is of Captain Hazelwood, the captain of the Exxon Valdez.

The First of Three: Monster

This'll be the first of three mixes that I'll be releasing over the next week and a half.  My schedule on here has been out of whack.  I hope you enjoyed the albums I uploaded a few weeks back.  You'll find some of the artists within these mixes.  The majority of tracks within these mixes are pretty new though.

The first mix is called Monster and it's roughly 82% Hip Hop.  The other 18% is 1 track by Mr. Oizo & one of the dudes from Justice, and 3 tracks by the guys in Lazer Sword.

Enjoy!




Let me know what you love or hate!


See you again soon with an electronic mix, followed shortly thereafter by my typical rock mix.

Th Nn (The Nine)

Dear Friends, countrymen, strangers, internet fiends, and lovers,

It's been quite a while since I've doled out full albums. As you may(or may not) know, in the past when I have posted full albums, I have done so because I found them to be essential. Well, simply put, this has not changed. I find these nine to be no exception, and fully endorse all of them. For this bout, I'm going mainly electronic and all weird. Additionally, I've tried to bring you albums as diverse as I plausibly can while still making sure they're albums that I truly love(and not fake internet love for cred).

I can't stress enough that these are all great in their own right. If you don't feel like anything strikes you, I would still ask you to check out SMKA and Mount Kimbie. Let me know what you think of any of these.

Fucking Flight, Nasty Beale, and Random Fandom

edit: this was initially supposed to be up last Tuesday, but due to a Portland vacation and slow uploading speeds, it's late. Sorry, but here...take this.

Goofy titles in check. I think I have three really solids here. The first mix is all about poppier music. I'm not talking top 40. I'm just saying they're not scuzzed out with wailing distortions. That stuff is on the third mix. I figured since I had an overabundance of new music(thank you new internet connection), I'd split everything up to appease to listeners that align themselves more with one sound over another. The second mix is a mix of electronic music and hip hop. That's fairly standard for me. Nasty Beale's cover is dedicated to Thomas Nast(while using images created by him).

Fucking Flight:
This mix goes out to those that love poppier music(ie my girlfriend)





Nasty Beale:






Random Fandom:
louder and scuzzier than the other 2 mixes.






I'm not going to upload close to 60 tracks for streaming. Instead I'll just stream my favorites. There are a lot of standouts here.

For me the list includes:
(from Fucking Flight)
The Tins-The Green Room

Cheers, dudes and dudettes! Comments are welcomed!


end piece: my favorite new Memphis band is The Sultana. I like Sunglasses, but at the same time i recognize their Animal Collective worship and try to move past it. I wish Best Coast put a little more into the lyrics of her Converse jam. I can understand though. Selling out must be pretty hard... Early Department of Eagles sounds just as lush as new Dept of Eagles. I like the horns a lot in Suckers "Martha". One of my nicknames is "Jerry", which is why that song is here. I really respect Mount Kimbie, and view them as one of my new favorites. Captain Ahab is hilarious. I love the shift at the end of "How To Party". Sorry if you have HBO and have already heard "I Need a Dollar" about a thousand times already. Dude from White Flight used to be a member of The Anniversary. I'm really liking Beach Fossils, but i guess everyone and their internet dad is. I dig the Vandelles as kind of a place to bury strangers light. Got a lot of rock out on the third mix between awesome color and unknown mortal orchestra. I threw in Sonic Boom to remind myself that everything that sounds like that wasn't made from 2006-2010. While I'm not crazy about the new MIA, I(am not going to finish that thought).

Enjoy.

Space Animals(Bear and Cat)

so, dudes, it's been a couple of months and I apologize in a most huge manner. I was out of the country for a long long while, and then internet incapacitated for a few weeks as well. I do so hope that you will enjoy these. I realize that very little of this is freshly released, but I'm hoping quality will shine through where fantastic newity may fall short. Again, sorry for the most heinous delay/dearth. I plan to get back onto an active schedule starting today.

without more jabbering, Space Cat(more rock oriented)

Dead Gaze-This Big World
Bakesale-Prom Song

Deadmau5-Alone With You
Bear In Heaven-Ultimate Satisfaction(The Field Remix)

I included a couple of Ty Segall tracks off of his latest in order to show his progression.
Faves for me are Dead Gaze, Bakesale(local love), both Ty tracks, the Theophilus London track(thanks Jimix), MBV, new Matthew Dear, both remixes of HEALTH, James Blake, Guilty Simpson, Mount Kimbie, and Deadmau5. It's easy to zone out to the Deadmau5 track. If you think you recognize Steve Mason's voice, perhaps you are correct. He was the singer of (High Fidelity) famous band The Beta Band.

Hope you enjoy! Comments are always welcomed. If you ever need assistance in finding any artist that you've liked from these mixes, let me know and I'll try to hook you up.

P.S. Bonus points if you recognize the space bear from somewhere.

dudes, enjoy.

It's Miller Time!

Welcome back, all! I'm excited for this installment. It features a varied selection of sounds, as well as a few old goodies(the Polaris track you'll probably recognize if you were around in the early-mid 90s). The background of the cover is a picture I took in Miller Valley during my recent trip to Milwaukee. The foreground is just random crap from my hard drive that I have accumulated over the past months. The people with the dogs are wearing clothing made from dog fur. How fun is that?

Now to talk about the music:
Favorites for me are Maps & Atlases, Theophilus London's snazzy reworking of The Very Best's "Julia", my roommate's remix of 8 Ball and MJG's "Don't Flex", Fanfarlo, the sunny sonic slopes of Sleepy Sun, and that new Sleigh Bells single. While I say those are my favorites, I really quite enjoy a good 7/8 of these. A few of these are singles from Record Store Day.

Weird tidbit: The producer of Sleigh Bells used to be the lead guitarist in Poison the Well(the Po Th We track that's on here is from 2002). Mark the difference.

Anyhow, here's the music: Click either picture to download the mix.

Psychedelic Babby Art Volume 1 & 2

so hey,
I'm so pumped about both of these mixes! I feel like they're both simply spilling over with excellence. I'm biased as f*ck, yet still... Volume one is all electronic with the usual mix of whatever I get my hands on(never drum and bass). volume two picks up where the first one spills over, raging out with neo-disco squelches of new LCD Soundsystem and Holy Fuck. I hate Charlotte Gainsbourg as an actress. This is an absolute for me, so I figured I might hate her music as well. I should've listened more to her genealogy rather than trying to judge her music by her acting. Her music is fantastic. Witness here the same track twice, once redone by Matthew Dear. Pure beauty, I say. New HEALTH is great. It's the lone original track from their upcoming remix disc. Live Bulletproof Vests from the Stax Museum in lovely Memphis, Tennessee. Psychedelic Horseshit plays Hi Tone on Monday 4-26-10(if you're in Memphis...). The weather outside is most likely beautiful no matter where you are, so I encourage you to blast either of these mixes whether you're jogging, biking, strolling, driving, or even indoor/outdoor house cleaning(in my case today). I double loaded on a couple of the artists here. I did this in the case of the Black Keys to show how different their newest album sounds.

In the case of Blank Dogs, I'm fond of what they're doing but insist that Moroder did it better... The voice on the Kavinsky track is Lovefoxxx from CSS(if you're wondering).
The Electronic One:




The Rock One




I won't bother with anymore typing. Grab what you will. Let me know what you liked, loved, hated, etc. I'm always willing to feed more tracks to anyone.

Love,
FAGL

As with last week, I had a late addition that I decided to not put on here(I included last week's bonus round within these mixes and will probably do the same with this track next time). If on facebook, go to http://fuckagreatlake.blogspot.com for viewing pleasure.

What is it

I started off a little heavy and then settled into a mode of ass shaking, followed shortly thereafter by head nodding, and finally nightmares.  Favorites for me are Boris, Dead Gaze, HEALTH/Javelin, Andy Ellison, local Memphis favorites The Bulletproof Vests, Arches, and Peasant. That's just me though. Hopefully you find something to enjoy as well.







The end? Comments of love, hatred, happiness, or anger are always welcomed.


BONUS ROUND: I found out about this too late to add it onto the mix, but it's so enjoyable that I had to spread it out there anyhow.

...a good nordic husband

Marry, put make up on, take salsa dancing classes with, go to the circus with, dress up in drag, or listen to this mix with! The title was my variation on a suggestion for the title from reader Pinkie. Also, thanks to reader Roger for the cover photograph suggestion. This mix is fairly minimal(as in not in excess of 20 tracks), and is comprised of stuff I was listening to up to two weeks ago and then new stuff from Sunday forward(unnecessary details). Anyhow, a lot of it is electronic with some garagey-noisy tracks thrown in for measure and lovability. The Duran Duran song is a re-discovered favorite thanks to the Greenburg soundtrack(I left out all of the James Murphy tracks lol). Trust me when I say that the soundtrack isn't worth it. My bright moments from it were Duran Duran and finding out that Steve Miller's "Jet Airliner" is a good song to cook to.

I would like to take this chance to apologize for last week's delay. I may push for a new mix next Tuesday. I'll have to see. Might be overload.

Starkey's album, Ear Drums and Black Holes has been peeling off layers of my face for the past few weeks. If you want it, GO HERE !
I got onto Here We Go Magic only recently as I was looking up the artists playing Primavera Sound 2010. The whole of the new Caribou album, Swim, is great. I also highly suggest Tanlines' Settings EP. The new MGMT runs like an old Kinks album. I'm proud of them for making an anti-pop album.

If you want to know how to pirate something, go here: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=caribou+swim+mediafire
I used the Caribou album as an example. From that google page, look for a link that is actually form mediafire, then YOU STRIKE! Grab it all, babes.






as always, I encourage you to tell me what you loved, hated, or growled at.

Rainbow Urine Makes Them Cry

I know...absurd titles and covers, but I was feeling frisky. I know that a good portion of these are new or unheard of artists, but I tried to balance that with a few old favorites(my favorite songs from The Violent Femmes and Of Montreal. With the re-issue of Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space, I felt it was necessary to add in some SPiritualized).

Of the notable noobs, Sumach is also known as recent buzzed artist Gonja Sufi, the track from Primary 1 features Nina Persson of The Cardigans on vocals, and Nice Nice is a recent signee to Warp records with lesser experimental tinges of Battles.

Overall, you'll find both garage rock and dubstep are missing. I flavored more with dashes of electro instead. Neither of these are themed/genre-aligned and thusly the Snoop Dogg track kind of feels out of place. I feel that a good portion of these tracks are exceptional, and hope that you do agree. Enjoy some Rainbow Urine and Makes Them Cry!

As Always, thoughts and comments are appreciated and considered.

With Bells On

Happy post-Presidents Day, yall. Thanks go out to longtime FAGL friend Danny Guns for the rec on this mix's cover. He pointed me toward some pretty amazing worldwide Carnivale pics.

Anyhow, on to the music... This mix is highly concentrated with electronic music, whether it be downtempo lulls, massy dubstep miscarriages, smack your mouth out NYC raps, aqualung Bun B, or some weird indie pop thrown in for good measure. By this I do mean download at your own discretion. I mean, what the Hell it's up for grabs anyway right? And when have I steered you wrong? Ok maybe that one time with that B-52's remix. Also, I realize I am about some years late on Jamie Lidell's Multiply album. I saw him years back in Texas opening for Four Tet and I hated it. This turned me off to him until last week. I still don't like all the soul shit, but I really like the weird electronic jams. Aufgang is weird and may take a second to get into(if you do at all). It's a mixture of classical piano and dance music. Odd, yes.

Local love on this mix with new tracks from Magic Kids, Snowglobe, and Harlan T. Bobo.

Faves for me are Hounds of Hate, Rustie, Bun B, YC the Cynic, Kuhn, Jamie Lidell, and Phantogram.

Click the pic for the mix...





Let me know what you liked and what you didn't like, please. Have a good day and remember to watch the Winter Olympics. I keep forgetting, so I'm writing this more for myself than for you.

Rep Day, Bitches!

No clue what this image is for, but many thanks go out to longtime reader and FAGL friend, Nicky K Twosocks, on this cover suggestion. Anyhow, I present Rep Day. Instead of clogging up your iTunes/whatever player with 2 mixes worth of tracks, here's just one. It's a beautiful, sleek amalgamation of everything all rolled into one cd-r's worth of awesome. I've tried to bring in as many sounds as I could. Just a few days ago, after a couple hours of scouring, I had accrued 599 new tracks. This is the best of that.

Notes:
Gil Scott Heron was a pretty influential dude back in his prime(before drug arrests). The two tracks of his on this mix come from his comeback album, recorded in between two prison stints due to felony cocaine possession charges.
His track "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" is still poignant. Peep it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BS3QOtbW4m0

Josiah Wolf is the older brother of Why? frontman Yoni Wolf, and is also the drummer of aforementioned band.

AS far as I know, the Caribou track is Dan Snaith's first foray into dance music territory. This track is smooth...super smooth. in his own words, he was going for a "liquid" feel, whereas many other dance tracks are metallic.

The Jay Reatard and Jeff Mangum tracks are both off of a compilation called Stroke- Songs for Chris Knox. Knox is an influential musician from New Zealand. I highly recommend buying this whole album as it features many other attracting artists(Bonnie Prince Billie, Yo La Tengo, Magnetic Fields).

Randy Newman...yeah. I did that.

Wu Tang VS the Beatles. it's a mashup without being terribly tacky and it doesn't feel hastily put together int he least. The whole album feels somewhat natural. I prefer this to the Grey Album(possibly because I prefer Wu Tang to Jay Z...this might, however, be an unfair comparison as it is the work of one rapper to many...) Anyhow, if you like it, get the whole thing here: http://www.teasearecords.net/wuvsbeatles.cfm (Thanks to Prince for pointing me toward the light on this number).

Without further whatever:





Lemme know what you thought!

Strands 1 and 2

Here I present for your (hopeful) pleasure Strand 1 and Strand 2. Strand 1 is of the rock variety, as per usual, and 2 consists of electronic and hip hop entertainment. I won't bother with spilling my favorites. Both of these have seen some severe revision, as they originated as one mix initially. Hope you enjoy. Also, dubstep somewhat returns. Yoni Wolf is Why?, or as his current role entails the singer of Why?. That track is from his recent Daytrotter Session. The Seabear track is an older one, from 2002. I can't think of any other notes.

Rawk
Strand 1:




Electronic/HipHop
Strand 2:




These were culled from what I've been listening to lately. As a breath of fresh air for all of you that hate when I post older rock, You'll be pleased to know that the oldest thing here is Dead Boys.

Lemme know what you thought: what you hated, loved, meh-ed, liked, disliked, got married to and had kids with, etc.
