hollowsolid: Upsetting The Apple Tart II

Mendoza Line We're All In This Alone

1. Adem - To Cure a Weakling Child/Boy Girl Song
This is a cover of two Aphex Twin songs mashed up. I've listened to both and frankly I'm a little confused. Most of my Aphex Twin stuff is from the dark web and seems to be heavily mis categorised. I think this was used in an ad recently aswell. There's a video somewhere of sunlight in a room the week S came home (and Si and Dee Dee float in and out of frame) and this is blaring in the background. Sunlit memories.

2. Sandro Perri | Double Suicide
This has been knocking around since mid last year. And has kinda grown on me. From Toronto via the blogs.

3. Casino Vs Japan | Summer Clip
This is fantastic. Crazy electronica at its best. I've had this mp3 for close to 10 years (downloaded in the dot com goldrush) but there's a glitch in the encoding which no other software has allowed me to burn to cd. iTunes' error correction sorted it out. Lexington Kentucky. Another unlikely centre of music excellence. I need to buy some of this guy's albums.

4. Lo Fine | Remotely Together
"Wise men dont poke pins they wait and deflate them a little" Evan Dando (I think!) appears completely out of nowhere on here. Havent been able to confirm.

5. Allá | Es Tiempo
Self described as Latin Psychedelic. Mexican. Ó na bolgs.

6. Handsome Furs | Hearts of Iron
Need no introduction.

7. The Mendoza Line | Let's Not Talk About It
A husband and wife team from Athens, Georgia. Divorced in 2007 and dissolved the band.

8. The Thermals | Now We Can See
Without a doubt D's favourite Dancing on the Landing song. When the oo-wayoh-oo-wo-oh bit starts she'll drop everything, come running business like from wherever she is in the house, no matter what her state of dress or dishevelment and dance in her curiously studious style (fists clenched arms tucked like a boxer, reversing in circles sometimes nodding her head when her synapses are feeling up to it). She mimics both of her parents dancing styles (god love her) and throws in a bit of Bernard Dunne. Generally elicits the reaction "Moh!" for more when it's over. Only this song and Midlake ever get that reaction. This is a song which all kids seem to love. Try it on yours!

9. Breeders - Safari
Vintage Breeders. Way before stylists. This is interesting also.

10. Jim Guthrie | Difference A Day Makes
From the blogs. Via Toronto.

11. CiM | Commuter Love
This sounds like something from an electronic archive - I have no idea where it came from but it needs its own lofi electronica tag. Very simple but very effective. They've become extinct though.

12. Manchester Orchestra | Brother
From last year's blogs. Via Atlanta Georgia.

13. Murdocks | Die Together
Contains the use of the word "Raaawwwk!!"
