Purity Ring- Shrines (2012) This is definitely the release I've been anticipating the most this year. It's a really outstanding album. Their performance at SXSW this past March was probably the best live set I've seen in my 5 years attending the festival. <iframe width="325" height="200" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/YyFtyKZ1Orc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="325" height="200" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/wVcOwVD4V30" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Breakfast in America - Supertramp Not really terribly old, but a damn fine album that holds up time after time on the turntable.
Sun Ra - Second Star to the Right: Salute to Walt Disney Lee "Scratch" Perry - Scratch Came, Scratch Saw, Scratch Conquered Sun Ra - Blue Delight Lee "Scratch" Perry - Jamaican E.T. And that finally ends the Sun Ra/Lee "Scratch" Perry run, lol.

There was no laptop on stage. I saw them in a closed venue where the lights were off. The girl would just sing and the guy had this really cool light/drum type setup. Every time he would touch one of them it would light up. Hard to explain, but you can see on this video someone posted of the show. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/mh7iOwwr8bY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> The setup time for their shows were notoriously ridiculous. Like we had to wait about a whole 45 minutes after their scheduled performance time despite SXSW being an on time festival. This happened at their two other shows as well. But on the whole, it probably was the best performance I've ever seen at the festival.
And you had the nerve to call me posting the last 10 songs I listened to annoying. (I think it was you)
this song is maje righteous. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/qXJNUK2xwUw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Fiona Apple - Extraordinary Machine Fiona Apple - The Idler Wheel First impressions on Fiona's new one - not bad but not an immediate grabber as her first 2 albums. I suspect it will be a "grower" album. Now onto the great, unknown figure of dub music in Augustus Pablo.
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/MiaekG1Q0UE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Pablo's large footprints are all over reggae's landscape. most of his stuff i'd consider instrumental, not dub the mixing engineer's medium. for a decent dub offering, where Pablo's melodica doesn't dominate the dub effect, try Hugh Mundell & Augustus Pablo 'Africa Must Be Free By 1983 Dub'. judging from your prior dub excursion its probably already on your to do list.
^ Good stuff there, ico. Augustus Pablo - East of the River Nile Augustus Pablo - King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown
