Three Improvisations On Modified Banjo.

Untitled(26:39)

This is a banjo from the East, not the banjo of the South.  Metzger is inspirational as he floats between numerous tones. Sounds of India, Tennessee, and China are all melted together to form Metzgers unique tonal blend. His unique modified banjo is fitted with 20 strings and a sitar bridge. His first track could easily be in a kung-fu movie during a very tense but insightful fight between two masters. All and all, the album is amazing and worth a listen.

MF Doom / Mmm...Food

Great record, great rapper here. I got turned onto MF Doom by 7layer when his big hit album The Mouse and the Mask came out with Danger Mouse under the name DangerDoom. Then I got this album and found it to be a lot better. got a lot of funny sound bites and samples in there. Overall a really fun record with some high quality lyrics and beats. He produces all his own stuff and has collaborated with Wu-Tang members, most notably Ghostface, he's done stuff with Talib Kwali, El-P, Mr. Fantastik, just a ton of people and its all good stuff.

Live Pink Floyd

The Great Gig on the Moon - Live in Japan (1972)

Incredible! Starts off with a seemingly impromptu Dark Side full of improves and flourishes. Expect a very different version of The Great Gig In The Sky  that will still kick your ass. Even with this added mobility the album comes full circle at almost exactly how long the studio version is. If this wasn't enough, they spend the next fifteen minutes confusing young Japanese people with awe inspiring renditions of One of These Days and Careful With That Axe Eugene. If you haven't listened to Floyd in a while, or haven't ever listen to them this is worth the time. It'll reacquaint those who have been away from Pink Floyd for some time and will undoubtedly show a new side of the band many haven't seen. Along the same lines as their Live in Pompeii show.

Artist: Niel Young & Crazy Horse / Album: Live at the Fillmore East

Neil Young at his finest, in his prime with Crazy Horse. This is a very cool album, he's come out with a few live albums in a "Performance Series" this being the first. Notice Miles Davis on the same night, John Mayall, The Moody Blues and Joe Cocker later on in the month. I can't emphasize the coolness here enough. Miles Davis and Neil Young with Crazy Horse must've been a wonderful show. This is just a quick record, some great live versions of some classic Neil Young songs. Enjoy.

1. Everybody Knowns This Is Nowhere
2. Winterlong
3. Down By The River
4. Wonderin'
5. Come On Baby Let's Go Downtown

Artist: Tom Waits / Album: Real Gone

Here is one of Tom Waits' later albums, titled "Real Gone". Real Good record, it kind of represents a comeback for him. Although there has never been a period of time where he wasn't the man. I mean he was in Mystery Men for God sakes. Typical raw voice you're used too. Maybe a little more deep, a little more raw. If Bob Dylan could make his broken glass in the throat voice that he has now work... then you have Tom Waits on this album. Look out for the great guitar solo on "Hoist That Rag"

1. Top of the Hill

2. Hoist That Rag

3. Sins of My Father

4. Shake It

5. Don't Go Into That Barn

6. How's It Gunna End

7. Metropolitan Glide

8. Dead and Lovely

9. Circus

10. Trampled Rose

11. Green Grass

12. Baby Gunna Leave Me

13. Clang Boom Steam

14. Make It Rain

15. Day After Tomorrow

16. [Unititled Track]

Best Tracks: 2. Hoist That Rag; 3. Sins of My Father; 4. Shake It; 7. Metropolitan Glide

Artist: Georges Brassens / Albums: Les Amoureux Des Bancs Publics

Ok so Georges Brassens is this French singer, does solo stuff with an acoustic guitar. Its all hilarious, at least what I can understand which isn't a lot because he's kind of out of his mind. Everything is meant to be extrememly satirical or comedic or just dirty. One song of his is about a Gorilla who escapes from a zoo and is running around a town. All the women who see it get horny because of the size of his Chien-Ming Wang. Another funny album. Again if you want some quick translations post em' and ill get back with them.

1. Les Amoureux Des Bancs Publics (The Lovers of Public Benches)

2. Brave Margot (Brave Margot)

3. Pauvre Martin (Poor Martin)

4. La Premiere Fille (The First Girl)

5. La Cane de Jeanne (Jeanne's Duck)

6. Je Suis Un Voyou (I Am A Hooligan)

7. J'ai Rendez-Vous Avec Vous (I Met You With You)

8. Le Vent (The Wind)

9. Il N'y A Pas d'Amour Heureux (He Has No Happy Love There)

10. La Mauvaise Herbe (The Bad Herb) I'll let you figure this one out

11. La Mauvais Herbe Sujet Repentir (The Bad Herb Subject to Repentence/Regret)

12. P...de Toi (p... Of You) ???? no idea what this is

Best Track(s): 2. Brave Margot; 10. La Mauvaise Herbe

Artist: Francoise Hardy / Album: La Question

This is Francoise Hardy. Not quite the status of Edit Piaf, but still really popular singer in France. Shes not much of a looker but if you were to listen without knowing what she looked like... Its a really beautiful record. A lot of great lyrics. Translation doesn't do them justice, the songs need to be listened and appreciated in the original French. I'm not a fan of recoreds re-recorded in another language. If you want some quick translations though just post what you want translated. In short, she's wonderful and makes me want to be locked up in a room with a French girl so she can just talk in French. There have been many have asleep vegetative listens to this record.

1. Viens (Come)

2. La Question (The Question)

3. Meme Sous La Pluie (Even Under the Rain)

4. Chanson D'o (O Song)

5. Le Martien (The Martian)

6. Mer (Sea)

7. Oui Je Dis Adieu (Yes I'm Saying Goodbye)

8. Doigts (Fingers)

9. La Maison (The House)

10. Si Mi Caballero (No f'in clue what this means. If something something)

11. Bati Mon Nid (Build My Nest)

12. Reve (Dream)

Best track(s) - 5. Le Martien; 6. Mer; 7. Oui Je Dis Adieu; 10. Si Mi Caballero

Song From the Hill



Get ready to enter another world. In the early 70's in california a bunch of hippies built this huge harp.  Slow eerie drones that transport you to the fifth demension.
