Sister Rosetta Tharpe - Up Above My Head

I knew since a while but i forgot her name, which i found again tonight via the excellent martin scorsese production serie, “the blues”. She rocks hard, an incredible concentrate of soul, blues, and ultra contrastd voice, + a brilliant guitar solo at 1:40! OOOOFFF!

O-Books Publishing - Fear of Music - David Stubbs - Fear of Music by David Stubbs →

Fear of Music examines the parallel histories of modern art and modern music and examines why one is embraced and understood and the other ignored, derided or regarded with bewilderment, as noisy, random nonsense perpetrated by, and listened to by the inexplicably crazed. It draws on interviews and often highly amusing anecdotal evidence in order to find answers to the question: Why do people get Rothko and not Stockhausen?

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

I love Warp. A 20 years label with a solid background, ecclectic and not conformist, even if sometimes some stuffs don’t fit my taste.

I really enjoyed the Tim Exile’s album last summer (I listened it maybe 80 times in 2 months!…thx Douglas Greed), and there is a quiet new album from Warp i really enjoy these days: “Central Market” by Tyondai Braxton.

Well the guy grew up in pretty good musical environment, cause he’s father is just Anthony Braxton, famous composer.

But whatever,

Tyondai Braxton music is really refreshing, a good blend of influences, of some music i really love, Zappa, Zorn, Magma, Stravinsky, Bartok, Spike Jonze, Mike Patton, a colorful rainbow of musical references.

The album is really produced, and executed, a bit short (34 minutes) but enought, cause the music is pretty playful.

Warp again, not a surprise.

“Records were just a little bubble through time and those who made a living from them for a while were lucky. There is no reason why anyone should have made so much money from selling records except that everything was right for this period of time. The record age was just a blip. t was a bit like if you had a source of whale blubber in the 1840s and it could be used as fuel. Before gas came along, if you traded in whale blubber, you were the richest man on Earth. Then gas came along and you’d be stuck with your whale blubber. Sorry mate – history’s moving along. Recorded music equals whale blubber. Eventually, something else will replace it.”

“With Rane’s Serato, there’s a lot of microwave DJ’s out there with MP3’s. But Serato is, to me, something you have to earn. I’m like “have you dug in the crates? Do you have at least 2,000 records? Did you ever have to carry all your speakers and crates to a gig?” If you have, then you can graduate to Serato. Here’s your medal.”
