This weekend has been somewhat of a blur. I took a mini-vacation at my sister’s home and went 72 hours without access to my music, systems, computers and most of all my sanity. It was a necessary break. A few online interactions in online music and audio forums had me thinking long and hard about how one’s preference is not the same as one’s opinion.
I was assailed by some folks about my music/recording choices for NARP and it got a bit heated. More to come on this, just not sure of the vehicle, but I promise you all, this is FAR from over.
So, with less aplomb, here we go with a list of must-haves/must-listens for this week:
- Biffy Clyro – A Celebration of Endings
- Daniel Hope – Hope@Home
- Fantastic Negrito – Have You Lost Your Mind Yet
- Rufus Wainwright – Unfollow the Rules
- Sergei Babayan – Rachmaninoff: Preludes, Etudes-Tableaux, Moments Musicaux
And then there were those from left-field: (my personal head-scratchers)
- Deerhoof and Wadada Leo Smith – To Be Surrounded By Beautiful, Curious, Breathing, Laughing Flesh Is Enough
- Fanfan Tulipan – Genius Noci
- Asher Gamedze – Dialectic Soul
- Roots Magic Take Root Among The Stars
- Quin Kirchner- The Shadows and the Light
