    Mark Bell of LFO (the first, original, and good LFO) died. Bummer. So young.

    Bell was a super influential force in the electronic music scene in the early 90s. Still remember booming that first LFO album in my old Toyota.

    Yeah it really is superb. Been giving it a relisten along with their earlier releases. Which seems to be what I do every fall.

    I do the same thing about once per year. This week I've been listening non-stop to Unforgettable Fire (my favorite all-time album), Boy, and Achtung Baby.

    Right on. The Unforgettable Fire is a close second for me... Love The Joshua Tree.

    Not sure if you have seen this (more than likely) but it is worth at least a rewatch/skim through:

    This better be true, or I'm holding you personally responsible for my tattered hopes and dreams.

    If it isn't true, my disappointment would be such that nothing you could do would make me feel any lower.

    Daniel Lanois' new album, Flesh and Machine, is streaming on NPR.

    It's very good, and very weird.

    Wow - they aren't playing Portland or Seattle...but...Spokane?

    Very weird.

    That's pretty much like not playing LA and San Fran, but instead playing in Bakersfield or Fresno.

    No dates in Michigan. Shouldn't be surprised, but it still hurts to see.

    And here I was all ready to shoot the messenger. Cupcake?

    Great news. Now I just need Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon to somehow forget about their divorce and get Sonic Youth rolling again.

    First track from the Sun Kil Moon christmas album is here. Is this more of an attempt to sing, Daniel Davis, or still frustrating to someone who wants to hear Kozelek in his higher registers and not in a monotone drawl?

    That sounds pretty good. Not sure I'm totally down with the arrangement of the vocals, but at least he's singing.

    I think I'm just not into new Kozelek stuff. That's fine. Lord knows I've got a ton of stuff by him that I do love, and have gotten decades of enjoyment from his music.

    RIP Jack Bruce.

    So glad I got to see him play a couple of years ago. Still in awe over that experience.

    The new Daniel Lanois is something else. I don't know if pure sound design has ever been more exciting. Noise, chaos, brutality, beauty, subtlety and nuance....all mixed to create a work showing how masterful musicians use the studio as an instrument. Brian Blades drums often create the back bone to the experimental tracks, becoming a foundation on which Lanois piles layers and layers of sounds. His guitar work has never been better - he took what Neil Young did on Le Noise, and expanded it into the stratosphere.

    New Floyd album is pretty good. It has some of the best guitar playing and guitar production I've heard. Gilmour has honed his signature style to the utmost level of human perfection, and some of the flourishes, licks, passages he plays are absolutely brilliant. The album is also mixed really well, and, like the Lanois album mentioned above, it comes alive on a good pair of headphones. I really love the final song, "Louder than Words." It's a perfect end to one of the most influential and revolutionary musical careers in the history of modern music.

    Thank you Pink Floyd.

    I'm enjoying Michigan from Surfjan Stevens. His song titles are rather amusing.

    Live at the NW Loopfest 2014. The first video I talk a bit about the gear I'm using, and the second video contains my set.

    Wish I knew about this album sooner, but Fitz and the Tantrums' Picking Up the Pieces is a really fun modern pop Motown kind of a thing. Intentionally throwbacky, but satisfying. It's so weird that this is the same band behind "The Walker" and "Out of My League," both of which are way poppier, less soulful - not bad, but just so distinct.

    What is this sorcery? If modern music production has taught me anything, it's that sound waves are rectangular.
