Anticipation for new things to come, discovered this weekend: New Yello album: TOUCH YELLO
Say what you will, these guys fall in with Kraftwerk for me as innovators of electronic music, from the standpoint of learning how to bring the analogue into the mix. After they released "Stella" in 1985, they were cemented into music history. Truly embracing a Dada exuberance to the making of electronic music, the fact that this video has two 60 year old guys making cutting edge great sounds shows their commitment to the music. They hit and miss, to be sure, but seeing how they keep in the game makes me very happy.
Hey Paul I like that Touch Yello. Not really my taste but it was funky.
Right now I'm listening to:

So I happened upon the band Let's Wrestle, started digging their album In The Court Of The Wrestling Let's, and just now I found out it was recorded in Whitechapel.
If you haven't checked them out, I highly recommend it. Fun stuff.
This week's been all about Neil Young for me. ON THE BEACH, mainly, but healthy doses of AFTER THE GOLDRUSH, COMES A TIME, HARVEST and TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT as well. He comforts me. And it's fun to play along on guitar to his music.
Also been listening to this dude: Phillip Roebuck. Bitchin banjo-ist/one man band.
Other than that: Converge - Axe to Fall At the Drive-In - In-Casino-Out Fugazi - In on the Kill Taker and the new Bad Rabbits, who are basically a New Jack Swing revival band. I am a fan. Seriously funky.
