Today's Finds

In Faversham doing a mystery shop at my local Spoons pub. Visit number five of eight!

In West Street, I popped into the RSPCA charity shop and they are still doing two CD's for a quid sale.

Found these -



Two by smooth jazzman David Sanborn, a record that is a bit of a punt for me but if it is anything like the Hal Wilner CD might be worth a bit, and one which my bro coming42 will know, Donald Fagin's "The Nightfly".

Boards Of Canada - Geogeddi

Oi you lucky readers, not only do you get the whole "Music Has The Right To Children" from my brother coming42 but you also get the whoe second album they did - Geogeddi"

Boards of Canada - Geogeddi (full CD)

Geogaddi is the second album by Scottish electronic music duo Boards of Canada, released in February 2002. It has a darker sound than its predecessor, Music Has the Right to Children. The band claimed that the title has a definite meaning, but that they wanted listeners to decide on their own interpretations.

Warp Records 2002

I have been having a Boards Of Canada listening afternoon with their first three albums.

In the Wire, it said that "Music Has The Right To Children" reveals a quieter, more subtle wilfulness at work.

Most of the pieces are presented as music box miniatures. The whole arguably amounts to little more than an Electronica scrapbook In many cases there is just time to note the beauty of a pulse tone, or an apposite embellishment to a flesh bruise beat, before a track ebbs and fades. Nothing outstays its welcome, no idea is despoiled If the beats have a pliant solidity, the enveloping melodies and ambience are almost surreally seductive. For all their abstraction, the voices that occasionally speak through the music are disconcertingly direct, like voices in dreams. A child says "/ Love You", its tone and modulation altered, but its emotive impetus stays intact Many other artists have spun found sounds into vistas of Ambient bleakness, but Boards Of Canada engenders entropic restfulness with a twist, a discomfiting edge to ward off torpor. While all this may seem fragmentary and insubstantial on paper, the overall experience is beguiling and engrossing.


The review for the second album by Kodwo Eshun is much longer, and I could not copy the text over without judicial editing of the text. I will try later.

Three From Yo La Tengo

From one of their finest album in my opinion.

Just Wondering

Do you know your heritage?

Did you ever call in sick and then get caught?

What was your first thought waking up this morning?

Good Night
