Playlist for September 7, 2009

I'll be upfront first and say that for those who loyally read this blog (are there any?) that playlist posts will come on Thursday. School is going to be quite busy this year, and I have quite the juggling act ahead of me. Sorry for the discrepancies between air date and playlist posting. This week's show was a solid one though, especially if you are into experimental music. Highlight comes from the underappreciated Flying Saucer Attack, whose self-titled album is one of the best space rock/psychedelic influenced rock albums from the 90s. It's very soothing and overly dreamy. Listen to the whole thing if you never heard it, it's a masterpiece!


A great album!

I also highly recommend Virt's 8-bit Nintendo remix of Freddie Freeloader. A great jazz tune gets a stunning re-interpretation. And speaking of great jazz, the legendary Alice Coltrane shows up this week! Plus, Battles vocalist Tyondai Braxton has a solid new solo album out, hopefully the new Battles album will follow suit.

Here is the playlist:
1) Virt- Freddie Freeloader (Kind of Bloop: 8-bit Remixes of Miles Davis' Kind of Blue)
2) Fortunately Everything Dies- I Don't Wear White Jeans (Censored)
3) Skinny Puppy- Hospital Waste (VIVISectVI)
4) Nadja- Absorbed in You (The Bungled and the Botched)
5) Flying Saucer Attack- The Season is Ours (S/T)
6) Tyondai Braxton- Opening Bell (Central Market)
7) Alice Coltrane- Walk With Me (Translinear Light)
8) Andy Milne and Benoit Delbecq- Task Sharing (Where is Pannonica)
