Kind of Blue turns 50 today! Playlist for August 17, 2009
Another birthday celebration, this one is for 50 years of Miles Davis' seminal jazz recording Kind of Blue, an album that helped launch the career of John Coltrane, and was a cornerstone in the development of modal jazz. Davis himself was responsible for the creation of many sub-genres of jazz, and is arguably the most innovative and influential jazz musician of all time, while Kind of Blue is arguably his best album. Whether Kind of Blue is the best Miles Davis album is eternally open for debate, since he has at least five essential recordings in his discography. But today belongs to Kind of Blue (released on August 17, 1959), and I intend on giving the album more dues that it very much deserves.
Other highlights include new music from Wolf Eyes and Bloody Panda, and my guest Tara, who sat in for training, and requested the wonderful The Paint Movement. They are coming to Phog this September, and Id recommend any Windsorites into jazzy-rock to check it out.

An extended Jukebox/Mashup with Productive Confusion
This week was a special show, running for three hours in length instead of the usual 90 minutes. This was because I also hosted DJ Me's Productive Confusion following the regular Juxtaposition Jukebox time-slot. I treated my hosting duties as a mash-up of Juxtaposition Jukebox and Productive Confusion, since the show came off as a broadcast of Juxtaposition Jukebox that focused on genres and artists frequently played on Productive Confusion.
A new Isis album is a reason for me to celebrate, and today's program started off with an Isis compare and contrast session, taking songs from their albums Oceanic, Panopticon, and their brillant new album Wavering Radiant (one of my favourites of 2009 so far).

During the Productive Confusion segment, many hip-hop artists were featured. Among them are the group responsible for the above album. That album cover and title makes me chuckle, and almost all the stereotypes of west coast gangsta rap are present in the sound and image, but I just can't help but dig S.C.C. and would choose them over the likes of Soulja Boy, Hot Boyz, and G-Unit anyday. Speaking of G-Unit, I also played music from Mobb Deep's seminal album Hell on Earth, and I think it is a shame that they are now affiliated with G-Unit and the useless music of 50 Cent.
Other highlights include new music from Windsor's Johnny West, who has recorded his 3rd album of the last 6 months, titled If I Had a Quarter for Every Time Someone Stuck a Gun in my Face, I'd at Least Have Enough Change to Buy a few Chocolate Bars. Much like his previous albums, the song titles are very tongue in cheek, and the music is very tuneful and intimate. Plus, if you're a fan of Don Caballero, Tortoise, or Can (I am a fiend for these bands), then check out Cheer-Accident and their new album Fear Draws Misfortune, which utilizes the best qualities from all those influential bands. Lastly, the new album from Elfin Saddle titled Ringing for the Begin Again illustrates how bold and daring Constellation Records is. Very unique japanese influenced folk/experimental music that is a must hear.
The playlist:
1) Isis- Flase Light (Oceanic)
2) Isis- Backlit (Panopticon)
3) Isis- Threshold of Transformation (Wavering Radiant)
4) Kathy Kennedy & Thanos Chrysakis- Villa Trise (HMMM)
5) Elfin Saddle- Sakura (Ringing for the Begin Again)
6) A Silver Mount Zion- Stumble Then Rise on Some Awkward Morning (He Has Left Us Alone but Shafts of Light Sometimes Grace the Corner of Our Rooms)
7) Cheer-Accident- The Carnal Carish City (Fear Draws Misfortune)
8) Philip Glass- Abdulmajid (Heroes Symphony)
9) Sarah Craig- Spring Cleaning (The Threshing Floor)
10) Hotcha- Hey Little Boy (Dust Bowl Roots)
11) Rattlesnake Choir- The Midst of my Gloom (Live Music)
12) Western States- Used to Rain (Bye and Bye)
