Tiny Tim - God Bless Tiny Tim (1968)

Debut album from the late, great, Herbert Khaury (aka Tiny Tim)

Hadn't listened to this for a while, so I decided to give it a spin on my turntable today. "Tip-Toe Thru' The Tulips With Me," "Livin' in the Sunlight, Lovin' in the Moonlight," "Stay Down Here Where You Belong" (Irving Berlin cover), "I Got You, Babe" (Sonny & Cher cover), are Just a few highlights of this wonderfully weird & humorous album.

This 2011 album is one of the best modern free (not sure if actually free or if it just has similar syntax) jazz albums out there.

At times she bursts into intense shrieking over sporadic melodies that send chills down my spine. This album has a lot of range, and it is definitely a unique listen for the invested jazz listener.

Yup, still rather obsessed with this album. I like it even more than at the time of that review. Roberts touches on many great slavery based themes that conjures some extraordinarily powerful images in my mind, feeding my white guilt until it's filled to the brim. Uncle Tom's Cabin and Invisible Man (although it deals with post-slavery) are the only other pieces of art that made me experience this emotion with such fervency. This album is many things: beautiful, jarring, haunting, and passionate, among the many other qualities that this album explores and engenders.

Kevin Tihista Modern Standard

Mix Brian Wilson with Elliot Smith in an indie chamber pop mode and you might end up with this album. Tihista's songs can be melancholy or hopeful but they almost always stick with me long after the album is finished. Favorite songs from this release: "Just Can't Get High Anymore", "The City", "Try the Veal" and "Sequisha Chingada Picante".

Hjaltalin Enter 4

4th album from the Icelandic orchestrated electronic R’n’B group. Singer/songwriter Högni Egilsson suffered a nervous breakdown last year & the it was uncertain whether the band would stay together. the new release is certainly a different animal from their previous upbeat & joyful album, Terminal. The sound is more minimal but more hopeful than I had expected. I particularly love this gem:

This album contains some of the best songs from PRR. Still prefer The Dark Third but this could possibly be my second fav of theirs (a shame that i really dislike 2 songs here or it would be perfect). I have no idea how they manage to make such catchy songs.

PET SLIMMERS OF THE YEAR - FRAGMENTS OF UNIFORMS (2013)

Really intelligently crafted, beautiful post-rock/sludge metal. They arent exactly reinventing the wheel, but it doesnt lack in the direction and originality of plenty other post-rock albums I tend to hear these days. This is their debut full length record and is currently available via a limited pre-release. General release is some time over the next few weeks.

Dan le sac vs Scroobius Pip - Repent Replenish Repeat (2013)

I've been playing tracks from this in plug quite a lot lately but haven't found anyone to really discuss the album with so I figured it was time I drew some attention to it. A few years ago LoathsomePete posted Thou Shalt Always Kill and after hearing it I spent a lot of time listening to the duo's first album, Angles. The beats are interesting and unexpected and I really enjoyed Pip's slam-poetry style rapping, and both of those dynamics are present and amplified on Repent Replenish Repeat, though it is a much more mixed album, and the more I listen the more I prefer it over their other releases. It's powerful and invigorating, it's fun and it's solid. I recommend it for sure.

Still haven't picked that one up. After the disappointment of their sophomore album in 2010 I was a little weary, although Scroobius Pip's solo album in 2011 was pretty good.

I'll definitely give it a go before year's end.

Hound Dog Taylor and the HouseRockers - Hound Dog Taylor and the HouseRockers (1971)

Debut album from the late, great, Hound Dog Taylor. Easily one of my all-time favorite blues/rock albums, and one I return to time and time again. Raw and rowdy and a hell of a lot of fun!

"When I die they'll say, 'he couldn't play **** but he sure made it sound good.' " - Hound Dog Taylor
