Morning Becomes Eclectic

[moyboy]

I had the pleasure of meeting Nic Harcourt yesterday. Some of you have probably seen stripped down acoustic performances by many great artists on his Morning Becomes Eclectic show on KCRW. I just wanted to say that this man seems to be all that is right about the music industry, and if you're not familiar with his show it's worth checking out. He is good people.

if it is "Music Lust", I have it at home but have not read it (yet).
it looks like its a book of music recommendations and observations.

the new(er) KCRW album has a pretty cool cover of Damien Rice doing Radioheads Creep and (MY FAV OF THE ALBUM, IT IS AWESOME) M Ward doing Bowies Lets Dance.

This is the kind of thread I always end up discovering new music from.... it's the best thing about the "long tail" and music.... before u had to read in a magazine or hunt around in a record store to find something cool -- which made the choices always subject to the "gatekeeping" of editors and music store buyers and etc... -- which would lead inevitably to mediocrity and the prevalence of "poser music" -- i.e. stuff that you want to like because you think it's cool, not because you really like it. Music journalism especially creates high-profiles for really lame stuff, because journalists are always looking behind their backs, trying to profile something that they think in 2 years people will think they were cool for liking "way back when".... I GREATLY prefer the democratic nature of threads like these, where people simply list their tastes and you can just look something up on itunes or youtube and check it out for yourself....

These days I'm really into techno and techno/rock and stuff like that -- try searching for these songs:

Thomas Falke "Revolution On The Dance Floor"
Groove Cutter "My Shooter"
Control One "Just A Little Bit"
Ian Carey "Redlight"
Kevin Weg "Dead Radio"

I don't usually go for techno but these are sort of like a weird crossover between rock and techno/trance.

Here are also some downloads with some other cool stuff too -- http://www.electricfilebox.com/tracks

same old rock/hip-hop/r&b bullsh*t.....
