Dead Moon extravaganza!!!!!

Black and white gold

Daggers

Daggers! 7-inchers 

Amazing Norwegian powerpop band, went on to become Kung Fu Girls. Very good stuff!

Over the Edge

For years this was my favorite 7" in the whole world. I still get goose bumps when I put it on. This to me is Dead Moon's finest moment. They never did make a bad record and their live album Live Evil is the best live record I know. But this one just blew my mind completely when I first heard it . It's strange that you can still find this used for a pretty good price, I guess they never really got that big in the States. In Germany and Scandinavia they were pretty big though.

Top 5 on a Kentucky spring afternoon.

1. A song my wife just made, named Ibsen. It's beautiful and I can't stop humming the melody!
2. John Coltrane- Olé
3. Motorpsycho - Still Life With Eggplant (came in the mail from Germany this week, sweet)
4. Soft Machine - Third
5. Bengt Nordström - Meaningless

Frippe!

Swedish free jazz legend Mats Gustafsson recommended this record to me. Bengt "Frippe" Nordström's Meaningless. This is a collection of some of his collaborations from the 60s. Nordström's records are extremely rare today and are hard to come by. The music is really unique!!! Nordström is mostly known for releasing the first Albert Ayler record on his own Bird Note imprint.

Schwarzwaldfart!

This is such a special record. I love Peter Brötzmann! He's such a giant in free jazz, having been active since the 60s and he's still pumping out albums like crazy and still tours a lot all over the world. On this record from 77 , he brought his friend, drummer Han Bennink into the German Black Forest and recorded there in the wild. Bennink is using water, air, sticks and stones as percussion, while Brötzmann plays the sax like a wildman! You can hear the wind and birds singing. A very special record!

Today's Top 5

Not feeling like listening to guitar today, so here goes the top 5 records with zero 6-string!

Gatefold of Soft Machine's "Third" Awesomeness Indeed.

1. Soft Machine -Third

2. John Coltrane -Interstellar Space

3. The Thing - Live at Blå

4. Peter Brötzmann - For Adolphe Sax

5. Sun Ra - Strange Strings

On this one the whole Arkestra played instruments that they didn't master prior to the recording. It's by far my favorite Sun Ra!
