#albumshuffle Day 374: Bill Orcutt - A History of Every One [Editions Mego, 2013]

Orcutt's solo acoustic guitar work in all its angular and dissonant glory. Attacking a variety of standards - including Disney dross - and twisting them into barely recognisable, halting forms. Real 21st century blues

#albumshuffle Day 373: Tonchi Pickles - gadgetronico! [pokopen recordings, 2011]

One man pop project from Fukuoka. All synths and samples to make some fun dub, techno and otherwise playful boingy music. A lot of stylistic variety if you enjoy a VGM-style polka or a bit of tabla and Arabic flavour.

Hard drive prices have gone up a lot. I have a feeling I should be buying sooner rather than later.

#albumshuffle Day 372: T. Mikawa - Cloud Carpet Bombing [Neurec, 2022]

Solo noise album from one of the big dogs. Honestly, most tracks are pleasant listening that faded into the background for me. The stable background drone/roar is sort of like standing in the middle of a stream. An angry stream.

#albumshuffle Day 371: Various - Like Nashville In Naija [Comb & Razor Sound, 2017]

A blessed double LP compilation of country music from Nigeria. Mostly recorded in the late 70s and early 80s, some have a little highlife flavour and more than a little cheesy keyboard/synth action, but it's great.

To say it has been a challenging couple of weeks would be underselling it. Think we have a way forward now, barring any black swan events like....

#albumshuffle Day 370: John Tilbury & Oren Ambarchi - The Just Reproach [Black Truffle, 2013]

A delicate improvised performance at Cafe Oto. Tilbury contibutes soft chords and short note clusters on piano, allowing them to naturally decay. Sensitive, patient play as with his contributions to AMM.

we have a very small window of opportunity i think. the americans would call it a "hail mary pass"

#albumshuffle Day 369: The Pine Hill Haints - Welcome to the Midnight Opry [K, 2011]

The Haints are a perennial favourite. They play what they call Alabama Ghost Music; drawing from folk, country, cajun and rock and roll with a punk edge. Washtub, saw, fiddle, banjo and accordion alongside guitar.

Still waiting for a boutique label to pick up the rights to Baby Police or Magic Lizard.

Watching the 250fps league on a Sunday and feeling like it's twelve years ago again. Turning to dust.

#albumshuffle Day 368: Holy Angels - Metaphysics Meditation [Prescription, 1998]

Heavy psychedelic project from Japan featuring Asahito Nanjo on electric sitar, Non from Ohkami No Jikan on drums, Mineko Itakura from Angel'in Heavy Syrup providing vocals and organ work, and others in that orbit.

#albumshuffle Day 367: Reynols - Polos Mosco [Freedom From, 1999]

Real wild album from prolific Argentinian experimentalists Reynols, whose frontman, drummer and lead vocalist Miguel Tomasin has Down's Syndrome. This is mostly an album of noisy garage rock & jams with frequent experimental detours.
November 22, 2025 at 12:54 PM
#albumshuffle Day 366: Alexander Hawkins Ensemble - Step Wide, Step Deep [Babel, 2014]

Fun album from a London sextet led by pianist Alexander Hawkins. Deftly straddles the boundary of standard contemporary jazz idioms, blues etc and the freely improvised. Nice melodies and chaotic free sections.

i'm shooting for #501albumsin501days in an homage to the greatest film buff of all time.

#albumshuffle Day 365: Yximalloo - 15 Songs [1982, Sakura Wrechords]

Early cassette from uncategorisable Japanese musician Yximalloo whose lo-fi experimental music encompasses industrial, synth pop, rock and more. Despite the title, there are 24 short songs, most of which feature Sympathy Nervous.

#albumshuffle Day 364: Reverend Charlie Jackson - God's Got It (The Legendary Booker And Jackson Singles) [CaseQuarter, 2003]

Raw, foot stompin' 70s gospel with a strong blues influence. Recordings from the Mississippi born Rev. Jackson with his fiery vocals and over-modulated electric guitar.

Have you ever heard the Toru & Kojima cover of Wonderful from the lovely Smiley / Pot Sounds album? A charming and mysterious Japanese CD that's half Beach Boys covers & half original compositions. Posted as part of WFMU's 365 Days Project way back when.

Have a listen: www.wfmu.org/365/2007/361...

#albumshuffle Day 363: The Beach Boys - Smiley Smile [Brother Records, 1967]

I love the post-burnout Smiley Smile & Wild Honey more than anything. Yeah, sure, Good Vibrations and the cut-back Heroes & Villains as presented are dazzling & fabulous, but not a patch on With Me Tonight or Wind Chimes.

It's hard to describe without sounding like a cunt, especially from the black cotton wool that comprises my fatigued brain, so why not tale a gander for yourselves:
