Notes:
– I featured a bunch of music today by Scottish percussionist Ken Hyder and his K-Space bandmate Tim Hodgkinson. Ken was in Talisker back in the 70s and Tim was in Henry Cow, and later The Work (often overlooked and great) and The Momes, among other projects.
– My favorite new rock record is by a French band called Gunslingers, featuring a guitarist named Gregory Raimo. This shit is HEAVY, but not in any metal way. It reminds me most of mid-70s proto-punk art-rockers MX-80, which featured another brilliant guitarist, Bruce Anderson. The title of one the tracks I didn’t play, "San Pedro Hallucination," begs for Minutemen comparisons as well, although I don’t really hear it except in the intensity.
– Today’s Japrock sample was from Akira Ishikawa & Count Buffaloes’ 1972 album, Uganda. The album focuses on Ishikawa’s percussion, but the track I played also has a thumb piano (mbira) on it, I’m pretty sure, and when I run across that instrument, I play it. Decision made.
