Listen to an awesome track from this magical disc of polycarbonate plastic
Reupped a second time by special request on Feb 15, 2015, here.
[Originally posted on February 24, 2013.] Tonight, as most of the U.S. tunes in to the Oscars, I'll be finishing up the latest "New Life" comic for Rain Taxi using text from Mellow Actions, a new book by an old friend of mine, Brandon Downing. I don't mention Brandon idly: He was, after all, the person who introduced me to Cambodian music of the 60s and 70s in the first place.
Today's offering comes to us via Thai Cam Video on Foster Road in Portland, Oregon (get volume 11 here and 13 here). I have a lot more stuff I brought home from Thai Cam that I'll eventually upload, but this is the last of the 60s-70s Cambodian collections.
Awrighty. I'd love to stay and chat, but I really do have to get back to this comic; deadline's tomorrow morning.

Thanks for this, I just love this music.
Speaking of Brandon Downing, I have his book Lake Antiquity. I saw it at Powell's Books in Portland a couple of years ago, and was really intrigued by the text/collage combination. I do a lot of collage work, and always enjoy seeing someone do something original in that medium.
The links for both disc 11 & 13 are gone... Re-up?
Thanx............!
