Reupped because I promised I would.
Ever since I stumbled onto this video for Dolphin's "Without Us":
I've kept my eye out for the album it came from, imagining it was, at bare minimum, listenable. When I found a copy online late last year, I filed it away, waiting to give it a fair hearing. And promptly forgot about it.
Maybe it was seeing a copy of Peter Hook's book on Joy Division in a bookstore I popped into on the way home after work this evening, but something nudged this album back into my consciousness. Once at home I searched for it in my computer; when I found it, I popped open a Six Point and spent the next hour letting the Dolphin wash its post-punk waves of tuna-safe Dolphin-y goodness over me. And realizing that you really, really had to hear it.
Youth, or Yunost, is Dolphin's sixth studio album, released in 2007. I realize that you and I don't know each other all that well, but ... I think you're going to like it.
Postscript: I love this album so much that, when I found a physical copy of it in an Astoria thrift shop recently, I shelled out for it so I could while away evening after evening "grooving on the cover" while listening to it. Seriously.
Just reupped by special request. Drag the thrills down to your world.
Yet another awesome find at Thai-Cam Video on Foster Road in Portland, Oregon. (See below for several others.)
I've had a long, busy week at work and now I just want to (a) catch up on Project Runway All Stars and then (b) fall asleep reading more of Sheng Keyi's Northern Girls, so please forgive the lack of rambling on my part this evening. Do you really need me to tell you how great this is when you can listen to the samples above?
I'll be back when I'm rested up.
Bodega Pop Live returns to WFMU's Give the Drummer Radio this Wednesday night at 7PM EST with three thrill-packed hours of cover songs, cultural appropriation, genre-bending, remix and sampling.
Listen in, check out the track list and join the conversation here.
Bodega Pop Live returns to WFMU's Give the Drummer Radio tonight from 7-10 PM ET with a special broadcast: LADIES' NIGHT. Half off all double-priced drinks for all XX-chromosomed/identified individuals!
State courts in California, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin have ruled that ladies' nights constitute unlawful gender discrimination. But, hey--we're in New York!
GOOD NEWS: My ADrive files are all restored. All is well. Now ... I just have to start posting more frequently.
I don't mean to be alarmist, but I just received the following from Paypal:
We have recently reviewed your PayPal account activity and determined that
you are in violation of PayPal's Acceptable Use Policy by accepting
donations for music downloads.
As a result, your account has been limited temporarily.
To help us resolve this, you will need to:
- Remove PayPal as a payment option, as well as all references to PayPal,
including the PayPal logo and/or shopping cart.
- Submit the online Acceptable Use Policy affidavit.
The irony of this being that PayPal is an acceptable method of payment for hosting files on ADrive.com, which is where I store all of the Bodega's products.
Speaking of which, my ADrive account is currently "in maintenance mode," and if you've tried grabbing anything, your efforts have been thwarted. I can't log in, myself. I don't know for certain just yet, but there's a good chance that account is being revoked--or, perhaps I'm just being paranoid, having had my Divshare account revoked early last year.
I'll let you know, of course, what happens, once I know for sure what *has* happened.
Don't miss the second thrilling Bodega Pop Live show on WFMU's Give the Drummer Radio, tonight at 7 pm EST!
