Monsters of Ambient

Here is a handful of tracks from a couple of rockers who made some electronic music in side projects. Also something new from the Engineers and their sources. Finally a few field recordings and treatments.

I was febrile for a couple of days and all I wanted to hear was ambient stuff. Nothing like a little super-ambo chillout to couple with the home treatment. Lots of tea. Watching the rain. Annual plant death. Yeah.

Planet of the Lemurs

All this talk of a "missing link" is just plain stupid. Do the mediators really have to dumb the science down to generate hype? It undermines the credibility of science and riles up the Creationists. I guess that's the way you do it, make up some emotionally charged BS and sell it to the masses in our newfound idiocracy. Cheney seems to be using that formula. I can understand manipulation in politics, but it really bugs me when we mediatize science and sacrifice accuracy. I'm not advocating for highfalutin geek jargon. I'm saying that it is possible to communicate the complexity of nature in the plain language of mass media. From now on I'm calling it the Histrionic Channel.

So here's a soundtrack for you to ponder the parallel universe where lemurs rule the Earth and the mediasphere.
Spam Allstars - El Lagarto
Ghislain Poirier - Ignadjossi feat. Jhonel (DJ Rupture)

C4 Plants Eat More Carbon

I wonder if drought tolerant plants absorb more carbon if they are C4 plants and not carbon leaky C3 plants? That would be double the eco-karma if you planted C4, drought tolerant plants. Less water use, more carbon fixing. What species?

Spring in Boise is a oxygen rich, moisture laden, and fleeting affair. I wish the foothills would stay green until August. Get out there immediately before it dries up into a crusty mass of dead grass. Pretend it is millions of years ago and the climate is tropical and there are dense forests of avocado trees. I've heard there are avocado leaf fossils in the foothills. Anyone know where?
Make a rock sculpture for post-eschaton inhabitants to help them remember how to dance.

Here's a floaty cloud soundtrack to accompany you on your hike.

Dan Deacon - Trippy Green Skull
School Of Seven Bells - Chain
High Places - Sandy Feat (7" Version)
Panda Bear - Comfy In Nautica

Commercial Potential

Here is a selection of releases from 2008 that are either really good or have so much commercial potential that they have been licensed for use in advertisements by the likes of Apple and Anheuser Busch. Here's a good treatment of the business model. What is a music fan to make of themselves if their favorite music is used to target marketing campaigns back at them? I think it means we share good taste with the brand managers and good indie artists have to do whatever it takes to survive. Gang Gang Dance points out the practicality "We’re a band, we make music, and that’s what we want to be known for."

Richard D. James - Richard's Hairpiece [beck-odelay-(deluxe_edition]
Restiform Bodies - Panic Shopper (Tobacco Remix) [TV Loves You Back]
