Said the Gramophone - an mp3 blog
LET'S PRETEND IT'S STILL BEFORE NOON
Found 5 months, 1 week agoHi. Welcome to the new and improved Said the Gramophone. If you're reading this in an RSS reader I recommend you come visit the site to see some of the small and to be honest pretty obvious changes that we've made. Give the day and age, it's not really going ...
Time and Place
Found 5 months, 1 week agoLee Moses - "Bad Girl pt. 1" That grey-eyed gypsy bitch, I know she's two-timing him, I know she is. When I told her I found her slipper in the driveway she just laughed and said, "Oh, I guess I was missing that." She doesn't have right in her eyes, ...
Failed Pilot
Found 5 months, 1 week agoFewn - "Lobbying Congress for the Right to Punch You in the Face" I think of Curtains, Winks, and Red Pony Clock, and smile wiiiiiide. Then I think of curtains, winks, red, ponies, but not a clock in sight. No timepiece of any sort (that includes metronomes) are allowed in ...
FUCK STATLER AND WALDORF
Found 5 months, 1 week agoCuddle Magic - "Pillows". A voice like a trombone solo, which is to say at once mournful and vaguely funny. Like the Magnetic Fields after drinking a bottle of cough syrup, waking up in the orchestra pit. There's jazz in this insofar as there's jazz in all regrets, doubts, wondering ...
Pseudobotany
Found 5 months, 1 week agoOdetta - "Sail Away Ladies" If I could do it over again, I'd have my life start in precisely the way that "Sail Away Ladies" does - with a contrabass riff. After all, "Sail Away Ladies" turned out alright - it doesn't eat too much candy, drink too much Diet ...
A Rainbow's Stark Silhouette
Found 5 months, 1 week agoSybris - "Hurt Hawk" Day 99: I will not have this burning into my conscience anymore. I don't care who reads this, warden be damned, I have to write it down, to remember it as it was, and without clouding. We were past the guards, we were out of their ...
STARLINGS STARLINGS STARLINGS STARLINGS
Found 5 months, 1 week agoElbow - "Starlings".Here's what a fanfare is: It's when the trumpets all go BADEDAAAAAAAAAAAAH. It's when they play their brass notes in ALL CAPS and it's when the drums they play fierce & fearsome ratatatat-tat. Fanfares startle, they wake you up. They're a coup d'or to the eye. They ANNOUNCE ...
If It Were Left Up To Me
Found 5 months, 1 week agoPortishead - "Deep Water" Much of the new Portishead (I hadn't thought about this band in about 8 years) sounds oddly mashed together, with new and fascinating beats bullying Beth Gibbons' totally time-capsuled (but still lovely) vocals to an effect much like the musicians aren't paying much attention to each ...
THE WEATHER IS BAD TODAY
Found 5 months, 1 week agoEric Chenaux - "Am I Lovely". The beatiful new album from Eric Chenaux is mint and lavender, Scottish-tinged, but filled with enough Toronto smoke to keep yr eyes from getting misty. His jazz-folk is free but not scary; it is affectionate in its harmonies and accepting of all comers. Look ...
A Man of Letters
Found 5 months, 1 week agoTo Whom It May Concern, In anticipation of your complaints - that this song is overly repetitive, that it's problematically undynamic - I would like to make two points: 1) The simple, repetitious melodic structure of the music is meant as nothing more than a showcase for my words, my ...
