Tandy Love and Mad Smooth

Tandy Love and Mad Smooth (anagrams for Dom Thomas and Andy Votel) the geniuses of Finders Keepers crew......Both music archivists and collectors of old and rare psychedelia, jazz, R&B and rock vinyl. These two have releases under their names but do not live up to the records they used to chop an screw this gem.......All the track titles and the original artists are anagrams as well, to piss us off I think, others would call it art......anyways this is a great edit to listen to any time but I frequent it in the car....Released on the Fat City Recordings outfit, the people who brought you the "Producer" series featuring Low Limit, Mono/Poly, Mike Slott and Dabrye to name a few, this is one of my favorites and a must have for fans of The Gaslamp Killer or old Turkish, Isaeli, English, Korean, French, Spainish or Indian psychedelia and weirdness from the 60's and 70's.......if only I had a 1968 Mustang Fastback GT to listen to these nostalgic edits in I would be set for life on the real......I had thought I already posted this but came to realize I had not so without further ado.......

The Emperor Machine (redux)



And now for something completely different...

Since it's summertime, I figured I'd post something other than club music for once. The Emperor Machine is the nom de guerre of Andy Meecham (of Chicken Lips fame (though I use the term "fame" rather loosely here)). The proper Emperor Machine albums are themselves consistently great. It's usually a jumble of funky styles, from krautrock to left-field jazz to afro funk. Not surprisingly, this mix he recently put together for FACT magazine is a funky/psychadelic tour through his varied influences.

1. Nina Nardini - Afro-Beat
2. The Natural Yogurt band - Voodoo
3. The Fitzcarraldo Variations - Gamma Modelo
4. Bajka - The Only Religion I Believe
5. The Starlights - Mao Mao
6. The Natural Yogurt Band - Soft Cheese
7. Snakefinger - What Wilbur
8. Dynastie Krisis - Faust '72
9. C.C.S. - Brother
10. Spin - Grasshopper
11. Venus Gang - Love To Fly
12. Antonio Carlos & Jocafi - Desacato
13. Dory Previn - Mary C. Brown and The Hollywood Sign (Emperor Machine Mix)

Right Click etc.



EDITOR'S NOTE: Sorry for getting your hopes up. FACT has a shitty policy of taking mixes down after three weeks. You just missed your chance. Early bird and what have you.

To make up for it, here's another mix of Emperor Machine selections (though they're only picks from the label he's on).

One last thing, if you missed out on the above mixtape, go get The Natural Yogurt Band album. As Helf would say, it's super headie.

Jazz Anyone?


I'm going to contradict the tagline of this blog for the second time and bring to you not new, but old music. This is currently my favorite jazz album. I'll throw it on while cooking or on a morning cruise with Keller, my golden retreiver. Duke Ellington and Johnny Hodges bring us upbeat and eclectic sounds from good old 1959.

Duke Ellington
piano
Johnny Hodges alto saxophone
Ben Webster tenor saxophone
Roy Eldridge, Harry "Sweets" Edison trumpet
Lawrence Brown trombone
Les Spann flute, guitar
Billy Strayhorn piano
Al Hall, Wendell Marshall bass
Jo Jones drums

Cold Legistics

Cold Legistics' Deeper Than You Think: Instrumental EP 2009 will most definitely wow any listener. Fixated with sampling, Cold Legistics properly places snipits from all over. In the song Protect Your Investments, there is one of the greatest samples I've heard. Carlton from The Fresh Prince explaining how he lost his virginity. Absolutely Awesome. Other than my love for late 90s sitcoms, the music produced would definitely make his idol, The Late JDilla, undeniably proud.

1. I'm Gone
2. Peace
3. Coming Home
4. Lost At Sea
5. Traffic Interlude
6. Love
7. Deja Vu
8. Watered Down
9. Protect Your Investments
10. What's Going On
11. 2 Minute Break
12. All I Ever Wanted
13. Fox News
14. Didn't Wan't To
15. Soft Walking
16. The Dap Dip (Skit)
17. The Fourth Letter (Dee)
18. New Phenomenon
19. Sampling Interlude
20. Dream (Intro)
