In this day and age it’s practically commonplace to be subjected to shameless, oft-cringe-inducing American Apparel ads while browsing Losanjealous the original content Los Angeles music and culture blog – and several other blogs (we’re told). And as a blog that has to pay for a variety of items like hosting fees just to keep its doors open, we certainly thank the fine perverts at American Apparel time and again for their tireless online support, even as we scratch our heads at their creative choices and silently question the veracity of the documented legal ages of the talent used in said creatives. All this aside, we have no choice but to commend American Apparel for going the distance on their ass fixation of late, ignoring current pesky regulatory immigration entanglements and focusing on what they do best in this economic climate: namely, publish and distribute choice photos of sweet asses to the public at large. This time, they also enlisted the help of the outside world.
Brand new EP from Lobisomem, aka noisemaker Brad Loving, on vinyl from Tall Corn to share with you today. Think in the vein of Dntel, Daedelus, possibly even late 70s bedridden ambient Eno now and again. I’ll take my first two emails for a copy of the vinyl; I will need your name and preferred shipping address.
Word on the street has it Brad’s also got the lion’s share of a new full-length, recorded at Chicago’s formidable Soma Studios by John McEntire, already in the can. No idea the street date on that material, or if it will ever surface, or what. For now, let us enjoy the EP. Stream “Chicago Metronomo” below, while enjoying the accompanying visual of its tightly-mastered sound wave:
» Lobis-omem (purchase the EP from a dozen different outlets at this one URL)
» Bird and Whale (enjoy a vast array of stunning mp3 mix tapes by a wide array of folks, and some photos of Mali, over at Brad’s site)
Bill Frisell, legendary jazz guitarist, is debuting a new trio on the west coast, including a show at Largo on April 13th. We caught up with Bill in the Seattle airport just as he was putting his belt and shoes back on. He was delightful and excited to talk about his new band.
BF: Hello?
Q: Hi Bill – this is Dave from losanjealous.com – is now still a good time to talk?
BF: Sure – I am just here at the airport.
Q: Nowhere better than SeaTac for a nice conversation about music, huh?
