Jacob Smigel's Eavesdrop project

EAVESDROP : a wealth of found sound (80 min. on one CD) Curated by Jacob Smigel.
Eavesdrop is a collection of anonymous recordings found by Jacob Smigel at thrift stores, yard sales, and in trash bins over the past four years. Smigel waded through audio or micro-cassettes, 8-Tracks and home-recorded records to find tape letters, telephone conversations, audio diaries, weird field recordings, amusement of children,fights/crying, etc...
Eavesdrop focuses exclusively on this type of material, and instead of adding music to the
clips Smigel served as preservationist (or curator) to present the listener with the most powerful recordings in their natural state. “Some are funny, some are ridiculous, others make no sense,” said Smigel, “and a few are so ‘perfect’ I can't believe I actually found them.”
Eavesdrop is 80 minutes, comprised of 40 tracks. The album includes 28 pages of track notes, transcripts, background information, and additional resources. Album art is a collage of found photos collected over the past two years. Each CD
is stuff with unique found things.









If you want to hear samples of the album or simply buy it, go HERE
. And now, please take a look at what i found in the package when i received the album HERE. Thanks Jacob !

Smoking Cigarettes

I've found this little hand-written paper in the street, here in Toulouse, and it's surprisingly written in english !
Yesterday i was sharing songs talking about cigarettes with a friend of mine who is actually, believe me or not, testing japanese cigarettes as a part time job ! So i decided to make this little compilation "Ma Copine
Nicotine".
By the way, i should REALLY quit smoking !

Elmer Bernstein - theme from the magnificent 7 Malboro commercial (1950)
Sons Of The Pioneers - Cigarettes, Whuskey and wild wild women
(1947)
Tex Williams - smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette
(1947)
Eddie Constantine - cigarette, whisky et p'tit pépé (1947)

I love my vinyl records

Rare, out of print, unusual records from the forgotten planet
This post is dedicated to all the vinyl addicts, i found faithful collectors publishing reviews about their own rare, strange and beautiful out-of-print records on the web, with precious informations or just personnal feelings and emotionnal comments. And often for your listening pleasure mp3s for free too ! (when the links have not been removed by some obscure internet copyright agency patrol, i doubt !).
So, here comes a spontaneous rough selection i've made tonight, my visits change quickly from one to another, partially because often when a new one open another one close.

Xtabay's World : a great music blog from Oceania, west of Krakatoa, dedicated to Exotica, Space Age Pop and Lounge. You can find archives of whole mp3 albums in .zip format (downloadable from RapidShare). Hope you'll enjoy your visit to the mysterious world of Xtabay. Good Hunting !

"I am sure you will find something to your taste! Please fasten your seat belt and ease into my selections of Groovy Lounge, Big Band Latin Bossa, Smooth Jazz, Kitsch Classics, Library Music and of course, Easy Listening Cocktail Muzak."

Vinyl Vulture is a U.K. based website featuring selected interesting albums reviews : Library Music, Kraut rock, Soundtracks, hip-hop, funk ... They also run their own label Licorice Soul records : funk killer reissues on 45.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Waxidermy.com is a website dedicated to unusual vinyl oddities, compulsively collected by Ed Slavin and Jeff Hassett, soon followed by other contributors. I found interesting tips about the cleaning of dirty old records. Something great with all these websites is that you always find an album or artist you have never heard about before ... And of course you can download lots of MP3s for free there too.

"CONDITIONS YOUR NERVES AND GIVES YOU COURAGE TO FACE THE TERROR and SUDDEN SCHOCK YOU WILL EXPERIENCE".

I don't think it worked !"

Farewell Comfort Stand

COMFORT STAND
netlabel special selection part#1

A bad news dropped in my mailbox from OTIS FODDER newsletter :
"I realize that this news comes on April Fools day, however this is no joke. After a two year and five month run, we have closed
COMFORT STAND(2003-2006)...
THE PROJECT IS OVER and we will no longer release new works. All of our music will remain online. Free and for a very long time."


COMFORT STAND is/was/still a very prolific NET LABEL with artists such as The Bran Flakes, Messer Chups, The Coconut Monkey Rocket, Martinibomb, Puyo Puyo, The Space Lady, Kim & Buran, Okapi, Fortyone, The Lounge King, Chenard Walker, Tapeworm Collective .... and many many more excentric artists playing all kinds of beautiful music.

The Comfort Stand philosophy :
" We are not a business. We're not out to make a profit. There are no banners, popups, or spam at Comfort Stand. You don't have to register yourself to download the music you like. We operate under the ideology that money need not come between artists and audience. "
