This mix is about teenagers. For me it evokes spending a bunch of nights in a row at your best friend's house and lying in bed all day eating pop tarts and watching the SciFi channel, getting phone calls on the landline from guys in your class and maybe trying to get permission to meet them at the movies. I remember once my 8th-grade bestie's chainsmoking parents asked me to please wear more clothes around their house and I felt really weird about it. But there were great parts too, like feeling so comfortable in someone else's home that you could sit and read Stephen King's <i>The Moving Finger </i>for the tenth time while your bff painted her toenails without feeling like you were being a rude guest. Not to mention getting to know another family's objects and smells and pets, and how to get to the bathroom in the middle of the night without stubbing your toes.<br />
<br />
(All this sounds a little desperate in retrospect. I JUST REALLY WANTED A SISTER, YOU GUYS.)<br />
<br />
In this mix is UB40; a long clip of Angela Chase, because she is forever The teenager; a moment of Bach's "Passacaglia and Fugue in C Minor"; Cassie a few times; a clip of some chicks murmuring soothing nothings (probably somethings) from MRC051; Eroc; Mulder & Scully; Kurt Cobain on locating other Cobains the world over; Bartok's "Roman Kolinda Dallamok" (all those piano lessons our parents paid for); Jodie Foster seducing a lesbian couple in 1980's <i>Carny;</i> 2009's smash "Hyph Mngo" by electro-dub DJ Joy Orbison; and obviously Kate Bush on weird mom-daughter dynamics.<br />

These little sound pastiches are a side project of mine that I'm not really sure what to do with. A kind friend used to play them on her radio show when she wanted to take long cigarette breaks, but the rate at which they're getting weirder isn't directly correlating with my technical skill and little rough patches glare harder through the airwaves, I've been told. So here's a recent one for just you.<br />
<br />
I usually work from a film or a story that interests me. This one comes out of a strong interest I've had recently in Appalachian culture and extreme spiritual practices. The spoken portions are moments from the startling 1967 documentary <i>Holy Ghost People</i>, which reveals the world of a West Virginia Pentecostal community that practiced faith healing and snake handling. It's been called "one of the best ethnographic films ever made."<br />
<br />
Later on you'll hear Lonnie Mackley speaking in tongues (I'm forgetting what track it's paired with, but I'll get back to you). Off the top of my head there's also some Brian Eno, a moment from the original Wicker Man, "Yellow" by Miles Davis from <i>Aura</i>, a cut of Vic Chesnutt introducing himself, "Murdergong" by Jib Kidder, a bit from MRC051, and Joe Meek - "I Hear a New World," which appears in the original film, and no doubt confirms the sense of humor of the directors. Last up are a few lines from "Bright Morning Stars," an old Appalachian folk song about death.<br />
<br />
Most of the music I've known of for a long time, but it's really nice the way that a familiar song will take on surprising meaning when it fits easily into a new context or narrative.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy it.<br />

Thanks to JRW for getting me hooked on Peter Murphy's solo work. Astoundingly beautiful, with the same meticulous construction as his Bauhaus sound. Retains the Victorian richness of classic goth culture, but slips a few industrial razors between folds of velvet.<br />

<br />
Every track on <i>Deep, </i>1989 from Rebel Rec/RCA Records, is a gem but Marlene Dietrich's Favorite Poem gives me little heart tremors. Playlist <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=539fmHhmDQc&list=PL10B7EF39003DBDE8" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

Early electro classic out of Detroit. This recording, released 1983 by Fantasy Records, is now a staple of the genre and w0w 0:28, you are the sample from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khgIVMUvihg&feature=kp" target="_blank">Lose Control</a>.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Exuma is a district of the Bahamas and the stage name of Macfarlane Gregory Anthony Mackey, born 1942 on Cat Island. At 17, in 1959, Mackey moved to NYC to study architecture and played an active role in the '60s Greenwich Village folk scene. This is Exuma's first album, released 1970. His backing band is known as the Junk Band & had a rotating roster between work on <i>The Obeah Man </i>and their last album, <i>Rude Boy</i>, released 1986 by ROIR Records. Exuma toured with everyone from Patti LaBelle to Peter Tosh to Black Flag, and was awarded a British Empire Medal in 1978 for significant contributions to Bahamian culture (though Queen Elizabeth II as the monitor of Bahamian culture's enrichment is problematic at best).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Regardless, the man is obviously a mystic. His music showcases a rich variety of styles and media forms, including folklore, the saw-based rake & scrape, calypso, ballad, and junkanoo. A few posts of his better-known singles TK.<br />

Tangential Psychedelico says Happy Valentine's Day to you. Earth angel sounds from Super Djata Band de Bamako, via the impeccably curated Ghost Capital via worldservice. Worldservice has dedicated six posts to this band, which is from Mali but increasingly difficult to find recordings of in its home country, and nearly impossible in the rest of the world. This volume was released in the early 80s by Musique Mondiale. The guitar sounds like dripping tea and sun.<br />
<br />
Don't miss Worldservice's meticulous collection of this band's work and his moving commentary, <a href="http://wrldsrv.blogspot.com/2010/08/more-djata.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

Happy Tuesday from Loose Joints and their mission to create the disco <i>White Album. </i>Comprised of Arthur Russell, NYC DJ Steve D’Aquisto, Columbia undergrad Steven Hall, three singers picked up at David Mancuso’s by-invite-only parties at The Loft, and the Ingram Brothers' rhythm section (who later backed Patti LaBelle), Loose Joints only released 3 songs out of hours of recordings. I’ll post all three, starting with “Is It All Over My Face” (1980) because that’s something to be thinking about first thing in the morning.<br />

First things first: he's singing in English, so lissenup. He took part of his name from the instrument he's playing, a kondi; it's crafted from found objects - hardwood resonators made from native African trees, industrial scraps. Sorie Kondi was trapped in Freetown during the 1990s civil war in Sierra Leone and has been blind since birth. He commissions the wood bodies of his instruments from a carpenter, and puts the rest together himself. He is self-trained and has a highly functional understanding of the materials he uses in his instruments.<br />
<br />
<br />
The first time I heard Sorie Kondi was in 2009, in a <a href="http://www.thefader.com/2009/04/29/ghetto-palms-exclusive-tim-turbo-blend-lexie-lee-douster-sorie-kondi/" target="_blank">Ghetto Palms mix</a> from the Fader. Kondi gained notoriety after he was featured in a documentary and in the Chief Boima remix that the Fader used. Chief Boima is a NYC DJ but a Sierra Leone native; the collaboration between the two has also included Boima's work on Kondi's latest album <i>Thogolobea, </i>produced by Fadie Conteh. The original <a href="http://www.thefader.com/2012/01/23/chief-boima-f-sorie-kondi-without-money-no-family-mp3/" target="_blank">Chief Boima remix</a> at The Fader; great footage of <a href="http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2013/03/26/sorie-kondis-thogolobea-is-happy-folk-music-about-sad-things" target="_blank">Sorie Kondi speaking and playing</a> at The Stranger.<br />

Via <a href="http://ghostcapital.org/" target="_blank">ghostcapital</a>: a most incredible sample of Tunisian Shikhat dance music recorded by soloist and choreographer Mardi Rollow. Shikhat are "female performers in Moroccan society whose singing and dancing are central to all festivity, including rites of passage like marriage ceremonies and birth and circumcision celebrations. Despite their centrality, however, Shikhat are socially marginal due to the license that they exhibit both in performance and in their 'off-stage' lives" (<a href="http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/541074?uid=3739832&uid=2&uid=4&uid=3739256&sid=21103088663307" target="_blank">JSTOR</a>). Dancers sing, perform complicated handclap rhythms and work with finger cymbals. The joyous intensity of this music is arguably not higher than, but definitely very different from, traditional Western wedding music like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJ-fUaa7bpg" target="_blank">this</a> (which does still give me goosebumps).<br />

<br />
<br />
Lesser known of the American Primitivist musicians than his contemporary John Fahey, McGrath's recordings are comparatively hard to come by and fewer/farther between. <i>Cornflower Suite </i>is his first EP, released by Adelphi records in 1969. This is the first portion of the title track, second part <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nEOA1t1wfk" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
McGrath's liner notes read:<br />
"The music on this record is my attempt to explore and further the American acoustic guitar. I have four sources for the musics here presented: Bulgarian harmonies, Hindustani for subtle melodic graces and ideas of variation, Fahey for the conception of the art, Bartok for modal harmonies analogous to conventional Western harmony, and treatment of themes."<br />
<br />
McGrath played 12-string guitar. With this, which is at once virtuosic and lush (in those ways, and as it is based on variations, fuguelike) as a precedent it's suddenly so easy to see where something like Led Zeppelin's "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLN_rrXZ2Xw" target="_blank">White Summer/Black Mountainside</a>" could come from (without disregarding obvious Eastern influences). When I was a kid I was floored by that song, and now by this.<br />

<br />
<br />
There are so many comparisons to be drawn between women with "soulful" and "world-weary" voices but it's more fun to listen with an ear outside these. Songs like "Ribbon Bow" are transporting enough to take us beyond some kind of structure of cultural influence and just feel a little thrill in our hot red hearts.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><i>It's So Hard to Tell Who's Going to Love You the Best </i>is Dalton's first album, recorded in 1969 on Capitol. She played 12-string guitar and banjo. The album is a compact 31-and-a-half minutes. </span><br />

<br />
Another Michael Hurley classic. Something I've always loved about the Folkways recordings is how at home the artists seem in taking their time, showing their style, and playing as comfortably as they might alone. This song captures that mood between melancholy and the happiness that peace implies.<br />

Really does sound like a rooftop on Washington Square in the summertime. Hurley grew up in Bucks County, PA, and is alive, well, and recording to this day and to the delight of a century.<br />

CLASSIC SONGS OF LATA MANGESHKAR. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tgv8X6f4ic" target="_blank">Listen</a><br />
<br />
Mangeshkar's voice really inspires the kind of emotion and nostalgia that English speakers get from Bing Crosby, Sinatra, Russ Columbo. "The Nightingale of India."<br />

<br />
Theatrical gem sung by Indian performer Lata Mangeshkar, one of the best-known playback singers for Indian film. If you've ever wondered about the mesmerizing vocals of Bollywood actors, look up playback singing.<br />
<br />
Mangeshkar is also the singer of the moody lullaby <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ep_nbc10fko" target="_blank">Main Jugan Tu So Ja</a>, featured on Mississippi Records Vol. 056. The elision between some of the phrases is especially beautiful. The title means "I will stay awake while you fall asleep;" there is really nothing better than knowing that someone is staying awake while you get to sleep and this song is as good as that feeling.<br />
<br />
Both songs are featured in the 1957 Hindi film <i>Do Aankhen Barah Haath </i>(<i>Two Eyes, Twelve Hands</i>), featuring by Sandhya Shantaram.<br />

<br />
<br />
It seems "The Versatones" was a popular name for bands in the US midcentury, & this actually has nothing to do with Eddie Balzonczyk's better known group of the same name; it was a part of a one-off 45 from a different band produced on All Star records by Dickie Goodman, in 1958. Later it became a Top 10 hit on Pittsburgh's station KQV & was reissued; most copies sold in NYC out of a subway station record shop called Times Square Records. THEN in the 60s it resurfaced as a hit in Philadelphia & was reissued by Lost Nite. There's a rare version of the song only found on the Lost Nite copies in yellow vinyl. Keep an eye out.<br />
<br />
That super instrumental throaty humming is the kind of thing that sets one band apart from everything else in its genre. It's total doo-wop gibberish, unless you pull "dance" from the word "bila" which doesn't seem like too much of a stretch.<br />

<br />
Filmed mainly at the Jemaa Al Fna in Marrakesh, this hour focuses on street music played in and between Marrakesh and Essaouira by traders and travelers, as they have done for centuries, along the Trans-Saharan Highway. Featuring electric ouds, mandolins, banjos, the Gwana sentir, and mindblowing vocals. "Ecstasy" in its most literal manifestation.<br />

Mississippi Records has launched a <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/mississippicsr/" target="_blank">website</a> and a subscription series, which you can subscribe to by sending cash or check in the amount of $68-300.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"After years of resistance for no good reason" to frequent requests for a subscription service, MR has teamed up with Eggy mailorder for the Community Supported Record program: "to give people who don't live in Portland, or do not live at their local record store, a chance to get the more limited Mississippi/Change releases." The CSR also gives you an opportunity to support our label in its mission to keep prices low, to make important cultural information available to those who care, and to support artists and their ancestors who have all too often been screwed by the mainstream record industry." You'll be sent as many records as can be bought with the money you send. Records are mailed as they're produced by the plant, which MR estimates to be about three times per month. A form is available if you'd like to to narrow your genre preferences. </div>

That so many men could sing such agile vocals in complete synchronicity is nothing short of spiritual.<br />
