Undomondo Radio Show #39

If you’re wondering where on earth shows #33-38 are, don’t! #39 was a special one where I set out to do an alternative show from christmas songs but failed. The first part begins with some great christmas tunes, goes into some oldschool hiphop & booty bass and finally ends with a superb Turkish folk jazz piece, which I found through 45devir.net thanks to our reader Henri!

Part 2 : Top 42-36

* Les Savy Fav – Let’s stay Friends (Frenchkiss) : So I submitted to indie hypster art rock shit with the Brooklyn indierockers Les Savy Fav. Their uptempo indie stomp is catchy as well, filling in the shoes of last years Bloc Party for me.
* Pjusk – Sart (12K): Barren drony soundscapes from Norway by the duo of Jostein Dahl Gjelsvik and Rune Sagevik.

Part 1 : Top 50-43

* Taxi Taxi – Maps and Legends : NY indie rockers Taxi Taxi have presented a solid album with lots of good songs, I even have second thoughts about how it may have deserved a higher spot.
* Odd Nosdam – Level level wires (Anticon) : Released on California’s Anticon, this album blends minimalist electronics with soundscapes and beats.

Top 50 Best of 2007 – General thoughts

2007 was very very lucrative for new music and even a top 50 list isn’t enough to cover the noteworthy albums. I’ll publish the top 50 list now and gradually go through them in the coming days with an mp3 for every album, till the end of this year.

White Magic – Dark Stars

The White Magic faerie Mira Billotte and co. released an EP on Drag City in October which I found out about while checking out the old Aquarius Records newsletters I had in my inbox and seriously I can only justify the 2 months lag by saying that “I must have been totally messed up by the day job I had”.

The Nostalgia 77 Octet

First “Everything under the Sun” by Nostalgia 77 and now the “Weapons Of Jazz Destruction” by the Nostalgia 77 Octet! Benedic Lamdin seems to be a never-stopper. 2 extraordinary albums in a year!! That really is not the correct way to do things in the music industry is it?
