oh suomi, how i love you so

 joose keskitalo is a finnish folk musician who often contributes to paavoharju, a finnish free-folk/psychedelic/electronic band  (if you haven’t listened to them already, you should really do so, but only if you want).   i guess i should go ahead and note that all of his music is in finnish, so…if you don’t mind the language barrier, give it listen. 

 ”kuljin minä maantietä” by joose keskitalo from the album kaupungit puristuvat puristimissa.

 he records on the helmi levyt label. (www. helmilevyt.com)

happy vALENTINE’S DAY pt. 1

i was going to make a nice little list of downloads for this lovely occasion, but i’m going to be lazy and finish that later. it’s gonna be GOOOOD though when i do it. it’ll be up within the next day or so.

currently, as in, at the very moment i type, i am listening to P.G. Six. For some reason his voice, to me, is reminiscent of that of Bert Jansch, the “British Bob Dylan” (misnomer) and founding member of the Pentangle. anyway, P.G. (Pat Gubler), a member of The Tower Recordings, makes nice, often droney and chimey guitar and harp based psych-folk, if you will. what a mouthful of useless description. he plays lots of instruments (hammond organ, harp, guitar, electric piano, etc etc etc) and it is very very good. a real “one man acid folk band.”

old man on the mountain, from P.G. Six’s album the well of memory.

this song is wonderful beautiful beautiful great

p.g. six

 

ghq

you should listen to ghq. their brand of music might appeal especially to those who like fursaxa, paavoharju, the tower recordings, jack rose, mv & ee, and other similar bands. their music is psych-folk with an audible eastern influence. it is very good music for taking trips.i am listening to this song right now:crystal healing

hey you!

listen to The Red Faced Laughter!!!!!!!!!!

download their brokenear netlabel release (#4 ) here

it’s so hard to find it but when you do…

OCDJ is cool. really cool. the music, made by one guy who started out as a DJ on WFMU, a new york-based freeform radio station, kind of sounds like a cross between dan deacon, nullsleep, and girl talk.  the sound really varies, but if you listen, you might understand what i’m talking about here. i don’t know what else to say except listen! i’m sharing my discoveries with you! i think you’ll like what i put here.

woopash, from OCDJ’s album, Hooray 

oh yeah…he’s from baltimore, so he’s gotta be cool, right?
