Miles Davis

Miles Davis, “Bitches Brew”

Woo, I am seriously unequipped to comment on this. Kinda feel like I should call it a day.

Butthole Surfers, “Human Cannonball”

We’re with Locust Abortion Technician here, part of the great Surfers run prior to ending up on Capitol Records, somehow. It’s a record that just wanders wherever the band chooses with no particular regard to genre boundaries or anything else, something that can be very difficult to pull off but I wish more bands did.

Miles Davis, “Pharaoh’s Dance”

Bitches Brew didn’t create the category of jazz fusion, but basically everything in the genre after it builds on it.

Uh, or so I’m told.

The Men, “Dreamer”

Brooklyn quartet The Men returned to their earlier sound and approach with Devil Music, producing a ripping set of ten songs that clocks in at a little over a half hour. We’re softies around here for this kind of garage punk, so of course this is a delight.
