It's good for artists, garbage for listeners

Real ones use adblock and stream the 'buy the album to listen to this track' songs anyway

Also last.fm is still the GOAT music service I'm afraid

Niggas need a ui change

Which cover? I went with alt

Almost all merch and vinyl records I buy are from Bandcamp

But it's the most useless app for listening to music. I like getting hq downloads easily but hate if I ever need to use it to actually stream

i like it!

just got the CD so the basic one lol

I thought the alt cover was also on the CD? Guess I don't know for sure

Does the CD come with the 2 extra songs as well like the vinyl?

the alternate cover was the green one right? yea nah i don't think so.

and you know what, i haven't even played the album off the CD yet so don't even know if there hidden tracks

Hopefully you get the 2 extra, they're cool epilogues. They came on a separate 7" though

From Mississippi and Olvido Records~~
Steel-string guitar and vocals by the great Giorgos Katsaros, a mythic figure of Greek rembetiko.

Our obsession with underground Greek music continues with 10 ultra-rare recordings of heartbreak and vice from rembetiko legend Giorgos Katsaros. Katsaros, who by some accounts lived to be over 100 years old, carried the old songs of Greece to the Diaspora in the United States, bridging centuries of music in one storied lifetime.

Born in 1901 on the Greek island of Amorgos, Katsaros’ was enchanted with the songs he picked up as a kid in the streets of Piraeus and Athens. Encouraged by his grandfather, an amateur singer, Katsaros developed a style that mirrored his upbringing - centuries-old Asia Minor songs, island rhythms of his homeland, well-known Athenian songs of the time, and anonymous ‘rebetiko’ songs. Katsaros’ songbook was vast, but he was most drawn to the street life and music of the manges of early 20th-century Greece: outcasts who dealt with the indignities of an unstable economy and an inauspicious future with the old standbys: wine, hash, and dancing.

These ten tracks are remastered from Katsaros's 64 surviving early recordings, many rarely heard since their original release. Hypnotic melodies plucked over repeating thumbed basslines back his deep, mournful voice.

Katsaros brought this nostalgic late-night music to smoke-filled rooms of Greek exiles in Chicago, Philly, and New York, where he emigrated in 1917. He continued to travel the country and play until his music was supplanted by more modern styles in the 1950s. He retired to the town of Tarpon Springs, FL, famous for its Greek sponge fishers, til a late-in-life revival brought him back to Greece for a few massive concerts and national accolades in the 1990s.

Like many great artists, Katsaros carefully curated his own mythic backstory over the decades. He sometimes claimed he was born in 1888, making him 109 on his passing, and conflicting accounts of his birth and travels circulate to this day. Greek researchers Stavros Kourousis and Konstantinos Kopanitsanos, who also compiled these tracks, contribute groundbreaking new historical research on Katsaros’ life. Lyrics, poetically translated by Tony Klein, further fill in the picture. Clean and rare 78s were remastered by Stereophonic. Katsaros has never sounded better than on this LP, pressed at Smashed Plastic in heavy black or red vinyl, with extensive notes and lyrics.

Hi all,

Just a quick note to mention that my last LP Moons Melt Milk Light came out a year ago this week. Time flies, and so does the creative process along with it. I'm back in the studio again and this time, embracing artifice and the joys of a more slowed down routine; a heavy day of recording followed by weeks of light edits, light edits followed by a day of heavy composing, on and on. The tools remain wind, key and field recorded based but of course as my life evolves and shifts, so does the music. I feel as mature as ever, but the childlike explorations of my work are nevertheless always ready to come out. Anyways, it's a good moment as any to check back in on MMML, a unique vantage point that I'm proud to say exists in my catalogue, and a testament to the commitment of practice.

More soon,

B

The Tuareg band Etran de L’Aïr began nearly 30 years ago with nothing but an acoustic guitar and a calabash for percussion. They toured relentlessly through their native Niger until they pieced together enough equipment for a full band: Three brothers on electric guitar and bass, accompanied by a family friend on an actual drum set. 100% Sahara Guitar is their third album, but the first to be recorded in a proper studio. Don’t call this the desert blues: Etran de L’Aïr play sun-glazed, psyched-out, blissful music, full of galloping drums, overlapping guitar solos, and chanted vocals. It’s 100% Saharan, 100% celebration, 100% rock ’n’ roll.
