Shred Room 56: Saqqara

Both, sort of. I turn it up such that I can hear everything (though I don't blast it or anything, nor do I blast music at all like I used to), but the music is sort of conducive to stillness, much like some music is conducive to dancing. I usually don't browse the internet, though, and don't fiddle with the volume.

I have been busy with work and playing in the pit of a local production of Tommy the Musical, so it's mainly been whatever's in the car (Grizzly Bear - Yellow House and David Sylvian - Blemish, mainly) or Tommy.  But before that I was exploring Animal Collective and Current 93 as well as revisiting Comus, Exuma, Spirogyra, and stuff. Also Palm's Rock Island which is still AOTY for me currently.

my most recent purchases have been Amen Dunes and Kamasi Washington. Frequent sounds over the past few months have included The Knife, Crime and the City Solution, Jandek, Intersystems, Quickspace, Savoy Motel, Syrinx, This Kind of Punishment, and the sound of a tree falling in the forest

Been meaning to get that Palm album :o

I know Jambinai! Weirdly enough they're on Bella Union. I did not know they closed the Olympics tho. Their career just gets weirder.

Also, there's always someone coughing on the live records lol.

okay that sounds sensible enough, though it will still be hard for me achieving that silence here since I'm living in the city

Paul Hogan is far from being on my sh*t list, so it's all good 
And thank you

That's a great option to have! Some people clean well stoned.

Oh cool!

I was reading an older issue of Prog magazine last week and they did a "Are they prog?" feature on Jellyfish.  They mentioned their two albums Spilt Milk and Bellybutton.  They seemed to have an overall positive view of these two albums.  Seems as though they are progressive pop.  Anyhow, I don't believe that I ever heard anything from them, but the article put them on my radar as a band that I need to check out.

they are to the 90s as thw Zombies were in the 60s.

He's a nice enough dude. He's on rym actually. I'm no expert, anyway, just exploring the genre. My fave lowercase album is Toshimaru Nakamura's Egrets, so maybe check that out.
