Back to playing more unspun records... Soichi Terada (寺田創一) - Asakusa Light Deep house by the Japanese producer/DJ. Contemplating what deep house LPs/12" to bring for tomorrow's DJ set. I visited the five story pagoda pictured on the artwork in Asakusa (浅草) last year.

Day 5 - National Weatherperson's Day - Play something that reminds you of some kind of weather. Gaussian Curve - Clouds Very cloudy in Oregon now. At least here, anyway. Also best label. In my top10 on MFM.

Yes, more. Rafael Toral - Spectral Evolution One of my favorites from last year, certainly top5 ambient. Sounds EXACTLY like the cover. An atmospheric beaut, illustrating the interconnective worlds of nature and humanity. These dissonant drones in tandem with birdsong provide a takeaway of...

Back from late lunch to continue more unplayeds... Iceblink - Carpet Cocoon Bought this five months ago without having giving it a whirl until now. From local label Moon Glyph, this record harnesses a playful folk energy with the expected comfy textures of a ambient/new age piece. Lovely.

Running through more unplayeds...about two dozen remaining. Coastlines - Coastlines Balearic jazz from a Japanese duo. Found this limited release of 500 from a Portland local. Would be more apropos during the summer months. Happy to have it for the DJ library.

Day 3 - National Golden Retriever Day - Play a record that you keep coming back to, like that retriever endlessly chasing the ball. Astrid Sonne - Great Doubt My #5 last year. I had it in rotation early in the year but it fell out around June or so; revisiting back in October had me fawning...

Day 2 - Groundhog Day - Play a cover song. Björk - Post "It's Oh So Quiet" was originally recorded by Betty Hutton in 1951. Yes, I know it is firmly out of place with the record's electronic/trip-hop focus and even hated by some. But the daring eccentricity and unpredictability, alternating...

I'll participate for at least a few days. Day 1 - Black History Month - Play something by a Black artist, something that has influenced your listening over the years. Alice Coltrane - Ptah, the El Daoud Despite having a contentious relationship with jazz music (especially with owning too...

I'm a fervent ambient music listener and I found that record bordering on a waste of time.

The Weather Station ticket purchased.

Wow is Jerry Jones also running the Dallas Mavericks?
