What I listened to today: 2024-05-22 Mastodon post, Autechre

Sean Booth of Æ has a Fediverse account and one day last year posted this gorgeous outtake from Oversteps (which I still consider Æ's most risk-taking album). It's kind of breathtaking, utterly unlike Æ, a labyrinth of classical spanish guitar, while also quintessentially Æ and very "yeah that, that's an Oversteps track". I think of this as a cousin to known(1) but I feel shadows of other songs of that era too

What I'm listening to today: "Southside", Lil Keke

What if I spent this entire week linking classic "dirty south" hip-hop tracks I loved from 97.9 The Box back in the 90s (which, I am visiting Houston this week and their selection is still excellent). No one could really stop me.

Here's known DJ Screw associate Lil Keke, dropping an effortless flow that stuck in my head for 29 years and my favorite instance of slide guitar in the entire corpus of music. Sorry Beck

RE: mastodon.social/@mcc/116200867

Notes about this:

1. For purposes of this week's music links I am declaring total amnesty on all sins and crimes, like *total* amnesty, even artists I am really upset with (I am not upset with Lil Keke)

2. I'm not actually sorry, Beck

3. You may have encountered Lil Keke being interviewed in the news in the last couple years about his time in the Screwed Up Click clique— specifically to talk about fellow S.U.C. member George Floyd, aka Big Floyd, later a resident of Minneapolis
