Wagonpost part 1
First part in a double- (or potentially multi-) part of Wagon/Gneiss Things/Pizza Night megapost which is still in the process of being ripped and uploaded. Things will resume Sunday/Mondayish when I get back from Boston. Wagon and Gneiss Things, for those who don't know, are the two vanity labels associated with Emeralds, the Cleveland-based ambient/synth/krautrock/etc etc etc trio who are taking the world by storm or some such whatever. Wagon is primarily taken care of by guitarist Mark McGuire with help from synthian John Elliott, and Gneiss Things is the slightly less prolific label run by twin synthmaster Steve Hauschildt. Pizza Night is run by fellow Clevelandian (Clevelandite? Clevelandine?) Sam Goldberg who, while not being part of Emeralds, has played with them and is a solidly-entrenched part of that scene, being also responsible for the venue The Grog Shop. As you can see by the stack there's quite a bit to absorb, plus tapes coming.

Four new CDrs
Decided to move away from a "tape only" format, partially because I'm a little bit frightened to rip more after my Nakamichi ate one of my 1958-2009 cassettes, and also because it seems kind of dumb to limit oneself when there's so much good material out there to provide. Here's a recent acquisition from the High Spirits label via Amethyst Sunset, one of the best new distros around. Haven't seen these for sale (or even mentioned) anywhere else, and two of them are sold out from there already. Take your chance now to pick up the ones they still have! They're well worth it.
There's no tracklisting on any of these... just the name and title. Pretty spartan.
Outer Space - Wrecked Math
John Elliott of Emeralds and probably someone else (don't know who for this release) slingin synth like no one's business.
Steve Kenney - Smoke Dogg
The past member of Isis & Werewolves (with Dilloway), constant close collaborator with Nate Young, and all around chill motherfucker has a special surprise for you on track 3 of this release.
Radio People - The Rumor
Sam Goldberg, the Grog + Pizza man, eschews his usual somber guitar and organ work for some neat ambient abstract synthesizer.
Mark McGuire - High Above The City
The man who needs no introduction. Supposedly this is a reissue, or something, with an extra track, but who honestly knows. Mystery.

1958-2009
Back again after a long hiatus. These two tapes are loving tributes to the much-maligned king of pop, produced by the heads behind the always wonderful Ekhein and Jugular Forest labels. Fantastic melancholy synth from the consistently good new-new age scene.
1958-2009 - 1958-2009
1958-2009 - II
