maybe it's because of downtime or just a change in me, but I'd say 2020 has been the best year for finding old music that I didn't really know. some of the stuff i'm about to rattle off some of you will know, but for whatever reason it had evaded me. a small thread follows.

Robert Turman - Way Down and Spirals of Everlasting Change
Éliane Radigue - Triptych and l'Ile Re-sonante
Arseney Avraamov
Margo Guryan
Conlon Nancarrow
Nick Nicely - Psychotropia
Avec le soleil sortant de sa bouche - Pas pire pop I love you so much
Scissor Girls (anything!)

Jan Jelinek (Loop Finding Jazz Records)
GreenCryptoKnight - 'Superman' single
Sword Heaven - Entrance LP
Dick Slessig Combo - cover of 'Wichita Lineman'
Culture - Two Sevens Clash (just generally more open to reggae)
Lifetones - For A Reason
David Behrman - Unforeseen Events

I also found I really liked songs by Pinback and The Monochrome Set and it goes without saying that doing a Jim O'Rourke blog has forced me to hear a load of great stuff as well as some whiffy stuff often featuring a Sonic Youth member.

end thread.
