Harry Belafonte - Troubles
May 28, 2008 | Posted by SoGlitchy at 7:17 AM

A great track off of his difficult-to-find 1956 self-titled album; also featured on the import-only Island in the Sun box set. Both will cost you a pretty penny in the states, where apparently the man has fallen out of fashion and out of print, save for the hits. That's a shame.

Bruno Pronsato - Why Can't We Be Like Us
May 15, 2008 | Posted by SoGlitchy at 6:43 PM

Minimal techno in the Villalobos vein, with a sneaky way of feeling warm. Resident Advisor went nuts over it.

Booka Shade - Outskirts

A much more subdued record than Movements, but stay up late enough, and you might find something very nice hidden among all that not-dancing.

Willie Nelson - Nite Life
May 10, 2008 | Posted by SoGlitchy at 11:33 AM

The new box set, One Hell of a Ride, is some really essential stuff. This version of this song is not on it. (heh.) Happy 75th, Willie.

If you can just make it until next winter, you'll be ok.

XTC - Chalkhills and Children
May 8, 2008 | Posted by SoGlitchy at 8:42 PM

Floaty and fluffy as a cloud. One of my favorite XTC songs. One of my favorite songs, full stop.

The Rivieras - Warm California Sun

It's been a NASTY goddamn winter here in Chicago. Let's act like that never happened, ok?
