Four Tet At Other Music - June 13, 8 PM
Four Tet fans, Kieran Hebden will be making a special appearance at Other Music, June 13 at 8 pm. Since I've never been to an OM in-store, I have no idea how they will fit a throng of laptronica aficionados into their tiny space. Get there earlier to secure a good spot, obviously.

While Everything Ecstatic hasn't taken over my life quite like Rounds did, I have enjoyed it immensely and his recent Bowery Ballroom appearance with Caribou and the Junior Boys was quite good. According to Pitchfork, he'll be back at the Bowery on October 10. It's way too early to get excited about that and I'll have to see who else will be on the lineup before I decide to attend. No offense to Mr. Hebden, but I'm not quite sure Four Tet as a headliner has enough pull for me.

"#5 (Go Bang)"
"#7 (Recorded Live at the Kitchen, 1979)"
Not that it takes much, but the trailer for the upcoming Arthur Russell documentary got me onto an AR kick the other day, and I headed for Dinosaur L's 24-24 Music. 24-24 is thought by some to be the gem of Russell's dancier material, and it'll hopefully be reissued soon. The Francois K remix of its masterstroke "#5 (Go Bang)" kicks off 2004's The World of Arthur Russell compilation, but I actually prefer the 24-24 original (MP3). When I first heard 24-24, though, the standout for me was far more fleeting. The two-minute "#7 (Recorded Live at the Kitchen, 1979)" (MP3) is a tantalizingly short slice of a session I hope is sitting in full in a vault somewhere. Russell's cello anchors a percussive horn-guitar groove that quickly recalls (or, I should say, previews) !!! and others. And, like much of Russell's music, I love it not only for its sound but also for the era of NYC it instantly evokes.
