2005 Favorites: New Additions
We've updated the 2005 Favorites list with a few new picks (see full list to the right), including releases from A-Frames, Brakes, Broadcast, Crazy Rhythms, The Juan Maclean, and Marc Leclair. I'll let you takes a stab at guessing who picked what.

Rajeev and I have mentioned most of these albums at least one or twice; some will hopefully receive attention in the future. Here is a compendium of past posts and MP3s. Enjoy!

- A-Frames: "Galena" (MP3), "Experiment" (MP3)
- Brakes: Quick Takes: Brakes - Give Blood, Brakes - Pianos, 10.4.05, "Heard About Your Band" (MP3), "All Night Disco Party (Live From Glasgow)" (via Eardrums)
- Broadcast: Four First Impressions, Three Addictions, "Corporeal" (via Making Flippy Floppy)
- Crazy Rhythms: Crazy Rhythms Mix CD - Out on 8/30, Crazy Rhythms Release Party
- The Juan Maclean: Rajeev's Top 5 (or so) of 2005 (so far), "Give Me Every Little Thing (Cajmere Remix)" (via Banana Nutrament)
- Marc Leclair: Early Thoughts on Recent Purchases, Mini-Mutek NYC, "33e Jour" (via Hey Andy)

"#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.
