I was away on vacation this week, which explains the near-total
\nsilence on the blog. But at least you’ll get a FRT from me. And some
\nnice posts on cryptography and game theory coming next week.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Gogol Bordello, “Dub the Frequencies of Love”:<\/b> Eastern
    \neuropean gypsies meet punk meets reggae.<\/li>\n
  2. Hawkwind, “Urban Guerilla”:<\/b> A live recording of a rather
    \ncatchy tune by Hawkwind. Personally, I prefer their spacier stuff.<\/li>\n
  3. Porcupine Tree, “Glass Arm Shattering”:<\/b> Porcupine Tree is
    \nalways great. This one starts off slow and quiet, and then builds.<\/li>\n
  4. IQ, “Harvest of Souls”:<\/b> Peter Nichols, the leader of IQ
    \nin their incarnation on this album is nothing short of a
    \ngenius. This is a wonderful song – which is not surprising, since
    \neverything from the “Dark Matter” album is wonderful.<\/li>\n
  5. Naftule’s Dream, “Afterwards”:<\/b> Lately, I’ve been very
    \ninto Klezmer – particularly the more modern jazzy\/experimental type.
    \nNaftule’s Dream is one of my favorite bands of this style. They
    \nrecord traditional Klezmer as “the Shirim Klezmer Orchestra”, and
    \ntheir more out-there stuff as “Naftule’s Dream”. This is a
    \ndeceptively mellow track, which has a lot of strange stuff going on.<\/li>\n
  6. Genesis, “Supper’s Ready”:<\/b> early Genesis – this track is
    \nthe direct precursor of “The Lamb Lays Down on Broadway”, which is
    \none of the best works in the history of rock music.<\/li>\n
  7. Sonic Youth, “Lights Out”<\/b> <\/li>\n
  8. Flying Bulgar Klezmer Band, “Buma”:<\/b> More Klez. <\/li>\n
  9. Peter Gabriel, “Signal to Noise”:<\/b> a masterpiece off of
    \nPeter Gabriel’s latest album. This is an amazing track – blending
    \norchestral backing, African singing and drumming, and some
    \ntraditional progressive tropes. Really great – this gives me chills
    \nevery time I listen to it.<\/li>\n
  10. The Flower Kings, “A King’s Prayer”:<\/b> As far as I’m
    \nconcerned, the Flower Kings can do no wrong. I can pick out any
    \ntrack off of any FK album, and be pretty much guaranteed to
    \nhear something amazing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
