Belle & Sebastian - Dear Catastrophe Waitress [2003] What I always liked about the voice of Belle & Sebastian's lead singer, Stuart Murdoch, was that he sounded much like Ray Davies of THE KINKS. And what I like about "Dear Catastophe Waitress" is that it has a subtle precious vibe to it reminicent of the Kinks' "Village Green Preservation Society." -- The songs have a sentimentality and sense of humor that seems very local.
And while songs like "Piazza, New York Catcher" may not be the most timeless of tracks, "If She Wants Me" or "Wrapped Up In Books" certainly are.
It still surprises me that Trevor Horn produced this album. The former lead singer of Yes and the Buggles who produced with bombast throughout the 80s and 90s (Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Seal, Yes), was able to turn it down a notch for the better-than-twee indie hipsters from Glasgow. And while I'm currently kind of tired of their sound - this album did play as soundtrack to much of the last ten years for me.
Listen, watch "I'm A Cuckoo"

Goldfrapp - Supernature [2006]
While Madonna's output of the decade mostly disappointed, and Britney's pop ingenuity was mostly overshadowed by her personal life - Goldfrapp delivered. If you're not familiar with Goldfrapp, think Madonna channelling Edith Piaf in a subterranean East Berlin discotheque in the late 70s.
Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory debuted in 2000 with the equally excellent "Felt Mountain" - which has a smoky caberet feel to it. But 2006 saw them crank it up and simplify to create some great grooves and moments of pop brilliance. There's nothing overly complex or thoughtful on this album, but it's laden with timeless sultry hooks that make you think about things to do when the lights turn off.
Listen, watch:
- "Number 1"
- "Ooh La La"


Laura Veirs - Saltbreakers [2007]
Let me start off this by saying that this really was the decade of Nonesuch records. You could pick any ten records that the label put out this decade and have a compelling list of great music...This is my first Nonesuch on the list, but more is to come.
That said, Seattlite geologist-turned-rocker Laura Veirs blew me away with "Saltbreakers" in 2007.
Laura's guitar playing reminds me of Bill Frisell: A clean sound with long sustains and drones....A lazy rhythm guitar that occasional forget that it's playing the lead. Laura's voice is almost conversational, especially in her enunciations. It has a disarming effect and makes you eager to hear each next confession within the album. There are no sleepers here: from the dreamy "To The Country" to the rollicking sing-along of the title track - each song captures your attention and imagination.

Очередной пост, посвященный статистике. Сегодня нашей темой является джаз (точнее, топ-100 тега jazz).

Just another one statistical post. Jazz is our field of research today (top-100 of the tag jazz, to be exact).

Сначала наше традиционное упорядочение по количеству прослушиваний и слушателей.

First of all, our traditional arrangement with respect to number of plays and number of listeners.








И тут, и там наиболее популярным исполнителем является Amy Winehouse (и, да, по личным соображениям я убрал из статистики Тома Уэйтса). Дальше начинается вполне классический джаз - Norah Jones, Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong и так далее.

In both cases the most popular artist is Amy Winehouse (and, yes, I supposed it would be correct to exclude Tom Waits from jazz stats). Then the things go more classical: Norah Jones, Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong and so on.




А вот так выглядит общая зависимость количества прослушиваний джазовых исполнителей от числа слушателей. Заметно, что чем правее, тем сильнее эта зависимость идет вверх. Таким образом, получается, что лидеры находятся на каком-то особенном положении у слушателей.

And that's the way, general dependence of playcount to number of listeners looks like. You can notice, it's bending upwards with growing number of listeners. So, that means, the leaders of our statistics are treated by listeners in a different way, than other artists.




Это также подтверждается графиком удельного числа прослушиваний (число прослушиваний делить на число слушателей для каждого исполнителя). Вообще, у джаза этот показатель оказался рекордно низким - в среднем 11 прослушиваний. Наибольший показатель у вездесущей Эми Уайнхаус - 32.

The graph of specific number of scrobbles (a playcount divided by number of listeners for each artist) confirms that notation. Surprisingly, jazz artists have very low specific scrobble number - 11 in average. Amy Winehouse has the highest one - 32.




Гистограмма лишь подтверждает печальный факт концентрации удельного числа прослушиваний вблизи рекордно низких значений, в целом по форме повторяя распределение для других жанров. Джаз умер?

The histogram just supports concentrating of specific number of scrobbles near very low values, repeating the histogram for other genres in general. Sad, but true. Is jazz dead?




Немного статистики по активности слушателей в рупорах исполнителей. Как видно из графика, какой-либо строгой зависимости числа сообщений в рупоре от числа слушателей не наблюдается. То, что более популярным исполнителям больше пишут, понятно и так. Кстати, Эми Уайнхаус я сюда не включил - взглянув на следующий график, вы поймете, почему.

Some stats about the user activity in shoutboxes. As one can see, there's no strict dependence of number of shouts to number of listeners. It's obvious, that more popular artists should get more shouts. By the way, Amy Winehouse isn't included here - see the next plot to understand why.




А вот зависимость числа сообщений в рупоре от удельного числа прослушиваний. Эми Уайнхаус и здесь лидирует, причем с шестикратным отрывом. Короче говоря, для джаза она - исполнитель, аномальный по всем параметрам) А вот если убрать Эми, то будет видно обнаруженое ранее явление: среднее удельное число прослушиваний является чем-то вроде барьера, разделяющего исполнителей с малым и с большим числом сообщений в рупоре. Посмотрим, что покажут другие жанры)

And here's the dependence of number of shouts in the shoutbox to specific number of scrobbles. Amy Winehouse takes the lead again, having six times more shouts than others. So, she's really anomalous for the jazz. And without Amy, the graph exhibits the property, found in previous research: average specific number of scrobbles behaves like a barrier, separating artists with few shouts from artists with lots of them. Let us see, what another genres would show us the next time)

P.S. Суммарное число прослушиваний в top-100 джаза - 348 миллионов.
The total playcount in jazz's top-100 is 348 millions.

Fri 10 Jul – North Sea Jazz Festival 2009

Yesterday we went to North Sea Jazz, I still stand by all the bitching I normally do about festivals and NSJ in particular, this experience only confirmed my prejudices (based on attending other festivals). Had I paid 83 euro's I would've been disappointed. 83 euros and then ask 50 cents for a program? WTF?!? 30 cents for a leak. € 2.30 for a beer. And then those big halls which to me just don't seem like places to enjoy music. When I came in, 15 minutes late for Bar Kokhba because of some guestlist hassle which luckily were fixed eventually, the room was full they told me with the advice to seek my entertainment elsewhere. Nice. Good thing I saw them twice already.

Anyway, I now know why I ignore these mega-happenings and will continue to do so. Yet, once inside the Yukon tent you can just think you're in a small venue and goddamn, what shows were ahead of us!

The Secret Chiefs 3 show was dedicated to Book Of Angels 2 which is a nice change to the 5 shows I've seen so far. They flew in Jason Schimmel on lead guitar and Wu Fei (zomg, teh cute!) on gu zheng (Chinese version of the Japanese koto) and vocals. The show was a blast! Ches was sitting in front of the band, with his back to us, like a conductor of the band who were in a circle around him. Unrehearsed but that rough edge only added to the spontaneity and fire of the show. Lengthy solo-spots to justify the presence on a jazz festival, all in all an amazing show!

I had a vague idea of checking out half an hour of Erykah Badu inbetween but I didn't do that, rather took in some fresh air and beer instead of succumbing to that silly zapmentality. The next performance was by John Zorn, Milford Graves, Bill Laswell and special guest Bill Frisell to replace Anthony Braxton who normally plays in this lineup. Graves entered the stage doing a weird African dance doing his scat vocals. He moved slowly behind his kit to start doing his great drumming. After a while Laswell entered, gained some weight since spinal meningitis got him down and looked healthier than he did in a while. That went on some more until Zorn entered with some more traditional and lyrical playing before he headed into more violent moods. Frisell is one of those people who can crash into any jam and just destroy. He's been on a mellow tip for some time but I hear he found his distortionpedal again lately. Tonight he provided some wonderful raw textures to the energy waves coming from the other three. They were even allowed an encore even though the tent did get a bit emptier over the course of the show (I guess people who got interested by seeing The Dreamers and Bar Kokhba Sextet were in for a surprise, in spite of all cliché'd 'musical terrorrist' promo blabber being written in the papers. I did catch some annoyed 'is this music?' expression on the faces from people leaving). Again this was a show where the drummer seemed in charge and the result was once again what you rightfully call 'a blast'.

My friend oslofish told me to make a list. :)
