Kaz, 2015.

When Hanukkah started, I posted a video from Jewish rapper A. To The D. It was when Kaz, my French-Jewish ginger art-school friend, took note and thanked me in return by posting The Rolling Stone’s “Beast Of Burden” with my name on it.

“Give me some recommendations. You always had great taste in music!” said Kaz. She, like the other girl in the previous post, was one of the very few of the opposite sex I have met who were very high on the musical taste food chain. We’re both elitist, eccentrist, and trendy. We follow magazines, street culture, design, and everything else awesome.

So when she took me to task, I had to deliver. I was happy to do so, especially for a ginger. I told her to give me a few and within the next day I sent her a list of recommendations. Usually in the past I traded mixtapes, CD’s, and this decade MP3’s, so by going a step back and merely giving someone a list would be the most efficient way and the least time-consuming than sending everything over. It was even more personal than her checking out what I have done on my Ω shows and Ω+ because it was direct contact.

I told her that by giving her a lot of these recommendations, I knew I risked giving more of myself away, yet it was the only way to get the point across. I also told her to take what she could from this. She may not resonate with some of what I had to offer, but if she took anything for personal use or inspiration and ideas for her works, then I did my job.

**********

Here’s was a list of what I thought she should go with:

Atari Teenage Riot. Been a fan of theirs since the Nineties. She once told me that her brother was a massive Skrillex fan. I told her to have him listen to 1995 and especially Burn Berlin Burn!because that was my Skrillex back then. Christoph De Babalon’s If You’re Into It… and Alec Empire’s Golden Foretaste Of Heaven and Shivers.

All French artists I ever listened to: Stereolab’s “Ping Pong” and “Miss Modular”, Air “Sexy Boy”, Nineties Daft Punk, Stereo Total’s “Lunatique”, “Bambi” and “Patty Hearst”, and anything Costes. (See what I did there?)

Hipster stuff I got my hands on including AIDS Wolf, Xiu Xiu, XRay Eyeballs’ Splendid Squalor, Carbonas, Parquet Courts, and Cold Cave “Confetti”.

Alternative and generational defaults: Sonic Youth Daydream Nation, Made In USA, Beastie Boys, Beck pre-Midnite Vultures, Swervedriver “You Find It Everywhere”.

Noise, yelling, and screaming courtesy of Pharmakon and Consumer Electronics’ Estuary English and “Murder Your Masters”. I also usually think about the last four Whitehouse records and Prurient’s Bermuda Drain as well.

Hip-hop in CX Kidtronik, SpaceGhostpurpp’s “Mystical Maze”, Hieroglyphics’ 3rd Eye Vision, Company Flow’s Funcrusher Plus, Cage’s For Your Box, Arsonists, Serengeti, Funkdoobiest, and Mantronix for the old-school win.

Suicide’s first record (1977). I ordered her to listen to it and consider where and when that first record happened. Also, I directed her to Eighties Cabaret Voltaire and Einsturzende Neubauten.

Of course, punk: Sex Pistols, Public Image Ltd.’s Album, The Buzzcocks, The Avengers, The Professionals (because Steve Jones). The Dead Boys’ “Sonic Reducer”, Captain Sensible & The Damned’s “Jet Boy Jet Girl”, The Cigarettes’ “You Were So Young”, Iceage, The Brainbombs, and The Fall’s Totale’s Turns.

The Italians Do It Better label. The L.I.E.S. label, too.

And, some wild cards because she’s all about the travel: Ninos Du Brasil (Brazil), Konono no. 1 (Zaire / Congo), Les Ralizes Denudes (Japan), Omar Souleyman (Syria).

Things I discovered and listened to in 2013 because she didn’t ask me last year: Beach Fossils’ “Youth”, Boards Of Canada Tomorrow’s Harvest, Crash Course In Science “Cardboard Lamb”, Disclosure “When A Fire Starts To Burn”, Farah “Gay Boy”, S.M. Nurse, Gold Panda “You”, IO Echo “Carnation”, Lauro Nyro “Buy And Sell” (something something cocaine something cocaine), Savages “Flying To Berlin”, and Toll “Radio Moscow”.

And finally, things I discovered and listened to in 2014 just in case she missed it: The Bug’s Angels & Devils, Atari Teenage Riot’s Reset, Function & Vatican Shadow’s Games Have Rules, Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti “Round And Round” “Kinski Assassin” “Fright Night (Nevermore)”, Perfect Pussy, Ron Morelli, End Of A Year / Self-Defense Family, Whirr, Night School, Purling Hiss, DIIV “Wait”, Grimes, XXYYXX s/t, Mono/Poly “Ra Rise” “Alpha & Omega”, Leapling “Seventeen”, L.I.E.S. presents Music For Shut-Ins, Neon Indian, Lee Ranaldo “Hammer Blows”, Panda Riot, Ringo Deathstarr, Sleaford Mods (she hates Brits but these two curse every other word like she does, so it’s funny), Daedelus, Small Black’s Moon Killer Mixtape, Suicideyear, Elite Gymnastics, Nite Jewel “Lover”, Arca “Thievery”, BNLX, Clark “Herr Bar”, Cloudface, Naomi Punk, and 18+.

**********

Yes, it was a lot for her to digest. I gave her as much as possible and kept it in the ‘realm of Kaz’. A day later, she did thank me for the list. Now, only time will tell what she’ll take out of this. For those reading this, be more than welcome to take what you can as well.
