oehh i wanna know 1 and 14

1. whats their “id” info (name, age, gender, nationality/origin planet, criminal record?)

you haven't specified which one so you're getting all of them

Toast is just me, tod, real human tod, having died in the year 2019. to quote an earlier post, "how did i die? kidnapped and allergic to octokittens. sneezed myself to death. nastya mechanized me so the crew could bully me about it Forever". age: 18. gender: god fuck if i know dude. he/they. nationality/origin planet: actual real earth california. criminal record: loving too much? also probably the knife murder eventually. they do have quite a lot of knives.

Dante, Probably is the aforementioned unnamed italian. age: mid-late 20s? let's go with 26 thats a nice number. gender: peacock, any pronouns. nationality/origin planet: just actual real earth italy in the late renaissance. criminal record: she did kill a man when he was mortal but dont worry about it. skilled grifter and art forger.

Shermie Todman is the poor little meow meow. age: about 17, but he looks 12. gender: "pale milksop," he/they. nationality/origin planet: unknown planet but somewhere with a dickinsian impression of london. criminal record: sometimes he is gripped by a sudden and innate need to bite things and sometimes those things are peoples arms and his teeth are made of metal so. a lot of crimes. he has fun

14. their theme song but it must be a mechanisms song

Toast- not just one song but the playlist of mechs music to make pasta to. i have no idea whwere it is but i know it exists

Dante, Probably- the guitar in 'Sunrise'. i can also picture them humming lotus eaters while they sew

Shermie Todman- the mechanisms leitmotif, as played in expert testimony. none of the smoothness that it has in udad, a little of the twang from hnoc. just. pure tomfuckery.

PROPHET MUHAMMAD (PBUH)’s BIOGRAPHY : The Birth of the Prophet

After Prophet Ibrahim, peace be upon him, his son Ismail, peace be upon him, lived a settled life here, and he had twelve sons. It was clear that his son Nabit was different from the others. The same kind of particularity could be seen in his son Yashjub, and this line of distinction passed down with Yarub, Tayrah, Muqawwim, Udad and Adnan. It was clear that this line had a special nobleness and a particularity that could carry the weight of Prophethood. The same special character of the Prophet’s forefathers to the twentieth degree could be well observed, after Adnan, Maad, Nizar, Mudar, Malik, Fihr, Ghalib, Luayy, Ka’b, Murra, Kilab, Qusayy (Zayd), Abdimanaf (Mughira), Hashim (Amr) and Abdul Muttalib (Shayba), and a light that was the indication of the Prince of the Universe could be seen on their foreheads.

Abdullah, the last son of Abdul Muttalib, was a monument of chastity. That’s why Abdul Muttalib loved him above all his children.

One day, Abdul Muttalib went to the leader of the Zuhra tribe, Wahb ibn Abdi Manaf, and told him that they were asking for the hand of Amina, who was an honorable girl of great lineage. After a short while Abdul Muttalib’s son Abdullah and Wahb’s daughter Amina got married, so a new family was formed.

Abdullah was a tradesman, and soon after his marriage, he went on a trade caravan. He became ill and died, and was buried in Medina. The inheritance he had left behind was five camels, some sheep and an Abyssinian slave girl by the name of Umm Ayman. When news of his death reached Mecca, the family of Abdul Muttalib was thrown into great grief. However, they had to be patient, for Amina was pregnant with the one, whose coming the whole world was eagerly awaiting.

Meanwhile, Abraha, the governor of Yemen at that time, gathered his army to destroy the Ka’ba in Mecca. However, his army was miraculously completely destroyed. Minds were blown away, and it was now clear to all that the Ka’ba built by Prophets Ibrahim and Ismail, peace be upon them, through prayer and physical efforts would never be destroyed. Now the world was getting ready to see the fruit of their prayer.

The date was 20 April 571. Around 50 days had passed after the incident with the elephants. The lunar calendar was showing the 12th of the month of Rabi al-awwal. It was a Monday. The dawn was about to break and a birth was taking place that would bring light to all darkness. With Amina were present Shifa, the mother of Abdurrahman ibn Awf, and Fatima, the mother of Uthman ibn Abi’l-As. Then the Last Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, whose good tidings had been sung for centuries, honored the world with his coming, with a very easy birth.

Word was sent immediately to Abdul Muttalib who was praying at the Ka’ba at the time. He hurried to the house. When he held the Light that the universe had been waiting for, his beard was washed with tears. The fatherless son of the son he loved most, the son of Abdullah, had now come to life and was looking at him with meaningful eyes. The mark between his shoulder blades had caught everyone’s attention; this was the mark of Prophethood of the Last Messenger as described by many religious scholars.

One thing about UDaD that I find absolutely hilarious is how Jonny's like "I bet you want to know Ulysses looks like? Well tough luck bud we don't know how they looked like ourselves" and then gives arguably the most detailed description of any characters in all the albums.

[ID: a digital drawing of the Toy Soldier as a centaur against a blank background. On the top of the image is text reading "If the Toy Soldier were a centaur", below it are two separate texts reading, from the left one to the right one "would it look like this?" / "or like this?". Under the left text is a drawing of the Toy Soldier as a centaur with black wooden horse body, painted with red, gold and white ornaments, and with visible gold screws where its joints are. It has a braid and one front leg raised, as if posing. Under the right text is another centaur Toy Soldier, this time smaller and with a lower half of a wooden rocking horse, in the same colors. It is t-posing and staring blankly in front of itself.

Do you ever have dumb jokes you can't get out of your head? Yeah.

we have been THINKING about mechanism Martin because the sheer Everything that can come from that and the fun little inversion of immortal monster Martin and very human Jon and here’s what me and Not Sam have been tossing around:

- someone had to get Ivy Alexandria, Von Raum, and La Cognizi out through 50 heavily armed guards and several layers of steel. Martin, a cruiser on the prison colony of Hel acting as a part of Sigyn’s insurgency, hears what’s going on and he wants Out

- too bad that necessitates having to listen to Marius fiddle in his FUCKING ear for a few decades

- but after Raphaella half-ways mechanizes his fingers and some of his nerves (which in and of itself is a Long Story) he’s able to practice giving little. Controlled. Shocks. every time Marius tries to start up near him. Marius may not have had Pavlov but he knows when he’s being conditioned. and Martin knows he’s Pavloving Marius. And they’re looking at each other. And Martin is slowly holding his hand up.

-Time shenanigans are going to have to take place for Martin to be mechanized the rest of the way but there’s a Lot of pain associated and Martin’s partial mechanization at the hands of Raphaella’s experiments means that he’s out for most of HNOC. When he comes too some dude with a drum is crying about a parking ticket for some reason? He can barely feel his fingers and his brain hurts. Martin takes a good 20 year nap.

- The first conflict he’s dropped into is with Hereward and he’s still a young immortal so he of course falls head over heels. and Hereward similarly falls head over heels for Him. Marriage, another rebellion for Martin, and then- Hereward dies. Martin, disillusioned with eternal life, swears to never love a mortal again

- this is helped because during UDAD Ashes forgets to unplug Martin from the Acheron after he helps them hack it and he spends like 50 years helping to power the city, leaving him just a Little Scrambled afterward

- this is difficult because he’s the Mechanisms’ glorified PR guy.

- He still hates theatre but maybe the musical cabaret stuff grows on him a Little. He’d rather shoot himself than admit this to Jonny. Even if he does fight regularly with Jonny over possession of the harmonica

- the never loving mortals thing is also complicated by the fact that, after being dropped on Earth to scout out the newest possible story, the Archival staff endear themselves to him and he falls for Jon. Dammit.

art time! here are two of my ocs from this little steampunk roleplay server I run on Discord! Their names are Allen and Alan, because they are technically the same model of robot. Allen is a media-based propaganda robot with hypnotic abilities who was built by the Big Evil Capitalist company to brainwash the people of the city, New Avidion. Alan is a defective model who was given a sort of magic shapeshifter serum as an experiment and turned into a sort of nightmare robot creature, who enacts the will of the company on a more.. direct level. Here’s a little playlist for them I’m still expanding! https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBj_VmDcveHi9-_o6LWZftkCXd2XhnyYc I’m totally open to questions and might start a little ama thing if people are interested i just wanna talk about my ocs man

Management of COVId 19 with the active participation of eminent, experienced AYUSH practitioners

CORONA affected cases may be categorised and managed as follows :

A. General population management for prevention (already covered in Stage 1 &2

B. Quarantined Peoples Not tested positive,

1. High Risk – These patients should be treated by medicines already described in Part 1 & 2 with proper pathyapathya.

High risk groups patients suffering from co-morbidities should be treated for these problems

Rasayana drugs for challenged organs

2. Low Risk Group – (PREVENTIVE CARE) – use of Sudarshan Ghana Vati, ShanshamaniVati, NaradiyaLaxmi Vilas Rasa<tribhuvanKirti Rasa. Shilajeet , abhrak bhasma, vishana bhasma, 64 prahari pippal, pipplyasava, amrit bhallaka can be used if required

C. Tested positive,

1. Asymptomatic –

2. Mildly Symptomatic – (CLINICAL CARE),

3. Tested Positive: Full blown but no serious complications – (SUPPORTIVE CARE) can be managed in modern hospitals as an add on therapy

4. Full blown disease with complications –these patients should be treated under the supervision of ICU staff only. Proper rejuvenation of the active patients of CVD 19 as their vital organs have been challenged and become susceptible to various diseases in future.

D. Recovery Phase:

1. Tested Negative – After recovery as per modern diagnostic tools which means the swab culture test negative with recovering of major respiratory symptoms the patients may be categorised by Doctors as cured should be followed for at least 45 days and provided Rasayana therapy and organ specific Rasayana so that the organs specially lungs recover fully and patient does not relapses as is happening in China.

2. Residual disabilities and dysfunctions

3. Prevention of recurrence in recovered cases with emphasis on lifestyle, food habits, exercise and yoga for building up immunity. Rasayan therapy for revitalization of organs(REHABILITATIVE CARE).

Emphasis on general immunity to fight any communicable or even non-communicable disease in any way is necessary as a long term measure. These have to be followed strictly to avoid recurrence in disease-free cases

Clinical classification based on presentation of symptoms is more important because some patients present with gastrointestinal symptoms, some with upper respiratory symptoms and some with lower respiratory symptoms, some also have skin eruptions, myalgia and arthralgia

To train the ayurveda fraternity for fighting the “Janpadodhvasa” by classical measures to prevent the Jala, Vayu, Desha and Kala Dushti

Lot of knowledge and understanding regarding the process of Janapadodhwnsa is available for which Ayurvedic graduates should be trained vigorously. Most of these regimens are common for all endemics, epidemic and pandemics hence students for these measures should be trained. They should be trained to follow :

a. Nidanaparivarjan – Preventive measure – personal, social global

b. Apakarshan – General and disease specific

c. Prakriti Vighata – Use of Rasayana to make the target organ more resistant to onslaught of disease

Conducting research projects under proper protocols with ethical and legal clearance

Common cough (Kasa)

Common cough with fever

Common cough with nasal discharge

Cough with cold and low grade fever with allergic rhinitis

N Corona 19

Sashlema kasa

With angamarda

Productive cough

With low grade fever and kasa Productive cough

With low grade fever Nasal discharge and cough

cough and severe running nose itching with low grade fever

Anosmia, tonsillitis, sore throat

Fever

Cough

shortness of breath.

sputum production

Headache

Myalgia/ Arthralgia

Diarrhoea

abdominal pain

disease may progress to pneumonia, multi-organ failure, and death.

Integrative considerations during the COVID-19 pandemic

Diagnosing COVID19 affected patients in Ayurvedic perspective is an expert’s job. Ayurveda emphasizes on holistic approach with equal or even more consideration of the host, i.e. the patient. The Agni (digestive power), the bodily strength, the mental strength play an important role in the recovery of patients.

Janapadodhwansa(Pollution particularly of atmosphere causing single disease to all), Sankramaka diseases(spreading from person to person), Agantuja jwara, Vatakaphaja jwara, Sannipatika jwara are few conditions described in the texts match to certain extent in these cases.

Though Ayurvedic treatment is personalised, some protocols can be decided with probable Ayurvedic diagnosis based on above mentioned conditions.

In addition, Diet regimen has to be followed as per Ayurvedic principles.

Even while following conventional treatment, Ayurvedic diet regimen should be followed, along with Yoga practices for combating stress and depression.

In short, Ayurvedic practitioners should actively participate in the treatment of COVID 19 infected patients.

Experience of living in different cities

In my life of more than 7 decades, I have lived in some 8 cities starting from Ahmedabad, Pilani, Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Yokohama( Japan), Muscat (Oman) and Bangalore, in that order. I will make an attempt to pen down the “trivial”, but not so common, features of my experience.

I was brought up in Ahmedabad from 1954 to 1967, which were mostly my student days. We lived on the outskirt of the city and our society of bungalows was surrounded by open fields where still farming was going on. Other than school and college, I was busy playing different games with my neighbors. I enjoyed Gujarati snacks and would take extra efforts to get them. Our neighbors were very kind and did not complain of our cricket or other games played anytime of the day. City had a very good bus service and it was our main transport. Our bungalow had a few tenants like us but it did have a problem of water and sewage. Water supply was short and erratic, and septic tank sometime spilt over. We loved the festival of Navratri ( Garba/Dandia) and kite flying on Makarsankrant.

I shifted to BITS, Pilani hostel for five years from 1967. The change from day scholar to hostel life was huge. I could do what I wanted and when I wanted (freedom) except class attendance. Other than academic pursuit, I was able to indulge in sports/games. I learnt how to play basket ball, table tennis and contract bridge. I improved my ability to play carom, cricket and hockey. Being confined to the campus for a couple of months at a stretch, I enjoyed food in the mess and also outside at Nutan market/dhabas. I was introduced to black (udad) dal, lemon rice, mawa mutter, stuffed parathas and stuffed capsicum/tomato in the mess. Outside the campus got to taste Titar (partridge), reportedly a banned bird. I was bombarded by Hindi movies as every Saturday a movie was screened for students. I probably saw more than 125 movies in BITS in five years, compared to less than 20 movies seen earlier. Initially the old movies were screened in 16 mm in a quadrangle of the main building but later new movies in 35 mm in a huge auditorium. Once in a while, we escaped the campus life to see late night movie in a makeshift shed called Jayashree talkies.

After graduation in 1972, I lived in South Delhi till the late 70’s, initially as a bachelor and then a family man. Major problem of Delhi was public transport as I did not own a vehicle then. City bus (DTC), autorikshaw or yellow taxi were most unreliable and the operators ( drivers and conductors) most non-cooperative and rude. My wife, who joined me from Bombay, was most shocked as she compared this scene with BEST of Bombay. I did not face much problem as I used a contract bus to go to office. As a bachelor, I used to join others on most Saturday night’s for a party. The liquor law did not permit drinking in public so we sometime managed to cross into Haryana (Faridabad) and consumed beers and chicken. Returning after the fling was not a problem as “drive after drinks “was not an offence. In Delhi, we enjoyed different types of food –Punjabi and Chinese. Our favorite places were Lajpatnagar market, M block market in GKI, Narulas and Hongkong in GKI. Most tasty samosa was made by a small vendor in East of Kailash A block market. At residence, we faced water shortage and had to cook on kerosene stove.

We shifted to Bombay in early 80’s and lived there for 8 years. Biggest difference was a moderate summer compared to Delhi and very efficient city transport whether bus, taxi or autorikshaw. We also enjoyed the sea and its beeches- Girgaon, Dadar, Juhu and Malad. We, however, had to face some water shortage. We once again were able to enjoy street food like batata vada, Frankie, bhel etc. We also loved Irani café menu of maska pav, kheema pav, baida( egg) roti etc. We started going to Marathi plays often and enjoyed the change from Hindi movies. I got to own a flat in 1982 and a Bajaj scooter in 1984. That made life easy.

We moved to Pune in the mid 80’s for a brief period and are staying there till date (more than 20 years) except our breaks to go to Japan, Oman and Bangalore. In first phase, we got to live in a bigger place, owned our own Premier Padmini car and telephone line at residence, all thanks to Thermax, my employer. The major sigh of relief was water availability and good round the year weather-moderate summer, monsoon and winter. These advantages remain even today. Pune offered the advantages of a village and city. Distances were short and day out picnic spots in the surrounding hills were approachable and affordable. I got introduced to music (performing arts) of all kinds –classical, light, gazal, filmy and non filmy. I was able to attend live performances of stars like Pt. Jasraj, Kaushiki Chakravarty, Shaunak Abhisheki, Hariharan, Raghunandan Panashikar, Jagjiy Singh, Alka Yagnik, Shankar Madhavan,Shaan, Sarod by Amjad Ali, dances by Hema Malini, Minakshi Sheshadri. Also new upcoming stars like Vibhavari Joshi Apte, Hrishikesh Ranade.Pune reintroduced us to Lord Ganesh and we love the ten day special festival of Ganpati. I was and am able to indulge in outdoor activities like walking, swimming and going to hills. We got introduced to YOGA-pranayam, Omkar, suryanamskar etc. We do it regularly even today. Our health received a boost as we got to know more about homeopathy medicines as my wife has seen lot of benefits to this alternative therapy. I was able to afford and enjoy different cuisines. My membership of a club once again enabled me to see a Hindi movie every week. Since it was free, one had the luxury to walk out of un-interesting movie without feeling guilty.

We moved to Yokohama, Japan during the 90’s. The change was huge-from “stone” age of Pune, India to space tech level in Yokohama,Japan. The weather was excellent and all the utilities-water, piped gas, electricity and land line were reliable and affordable. First time we used a Microwave oven and rice cooker with a timer. Only my daughter’s international school fee was a huge dent on my pocket but she had the best quality of education. We got initiated into Japanese food and loved visiting China Town for authentic Chinese cuisine. My daughter enjoyed the American fast food at McDonald’s and Pizzas at Shakey’s. Surprisingly there were more than fifty Indian restaurants in Tokyo area and we loved the Naan served there. The public transport (bus, train, taxi) was reliable, clean and convenient even for foreigners like us despite the language hurdle. We also enjoyed a ride on the famous bullet train (called Shinkansen) from Yokohama to Kyoto (400 kms). Like Japanese people, we also started visiting and appreciating the nature in the hills near Yokohama including hot springs and Mt. Fuji. We were surprised and shocked to find all public places-footpath, roads, stations, bus stops and toilets were spotlessly clean (clean like home). Another surprise was that weather forecast was very reliable and available in the lift lobby of the buildings. Being an island country, it would rain any time and this forecast helped. We also got introduced to huge superstores and malls. Some malls were part of railway stations e.g. Yokohama. We also got to know the vending machine culture of Japan. Many daily required items (soft drinks, coffee, tea, snacks, milk, beer, cigarette etc) could be purchased from vending machines which were all over- on footpath, near stations, lift lobbies, parks etc.Even train tickets were on a vending machine. We also made our first visit to entertainment parks like Disneyland. We also got used to the deep tub (OFURO) bath that Japanese used to keep warm during winter. I got introduced to Sumo, the Japanese wrestling and professional baseball.

We moved to Muscat, Oman for two and a half years in the late 90’s. Other than the high temperatures (summer could be + 50 Deg C), the life was very enjoyable. Oman was an exception in the Middle East and it honored Indians and Hindus. The biggest hurdle to mobility was a driving license and I got it fast luckily. I was glad to drive around in a Camry, poor person’s Mercedes. We were regular visitors to 200 year old Shiva temple and newly built Krishna temple, both built and managed by kutchi community. We were able to buy Indian vegetables and fruits easily and reasonably priced. There was easy access to Indian restaurants and street food. We got introduced to Kerala paratha (laccha paratha) and some tandoori roti from Pakistani outlets. We got introduced to Lebanese cuisine and we loved it. We could go out for dinner, which also offered Indian music or Egyptian belly dance. We were privileged to see Hindi movies on Thursday night, a day before they were released in Mumbai. We were able to drive down to Dubai in 4 hours (400 Kms) and enjoy the shopping. Driving was a pleasure as all had to follow the traffic rules and they were followed. Muscat had lovely road side greenery and flowers, and they were maintained with great efforts. Muscat airport restaurant was open for non-muslims during Ramadan and that was a big relief.

After retiring from a Pune company in 2012, I took a short assignment in Bangalore. We were lucky to stay in huge residential complex in Whitefield. First time in our life, we stayed in high rise building on the 11th floor. We enjoyed the famous Bangalore weather but had to face mosquito menace. The complex had a zero water requirement as it treated and re-circulated most of the sewage. It, however, gave a bad smell in parking area (basement). We had to bear bad water quality. We used aqua guard treated water for cooking and bought Bisleri for drinking. The water quality also reflected in poor quality of green vegetables. Another problem we faced was traffic jams- it took almost 90 minutes from our residence to reach the airport. Most facilities in our area were catering to IT crowd and hence it was re-adjustment for us.

In conclusion, I can say that present day life style is a mixture of what we picked up from different cities. Ironically my wife always wanted and wants things from the cities we left behind. For example, she wants palak, green peas and fulgobi (vegetables) from Delhi, Fish from Mumbai, Farsan from Ahmedabad, Miso soup and Yakisoba from Japan, Mysore pak from Bangalore. These small things keep us connected to the cities we had lived in.

Musikåret 2016

Det forgangne år synes jeg for alvor har vist, at uretfærdighed, ligestilling, patriakalsk konservatisme og menneskehedsforbrydelser for alvor er sat på tapetet i populærmusikkens, for nogen at se, ellers normalvise forandringsangst over for progressivitet og politiske udtalelser. Men heldigvis ser man, hvordan, der især blandt sorte amerikanske kunstnere er vokset en afsky over for systemets rigiditet og manglende stillingtagen, hvilket indikerer, at noget er begyndt at bløde op på den musikalske scene. Glem nu bare for en tid, hvad der måtte være bestemt for det at være enten mand eller kvinde, men gør, hvad der passer én. Glem rammerne. Hvis Jenny Hval, Dev Hynes, Frank Ocean, Beyoncé, PJ Harvey, Kendrick Lamar, ANOHNI, A Tribe Called Quest, YG, Solange og Kanye West alle siger nej til denne hadske indstilling over for verdens forandringer, så må der da for fanden være noget om det. Verden kan godt rumme forskellighed. Der er ingen andre udveje. Og så havde vi David Bowie ét af mine største idoler, der pludseligt går bort. Ære være hans minde.

De 25 bedste

25.

BADBADNOTGOOD / IV

Vi lægger ud med et band, der for mig at se må være 2016s største jazz-åbenbaring. På en juni eftermiddag i halvlunkent vejr og med tømmermænd til langt over det tilladte åbenbarede der sig en behagelig sitren rundt i min krop. Det var til BADBADNOTGOODs liveoptræden på dette års Roskilde Festival, hvor det gik op for mig, hvor meget jazz egentlig kan betyde for mit humør, og lige på det tidspunkt var det som vejret mildnede op. Med lidt hjælp fra den energiske trommeslager og samtidige frontfigur Alexander Sowinski fik de mejslet fast, hvor langt de egentlig kunne komme rundt i hver en krog af deres genremmæssige repetoire, dog med en rytmisk bas/trommesalger soulede som rygrad. Der blev både rystet et finurligt Adele cover ud af ærmet og en fantastisk crescendoopbygget version af Kaleidoscope fra deres forrige plade. Men bedst af alt det måske mest jazzy og vilde titelnummer fra deres seneste nummer bare kaldet “IV”. Og med titelnummeret som afsæt blev jeg hurtigt sulten efter mere, og vupti var pladen der. Som ren massage for øregangende. Passer som fod i hose til en søvnig søndag morgen.

24.

Kanye West / Life Of Pablo

Manden, Guddommen, den genfødte Jesus, og hvad han nu ellers betegner sig som har atter engang gjort alvor af disse sammenligninger på dette bevidst beskidte, ufiltrerede og uperfekte ego-opus. Om egoet er begyndt at æde ham inde fra kunne noget begynde at tyde på - taget i betragtning af en vis uheldig liveoptræden - men han formår at bevare en musikalsk integritet ved gang på gang at skabe mainstream-rap, der flytter grænser og til stadighed eksperimenterer hen mod områder, der endnu ikke er udforsket. Det ultimative orgie føles uopnåeligt i hans verden.

23.

Kevin Morby / Singing Saw

Ja, ja. Nuvel han lyder umiskendeligt som Bob Dylan eller Leonard Cohen gjorde i 60erne og 70erne, men han skaber alligevel en stil mellem americanaen, soulen, folken og mexicansk mariachi for dens sags skyld - som mere lyder af det moderne end hans musikalske forbilleder. Og netop denne blanding fungerer som en bundærlig rød tråd mellem smukke melodier og lyrik, der er en fyr som Mark Kozelek værdig.

22.

James Blake / The Colour In Everything

Helende i et spektrum af det brutale ingenting og et effektivt verdensbillede, der drejer rundt om egen pandelap giver det næsten én lyst til at hoste - navlepillende! - men hans fortrolighed til egen vokal og dets maskinelt åbne vidder støder sammen i en effektivt instrumenteret simplicitet og kreerer et subtilt værk, der måske mest advokerer til hentydninger og lader realiseringerne ligge, hvilket dog alligevel ender med at blive pladens fordel. Tomrummet kan bestemt også være godt.

21.

A Tribe Called Quest / We Got It From Here... Thank You 4 Your Service

Som kommet ud af ingenting viser den genforenede stamme, hvordan de påny kan løfte sig ud af deres egen arv og stadig vise, at deres budskaber om at samle sig og ikke finde sig i noget er lige så evigtgyldige, som de var i deres velmagtsdage i starten af 90erne. Kalejdoskopisk intrigant og formfuldtendt i dets politiske uomtvisteligheder.

20.

The Avalanches / Wildflower

Det sample-fro makkerpar er som malere, der pensler hele farveskalaen på et spændt lærred, der virker som filmiske tablauer, tegneseriefantastiske fortællinger om fabelvæsener, der får lov at sprede sine vinger i solskinsbilleder og andre eventyrlige drømme. Deres tilbagevenden føles kærkommen og, hvis ikke lige så behagelige og nostalgiske bekendskab som forgængeren, så har mindre hermed bevist også at kunne gøre sig gældende. Uden tvivl et af sommeren 2016s mest vellydende og stemningsmættede musikalske oplevelser.

19.

Palace Winter / Waiting For The World To Turn

Nej, det er ikke The War On Drugs. Selvom det lyder sådan. Kald det en erstatning for ét af mine yndlingsplader fra dette årti Lost In The Dream, men jeg synes dog Palace Winter slipper godt fra det og alligevel har noget særskilt at byde på. Frem for alt en helstøbt plade med nogle numre, der passer perfekt til mit tempo på cykelstierne.

18.

Vellnessplader / Vellness Mixtape Vol. 2 og 3

Shit en dynamit af musikalske spidsfindigheder de drenge leverer. Såvel live som i studiet. Og fuck det er fedt. Metapoppet, hipster-ironisk og teenage-naivt som bare fanden. Og det fungerer. Endda bedre end det lyder på papiret. Tag bare acts som Sjæl I Flammer, Franske Piger, Hong Kong eller Ecstasy In Order, der alle fremstår underligt ens, men så alligevel er helt deres egne. De tager nok i virkeligheden ikke det hele så skide højtideligt, og det er det, der gør kollektivets produktioner så pisse fede !

17.

Beyonce / Lemonade

Queen B er blevet kvinde. En respektindgydende, larmende og konsekvent en af slagsen på én og samme tid. Med en særlig bevidst indgangsvinkel til forbilledligt mange forskellige genrerblandinger slår hun fast, at hun mere end nogensinde før er et dugfriskt politisk eksempel på, at de sorte amerikaneres rettigheder (i stil med mange andre sorte kunstnere det forgangne år) er ukrænkelige og ikke er nogen man sådan uden videre bare kan træde på.

16.

Liss / First

Jeg var ikke tvivl om, at de havde det i sig, og at de kunne leve op til forventningerne tager jeg hatten af for ! Jeg har altid drømt om at være håbløs fan af et boyband, og i år blev det indfriet. Nok har forsanger Søren Holm en stemme, der er nem at lave sjov med, men samtidig er det også noget af det, der gør bandet til helt sit eget. For det synes jeg netop de beviser på denne EP - med bare fire funkede og ekstremt catchy popmelodier. At de selvfølgelig står på skuldrene af en let tilgængelig indie-popbølge, men også tilføjer en energi og friskhed, jeg ikke har følt siden, MØ udgav “Maiden” og “Pilgrim” for 4 år siden. Det er et originalt bud på genreudvidende, dansabel og sjælelig popmusik inden for den ellers noget skabelonagtige firkantethed man finder i radiobasker-poppen. Jeg har kun én ting at sige til de fire aarhusianske gutter: jeres succes er fuldt fortjent.

15.

Weyes Blood / Front Row Seat To Earth

Natalie Mering eller Weyes Blood laver musik til de emotionelle dele i livet. Sommetider er jeg blevet så opslugt af hendes univers, at jeg kan blive helt tvivl, hvorvidt hendes sange er mere fantasi end virkelighed. Særligt “Do You Need My Love”, “Generation Why” og “Diary” er mesterstykker i sig selv, hvor instrumenteringen bevæger sig mellem 60′ernes singer-songwriter lyd og noget entydigt moderne, der dog alligevel i kombination med hinanden evner at give svært god mening. Og netop her er det hendes måde at skabe intime rum i musikken, der gør pladen så yderst elskværdig at lytte til. For hun kan komme foruroligende tæt på lytteren med hendes rigtfavnende og fløjlsbløde stemme, der dog i sidste ende helt kan ændre ansigt over mod det mystiske og uigennemskuelige. Og lige dér i det krydsfelt opstår det magiske og dragende.

14.

Jessy Lanza / Oh No

Hvis nogen måtte fortjener betegnelsen ‘dronningen af fremtids R&B’, så må det være canadiske Jessy Lanza - begrundet med hendes lyse vokal, der skærer lydbilledet i distinkte collager mellem koniske electronica-synths, spidse trommemaskiner og kompakte baslinjer. Sammenlignet med debuten - og for mig at se nyklassikeren Pull My Hair Back fra 2013 - mestrer hun atter engang balancegangen mellem det komplekse og det næsten vanskeligt simple til perfektion, hvilket er det, der gør hendes særegne R&B blanding ikke desto mindre beundringsværdig.

13.

Bisse / Højlandet

Eftertænksomt, smågenialt, men stadig helt ude af tangent, hvor tingene heldigvis gør lidt ondt. Og det skal der eddermame også til engang imellem. Inderst inde har vi alle afarter af samme drøm. Drømmen om samhørighed, tolerance og venligsind mellem os alle. Hvem ønsker ikke det? Fri for kontroverser, så vi i stedet kan koncentrere os om at få verdenshjørnerne til at forene sig og leve lykkeligt til vore dages ende. Eller hvad? Samfundsdebattøren og den lyriske magiker, skeptikeren og optimisten på én og samme tid, manden med fremtiden i sin hule hånd, Bisse himself, har endnu engang undergået hamskifte og påny smeltet kunsteriske metaller sammen til endnu en fascinerende fortælling om hans egen selvkritik, verdensbillede indad- og udad til og ikke mindst udvidet farvepaletten til et stadigt større repetoire af referencerammer og genremæssige spændvidder, der nu også tæller en tilgang til popmusikken, der for undertegnedes vedkommende ikke synes at være hørt før. Et musikalsk svendestykke af de helt store tør jeg vist sige. Portrættet er simpelt, men under den berømte “overflade” strømmer tanker om liv og død, kærligheden til sit eget selvbillede - og publikummets for så vidt også. M.a.o. giver han et både forargende og fængslende snapshot af popkulturens aller værste skyggesider. Og ikke mindst hans egen personlige angst for livets sidste kapitel.

12.

Angel Olsen / My Woman

En kvinde, der ved hvor hun vil hen og er endt med at blive en selvsikker rock’n roll chick, som ikke nøjes med det halve, men hvis hun siger det - vil kysses og får det hele. Åbneren “Intern” skaber grundlag for et helt nyt øjeblik i hendes allerede sprudlende diskografi, hvor synths får lov at introducere en kærkommen udvikling og ikke mindst en coolness, der i den grad skinner igennem på “Shup Up Kiss Me”, der demonstrativt viser, hvilket nyt kapitel hun er sprunget ind, hvor hun ikke længere finder sig i noget. Hun bevarer dog stadigt sin knugende sensibilitet, hvilket da kun gør hendes følelsers vold endnu stærkere. Hendes introspektive cocktail af smerte og angst gør pladen til en intens oplevelse, der især viser sig på anden halvdel af pladen, hvor særligt “Sister” markerer sig med sin stærke nerve og fastholdelse af lytteren i et hårdt kommunikativt drama, der til sidst kulminerer i en eskapistisk guitarimplosion af alt kraft hun måtte have tilbage i kroppen. Kærligheden gør os destruktive og det kan være udtømmende, men for det meste munder det også udi nye erkendelser, men er ikke nødvendigvis mere lettende. Enden på det hele slutter som oftest brat. Og det formår i den grad at fremstille på My Woman, hvor hun atter beviser sine kunstneriske evner helt ud til det sidste.

Whitney / Light Upon The Lake

De übersøde charmetrolde leverede et mindre mirakel på sidste års Roskilde festival - og det med rette. Med forskellige baggrunde i de amerikanske indiekredse har de respektive bandmedlemmer sat en lille musikperle i søen i form af denne debut med referencer til det simple liv i naturen. Og dette harmonerer fuldt ud både den optimisme, der er til at spore, men også med de små ballader om livets svære stunder, hvilket samlet set fuldbyrder drømmen om popmusik, der rimer på både hjerte og smerte.

Kendrick Lamar - untitled unmastered.

På trods af at have udgivet et af nyere tids største hip-hop værker viser udgivelsen af selv B-sider og demoer at være af høj kvalitet i sig selv. En stor genre-variation, der dog placerer sig tættest på jazzens tilbagelænethed, men indeholder også den klubbede “untitled 02″ eller tredelte “untitled 07″, der starter som en banger, for så at forvandle sig til en politisk vækkelse, mens den sidste del har form af en jam, som kredser om sex i flere afskygninger, herunder den cartesianske tankegang om en dualisme mellem krop og sjæl. Udgivelsen fremstår m.a.o. som en helstøbt samling numre, der nok bør ses som en lillesøster til To Pimp A Butterfly, hvilket dog ikke svækker dets egen enkeltstående kvaliteter, men bør i stedet roses for dets kompleksitet og visionære tyngde. Jeg mener, at det med al tydelighed kan mærkes, hvordan mesterkemikeren Lamar sigter mod kreativitetens guldåre, der indimellem når helt ind til kernen som med den bossa-nova vukkende “untitled 06.” eller det skizofrent snøvlende præludium af et indgangsnummer.

Choir Of Young Believers / Grasque

Et følelsesbrusende værk, der puster støvet væk fra popklenodiernes tid i et sammensurium af 80er og 90er referencer. Pludseligt står Makrigianis’ tidligere alber tilbage som en smule patetiske, hvor han på Grasque i stedet præsenterer et forfriskende melodiøst skatkammer af sprogeksperimenterende kærlighedslyrik, bombastiske (var der nogen, der sagde olympiskmastondonttunge) stortrommeslag og syleskarpe synthesizerrum. Lyrikken er rammende, personlig og ikke mindst forfjamskende overbevisende - og så synger han denne gang også på dansk.

Blood Orange / Freetown Sound

Britiske Dev Hynes hiver os ind i en fortælling, der viser sig at bevæge sig mellem absolut intime romantiske dramaer og store strukturelle tematikker som race, fremmedfjendskhed og forfølgelse af minoriteter. Det gør pladen til et komplekst spil af ømhed og politisk fortvivelse, og så ovenikøbet viklet ind i lige dele dansable, funky og indadvendte fortællinger om verdens undertrykkende væsen.

KAYTRANADA / 99,9%

Lige siden udgivelsen har jeg haft svært ved ikke at holde armene oppe. En mere seværdig måde at servere et frisk bud på dansemusikken anno 2016 er svær at finde. De livsglade numre har sommeren igennem været en fast humørspreder og kan varmt anbefales i samvær med mange mennesker og eksotiske drinks. Vil man have hip-hop eller R&B går man den ene vej, latinske rytmer en anden, jazz en tredje og de dybe, vibrerende glasklare basgange en fjerde.

David Bowie / Blackstar

Et sidste og omsiggribende farvel fra mit største idol. Overmennesket, der som personaen Major Tom nu er på vej mod sorte stjerner langt væk fra en verden, som ikke længere tæller dette kuriøse under af en mestermusiker, hvis musikalske samtidige jeg sætter evig stor pris på at have kendt til i mit stadig korte liv.

Solange / A Seat At The Table

I snart mange år har lillesøster Knowles stået i skyggen af sin storesøster. Men dette er der nu rodet bod på. Ved at sætte ord på en stadigt eksisterende skyggetid i USAs historie ud fra en sort kvindes synsfelt i året 2016 får man syn for sagen med tekster om alt lige fra tidligere tiders grusomheder til nutidens begivenheder med modsætninger som sorg og vrede, hvilket i sidste ende falder tilbage på drømmen om at alle uanset hudfarve får lov at have magten over egen krop. Udfaldet er formentlig at rejse debatten til en dybere personlig fortælling, der efter adskillige politidrab mod sorte de sidste mange år, bør ses som en konstruktiv hentydning til de højere magter. Et værk med en paradoksal blanding af tonstunge dilemmaer og fjerlette melodier jeg ikke vidste, jeg havde brug for - men som både er triumferende, ildevarslende og enerverende ypperligt.

ANOHNI / HOPELESSNESS

En cellulær udforskning i menneskehedens metamorfose og beskaffenhed, der viser sig helt ud til verdens udkanter og hvordan det i nutidens lys indbefatter nogle af dødens mest forfærdelige ansigter. En vulkansk vævning mellem den største foragt og skuffelse over et kapitel af verdenshistorien hun indtil videre har oplevet gennem livet og samtidige skarpskårede kritik, der ligger i, hvordan jordens boblende møde med dets egen undergang snart kan være en realitet. På den anden side fornemmes et blidt og tankefuldt optimistisk tag på det vi så inderligt bliver nødt til at passe på før denne gruopvækkende og ulmende udvikling for menneskeheden kan vise sig at eksplodere i dets egen krigsmagma, politikkerpopulisme og overvågningstyranni til en rædselsvækkende apokalypse. Et dybt betagende værk, der undervejs giver mange klumper i halsen, nærvær og hjertebanken, men også en sitrende indsigt i ens position på den klode, vi alle bor på.

Frank Ocean / Blonde

Kan kanoniseres som et R&B værk af en anden verden. Hvor de andres kreative personaer ikke længere rækker, da findes Frank Ocean ude i en ubetrådt galakse helt for sig selv. What more to say?

Radiohead / A Moon Shaped Pool

Evighed synes at have været formgiveren på mit favoritbands niende studiealbum. Det giver sig bl.a. til udtryk ved, at de udgiver numre, der næsten har lige så mange år på bagen, som jeg er gammel. Evigheden udfolder sig ved en særlig fornemmelse for tekster, der som verdensrummet er stort kredser om vores egen undergang og mareridt, og om vi vil det eller ej, viser sig i form af klimaets hurtigt udløbne holdbarhedsdato, hvilket i sidste ende kommer til at kvæle menneskehedens respiration og faunaens overlevelse og krige som ingen hverken vinder eller taber. Det kommer snarere til at skabe evigt større splid med ragnarok som følgevirkning. Den mere end tyve år gamle “True Love Waits” binder paradoksalt nok pladen sammen med et frisk pust af aversion mod livet. Og det føles besynderligt nok livsbekræftende.

Jenny Hval / Bloodbitch

Det nu sjette udspil fra den norske troldkvinde stadfæster atter engang Hval som ét af de mest funklende eksempler på avant-garde feminismens frontkvinder. Resultatet Bloodbitch er et konceptalbum med den saftigste blanding af kvindelige vampyrer og menstruation, hvor blodet kan forstås ud fra gysergenrens forgudelse af den rødelige væskes effektive ekstremitet, men også menneskets biologiske trafikkryds, der aldrig formår at gøre kvindekønnet fri fra sin medfødte reproduktionsevne. Og det måske mest inciterende ved pladen er netop lyrikkens mange poetiske tigerspring mod en særlig sfære af metaforer. Billedliggørelser på blodets tveæggede sværd. En romance og kamp mellem kvindens eget selvbillede indadtil som udadtil, hvilket gør pladen til et stærkt personligt portræt af menneskelig tvivlen på sig selv. Det er afgjort den mest sanselige og fascinerende fortælling om blod og alle dets kreative periferier, jeg længe har hørt. Hun vælger at omforme vores ide om subjektiviteten til et opgør med vores egen tiltrækning og frastødelse af os selv og i stedet se det hele som en kreativ proces. Sådan skal det være !

I betragtning :

Anderson Paak / Malibu og NxWorries - Yes Lawd!

Et fuldstændig uforståeligt kreativtgivende år for en kunstner, der årerne forinden kun havde nogle få mindre vellykkede plader på CV’et og en fortid som hjemløs blandt meget andet. Et omtumlet liv, der endelig viser sit udbytte for i form af at være præsenteret på stort set alle urbane udgivelser, der har været værd at lytte til det forgangne års tid. Mailbu og Yes Lawd er de to bedste eksempler, hvor hans talent for alvor får lov at skinne igennem.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds / Skeleton Tree

Som om han ikke allerede har sat ord på døden nok gange - sker det forfærdelige for ham, så det ikke kan komme tættere på. At lide det største tab et menneske kan opleve. Nick Caves 15-årige egen søn dør oven på et tragisk uheld. En mere virkelighedsnær og nøgen skildring af sorgen til et andet menneske synes svær at erindre.

Parquet Courts / Human Performance

Deres altid sarkastiske og lidt drengede rock-attitude har fået tyngde og er på Human Performance blevet til et sammentømret band, hvor de har udviklet nye sider til deres skramlede rockkatalog. Pigtråd og sydstatsaner i skøn forening. Grimmere og mere velfungerende rockslagger-agtigt kan det snart ikke blive.

Savages / Adore

Mark Pritchard / Under The Sun

Som en anden elektronisk spådom udgiver Pritchard det, der i mindste fald bør betegnes som en astral fremtidssaga, der gennem et atmosfærisk lydbillede skaber virkelighedsfjerne landskaber med dualistiske følelser mellem det kalejdoskopiske og det uendeligt uhåndgribelige.

Chairlift / Moth

Chance The Rapper / Coloring Book

The Radio Dept / Running Out Of Love

dvsn / Sept. 5th

Niki And The Dove / Everybody’s Heart Is Broken Now

Noname / Telefone

Sætter ord på en tid i USA’s historie, der for manges vedkommende ser de sortes rettigheder som en udtrådt dørmåtte, der til stadighed bliver mast mod jorden. I selskab med Noname føles disse bekymringer dog i et underfundigt dobbelspil med lyse melodier og tykflydende R&B-produktioner, hvor selv den blå Nivea-creme virker som en tynd efterligner. Hendes måde at holde stemmen sagte som var det en telefonsamtale i et tekstunivers, der spænder vidt i evigt kontrastfyldte lag mellem lyserøde barndomsminder og den grundlæggende menneskelige tvivlen på dødens indtræden.

Smerz / Okey

I en særlig flirt med nutidige elektroniske tendenser forfølger den norske duo Smerz, der er bosiddende i København, et selvsikkert og helstøbt udgangspunkt for deres tilgang til poppens mere simple afkroge. Og det lykkedes de i den grad med.

Bon Iver / 22, A Million

Føles som en hengemt del af Vernons musikalske jeg, der først nu får lov at ånde frit og lege med de tangenter, der ellers tidligere har syntes forbudt, hvor han tilbage i 2008 med sin debut kun havde sin stemme og nogle få akustiske instrumenter til at støtte sig til. Virkemidlerne er stadig følelsernes udkrængende organisme, men kompleksiteten i lydbilledet er blevet langt dybere og mere fragmenteret, hvilket kun klæder en herre, der hos undertegnede ellers har virket en anelse for selv-hulkende og havende ondt af sig selv. Ud på den anden side er kommet et dunkelt og frem for alt eksistentialistisk værk om at komme videre på trods af modgang og angst. Pladen løfter sig ved at veksle mellem eftertænksomme livsbekendelser, men også prøver kræfter med noget ukontrollerbart og fremmedartet. Han står bestemt ikke stille, den herre.

Boblere :

Car Seat Headrest / Teens of Denial

Sidste år fik Courtney Barnett titlen som soundtrack til min indre teenager, hvor det dette år skulle vise sig at være bandet Car Seat Headrest, der på deres 13. studiealbum endelig fik den anerkendelse og succes, der især har været under opsejling siden sidste års Teens Of Style. Det er frigørende rock af et band med sjældent set potentiale og talent. Dette er forhåbentlig kun en forsmag på noget endnu større.

Leonard Cohen / You Want It Darker

Efter herren selv endte med at gå ved døden dette efterår, føles det som med Bowies “Lazarus”, underligt forudsigende, at han måneden før, oven på pladens udgivelse, hilser døden velkommen. Så pladen mærkes mere som et accepterende farvel med hans grove stemme og kærlighedsoder, hvilket vist godt kan siges at have være kendetegnende for hans musikalske virke.

Nite-Funk / Nite-Funk

Blødgørende, klæbrigt og cheasy, men samtidig uimodståeligt dansabelt og velproduceret, hvor denne sammenslutning mellem Dam-Funk og Nite Jewel nærmest føles mere veldrejet og lækker end deres egne respektive udgivelser.

PJ Harvey / The Hope Six Demolition Project

England har vist sig ikke længere at ville det europæiske projekt og deler samtidig heller ikke den store sympati for udefrakommende. Denne udvikling er sket siden PJ Harveys behandling af Englands historiske og noget kontroversielle krigsudgydelser på Let England Shake. Verden er bestemt ikke blevet noget bedre sted at opholde sig, hvilket hun på THSDP kun slår endnu hårdere fast efter at have rejst verden rundt til bl.a. Afganistan, USA og Kosovo. Krigene er stadig omdrejningspunktet, og hendes væmmelse ved verdens galle er kun blevet værre. Dette har resulteret i et gedigent rockalbum med afstikkere til blues, hvor hun skruet ned for blidheden, men dermed ikke sagt, at hun ikke ser potentiale på denne klode. Den eksisterer nærmere sideløbende med en historie om et opvredet verdensbillede, hvor vi mennesker er med til at gøre det værre for os selv. Vi er nødt til at lære af vores fejl. Dette trækker også tråde til landsmanden ANOHNI, men går dog i langt højere grad til makronerne over den brede kam. Hun er ikke bange for at gøre andre bange. For der er grund til det. Noget jeg synes, hun ikke går helt galt i byen med.

Wild Nothing / Life Of Pause

Pusha-T / Darkest Before Dawn

Metaforiske pistolskud om en barsk virkelighed, der tydeligere end før viser sig at gennemsyre i Pusha’s repetoire og hans billede på det skeptiske forhold til ordensmagtens forbandelser over det sorte USA.

Marching Church / Telling It Like It Is

Moderat / III

De laserskarpe synths, øret for de gode melodier og synkoperede rytmestrukturer skaber sammen et kompromisløst helhedsbillede, der er helt og holdent uimodståeligt.

DIIV / Is This Are

Nicolas Jaar / Sirens

En samfundskritisk blanding af historielektioner, avantgardistiske blueshymner og atmosfæriske electronicalandskaber. Man får lidt af hvert. Og godt føles det.

Drugdealer / The End of Comedy

Preoccupations / Preoccupations

Porches / Pool

Kamaiyah / A Good Night In The Ghetto

Et overflødighedshorn af håndtegnsbefængte gangsta bangers med rækkevis af skud ud til hendes hood fyldt med alskens skududvekslinger, niggas og sex i alle afskygninger. Det er hårdt, men på samme tid befriende lettende i et makrokosmos, hvor det også er tilladt at være beskidt og gøre det forbudte.

YG / Still Brazy

En perlerække af fuckfingre og fuldfede beats leveret med gemene ordsammensætninger og sans for en G-funket lyd, der sjældent har lydt bedre før. Så ovenikøbet lige fra blokken. Bestemt ikke for pattebørn. Og sammen med Kamaiyah og Drake lavede de uden tvivl ét af 2016s største gangstahyldester.

Roosevelt / Night Moves

Sommerlune danserytmer uden så mange dikkedarer. Kölnbaserede Marius Lauber aka Roosevelt fremaner en udsøgt balancegang mellem det syntetiske og det organiske, det housede og poppede. Melodierne rammer en stemning af optimisme, der er svært smittende og lader forestillinger om en verden fyldt af muligheder stå åben for én, hvilket egentlig ikke er nogen helt ringe bedrift taget i betragtning af, at der blot er tale om en debut med få års erfaring på CV’et.

Katrine Stochholm / Danser Til Radio

Frontfiguren i det hedengangne Under Byen står for første gang på egne ben med et yderst elskværdigt gensyn af en vokal, der blandt mange andre var lyden af mine unge teenageår. Og det drømmende, poetisk legende og skæve fantasia har hun bibeholdt, men stadig bragt fornyelse ind med afsæt i en skræmmende personlig beretningsverden.

inc. no world / As Light As Light

Cass McCombs / Mangy Love

På trods af nogle år med mindre interessante udgivelser viser han på sit ottende studiealbum, at han stadig har nogle nye kreative kort i ærmet, hvilket bl.a. cementeres med hans absolut bedste sang siden “County Line” på pladen Wit’s End fra 2011, nemlig nummeret “Opposite House”. Og så bliver han for alvor også politisk på “Bum Bum Bum”.

Chris Cohen / As If Apart

En varm, behagelig agen på kinden, der som forgængeren Overgrown Path nikker genkendende til musikalske venskaber som Ariel Pink, Mac Demarco og såmænd også ovennævnte McCombs. Men noget ulmer under al den tilbagelænethed. Rettere sagt får den simple psychedelia med melodier skåret ind til benet virkelig lov til at blomstre i al dets vissenhed og små hymner, der på tapetet virker simple, men i dets selvsamme spartanske opbygning breder der sig mellem linjerne historier om større eksistentialistiske metaforikker, der tipper mellem det håbløse og en hudærlig skønhed. Vi lister med ham ud i natten og måske er fælles om en skrøbelighed, følelse af ensomhed, der end ikke er så slem igen, så længe den er fredelig. På den anden side er livet som oftest lidt lysere, når selskab består af flere end en selv.

IRAH / Into Dimensions

Atmosfærisk, æterisk, men samtidig jordbundet og personligt. Flyvende mod stratosfæriske højder med en indsigtsfuld vinkel på musikkens underfundige kontrastflader fortjener pladen et bifald som substantiel og indsigtsfuld. Med en indstilling af store ambitioner mod en nær fremtid kan jeg kun hilse dem velkommen og sige held og lykke med det hele.

Mitski / Puberty 2

En personlig fremstilling af, hvordan angst kan munde ud i agression og tvivl. Samtidig har hun også en forfinet fornemmelse for, at følelser kan gøres os lige så fortvivlede som give os mulighed for at løsne op og forstå, at ikke alt er så lige til og sommetider bliver vi nødt til at acceptere, at tilfældene i livet er større end en selv.

Andreas Mattsson / Solnedgången

Efter alt lige fra engelsksprogede soloplader over en succesrig tid som svenskindiepops gudfader i 90erne til sangskriver for nogle af det svenske kongeriges fornemmeste sangstemmer rammer Mattsson nu selv hovedet på sømmet med første soloalbum på modersmålet. Viser sig som en sikker blanding af blødsødende popmelodier mestendels i mol kombineret med skarpsindige tekster om hjemlandets begyndende revner i hverdagslivets trivialitet, hvor de glade dage på en Middelhavs ø kan runge en anelse hult, når man ved, at turistsæsonen er på hæld, og hvad livet atter står på. Han forstår at skabe et kontrastfyldt portræt af et land, der nok har det trykt og godt, men måske er det heller ikke det drømmescenarie alle går rundt og har om livet, hvis elendigheden stadig stadig lever rundt omkring derude ?

Tim Hecker / Love Streams

Hvorfor kan det være, at det selvdestruktive og ekstraordinært soniske ingenting går så godt i hånd, når bare det er den rigtige, der behandler dette krydsfelt ? En del af min musikforståelse, jeg aldrig kommer til at have helt styr på.

Danny Brown / Afrocity Exhibition

En beskidt, mudret og tilpas uforudset vasker lige i ansigtet, jeg ikke vidste, jeg havde brug for, før jeg rent faktisk fik den smækket i hovedet første gang.

Outro..

Og som en lille krølle på halen har jeg efter de sidste dage af året, der nu desværre er gået på hæld, forelsket mig i den franske pop - og queerdronning Christine & The Queens med pladen Chaleur Humaine, men er også blevet svært glad for Run The Jewels nu tredje plade bare kaldet RTJ 3, der udkom lige inden nytår. Noget jeg drømmer store håb og tanker til. Lad året 2017 blive mindst lige så produktivt og med færre dødsfald blandt de helt store musikalske legender.
