Young Love

Young Love by Dj Ulsan on Mixcloud

Going back a bit to archive one of my all time favorites. The initial title was kind of a rip job on one of my cousins who doesn't always make the best choices in life, but after some reflection don't think I need to be going there so I've changed the name. Wide range of tunes here and it's hard to choose my favorites. A few of these -- particularly Beat Culture, Galapagos and Co La, are things I heard in passing that I wouldn't neccessaily seek out, but that fit along nicely next to things like Smile-era Beach Boys and a Rufus Wainwright ballad. Also really like early 80s pre-"alternative" rock vibe of The Kids "Innocent Girls" and The Bangs "Think it Over." This mix is actually "mixed" and equalized, so it flows well.

I Tried to Make it 16...but I Gave up at 17 -- A Selection of Smiths Songs

Yeah, a Smiths comp. I know. But sometimes you just have state the obvious, even when everyone expects you to say it. Much like the other "best of" compilations I've done by Felt and Epic Soundtracks, these are my favorite Smiths songs as of now. Actually, as of June, but I wanted to let it marinate a bit to make sure I had it right. As the title suggests, I set out to choose 16 of my favorite songs, but in the end I couldn't choose another to eliminate. You'll probably choose one when you look at the titles, as I would if you made me a Smiths mix.

 The difficulty in creating a Smiths comp is that it was such a seminal group to me growing up different albums and periods sit like signposts in my life, but I didn't really want to make a compilation based on my life or history listening to the band. In truth, I probably go back to the band more than any other, even though I don't think I'd normally say it's my favorite group of all time.

 "Strangeways" was the first Smiths album I ever heard. It was so radically different from anything I was listening to at the time. In retrospect I can see it not only changed the way I listened to music, but probably changed the way I viewed art and even myself. It's difficult to not over-represent the album on this sort of mix.

 One thing that will likely jump out to aficionados is that "Hateful of Hollow" dominates my selections. I kind of struggled with this and really wanted to eliminate at least one of those versions, but as much as I like the production on all Smiths albums, there's something about the raw, electric, and often punk sounds of the band that I've loved more as I've gotten older. Likewise, one might notice that Meat is Murder is barely represented at all. That album is my least favorite by the band, and the title track is one of my least favorite Smiths songs. With that I hope you enjoy this, even just to listen to once so you can bitch to the Smiths fans in your life about what's missing and what should never be on a comp like this.

Difficult Shapes

Difficult Shapes by Dj Ulsan on Mixcloud

Have a backlog of a couple that I want to get up on the site. My friend sent me this about a month ago and I think it's one of his best. Bill Prichard is someone right up my alley that I'd never heard of. A look at the cover tells me why, but like I've said before, I was very shallow that way in the late 80s. The other standout for me (among many) is Ronnie Urini aka "Rocket" (Not Focket as I've typed). Had no idea about this one, which is exactly why we've been trading these damn mixes since high school.

Unexpected Harvests

Or So I'm Told

Or So I'm Told by Dj Ulsan on Mixcloud

The Monochrome Set -- Eine Symphonie Des Grauens

Downloaded the Cherry Red Pillows & Prayers compilation and decided to build an entire mix around it. Really struggled to narrow it down to 3 or 4 songs as there are only a few tracks I wouldn't consider. Despite that, I knew The Monochrome Set was going first. I love the fact that I can still come across bands from this era that I've barely heard, but really enjoy once I give them a chance.

Empress Of... -- Hat Trick

Not my usual fare, but this struck me as an ear friendly (dare I say mainstream) mixture of Maria Minerva, Nite Jewel and the Cocteau Twins. Not a bad cross pollenation in my book.

Thierry Meyer -- Paradox

Always finding great download blogs and the mostly coldwave/post punk/minimal synth etc. Systems of Romance (est 2007) is no exception. This is an instrumental track of the blog's first compilation, which is very strong the entire way through.

MBV -- Only Tomorrow

Very fun the way this album was suddenly actually happening soon immediately. It's impossible to compare it to Loveless, because no matter how big an MBV fan you are, you're 22 years older than you were then and (hopefully) in a very different phase of life. Fortunately it turned out to be very good.

少年ナイフ -- When You Sleep

Not listed as Shonen Knife, but in the original Japanese on the Yellow Loveless tribute, which is just as well, because I always had an aversion to that band for reasons I do not recall. I may have done something stupid and skipped over it, which would have been a real shame because this version is really really great. Best on that compilation by far.

La Luz -- Sure as Spring

Found on the You're the Girl That Does Everything I Do comp from the So Tough! So Cute! blog, which more or less promotes a club night in London and Malmo. It seems Riot Grrrl has come into fashion for these people, which is amusing to me, having lived through the first incarnation not all that long ago and not caring too much for what I'm sure were silly reasons. La Luz sounds like it could have come out in 1995, to the extent that I was surprised for a second time to see it was released in 2012 when I just looked it up moments ago. Maybe it's the allergy pill I just took talking.

Five or Six -- Portrait

Another off the Pillows & Prayers comp. As I said before I had a hard time deciding which songs to go with off the comp and I decided on this at the end. Angular like Chairs Missing era Wire, but with less edge. Ended up buying (!) the "Acting on Impulse" retrospective and was surprised the other material isn't in a similar post-punk vein.

Part Time -- I Won't be Your Little Secret

Was just thinking in the last day or two that Part Time might just be my favorite group/project of the moment. Something about the music hits me right in my spot -- just the right amount of sleaze and amateurness mixed with a sound I can only pinpoint as Bay Area. Am about the last person to watch a music video, but again, somehow this reels me in.

Golden Donna -- Machete Bathtub

Dâm-Funk-esque. Potato in the tub.

Benoit Pioulard/Foxes in Fiction -- Ground Glass

The first song I found for this mix. I guess it's the "oooohhooohhooooh" hook that gets me. Very pretty song.

Jane From Occupied Europe -- Drift 13

I've said it before, Swell Maps -- overrated. And I say that as a pretty big fan of Epic Soundtracks. The title of the album, and subsequently this band, always stuck with me, so I'm glad there was a band worthy of the cool title.

International Strike Force -- Golden Starlet

Remember when this came out and it was huge at the college radio station I was working at and I totally whiffed on it. It even bugged me that it was so popular. Now, here I am digging it. That's life for ya. Another one from So Tough So Cute!

HEHFU -- Two and a Half Years

Don't remember which blog I found this on due right, but I bought it from bandcamp here. Reminds me of vintage Boyracer, who I was never fully into, but at times I thought they really nailed it.

Beach Fossils -- Sleep Apnea

Didn't like this album when I first got it, but it's grown on me. This song, however, struck me right away. Man, does anyone read this?

Jackson Scott -- Evie

Here's something. First came across it on Pitchfork. It's subtle, but this guy has some very Elliott-ishness about him, which is high praise indeed. Part of it is the double tracked vocals, another part is the way the drums and bass intertwine. Will be interesting to see where this goes.

Case -- Rag and Rock-n-Roller

Danish glam. Can't go wrong there can ye? I once met a girl in Copenhagen online and ended up meeting her. Fell in love. Got ugly.

The Bats -- Tragedy

Beautiful melody here. Where the title to this mix comes from.

The Stray Trolleys -- Gunslinger

Can't say anything about this better than Willfully Obscure says here. Just makes me wonder why this isn't being re-released. This copy is so awful I had to persuade myself to include it here. And yet, what I'm saying is this song is so great I had to include it despite the poor audio.

Ben Watt -- Some Things Don't Matter

Was walking to a train station in Cheonan when this song really hit me and I knew I had to include it here. Was it Cheonan? If you've ever been there you know the answer is no.

We’re All Hipsters

 Fun. From The WG News + Arts:

Hipsters never impose their lifestyle or values on anyone and welcome anyone to join but they won’t be put out if they don’t. They are bold urban pioneers occupying nabes that were lost, forgotten, abandoned, left to rot and fester. The same media who crowned the hipsters as saviors by resurrecting down & out nabes yesterday blame them as the cause of these same nabes becoming Millionaire Row today.

Dig the comments section too.

Enchanting the Ballroom

Enchanting the Ballroom by Dj Ulsan on Mixcloud

Nice mix by my friend built around the classic Sarah comp. "Air Balloon Road," which was probably the first release from the label I really got into. An ex-girlfriend had it, along with the first couple Field Mice LPs. Problem was, I knew her ex-boyfriend had turned her on to them, so the songs were always bitter sweet to me. The Orchids "It's Only Obvious," might be my favorite Sarah song ever. Also like the Blissed Out Fatalists tune here, part of an exciting new imprint on Captured Tracks called Body Double Ltd.

It was raining for what seemed like days so Wallace and I decided to pack our computes and head down to Eat Records to work on our shit. He'd been working on some song lyrics and I started an essay about confirmation bias in baseball media. Now playing: Wild Nothing "Counting Days"

Handwritten Heartbreak

Handwritten Heartbreak by Dj Ulsan on Mixcloud

Wanted to stretch things out a bit on this one, so including a 10 minute remix of Spacemen 3's "Big City," and two versions of the same song by The Greg Foal Group, I also have two songs I let run over into instrumental bits as they appear on their original albums, and "Cradle" by Dreamscape, which extends a couple minutes longer than it's end time.

The Greg Foal Group -- The Girl And Robot With Flowers Pt 1 

I don't usually listen to jazz, especially contemporary jazz. But this song really caught my ear when I came across it on Mixcloud and next thing I knew I was also including Part 6 at the end.

Alessi Brothers -- Seabird 

Another Mixcloud find, this off a mix done by Nite Jewel for FACT magazine. A lot of delightful weirdness going on here in what I'm guessing was originally a song meant for AM commercial radio.

Naomi Punk -- The Spell/ClS + Death Junket

When all was said and done, probably my #1 or #2 album of 2012. Didn't seem to get a lot of attention on those sorts of lists, but somehow reminds me of the glory days of spazzy northwest punk like Lync, Karp and Unwound.

Dreamscape -- Cradle

An obscure shoegaze time capsule find reissued. Love it. Ought to have been a classic of the era.

Magic Touch and Sapphire -- When I See You

Another great single from 100% Silk that makes me continue to wonder why I started to like house music just as I was entering the phase of life in which one would never ever encounter a club.

3B Unit -- Tango in the Rain

From an obscure Italian cassette only release uploaded to Crispy Nuggets. Poor sound quality, but I like what that does for it.

Spacemen 3 -- Big City (remix)

I remember really hating this song, especially the opening, when it came out, but it's ended up being one of my favorite songs by the band off what I think is its best album. This one goes on a bit, but I like the way it fits on this mix. Recently posted here.

Girls Names -- The New Life

Excellent new song by a band I haven't heard much of anything bad from. Another one that goes on a bit but really doesn't get tired. Off a 12" by Slumberland.

Christopher Owens -- Lysandre's Theme/Here We Go

Former leader of Girls off what is revealing itself on repeated listens to be a truly amazing album.

Unknown Mortal Orchestra -- Sleep and Swim (Like a Shark Does)

Kind of bums me out when I choose a song for a mix and it ends up as the single off the album. I'm realizing that's the case with the Owens track above, which even includes the interlude that precedes the song, just as I have it. Oh well.

The Greg Foal Group -- The Girl And Robot With Flowers Pt 6 

Turns out this group is hailed by Gilles Peterson, whose path I don't encounter often, but always like when I do. There are actually six versions of this song on the single, which I believe was released as a 10".

The Pastels -- Ugly Town

Not originally included on this mix, but was recently uploaded by I Was a Teenage Shoegazer and is thus on my current playlist. I usually think of this as a pivotal album for me, but its mostly a pivotal song "Nothing to be Done," which I'd have to put in some sort of Top 15-20 ever. So I'm actually kind of discovering parts of this album for the first time.

Heat Breaks

Heat Breaks by Dj Ulsan on Mixcloud

An older one from a couple years ago with several selections from a couple compilations -- Yeti Vol. 9 and Welcome Home/Diggin' the Universe on Woodist. Two very notable tracks on here IMO -- Ko + Friends "I'm in Hiding," a really sweet slice of 60s pop that's a one off (as far as I can tell) by Ko Melina aka Ko Shih (Korean?) of The Dirtbombs. The other track is Run DMT's "Richard," a song I could almost call a classic, but from a band/project that too often sounds like some talented people taking too many drugs, and not in the good way. Still love this song though.

Ten From Epic Soundtracks

Ten From Epic Soundtracks by Dj Ulsan on Mixcloud

Similar to the Felt collection I made earlier in the year here are 10 songs from singer/songwriter Epic Soundtracks. I got the idea to do this while listening to Wild Smile, the 2012 anthology by Soundtracks. This isn't really meant as a complaint, because any effort to bring more attention to an artist like Soundtracks is gravvy, but Greatest Hit type of releases of this nature are tricky. On one hand you have a nice (albeit lengthy) introduction for the uninitiated on Disc 1. But will said uninitiated ever be interested in the Disc 2 full of live versions and rarities? And for the rabid fan who'd like to get a hold of an A Capella version of "Don't Go to School," of what use are the 20 "hits" on Disc 1? Who pays $21.99 for it?

So I set out to create a collection for those less familiar with his work. I pushed myself to distill his catalogue down to 10 tunes. Truth be told, I think Soundtracks wrote 4 or 5 truly wonderful songs, and then quite a few more that are very nice. On occasion, I think he was able to get by simply because he was cool and probably had a great record collection. I would never put him in the class of some of the greats I think he tried to emulate -- Parsons, Dylan, Chilton and Lennon. I actually think he's a little like Evan Dando, who comes from similar origins and was a big Soundtracks fan and supporter. I'm sure that comparison would make a lot of Soundtracks fans sick, but Dando too has written a handful of truly great songs.

My own introduction to Soundtracks -- post Swell Maps, who I always wanted to like more than I actually did -- wasn't until 1999 with the release of Everything is Temporary, a posthumous collection of mostly outtakes and demos that was co-licensed (or something) by the record store I was working for at the time. By virtue of that it was played at least once a day for several months. Yeah, I know I just said demos don't make a good introduction, but "Everything" flows a little differently than a typical collection of demos. It sounds more like a stripped down album in my opinion, which is ironic because one of his strong suits on his proper albums was the production -- again, I'm sure the guy was above all else a music fan if not a collector.

Over the years I've wound my way through his albums, typically recognizing 2 or 3 songs from "Everything," and usually finding improved, fully realized versions on the full lengths. "There's Been a Change," "Emily May" and "Fallen Down" were such cases and all three are on this collection. A couple songs "Something New Under the Sun," which is really the first Soundtracks song that caught my ear, and "Night Time," are both presented in their stripped down "Everything" versions.

Well Rounded

Well Rounded by Dj Ulsan on Mixcloud

Didn't really have Devine in mind when I created this -- was thinking more like a "well rounded" student, someone studying several disciplines to make their parents happy (in Korea). This was one of the first mixes where I really started pushing myself to include music from different decades/eras and I like the way it came out. In listening again the Fleetwood Mac really jumps out. Obviously unlike any Fleetwood Mac many are familiar with, but a wonderfully melancholy instrumental. Other standouts for me include the Women track, who I believe are Canadian, as is Brave Belt.

Juicy Thighs

Juicy Thighs by Dj Ulsan on Mixcloud

R. Stevie Moore -- Pop Music

Probably getting some attention due the Ariel Pink connection, but I can't say I think Moore has been a criminally ignored genius for 40+ years. However, this is terrific song with it's playful pokes at pop music and early Chicago (band) style horns.

The Rah Band -- Messages From the Stars (Longwave Mix)

Pretty sure I have these guys on a mix somewhere else but I can't remember where. Groovy, futuristic boogie with all kinds of cool sound effects. Wouldn't think it would fit between the two acts I have here, but it works for me. From Beat Electric.

The Olivia Tremor Control -- Jumping Fences/Define a Transparent Dream

I'm not usually too affected by musician/entertainer deaths, but this stuck in my head for a few days. There were a few moments in the late 90s where I might have even claimed OTC were my favorite band period. I saw them three or four times over the Terrastock Festival weekend in San Francisco, and they did an in-store at the record shop I was working at.

After Doss died I listened to their few albums and concluded that as a whole I never really thought the albums were great, but that OTC did record a handful of near-classic songs, and "Jumping Fences," which I'd put somewhere in my Top-something of all time. I'm attaching "Define..." here because it just doesn't sound right to not to. R.I.P. Bill Doss.

Matt Munisteri And Will Holshouser -- Orange Crate Art

A random, late addition to this mix, ripped from the YouTube posted on Facebook by an old friend who created this nifty mag. As he said when he posted it: great version of a great song.

Jerome LOL -- Forever One half of the LOL Boys, which is a great name IMO. I'd seen the name LOL Boys around, but hadn't heard it or this guy until this song. Cool, minimalist electronic funk here. Went and listened to LOL Boys afterwards and didn't like it at all. That's the way it goes sometimes.

The Fall -- Container Drivers
Wire -- A Question of Degree

My friend, whose mixes I also put on this site from time to time, is good at including "classic" songs among his new stuff and obscurities, so I wanted to do some of that on this mix too. Both Wire and The Fall are about as classic as it gets in my world.

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti -- Is This the Best Spot? Solid album. Still the worst live act I've ever paid to see.

The Records -- Affection Rejected

Where have The Records been my entire life? Actually, I've heard of the group for years, but like The Sound, never really investigated. Heard both this year. Didn't like The Sound at all. The Records are classic!

Sybil -- Don't Make Me Over

Didn't realize until just now this was a Dionne Warwick song written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Guess that explains why it caught my ear. Grabbed from Soul-sides.

The End -- It's O.K.

Sometimes I'll download something like this off these kinds of sites you'll find at right and they just hit my spot perfectly. Reminds me of record collecting back in the day. B-side is total crap, which is exactly how it works sometimes!

Thom Janusz -- Memories of Georgia

Another found on Soul-Sides, which led me to look up Thom Janusz and find that he's not on Wiki, but has a reissue on Ubiquity. Also led me to this blog, which I'll take as credible and go to later by virtue that it's got Janusz on there.

Slowdive -- Alison

Almost took this off as I was finishing this mix. Probably the best song by the band, but doesn't fit here at all, and when I went back and listened to the album I rediscovered why I'd stopped listening. But like I said, great song.

David Blue -- Come on John

Off a site that for the time being has unfortunately stopped posting. This goes out to my friend Jon who I've stopped speaking to, perhaps also for the time being.

Aztec Camera -- Walk Out to Winter

What better song to say hello to the cold weather that's not quite here yet, but is fast approaching. I'm just seeing all of the band's albums are being reissued, but from what I gathered the first was the only one worth listening to by a longshot. It is a very good album all the way through.

i'm into dark things

I'm into dark things by Dj Ulsan on Mixcloud

Put this together in late 2010 and am uploading it for archival purposes. It's a strong set starting with The Twerps "Dance Alone," a song I think the band has had trouble topping since, and ditto Raw Thrills "For Someone." Or maybe I just think of these as being the band's best material since I included them on a mix.

There are a couple minimal-synth tracks here with Absolute Body Control, Linear Movement and the French group Clair Obscur and then a tri-fecta of V.U. inspired people/groups in the "Russia," song, which sounds kind of like Nico, Virgin Insanity, which sounds like vintage Doug Yule V.U., and then Nico herself to close the mix.

And Here They Come, the People From the Bible

And Here They Come, the People From the Bible by Dj Ulsan on Mixcloud

Another strong mix from my friend. Back in the day we were all about industrial music. I don't think it mattered much who or what it was as long as it was aggressive and weird. Oh, and it had to say "Wax Trax." This isn't all industrial, and he's even got a great Nite Jewel tune on here to go along with some Harmonia & Eno and Faust.

Maybe Tomorrow

Maybe Tomorrow by Dj Ulsan on Mixcloud

A new mix my friend from the U.S. sent over. He wrote and told me he found this great site Vinyl Obscurity and ended up putting on several songs from there. He'd wondered if I'd heard of it and, year, of course I knew it was a great site. I usually download 30-40% of what goes up on VO, so luckily there was plenty I hadn't heard. I liked The October Group and Graphic Shadows so much I went back and located those.

Incidentally, this photo looks like a beach with a factory towering over it. The umbrellas remind me a little of Haundae Beach in Busan, but the factory shadowing it reminds me of Il-kwang Beach, which is about 20 minutes north. Hard to find much of anything in English, but here's a photo. There's a large nuclear reactor there, right next to the beach.

Summer Rockin'

Been thinking of doing an Yacht Rock mix for awhile, largely inspired by the site Hard Rock/AOR Heaven, off of which I've found a few gems that are included here and other places. The great thing about this recent wave of obscure file blogs (there must be a better name) is that all genres are fair game, so it stood to reason that there'd be some great Yacht/AOR/West Coast/Soft Rock jams out there to be found.

Angeles -- Prologue

As soon as I heard this I knew it was going to lead this mix. This album was actually made, as I understand it, by a Japanese guy who came over to the U.S. and hired a bunch of his favorite AOR/West Coast studio musicians and vocalists to put music to songs he wrote. That's such a Japanese thing to do.

The President -- Turn Me On

A two man Dutch band checks in with a classic sounding track that reminds me a little of Toto. This is off a Japan only re-release. Notice a trend here?

Fair Warning -- She Don't Know Me

This album really grew on me. Fantastic songwriting all the way through and when it came time to select a song off it I was torn between four before I finally decided it was ok to include two. Interesting snippit from the post:

"Fair Warning" included a potential hit single penned by Avsec titled "She Don't Know Me". However, an upcoming band from New Jersey called Bon Jovi were recording their first album for Mercury Records at this time and needed a strong debut single, so "She Don't Know Me" was selected for them. This label executive move ruined the chances of the song being pushed as a single for Fair Warning.

Just goes to show what a fine line there is between coke-snorting, babes-to-burn success and utter back-in-the-cubicle-you-go failure.

Nielsen/Pearson -- If You Should Sail

Assumed this was somehow related to Harry Nilsson, but actually N&P were a duo during the 80s that made it to #38 with this song. Shades of Michael McDonald on the backup...have to assume that's Pearson. Songs about boats on the sea...how Yacht Rock can you get?

Glen Frey -- The One You Love

I know I've heard this sax line a number of times, but not sure if it's as a sample or if I just know this song. The backbeat is actually quite slick. I listened to this song on repeat about 20 times.

Jumpstreet -- Someone Else is On Your Mind

Included these guys on my last mix. Nice Steely Dan vibe, and, as much as I like S.D. I have to say the quality of this album does rival some of Fagan and Becker's lesser moments, which ain't bad.

Steely Dan -- Bad Sneakers

One of my favorite songs period. Seemed like a good way to follow up the previous song. Used to listen to this again and again while walking around NYC. Reminds me of my old boss Bernard, who was put in jail for hiring a kid to kill his ex-wife.

James Taylor and J.D. Souther -- Her Town Too

Smooooth song. Really nice combo here. Some goofy lyric meaning speculation here.

Lulu -- I Could Never Miss You

Scottish woman. This track comes off of Vol. 14 of a comp on the blog AOR/Night Drive. I'm not sure where the recording comes from, but there's some canned audience applause at the start. I was thinking of trying to edit it out, but it grew on me. If it's a live version it's very good.

The Beach Boys -- Match Point of Our Love

The one song credited solely to Brian Wilson off the M.I.U. album, released in the late 70s. Not exactly "soft rock," but the album, which is typically rated as the group's worst among it's "credible" work, is filled with mainstream late 70s production, so it fits here and fits well in my opinion.

Fair Warning -- Night and Day

Another terrific song off this album. Has a beachy mai tai kind of feel to it.

Stephen Bishop -- It Might Be You

Theme from Tootsie. Fairly underrated song in my opinion. Entirely schmaltzy, but in an affecting way.

Angeles -- Sayonara

The one overtly Japanese theme on this album. Not a great collection of songs actually, but the two tracks seemed to bookend things nicely.

Summer Rockin' by Dj Ulsan on Mixcloud

Moose 3EPs

When I was in high school my friend and I would get somewhat competitive about music, unfortunately. When one of us discovered a band for the first time and championed it, the other had no choice but to either bow to the other's prowess at discovering bands nobody knew about, or reject it, therefore validating our own ability. To this day I still wonder if this has something to do with me never having gotten into Joy Division.

But Moose's Jack EP transcended our little game. My friend and I were both dying to hear it, having read about it in Melody Maker, but somehow he got it first. Undeniably, it fucking ruled. Band name, artwork, and the tunes...it was the total package, and it arguably got better on the Cool Breeze EP before finally stumbling a little on Reprise.

Moose ended up going in a very different direction for the duration of it's career (four albums), but that music was often quite wonderful, and sadly, completely overlooked. However, that music never had the edge, and really, sex appeal if I may say, of the first 2 1/4 EPs. Go get Moose's 3 EPs here.
