Glasgow nerdathon music thread

[Blzebub]

We got through a vast amount (too much, I think) of music over the weekend. Unfortunately, I have a memory like a fish, and would be most grateful if the geeks could kindly post up what they played, because I liked a lot of it, but not the atonal jazz.

TIA,

Blimey, I can't remember it all. There was some Slint, Nurse With Wound, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, John Fahey, Jack Rose, Ivor Cutler, Jackie McLean, Faust, Magic Numbers, Captain Beefheart, Godspeed You Black Emperor, Neu!, Charles Mingus, and David S Ware, amongst others. Don't remember playing any atonal jazz though

I think I was responsible for:-

Armstrong/Ellington - Together for the first time & The Great Reunion
Autechre - Album (the one that lasted 15 seconds)
MJQ - Last Concert extra bits album (Bub winced, he doesn't like vibes, man)
Ali Farka Toure / Ry Cooder - Talking Timbuktu
Red Garland - Red Alert
Ella Fitzgerald - Sings the Duke Ellington Songbook

Ian - what was the title of the David S ware you played?

 

[Markus S]

some zydeco stuff from a magazine compilation that didn't really work
Der Beat from Bagdad, Mr Blue
Henri Texier, An Indian's week - you didn't like it
Dissidenten, Live in Europe


I seem to be missing a Mary Coughlan CD, if that ever turns up, keep it as a gift.

Ian - what was the title of the David S ware you played?

That was "Mother May You Rest In Bliss" from Corridors & Parallels, a favourite "if you don't like this, you probably won't like much modern jazz" track often played for plebians like wot Bub is.
