((((( NEW ARRIVALS: CDs ))))) Gnarls Barkley, Raconteurs, Ghostface + + +
v/a MELODII TUVI: Throat Songs and Folk Tunes from Tuva CD
*** "Recordings from 1969 of Tuvan folk music and throat-singing. In khoomei, the singer simultaneously produces two more distinct musical notes: a low, sustained bass note and a flute-like higher note. The effect is hypnotic, eerie, and drone-like, unlike any sound you've heard come out of a cowboy."
v/a NIGERIA SPECIAL: Modern Highlife, Afro-Sounds & Nigerian Blues, 1970-1976 CD
*** "Nigeria Special is a truly in-depth, double album look at Nigerian music in the early to mid-'70s, encompassing a broad range of styles. This compilation presents some of the best un-reissued and forgotten sounds from Nigeria, covering the everything from highlife, jazz, Afro-beat and blues to more traditional styles."
DAVID AXELROD Seriously Deep CD
*** RECOMMENDED "One of the rarest albums ever from funky maestro David Axelrod. There's a subtle dose of fusion in the mix, but one that's never too jamming. The album's a favorite of sample hounds and crate diggers, and is incredibly hard to find on vinyl."
B-52s Funplex CD
*** "Loud sexy rock and roll with the beat pumped up to hot pink!"
RHYS CHATHAM Guitar Trio Is My Life 3xCD
*** "Utilizing multiple electric guitars and a single chord, 1977's Guitar Trio is composer Rhys Chatham's signature work, and a euphoric, minimal-punk classic. Now, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Guitar Trio on an epic scale, Chatham musters an all-star guitar army for the 3CD set, Guitar Trio Is My Life! The sprawling collection features members of Sonic Youth, Swans, Tortoise, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Hüsker Dü, Modern Lovers, Silver Mt. Zion, Town and Country, Die Kreutzen, 90-Day Men, Collections of Colonies of Bees, and many more; even Tony Conrad gets in on the act."
CLARK Ted EP CD
*** "The title track 'Ted' is complimented by an otherworldly remix by lauded producer BIBIO. The Body Riddle reinterpretations offer some pretty psychedelic parallels and the new tracks meld together to complete this richly textured EP." CD includes a video.
GHOSTFACE KILLAH The Wallabee Champ CD
*** It's been about four LONG months since Ghostface put out his last album. It's about time he dropped a new one! Now, this guy has made few mis-steps to check it out.
GNARLS BARKLEY The Odd Couple CD
*** Perhaps you've heard of them! DANGERMOUSE and CEE-LO are back with what's talked up to be a bar-raising effort above their debut.
GUILTY SIMPSON Ode To The Ghetto CD
*** "...with MR. PORTER, MADLIB, OH NO, J DILLA, BLACK MILK, and SEAN P."
LAIR OF THE MINOTAUR War Battle Metal Master CD
*** "A concept album about solving conflicts with a big f*cking axe! A mix of thrashing aggression, mega-riffage and unrelenting beatings. Emotionless ferocity performed with the razor percision of an executioner."
DANIEL LANOIS Here Is What Is CD
*** Producer and lapsteel player, Mr. Lanois, returns with another set of beautiful, slightly spacey tunes.
THE RACONTEURS Consolers Of The Lonely CD
*** Jack White, Brendan Benson, and some other guys from some other band get it on for a follow-up to their much-lauded debut.
SOUND DIMENSION Mojo Rocksteady Beat CD
*** "Classic recordings from the funkiest group in the history of reggae! As the in-house band at Studio One in the late 1960s, Sound Dimension recorded some of the most important songs -- the 'foundation' of reggae music, endlessly versioned and re-versioned by Jamaican artists."
BRUNO SPOERRI Glückskugel CD
*** RECOMMENDED "CAN-collaborator Bruno Spoerri's first collection of embryonic pre-Nintendo sprite-themes, music for engineering companies, and motivational music for industrial sites and factories utilising concrete techniques, primitive sampling techniques and contemporary experimental psych-rock and funk musicians."
THEE SILVER MT. ZION 13 Blues For Thirteen Moons CD
*** "The music of the full band (two guitars, two violins, cello, contrebasse and drums) has grown louder, looser, full of spittle and tears. Riffs are the backbone more than ever and the band has never rocked harder and has never sounded more determined, desperate and driven."
T.P. ORCHESTRE POLY-RHYTHMO The Kings of Benin: Urban Groove 1972-80 CD
*** "From the Republic of Benin, West Africa, T.P. Orchestre Poly-Rythmo is one of Africa's least-known big-bands outside of their home country. A mixture of hard Afro-Funk, driving Afrobeat, deep Afro-Latin and Cuban grooves all with a unique flavor that ruled the dance-floors of 70's urban Benin."
WOLF EYES & JOHN WEISE Collection CD
*** "This CD is a collection of the Wolf Eyes w/ John Wiese 7" and two CD-Rs originally released in very limited editions on American Tapes in 2003-04. Digitally re-mastered by Wiese this year, and finally available all together."
JOHN ZORN The Dreamers CD
*** "Continuing in the tradition of his popular album, The Gift, Zorn again combines a lifetime of musical passions -- world music, movie soundtracks, jazz, minimalism, exotica, funk, surf rock and more -- to create a vibrant and multi-faceted album of instrumental fairy tales."
*** "Recordings from 1969 of Tuvan folk music and throat-singing. In khoomei, the singer simultaneously produces two more distinct musical notes: a low, sustained bass note and a flute-like higher note.

((((( NEW ARRIVALS: Vinyl ))))) Sharon Jones, Osborne, MIA
v/a FALLIN' OFF THE REEL II 2xLP / CD
*** RECOMMENDED "Truth & Soul combines 27 of the choice cuts from both volumes of its "Fallin Off the Reel" CDs, including the classic El Michels Affair cover of "C.R.E.A.M."! Additional tracks cover the entire T&S 7" catalog, including songs from Lee Fields, Bronx River Parkway, Quincy Bright, and more!!!"
v/a GROOVEMASTER 7 LP
*** A completely peculiar but primo selection of tracks in the avant-cosmic jazz vein with one ESG track that plays at 45. Totally strange but nicely priced and worth the listen.
FAT RAY & BLACK MILK The Set Up LP / CD
*** "Black Milk somehow seems to be getting better and better in a ridiculously short period of time. "The Set Up" continues his string of incredible releases, this time with dope MC, Fat Ray. Take one listen to "Take Control" and you'll be hooked."
SHARON JONES & THE DAP KINGS Dap Dippin' LP
SHARON JONES & THE DAP KINGS Naturally LP
SHARON JONES & THE DAP KINGS 100 Days, 100 Nights LP
*** Every one of this beautiful lady's album in stock on LP for the first time at Wazoo. I hope you like good times.
MIA Kala 2xLP
*** Thought to be lost to the sands of times, we got a few more copies of MIA's second album on vinyl.
OSBORNE Ruling EP
*** "Todd Osborne has been championed across the board by Gilles Peterson to Aphex Twin, from UR's Mad Mike to Warp's Flying Lotus. This 12" was written on his own music software on a hand-built computer, and is a testament to a life of walking the walk. Pure house."

((((( NEW ARRIVALS: CDs ))))) Clark, Destroyer, J Dilla, She & Him
BLACK MILK Sound Of The City CD
*** "Possibly the freshest and finest debut to come out of Detroit since "The Slim Shady EP" and "Fantastic Vol. 1." Black Milk is the real deal, especially on the beats but also on the mic, with a raw, gritty, and energetic style that could only come from Detroit."
CLARK Turning Dragon 2xLP / CD
*** "Hard, deep, continuously evolving and gritty tracks, aimed at contorting your body on the dance floor or just contorting your brain. This is an album that you could almost call techno, but techno with the a.d.d. detail pushed as far as it can go."
MATTHEW DEAR Asa Breed (Black Edition) CD
*** Expanded version of Matthew Dear's lauded 2007 release including remixes by HOT CHIP and FOUR TET. For a limited time, buy the CD and get a copy of Dear's 'Deserter' 10"!
DEL THE FUNKY HOMOSAPIEN Eleventh Hour CD
*** New album from the man that brought you many classic albums now on DEF JUX.
DESTROYER Trouble In Dreams CD
*** "As an artist, Dan Bejar is as quirky and enigmatic as David Bowie, as symphonic as Scott Walker, and as quixotically literary as Bob Dylan. The new album features much of the same band that appeared on Destroyer's Rubies."
FAT RAY & BLACK MILK The Set Up LP / CD
*** "Black Milk somehow seems to be getting better and better in a ridiculously short period of time. "The Set Up" continues his string of incredible releases, this time with dope MC, Fat Ray. Take one listen to "Take Control" and you'll be hooked."
GENIUS / GZA Liquid Swordz Instrumentals CD
*** "Hmm, do you think we need to introduce this one? Seems pretty self explanatory."
HAWKWIND In Search Of Space CD
*** "UK remastered & repackaged reissue of the British progressive rock act's 1971 album with 3 added bonus tracks."
J.ROCC Thank You Jay Dee Vol. 2 CD
*** "J.Rocc continues where the first one left off, and this time he has equally impressive song selection. Again a special note should be made of the beautiful artwork included. Start collecting them now, because one day these will probably be the definitive Dilla mixes."
J DILLA Jay Love Japan CD
*** "After nearly a year of this release in limbo, one of J-Dilla's last projects before he died is available. Mostly instrumental (who's complaining?), a few of the songs feature guests such as Baatin (of Slum Village) and Ta'Raach."
THE KILLS Midnight Boom CD
*** "This duo subtly and organically fuses pop, glam, blues, art-punk, and hip-hop in a manner that flits between light and dark, funny and morbid, experimental and cute. The result is a short, sharp twelve track album of sensual, fresh, and atmospheric songs."
KAKI KING Dreaming Of Revenge CD
*** "King's most accessible CD yet. 'Even though half the tracks are instrumentals, I feel like I'm writing pop songs,' she says. 'We really concentrated on the melodies. Everything I write tends to be dense and chordal, but this time the idea was to layer the challenging guitar work under very simple, beautiful melodies. I really wanted them to be memorable.'"
MESHUGGAH Obzen CD
*** "Experience the heaviest, most devastating audio attack ever captured in 52 minutes and 25 seconds -- courtesy of Sweden's own metal powerhouse!"
MIKE PATTON A Perfect Place CD+DVD
*** Mike Patton's soundtrack to a short film (DVD included). Surprisingly, the soundtrack is considerably longer than the film.
SHE & HIM Volume One CD
*** "ZOOEY DESCHANEL and M. WARD met, had a radical rapport, and decided to get it on musically. The songs themselves give a respectful nod to the likes of Dusty Springfield, Linda Ronstadt, Ronnie Spector, and The Zombies."
WHY? Alopecia CD
*** "Alopecia is an album of bone-dry jokes, suicides played out in poem, musing on final moments written inside restrooms, begrudging self-affirmation, and the grit and glories of everyday living."
*** "Possibly the freshest and finest debut to come out of Detroit since "The Slim Shady EP" and "Fantastic Vol. 1." Black Milk is the real deal, especially on the beats but also on the mic, with a raw, gritty, and energetic style that could only come from Detroit."

*** "A collection of some of the funkiest film music from French pop legend SERGE GAINSBOURG. Released with DJs in mind, the record features the rare tracks 'Requiem Pour Un Con' plus 5 more tracks and some bonus beats tracks."
THE GRIEFS Throwing A Tempo Tantrum LP
*** "This long player is fronted by Eric Stein who played guitar on The Greenhornes "Dual Mono” and Holly Golightly's "Truly She is None Other." Thirteen original tracks that are guaranteed to ring through your skull."
INVADER Raw Dog 7"
*** Dang! Do you like your hardcore short and unhinged? I know: you probably think I'm talking about a person. At any rate, "Raw Dog" is Impossible not to like. Wicked with a side of face-melt.
SHARON JONES & THE DAP-KINGS Naturally LP
*** NOW IN STOCK ON VINYL! Sharon Jones' second album of soul with some slight afrobeat influence. This woman is hottt!
PERSEPHONE'S BEES Notes From The Underworld LP
*** Somewhere between Stone Roses and New Order to the Cocteau Twins and My Bloody Valentine with female vocals that may recall Stereolab's Laetitia Sadler.
SYCLOPS Where's Jason's K? 12"
*** On DFA. Produced by MAURICE FULTON. "The A-side is a deep, dark electro anthem sure to ignite dance floors. The B-side is an early-afternoon pre-sauna jam session full of funky, spiraling bass lines and dirty, hard-edged vibes."
THE TOUGH & LOVELY Teardrops LP
*** "With a crossfire of warm guitars and dynamic female vocals, this two-sided rock’n’roll scorcher is destined to be a classic. Think Shocking Blue meets The Shangri-Las and you’ll be right there."
((((( NEW ARRIVALS: CDs ))))) Badu, Black Crowes, Elvis Costello, Dirtbombs & tons more
ATLAS SOUND Let The Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel CD
*** "Atlas Sound is the solo moniker of DEERHUNTER frontman Bradford Cox. This is a bedroom collage, mixing the garage rock and ambient electronic influences previously explored with Deerhunter in a new context. The result is 14 songs of melancholy and mania."
AUTECHRE Quaristice CD
*** Perhaps you've heard of them!
ERYKAH BADU New Amerykah CD
*** Perhaps you've heard of her! She's got the style, the taste, the flow, and the grace.
BAUHAUS Go Away White CD
*** The band's first new album in over a decade.
BLACK CROWES Warpants CD
*** Put on your fightin' pants -- it's Crowes time!
ELVIS COSTELLO This Year's Model 2xCD
*** Because you needed *another* version!! "30th Anniversary Edition. 7 bonus tracks including b-sides, demos, and alternate takes. Also included: a complete 1978 concert featuring 16 previously unreleased performances."
DIRTBOMBS We Have You Surrounded LP / CD
*** "The Dirtbombs' fourth full-length is jam-packed with more of their soulful, Detroit-style, fuzztone-fueled garage-punk-pop-rock 'n' roll that has made them a popular favorite with club-goers around the globe."
DJ BLAQSTARR King Of Roq CD
*** Whoa -- new Mad Decent extra-long mix/album thing from DJ BLAQSTARR. Bound to be ultra-limited.
THE DOORS Live: Pittsburgh Civil Arena, May 2, 1970 CD
*** Because YOU needed another live Doors record! Seriously tho', Jim's on-the-spot lyrical changes are worth the price of admission. Anyway, this is a "stunning night from their final tour!"
EARTH The Bees Made Honey In The Lion's Skull CD
*** "Where 'Hex' reveled in dark satanic twang and austere american beauty, "The Bees Made Honey In The Lion's Skull" finds Dylan Carlson and the band growing into a harder, more rock, american Gospel and impovisitory direction framed by truly psychedelic production and blazing guitar sounds. BILL FRISELL appears on a few tracks, providing brilliant textures and counterpoint to the scintillating and inspired riffs of Dylan Carlson and the band. Steve Moore also returns adding heavy hammond organ and his intense jazz inspired piano playing."
FLOGGING MOLLY Float CD
*** Powerhouses, I'll tell you what. These guys, that is.
GHOSTLAND OBSERVATORY Robotique Majestique CD
*** Recently panned on Pitchfork as "Daft Punk for frat boys," tho' if you'd seen them you'd swear it was more of a Silver Apples thing going on.
GLASS CANDY Beatbox CD
*** The latest in Italians Do It Better’s string of smoking hot tour CDs. This time IDIB chief’s GLASS CANDY take the reins with tracks of synth-pop dance magic.
THE GUTTER TWINS Saturnalia CD
*** GREG DULLI (of the Afghan Whigs and drug abuse) and MARK LANEGAN (the Dark Horse!) get real, real dark.
STEPHEN MALKMUS & THE JICKS Real Emotional Trash CD
*** Perhaps you've heard of him! Former Pavement bro gets heavy with SLEATER-KINNEY's Janet Weiss on the "trap kit". His best since pigs got liberated.
VAN MORRISON Still On Top - The Greatest Hits 3xCD
*** Dang! Because one disc simply was NOT enough! For thee: three discs of the finest tunes (and skiffle!).
PETE ROCK NY's Finest CD
*** "Pete's first new album in 4 years. Featuring JIM JONES, STYLES P, REDMAN, RAEKWON, LITTLE BROTHER, MASTA KILLA, PAPOOSE & more."
ROCKET FROM THE CRYPT R.I.P. CD+DVD
*** "Rocket From The Crypt's final live performance!"
