Before a couple weeks ago, I had never heard of Jon Visger, his main project Mason Proper, or his side project Absofacto. This all changed when I stumbled around the interweb and found the track “No Power” from Absofacto. I’m not quite sure what it was about the track but the mellow guitar and the shuffle of the drums really grabbed my attention and I thought I should take a stab at listening to some Mason Proper. I am quite pleased to say that I thoroughly enjoyed listening to their debut album There is a Moth in Your Chest and their latest release Olly Oxen Free. The following video is for the track “Lock and Key” off Olly Oxen Free (like that rhyming?)

“Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone
as we’re approaching this new year, I felt it was time to let go of some things that have been gathering dust. Some old things, and some new things, I tried to pick out tracks that I know yall haven’t heard yet so there should be surprises around every turn.

can’t believe i’ve been making tracks for over 10 years now..That said, there’s so much to learn still.

I hope you all enjoy this mix. Thanks to the Gaslamp Killer for doing an incredible job on this.

Can’t wait for you all to hear my album ‘Cosmogramma’ coming out April 20th 2010 on Warp Records.

Enjoy

Rather than post a year end list on my own website, i chose to post on weworemasks. I was glad to have the opportunity to give my opinion to those gents .. this is the opinion of course that DOES NOT revolve around Animal Collective, Grizzly Bear, Phoenix, or any of those other bands that every one seems to be drooling over … grrrr.

Here is my list that I quickly threw together:

From Daptone Records:

“Christmas? Soul? Christmas Soul! Here you go, kids: Sharon Jones’ debut holiday song! In this self-penned little jingle-jangler, Sharon takes us back to her childhood, where as a young girl in the projects of Brooklyn she wondered how Santa was ever going to bring her any toys when clearly, “There Ain’t No Chimneys in the Projects.” As she soon finds out, the true miracle of Christmas was no fat man shimmying down heating ducts, but rather the love with which her own mother had been secretly tucking those presents under that tree. Awww. With a little help from Sharon’s backup singers and some tasty violin runs offered up by the Bushwick Philharmonic, the Dap-Kings lock into their usual nasty little pocket and the groove blossoms like a soulful red pointsettia beneath Sharon’s story. The flip gives Daptone mouth-man Binky Griptite an instrumental taste overwhich he lays down a heartfelt holiday message of tolerance and togetherness. Right on, Santa!

Available December 8th!“
