New reissue: La Lupe - Con El Diablo En El Cuerpo. It was released in 1960, before she left Cuba. I haven't heard another album by her that has quite the same sound. For one thing, much of this doesn't sound all that "Latin." At times the rhythms are more like Anglophone rock or country or just basically whatever popular music was around at the time. The later albums do include nods to that type of music too, but they still sound more Latin to me, overall. Anyway, I like it as a change of pace.

“I think people like me,” the legendary La Lupe, one of the most electrifyingly memorable performers to ever blitz Planet Earth, once said in an interview, “because I do what they’d like to, but can’t get free enough to do.” True, some would say La Yi Yi Yi was free spirit incarnate; others would say she was simply possessed. Literally. No surprise, given the voluptuous vocalist’s onstage inclination to bounce off walls, rip her clothes off, throw shoes at her band, and claw, bite, and scratch herself, all
the while belting a tune with orgasmic zest. Such musical drama reportedly drew international celebs like Marlon Brando, Ernest Hemingway, Simone De Beauvoir, and Jean Paul Sartre into her court. But it was also such anything-can-happen antics, along with new leader Castro’s bent on nationalizing and cleaning up Havana’s infamous nightclub scene, that eventually landed La Lupe in New York City where, from 1962 until her untimely death thirty years later, she would experience the ultimate highs
and lows of life in a business that would crown her the Queen of Latin Soul yet watch idly as she died a pauper’s death.

That's pretty intense. When she's saying "el diaaabloooo," her voice reminds of me of Ringo. Specifically what she did during "jusui negai" in DO. Good stuff, dude.

Brian Eno - "True Wheel"

Taking Tiger Mountain is an album I still go back to pretty often. I find it's good for when I'm not sure what else to listen to. My favorite of Eno's "rock" albums. Seeing that cover makes me a little sad I no longer have my vinyl copy (despite the fact that I have no turntable and haven't had one for ages).

Cool

I really love Nana Mouskouri. Similarity to Ringo? She sings and has a mole...

Over and Over

The new Boris album, Variations, has some really good stuff on it. I'm still not clear if these are all remakes or if some of the tracks are compiled as is from previous releases, but at the very least a lot of them are new versions.

On first listen, the alternate "Rainbow" and "Naki Kyoku" are stand-outs. And I like "Yesterday Morning" and "Floor Shaker," neither of which I've heard before in any form as far as I remember.
