http://squaredancer.multiply.com/ the place where I show off with my impeccable tastes in music. It's all about boosting up my geeky little ego, seen? ;-)<br><br>On occasion I'll also post a nifty little compilation or just a the odd tracks from artists I'm gushing about at the moment. Some of the music here comes from my own cd and record collection, some of it I grabbed on the net. So thanks a ton to all the original uploaders! Due to the fact that a massive amount of playlists has been deleted, full albums will only be available to my contacts. The tags should give you an idea of the general direction of this site. If you want to be added to my contacts, just send me a request. Adding a few nice, funny or cheeky words to your request is highly appreciated :-) Sat, 2 Jul 2011 04:38:21 -0000 Tue, 1 Apr 2008 12:27:06 -0000 http://multiply.com/mu/squaredancer/logo http://squaredancer.multiply.com/ 100 100 http://squaredancer.multiply.com/music/item/1948/RuffnRugged_House http://squaredancer.multiply.com/music/item/1948/RuffnRugged_House Tue, 1 Apr 2008 12:27:06 -0000 http://squaredancer.multiply.com/music/item/1938/Were_Not_Quirky_We_Are_Idiosyncratic http://squaredancer.multiply.com/music/item/1938/Were_Not_Quirky_We_Are_Idiosyncratic Sat, 8 Mar 2008 12:23:11 -0000 http://squaredancer.multiply.com/music/item/1934/Fiyah http://squaredancer.multiply.com/music/item/1934/Fiyah Fri, 29 Feb 2008 10:34:36 -0000 http://squaredancer.multiply.com/music/item/1921/Down_With_The_Bass http://squaredancer.multiply.com/music/item/1921/Down_With_The_Bass Mon, 25 Feb 2008 11:08:24 -0000 http://squaredancer.multiply.com/music/item/1879/International_Beat-Diaspora From the UK to Africa, from France to Latin America, from the US to the Caribbean: here's 2h 40 min of global cultural mongrelization in the name of beats & basslines.

From there we're travelling up north again, first stopping by on the Comoros (Sambeco, Zainaba), then going to Kenya (Orchestra Super Mazembe, Kenge Kenge) and finally arriving at the final destination of our musical journey - http://squaredancer.multiply.com/music/item/1712/From_Cameroon_to_Ethiopia Tue, 27 Nov 2007 11:17:34 -0000 http://squaredancer.multiply.com/music/item/1688/From_Cape_Verde_to_Nigeria <IMG SRC="http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/3270/africamapnq9.gif"> Part one of a musical journey from Africa's east coast to the west coast via South Africa. It starts in Cape Verde, with its graceful, Portuguese and Brazilian influenced music, and leads us to the mbalanx sound of Gambia and Senegal, to Sierra Leone and Gerald Pino's Afro-Soul, to Mali, where we encounter the desert blues of N'Gou Bagayoko and Ali Farka Touré, and finally to Nigeria and the funky Afrobeat of The Sahara All Stars and Orlando Julius. The tracks come from various sources (not least the wonderful site <A HREF="http://bennloxo.com" TARGET="***">Benn loxo du taccu</A>) and some were ripped from rare cassette tapes and vinyl LPs, so bit rates and sound quality vary. http://squaredancer.multiply.com/music/item/1688/From_Cape_Verde_to_Nigeria Mon, 26 Nov 2007 20:24:19 -0000 http://squaredancer.multiply.com/music/item/1584/Tanz_in_den_Himmel_-_German_Post-Punk_And_New_Wave_Vol._4 <IMG SRC="http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/2711/belfegorelp1azw8.gif" ALIGN=top><IMG SRC="http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/6135/schoentanzdoch7agne3.gif" ALIGN=top><IMG SRC="http://img112.imageshack.us/img112/7109/profilberuehren7adq9.gif" ALIGN=top><IMG SRC="http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/3244/deutscherkaiser10axs3.gif" ALIGN=top> http://squaredancer.multiply.com/music/item/1584/Tanz_in_den_Himmel_-_German_Post-Punk_And_New_Wave_Vol._4 Wed, 24 Oct 2007 17:23:04 -0000 http://squaredancer.multiply.com/music/item/1473/Goodbye_Joe... <IMG SRC="http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/665/zawinulrz2.jpg" ALIGN=RIGHT>As an arranger, composer and keyboarder for Cannonball Adderley, Miles Davis and his own group Weather Report he was instrumental in shaping both the smooth sound of Soul-Jazz and the spaced-out, sombre electronic fusion of the early seventies. Yesterday, Joe Zawinul, the great pioneer of electronic keyboards in jazz, passed away from skin cancer in his native city Vienna. His first solo album Zawinul - recorded in 1970 with luminaries like Herbie Hancock, Woody Shaw and Jack DeJohnette - includes his own take on what is not only one of his most popular compositions, but probably also his most important one. RIP, Joe. http://squaredancer.multiply.com/music/item/1473/Goodbye_Joe...

First, there's two tracks from <b>Mona Mur & Die Mieter's</b> 1982 EP Jeszcze Polska: dark, expressionist and angular proto-goth, somewhere between Malaria!, X-Mal Deutschland and early Siouxsie. Die Mieter were Neubauten members Alex Hacke, Marc Chung and F.M. Einheit plus one Gode B. Although the band broke up after their only EP, Einheit and Hacke continued performing and recording sporadically with singer Mona Mur until the mid eighties. Then, there's Süchtig (Health Dub), the dub version of <b>Christiane F.'s</b> Wunderbar, with both Hacke and Einheit credited as producers, musicians and co-composers. More leftfield disco that wouldn't sound out of place on Zé Records' Mutant Disco compilation.

It's not intended as a sort of overview of that year's musical output by any means, so no Beatles, Stones, Dylan, CCR, Led Zep, Velvets, Aretha, Marvin or Tim Buckley. In fact, I just needed a theme for a playlist and figured that "1969" is as good as any. I think it turned out quite nicely and I'm especially pleased with the less obvious choices in there. So, hope you enjoy! http://squaredancer.multiply.com/music/item/1293/Its_1969_mmmmokay Wed, 18 Jul 2007 14:16:19 -0000 http://squaredancer.multiply.com/music/item/1278/My_Teenage_Kicks_Pt._2 Side b quite clearly betrays my love of American post-hardcore at the time. I had to cheat a little bit though: I don't have the necessary equipment to do vinyl rips and couldn't find rips of fIREHOSE's If'n and Shudder To Think's Ten Spot. So instead of Sometimes and Speak you're getting Some Things (off fROMOHIO) and Red House (off Funeral At The Movies, or in this case the 20 Years of Dischord box http://squaredancer.multiply.com/music/item/1278/My_Teenage_Kicks_Pt._2 Thu, 5 Jul 2007 15:02:15 -0000 http://squaredancer.multiply.com/music/item/1267/My_Teenage_Kicks_Pt._1 Recently I stumbled over a mix tape I made when I was 18 or 19 years old.

Option 30 were an early eighties synthpop/new wave combo and Reznor was their leadsinger and keyboardist before he turned into the Lord of Darkness. The vocals on this version are actually a bit embarrassing, methinks http://squaredancer.multiply.com/music/item/1265/Option_30_-_Der_Kommissar Sun, 1 Jul 2007 10:24:22 -0000 http://squaredancer.multiply.com/video/item/94/Foundations_Trailer This one looks good: Foundations is a documentary about New York's late seventies/early eighties underground club scene.

No info on this clip other than that it was recorded on last year's tour. Their roadie Mitch is guesting on vocals, watch his awesome high-kicks. If there's one band who embodies all the best aspects of the punkrock spirit, it has to be this collective of raucous yet tender, cynical yet idealistic anarchists.
