Oddio Overplay is going beddy-bye for a little while to prepare for the big day when it wakes up to find it is no longer a pupa, but a butterfly. This means no new content in July.

YOU ARE INVITED to add your original songs and artwork to the celebratory CD and to be a part of the rebuild at OddioOverplay.com.

Monday!

New site content today! The music [and antics] of Mark Harp is celebrated in this week's Featured Site. Harp is a Baltimore veteran capable of playing seemingly any genre. His imagination and experimentation bring playful joy to much of his work. Mark recently uploaded 24 solid hours of music on his site.

Recounting Xinjiang, China travels

Arabekry Seley Music Store, Kashqar

This was the first time I'd been there. I'd just met Imam down the street, and we ended up there together, as I told him I was looking for it.

Turahun was hanging out by the window, playing the ravap almost Guitar Center-style... just hanging and jamming his heart out. He didn't mind me recording and was quite pleased to listen back. He's the ravap player on the session I recorded with the other guys a few days later. After a while, he starts up with dutar... on the second dutar track, you hear Muhammad's dad arguing about something. I have a hunch it might have been about me. I'll get Imam to transcibe the banter. If anything, these give a real sense of the scene. Music, the door's open and you hear things occuring outside, a bike bell, a scooter pass by, a kid with squeaky shoes, and of course Muhammad's pop.

Ndorphin Update

Daniel at Ndorphin records wrote that the label has new releases. Judging by the little I have heard so far, they are just as fantastic as previous releases. There is even a new installment in the Anschlagdynamyk series of CDs with accompanying books. That coffee themed one was lovely. Even more proof that you can find truly fabulous music on netlabels.

Label: Domino Recording Company
Release: WIGCDR1 CDR | Released: 10/04/03

Domino: "73 minutes of live Four Tet - recorded at Rust, Copenhagen, Denmark, 30 March 2004. Capturing Kieran Hebden in the midst of his Rounds tour, this frenetic live CD-R is super-limited and won't be sticking around long."

Four Tet: "The CDR is out of stock now and there are no plans for a repress so these mp3s have been put up so that you can still get a chance to hear the music if you want to. They will only be online for a few weeks though." [18 May 2004]

Janis Joplin, blueswoman

Threadgills, Austin, Texas restaurant and music venue named for the late Kenneth Threadgill, the Grandfather of Austin Country Music, hosts a set of Janis Joplin singing the blues. The set was recorded in San Francisco in 1963, three years before Janis would join Big Brother and the Holding Company.

allmusic.com "The greatest white female rock singer of the 1960s, Janis Joplin was also a great blues singer, making her material her own with her wailing, raspy, supercharged emotional delivery."

Also offered is a set featuring Leon Russell, Jerry Garcia and Doug Sahm.
