Micro-Awakenings Available at Mutant Sounds
From the UK magazine The Wire today comes news that the music blog Mutant Sounds has “died and been resurrected.” In its prior incarnation, it was an outlet for those interested in rare, obscure and out-of-print recordings of the kind favored by readers of The Wire. 
In its new incarnation, it will continue to be an outlet for the same kinds of music, with the difference that now all material posted for download will have the imprimatur of the artists and/or labels involved. So, head there now to check out Micro-Awakenings by Brad Laner of Medicine and Savage Republic fame, whose 2010 release Natural Selections made my best-of list for that year. This one, however, is not for the faint of ear. Be warned, and be happy.
