Lonely Woman
by Ornette Coleman
R.I.P. One of my favorite artists in Jazz music. Practically the maker of Free Jazz music has passed away today at the age of 85 years old. He was an innovator to all sorts of musicians and was a legend to many as well. He will truly be missed. This is the opening track to his legendary 1959 album The Shape of Jazz to Come. Enjoy!

The Sound
by Swans
The second track of the second disc of the nearly two and a half hour epic of an album called Soundtracks For The Blind is a post rock epic that always has made me think of Godspeed You! Black Emperor. This song is just an experience like this entire album is.

Half Life
by Swans
This is probably the heaviest thing ever! The opener from the second album by Swans. The only thing heavier than their debut is their second album. They ditched one drummer, slowed down their tempo, and added even more disturbing noise. If you're looking for probably the most intense recordings ever listen to this album!

Ripple
by Grateful Dead
My personal favorite track off of the 1970 seminal album by the California jam band Grateful Dead. This album marks a very folk and country centered point in this band's nearly three decade career.
Voodoo Chile
by Jimi Hendrix
Off of his third and final album with the Experience. This album was released on October of 1968 and changed music drastically. Electric Ladyland is an amazing and important album in rock music. I chose one of my many favorites off of the album. This is the 15 minute Voodoo Chile not to be confused with the closer on this album Voodoo Child (Slight Return). Hope you Enjoy it!

Da Da Man
by Ginger Baker's Air Force
Off of their 1970 first album of two albums, both released the same year. The Air Force was called such because they were known as the highest band in music. The band also consisted of musicians such as Steve Winwood, Phil Seamen, Graham Bond, and way way more people. The band lasted a very short time but managed to leave their mark in the early 70's Jazz Fusion scene.

I Pity the Poor Immigrant
by The Angels of Light
Day three of some songs i've been enjoying over January. Released on November 8, 2005 off of the split album titled Akron/Family & Angels Of Light. Half of the album features the band Akron/Family who are on the same record label as Angels Of Light which is Michael Gira's own YoungGod Records. This is a song originally written by Bob Dylan but this was a cover performed by Angels Of Light.
