Sudor (en Vivo), by Hablan Por La Espalda 13 track album

Hablan por la Espalda, 2015-10-23 La Trastienda, Montevideo, Uruguay

Hard to describe but I like it a lot. Rock mixed with various other styles, sung in Spanish, with prominent use of organ (keyboards), unusual and original music. 13 songs, 1h 13m.

Nomeansno, 2013-05-14 Loppen, Christiania, Copenhagen, Denmark
Nice long set from the final Nomeansno tour, intense and entertaining performance, sounds very good. Some good-humoured banter. The River started off sounding like electronic music which was a surprise. 1h 31m.

Great sounding tape of a highly enjoyable performance. Minimal banter, appreciative audience - someone heckles 'arigato' (thanks) and that's the sort of positive vibes to be found here. 8 pieces, 1h 23m.

Here are a few low-effort alternatives:
- random tie-breaker, just shuffle the list and pick the top X that are needed
- sort on rym average scores, pick the strongest X
- sort on rym votes, pick the most popular X.

At the end of 'Concertina': "I'm told she was Country Joe and the Fish's Wurly (Wurlitzer) and we've left her painted as she was". Mostly excellent sound quality, strange flapping noise during 'Daniel'. 1h 30m.

The rap and the banter flow together making this compelling and fun listening despite cuts and audio issues. Loads of profanity but good-natured - Chuck and Flava make it clear which side they're on. 1h 20m.
