lately all i've been listening to is arthur russell. he was a cellist, composer and producer who wrote everything from folk to pop to disco. his own personal music was largely undiscovered in his lifetime as he was a notorious perfectionist who only released two albums underneath his own name while he was alive, but he collaborated with talking heads, dinosaur l, allen ginsberg and more in his capacity as producer. your motion says is my favourite song. what a fabulous artist !!

Arthur Russell was an American cellist, musician, music producer, and former musical director of the New York avant-garde venue The Kitchen. Russell died of aids in 1992 relatively unknown. About 10 years after his death, friends of his compiled his music into compilation albums, where they have since been heard and garnered a wider appreciation. I love his songs for their softness. Some of his work is very reminiscent of Nick Drake. I’ve linked my favorite song of his, “Not Checking Up” above.

Very much worthwhile to go deep on this guy, who produced the likes of Sun Ra, Cecil Taylor, early Bob Dylan, early Simon & Garfunkel, the Mothers of Invention and the Velvet Underground. Also The Animals, including this gem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckAAj6mu2zI
