Attempting to recreate the golden yesterdays of Jose Padilla’s White Isle sunsets with the tunes of today… It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these “Chocolate Milk” round ups. The chilled stuff that I’ve listened to has tended to come from albums, and those releases have then got their own “stand alone” reviews. […]

{{yt:https://youtu.be/_XCPoa_bp7Q?si=v9kdeTPSk3V8L3Ig}} The title track to the new James Bond game, First Light, was released today. Lana Del Ray provides the vocals while David Arnold arranged the music. I wouldn’t say it’s overly memorable but it’s a very solid Bond song and I could easily see this being used in a...

In our teens, we formed a band. The lineup was based more on who was in our circle than on musical skill. Maybe there was someone you liked, and even if they didn’t play any instruments, surely they could shake the tambourine.

Built to Spill vs. Mercury Rev Good morning! Today we’re taking a look at Built to Spill’s Ancient Melodies of the Future as it takes on All is Dream by Mercury Rev. Note: As many of you saw, I recently wrote about a Best Record of 2001 challenge and noted that I’d be writing some […]

Seems like we actually will be blessed with a new album soon, and the decade’s crypitc campaign wasn’t all for naught. Lots of prayer hands emoji happening on my feed today. The post Boards of Canada – Tape 05 first appeared on Palms Out Sounds.

Television - CBGB, New York City, April 16, 1976In the spring of 1976, the Patti Smith Group was riding high on Horses, touring relentlessly across North America, spreading the NYC punk gospel far and wide. Meanwhile, their brothers-in-arms in Television were still pretty much right where they started — on the Bowery, playing to the faithful. Hey, if we learned anything from Tom Verlaine’s unusual path, it’s that he moved at his own unpredictable pace, regardless of any outside forces. Fifty…
