I don’t think I have the correct cable to connect this library branch with my home stereo system.

Following 2 releases on LA-based Leaving Records, local duo Green-House’s latest long-player comes care of Brooklyn’s Ghostly International. Hinterlands sees the pair further evolve their electro-acoustic “Eco-Ambient” sound.  Pieces like the softly syncopated Sun Dogs lean into the acoustic. Its laidback, languid, lounge-y exotica laced with Oriental timbres and tones. Well Of The World is […]

"Walk This Way" by Hayseed Dixie Listen on Apple Music Your browser does not support the audio element. Post a cover that's done in a different style than the original version. I used to listen to a podcast called Coverville and they would frequently have some blue grass covers of different songs. I picked this version because I wrote about the Run-DMC cover and I wanted to highlight how you can do a song in multiple ways.

Today's Jam 🎶🧌 I've falling down the rabbit whole on YouTube of Gwar covering covering different pop songs. It started with them covering Pink Pony Club. I'm not going to post a link because I want you to ruin (improve) your own YouTube algorithm by searching for this yourself. 😂

Two tunes to almost kind of make a travelogue of the week's highlights

I want one!!! The post CDM’s comparison of the Akai MPC60 and new MPC Sample appeared first on Sampleface.

my favorite bit of Feldman's Triadic Memories comes at around 21 minutes, the clarity of the 2nds and 9ths.

I have been fortunate enough to see Klaus Mäkelä give a couple of concerts as part of the BBC Proms over the past two years – before the first of these I had no idea about his growing reputation, I was simply interested in hearing Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique. Instantly mesmerised, I quickly got up to speed, […]

All One Song :: A Neil Young Podcast (Season Two)This past weekend, my daughter asked me: “How much can anyone even talk about Neil Young?” Well, we’re going to find out! Welcome (back) to Miami Beach — All One Song Season Two, presented by Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions and Talkhouse kicks off next week! In case you missed it, this is my podcast, wherein I talk to writers / musicians / artists / cool people about their favorite (or at least one of their favorite) Neil Young songs. (And who ...

Rufus Wainwright takes on Kings of Convenience Good morning! Today we’re taking a look at Poses by Rufus Wainwright (#64) and Kings of Convenience’s Quiet is the New Loud (#65). Note: As many of you saw, I recently wrote about a Best Record of 2001 challenge and noted that I’d be writing some of these […]

McLusky “As A Dad” Anger is real. It’s arguably the strongest emotion we can feel, and it’s certainly the most destructive. There’s lots of ways for anger to be righteous and sensible, something that fuels constructive behavior. But I think more often than not, we experience anger in stupid, pointless, petty ways. It manifests in […]

For today’s TDC – a short jazzy tune

The other day, I had a casual conversation with colleagues about buying music. Nobody gave a rat’s ass; they all just either downloaded the .mp3 files or used Spotify. Most conversations on this topic end like this so I expected the response from more than a few individuals, but not from everyone. I was deemed the silly fool who buys stuff and supports artists. Yet at the same time, we all bemoan the fact that creative individuals are losing their job due to the rise of generative...

It’s not often that I go to the National Concert Hall in Dublin on a Monday evening, but I made an exception last night to attend a concert by the National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine (who are currently on tour and have recently played a number of concerts in the UK). It was an interesting […]

"Street Survivors" by Lynyrd Skynyrd Post a cover that's done in a different style than the original version. The original cover of Street Survivors by Lynyrd Skynyrd showed the band standing in a street surrounded by flames. It was released October 17, 1977. Three days later, the band's chartered plane crashed in Mississippi, killing Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, and Cassie Gaines, along with crew members. Because the artwork showed the band engulfed in fire, the image suddenly felt disturb...

I am a big fan of Depeche Mode and we managed to go to Germany three years ago to see them live at their Memento Mori concert, which is actually the name of their last album. This interesting article is an interview of Marta Salogni who was initially the mixing engineer for Memento Mori, James […]

Two razor-cut slices of electro from Venture Silk (Ruslan Shyshniak), a Ukrainian ex-pat based in the Netherlands. I will absolutely never tire of well-executed Detroit-style electro. When done well–as is the case here–it’s the ideal vehicle for Roland/vintage synth fetishism. Some may idolize the 909s of 4×4 techno and 303s of acid house (I love […] The post From the Mailbox 46 first appeared on Palms Out Sounds.

Sound artist, composer

Coyote are the latest creators to be commissioned by LA label, Pinchy & Friends. The Is It Balearic? boys have risen to the challenge and delivered a seamless 40-minute suite. Titled Nyabinghi the piece dovetails the duo’s biggest musical passions, reggae, dub and Ibiza’s hedonistic heritage. The results are a blissed out blend of Benirrás […]

If you major in music at most universities, you have to take several semesters of aural skills classes. These classes traditionally consist of two main activities: sight-singing and dictation, that is, hearing a melody or chord sequence a few times and then writing it out in notation. Aural skills class was the definite low point … Continue reading "Check out these grooves that I have my aural skills students improvise over"

A Monument I Shall Raise in FlameOut 20th March on Werewolf Promotion Poland’s Deathlike Dawn continue the direction set by their previous album ‘Noc czarna czernią otchłani’, extending their tendrils further into semi-chromatic, dissonant territory for this latest release, sacrificing the hazy atmosphere coating 2024’s ‘Among the Graves of the Archetypes’ for a more stripped...

NMxZG - Electric Scribbles on the GridGuitarist Nick Millevoi co-founded Basic with Chris Forsyth and Mikel Patrick Avery a few years back and then stepped away from the band after their excellent debut LP. But he explores some similar textures and tones with the perfectly titled Electric Scribbles on the Grid, a recent collab with Zach Goldstein, out now on Island House. The six tracks here take inspiration from the always fresh Fripp/Eno axis (with a little Lanois in there, too) and the kos...

Here we go! It’s a battle for the Midwest as Wilco takes on Slipknot. Good morning! Today we’re taking a look at Wilco’s Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (#1) and Slipknot’s Iowa (#128) Note: As many of you saw, I recently wrote about a Best Record of 2001 challengeand noted that I’d be occasionally writing some of […]

We humans are great (mostly). Our amazing minds let us do incredible things. And sometimes, they try to screw with us. When that overlaps with guitars, I find it massively interesting. Check out the story of The Mystery B-String Noise…
