Don't tell me how embodied you are,or how hard it is to be an empath.Just feel the full moon flowthrough every nerve.Taste the birth of starseight million light years awayin the pulse of the blue veinin your bare foot. Let your blood atoms dancewith Radha Gopalin radiant darkness,not in dreams but flamesof flesh too wild, too beautiful to nameexcept in the language of tears,or a stab of breath&

Richard Lloyd - The Grotto, New Haven, Connecticut, March 15, 1985I pointed you in the direction of Richard Lloyd’s GoFundMe page a couple weeks back — let me point you in the direction of that page again! The response has been great, but if you still haven’t given or can give a little more, the new goal has almost been reached. Hopefully, this infusion of cash will help Richard beat his cancer diagnosis.Once you’ve taken care of that, check out Alex Butterfield’s typically excellent tape of…

Cover version(s) of the month #123Olivia Newton John covers George Harrison Bonus coversGeorge Harrison and Olivia Newton-John cover Bob Dylan's If Not For YouI recently bought a 7-inch of Paul McCartney's Coming Up on Discogs and was pleasantly surprised when Olivia Newton-John's version of George Harrison's What Is Life? (a record/cover I didn't know existed) was flagged up as another record I might be interested in. I absolutely was! Especially at the bargain price of £3. This is the modern…

[1966]Come on all you over 40 teenage delinquents let's go to the beach! Get your board shorts and beers, bikini girls await! Sometimes I think this crude lo-fi beach party banger is the greatest fun beach tune of all.

Today’s TDC says Words are music, right? Or is it, music is words? JazzKeys brings words and music together in an interesting way. As you type, it makes music. Then you can share your words/music. Write a message to the DS106 Community with JazzKeys and share the link with us. Together, we can create a collaborative performance. Try JazzKeys I chose a quote from Brian Eno: people do much better when they don’t think they’re being artists … if you don’t call it art, you’re likely to get a better…

Summer festival season has wrapped up, so Shelley and Joseph take the temperature of the festival circuit. Are big outdoor festivals becoming little more than package holidays? Is “social media-ification” ruining the festival experience? And where did all these children come from?

Time Bandits (1981)

Pick a song from an artist or band that’s had the biggest impact on your life. Queen were my first love. Finding their albums in my parents record collection was like finding a rare jewel. Mostly because they spanned the time of my awakening to pop/rock music so I had a contemporary view of them (Radio GaGa) to play against the album I found (Jazz). Billy Joel was in there too, as were the Carpenters, Neil Sedaka, and a myriad of folk artists (traditional Scottish and contemporary). My music…

“Slit Art” is a second compilation series from Tokyo’s Form@ Records. The first volume was released in 2025, and intended as a companion to the label’s long-running “Art Form” collections. Broadening the imprint’s scope, which initially featured only homegrown artists, the latest instalment contains exclusives from contemporary Argentina, Australia, France, Greece, Mexico, Portugal and the UK, as well as Japan, demonstrating the reach and influence of this tiny, one-man indie operation. Where,…

Review by Sandre the Giant Released: 26th June 2026 I’m not going to lie here, if I come across a death metal record about dinosaurs, you’ve peaked my fucking interest immediately. Swiss newcomers Vorax have just released their debut full length, ‘Volcano Shock’, back in June independently and it follows up their 2022 debut EP ‘Jurassic Dawn’, which I completely missed and am now disappointed in myself about. So, death metal and dinosaurs then, with cover art that looks like that?? Let’s be…

A bit bittersweet to mention again the superb compilation tape “Everlasting Happiness” that my friend Andreas Hering put together back in 1991 when he was in his hometown of Worms, Germany. That tape is indeed a favourite as it included bands like Nine Steps to Ugly, the Ammonites, Spinning Wheels, The Mayfields, even Shine! who I released a retrospective CD. All of the bands and songs are really good. Many of them I have showcased in the blog. Today I want to write about the very obscure…

Just look at those icebergs. An unavoidable symbol of the impending doom that threatens even the POTUS...what a despicable fucking bastard that total cunt is. He should be sliced up on an inverted crucifix and fed to the sharks, if there are any left......you total fucking cunt....and if you voted for it, you deserve the horrible death we are all going to have.Yeah, you guessed it, i'm pissed, as in drunk, but also also angry.

Latimore’s “Let’s Straighten It Out” is one of my favourite soul records of the ’70s. Or any time, come to that. Largely because of how it sounds, but also because of its difference. Most deep-soul ballads are written from a solipsistic perspective: the singer is concentrating on him- or herself, bemoaning his or her loss and the consequent heartbreak. That’s understandable enough. Such a song enables the listener to make a very direct identification with the message, whether it’s “The Tracks…

Bonobo's new album 'Distance in Static' is due out at the end of this week. Loving the track featuring Joy Crookes - 'Always on your side'. The video has lots of Peckham snapshots, including the 'Welcome to Peckham' sign at the Prince of Peckham pub and some Rye Lane shots (I think including Peckham Soul record shop).As featured here before, previous Joy Crookes videos have included Brixton, Elephant & Castle, East Street and other South London locations.

Girls these days are embracing rock and rewriting the traditional narrative of the 90s that centers corporate grunge to highlight a more demographically and stylistically diverse modern rock canon. Olivia Rodrigo has singled out The Breeders and The Cure as...

Antietam - The Counting GameSince we mentioned Antietam in that Run On post last week, let’s mention Antietam again! The very long-running band, formed way back in 1984 by husband and wife duo Tara Key and Tim Harris, has a new album out. Or should that be “new.” The Counting Game in fact features some recordings and songs that from decades ago; as noted in the liners “Clearly, time travel is not off the table for Antietam.” But regardless of provenance, the album’s 10 tunes work perfectly…

this video about the album without you i'm nothing by placebo is so good. it's definitely worth watching.

Atomic Aggressor: The Occult ForcesOut 28th August on Hells Headbangers With a history stretching back to the mid-80s, Atomic Aggressor are arguably one of the first to enter Chile’s death metal race along with Pentagram. But following their reformation in 2007 this is only their second album, which may partly explain why they haven’t receive the same plaudits as their peers. It’s fair to say that Chilean death metal has grown by leaps and bounds even since Atomic Aggressor’s debut ‘Sights of…

I stumbled upon Pritesh Walia completely by chance. He is a skilled jazz guitarist with a warm, melodic tone.

This is a weird one? Firstly, it was intended to be the fourth post in the sequence when we looked at the Lik Be / Gordy sets of Wild West kids and knock-off cake decorations, back in June (although I don't think these have any connection with LB, beyond the humerous and Wild West subject matter), and secondly, because I don't seem to have shown my trio on the blog, when they only came in

This has been a nice music week for me. There’s been class prep, grading, and emailing which gave me time to enjoy some music while doing relatively lower brain power work. This week, I decided to celebrate the two classic 1966 Charles Lloyd albums: Dream Weaver and Forest Flower: Charles Lloyd at Monterey. The latter was recorded at the Monterey Jazz Festival on September 8, 1966. The former recorded in March of that year and released during the same summer. The albums featured Lloyd on sax…
