It’s late summer 2026; as I start writing this post, it’s Lollapalooza weekend. My TikTok FYP is full of videos of Charli XCX and Slayyter’s performances at the megaconcert. My Bluesky feed is full of Gen X music critics and...

Scribed by Sandre the Giant Released: 13th June 1996 One of 1996’s most fascinating bands and debut albums, the four classical musicians that came together at a prestigious Finnish Performing Arts school to play Metallica songs on their cellos for a bit of fun probably never expected to become a worldwide phenomenon, but for Max Lilja, Antero Manninen, Paavo Lötjönen, and Eicca Toppinen ‘Plays Metallica by Four Cellos’ took their musical careers in an, I’m sure, unexpected direction. I can’t…

I’ve mentioned before that I’ve moved to listening to music off USB Thumb Drives through the built in interface in the ‘infotainment unit’ in my ’22 Jeep Wrangler Willys. I purchase (relatively) cheap thumb drives with 8 or 16GB capacity and arrange music into playlists and the like, much like I did back in the days of burning CDs or making mix tapes on cassette. I obtain my music via ripping purchased CDs or purchasing flac files online. For the online purchases I try to make the purchase as…

As I try to write more here after a bit of a dry spell, I thought that I would share my Bandcamp Friday purchases from yesterday. Bandcamp isn’t perfect, I understand the concerns that some people have with it as a platform but with Bandcamp Friday it’s still one of the best ways to support a lot of artists. Also I kind of admire their commitment to never improving the search function. So when this Bandcamp Friday rolled around I wanted to get at least get a few things I’ve had my eyes, and…

Man I love this song. This is the closest song I’ve heard to “early Weezer” maybe ever, certainly since the Green Album. New album has had three singles so far and it’s shaping up to be one of their best in while. =w= 🤘 https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=Vj4AaLSoric

Is it just me or does Koro Sensei from Assassination Classroom look like the album art of Watermelon Man’s Head Hunters album?

Last Thursday, my brother and I were driving and decided to put on the FM radio. We don’t usually listen to it because of the audio quality, but it suited the chill drive. After a few songs, we heard something that sounded off. Synthetic. I looked into it later, and it turns out my intuition was right: we were listening to a song built by artificial intelligence. The song is “Dimanche Midi Pile” by Gisèle. It was released in early July 2026, published and distributed directly by Warner Music…

Brokeback Mountain is a 2005 American independent neo-Western romantic drama film directed by Ang Lee and produced by Diana Ossana and James Schamus. Adapted from the 1997 short story by Annie Proulx, the screenplay was written by Ossana and Larry McMurtry. The film stars Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway, and Michelle Williams. Its plot depicts the complex romantic relationship between two American cowboys, Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist, in the American West from 1963 to 1983.1…

“It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” by Andy Williams Listen on Apple Music Your browser does not support the audio element. Tell us about your very favorite holiday / Christmas song. But it’s August! I guess if you buy into it, Christmas can seem like the most wonderful time of the year, and if it’s beginning to look a lot like that time of year, then it’s usually when the same raft of songs appear on the radio. Runner up: Marshmallow World because it’s magical and fun! I think for most…

On October 19th, 1963 CashBox announced the following: Morty Wax, another indie about town, reported Tony Babbie and Jimmy Nebb, Armour Recording execs, have formed a subsid label called Avet with a first issue tagged, "School Days" by Lloyd Arnold.)The Avet label leased two tracks from Buford Cody's Memphis label.

I read that in a comment below Electric Callboy’s latest release The Way You Are. Also fits my Bandcamp Friday haul today. The full discography of Wolves & Wolves & Wolves & Wolves is 75% off. I enjoyed their live show at last year’s Not Sorry Fest in Hamburg. 13 releases for 15 € was a no-brainer. Live Session in the House of Despair by Rabbit Leader from Rivne, Ukraine. I came for the enchanting cover of Limp Bizkit’s My Way and stayed for the proficient trip hop sound. Wingsuit by Waving the…

Pega Um! mini music player widget (2026/08/08) As I'm working on the site for the local fanzine project Pega Um!, I want to welcome with music the people who pick up the zine and find it interesting enough to visit the site. The playlist is made up of songs by local artists they won't hear on the radio, and is an homage to old alternative events called Junta Tribo (Tribal Gathering) that would have rock, hip-hop, punk, reggae, metal and ska groups all in the same line-up. Check it out here.

ECM Autumn Highlights is a sampler curated by Manfred Eicher and released in collaboration with the Italian magazine Musica Jazz. Drawing from ECM’s late-2017 catalogue, it covers a broad expressive range while retaining the sense of a single, carefully plotted journey. The Vijay Iyer Sextet opens with “Poles,” also the first track on Far From Over (ECM 2581). Saxophonist Steve Lehman enters with fierce momentum, pushing against a rhythm section that never settles into mere support. Stephan…

Very happy to have found this at a local shop a couple of days ago.…

Luke Owen from Death Is Not The End has launched into a run of releases reissuing electronic music put out by CRI - Composers Recordings, Inc., originally co-founded by Otto Luening in 1954 and active right up until 2003. This is an obsession close to my heart, having picked up a lot of CRItronica as vinyl over the years, chased down others through the Cal Arts record library, and found still more on the internet. CRI put out an even larger amount of non-electronic music, 20th Century…

“A nostalgia é um sentimento permanente. Em outras palavras, sentimos nostalgia mesmo vivendo em nosso próprio país, ao lado das pessoas que mais amamos. Apesar de um lar feliz e de uma família feliz, um homem pode sofrer de nostalgia simplesmente porque sente que sua alma está sendo limitada, que ela não se desenvolve da maneira como deseja. A nostalgia é o sentimento de impotência diante do mundo, a dor de não conseguir transmitir sua espiritualidade aos outros.” Andrei Tarkóvski Se você…

Hey people! Today, I’d like to share with you something by Canadian musician Pamela Morgan. She is from Newfoundland, and was the lead singer and co-founder of the band Figgy Duff, one of the province’s most prominent bands in the ’70s and ’80s. The band ceased their activity as such after the death of its founder Noel Dinn, and after that Pamela pursued a solo career. She grew up in a musical family and is very versatile, being a singer, multi-instrumentalist and producer, and has her own…

Two years and change have passed since I last addressed the topic of other jazz artists doing covers of Guaraldi compositions, back in this original post.To recap, the goal is to compile an ever-expanding list of jazz artists who've recorded a) original tribute compositions honoring Guaraldi; and b) covers of Guaraldi compositions other than "Cast Your Fate to the Wind" and the Charlie Brown Christmas quartet — "Linus and Lucy," "My Little Drum," "Christmas Is Coming" and "Christmas Time Is…

A quick one to take you into the weekend. Tokyo Shoegazer have released a second video clip from Remains, and like the video for『Missing』, it’s a pretty straight performance clip of a banger of a song given a distinct visual aesthetic by trading the multiple exposure camera techniques for high-key lighting. Short and sweet. The post Tokyo Shoegazer -『The Reckoning』 appeared first on Space Echo.

Great show Wednesday night — August 5, 2026 — at Mr. Tipple’s (SF), a quartet led by bassist Billy Edwards, with Rico Jones (tenor sax), Joe Warner (piano), and Sylvia Cuenca (drums). Jamal Ramirez was listed as drummer on the venue’s site, but something must have come up. And then, during the second of two sets, trumpeter Joel Behrman joined for “Blue Monk” and stayed until the end. (Behrman’s group, Currents, played earlier that evening at Black Cat, about a mile away.) Warner did expert…

[1995]The guitarist from St✮Johnny Tom Leonard had a solo side project called Luxurious Bags. Their cd Frayed Knots was a toppermost lo-fi psychedelic slacker noise pop jam. There's a gorgeous epic psychedelic anthem hidden beneath the muffled lo-fi layers of hazy sound here.

A quick one to let you know about some upcoming gigs where I'm doing visuals, again with Picodevil.On Monday the 17th (so, like a week and a half away), I'll be doing visuals at AlgoLush. The vibes are: nice and chill, some nice grooves. Headlining is Nū, who is over from Australia! You can get tickets here, minimum cost of £6.And on September 16th (which is a Wednesday), I'll be playing at the 17th birthday of TidalCycles, and also really the birthday of that whole family of uzu languages (of…

Lyres - The Grotto, New Haven, Connecticut, August 18, 1984RIP to Lyres frontman Jeff “Monoman” Conolly, who passed away last week. As his nickname tells us, this guy was indeed monomaniacal in his quest for garage rock perfection over the decades. Is “garage rock perfection” a possibility? I don’t know — but I do know that this tape of Lyres way back in 1984 in New Haven is a scorcher, overflowing with stabbing Vox Continental keys, snarled vocals and rip-snorting guitars. Perfect! Thanks to…
