My cousin’s band Chalk Teeth just dropped a new single. It’s an entrancing and unique concoction that touches on elements of dark wave, synth punk, shoegaze, early electronic dance music and krautrock, all while leading with vocals in the Polish language. I’m very proud, even though I had nothing to do with it (other than somewhat genetically). Check it out! 🎵
This is another post that I had sort of queued up for while I was on vacation, but it was in a far less complete state than the last one, and only tangentially met the brief. しろつめ備忘録 – which translates to “Shirotsume Bibōroku” or “Shirtosume’s Boboroku” but are just generally called Shirtosume hail from Tokyo […] The post しろつめ備忘録 -『最近なんだか』 appeared first on Space Echo.
Best Record of 2001: Day 20 Good morning! Today we’re taking a look at Elbow’s Asleep in the Back as it faces off against The Glow Pt. 2 from The Microphones. 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 up. The […]
Neil Young - Jones Beach Marine Theater, Wantagh, New York, June 14, 1989In this week’s James Jackson Toth episode of All One Song, our esteemed guest tells the tale of the concert that made him want to become a songwriter — Neil Young at Jones Beach in June 1989! A legendary gig not only for that Brooooce Springsteen guest appearance at the very end, but also because the second performance of “Rockin’ In The Free World” this evening ended up opening Freedom. Oh what a night in Wantagh. And you…
From lush pop to microtonal mathrock via swamp witch. Yep.

I just made an instrumental rendition of Teresa Teng's 何日君再來. Planning to make more small instrumentals like these. Nothing grand. Just small things and put it together as a free download album. v. smol win: I'm starting to get small payouts for my music. Small as in, don't-quit-your-day-job small -- but real. Mostly from plays through animations made by my friend. Watched Project Hail Mary recently. Still thinking about it. Want to watch it again with my daughter if she agrees. Also watched Un…

Is it okay to play "The Dark Side of the Moon" if the near side of the Moon is in lunar night?
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. […]

Appetite whiplash Appetites are strange things. Once an appetite returns it usually does so with interest. I lost my appetite for heavy guitar music last summer, when it returned it did so with whiplash inducing rapaciousness by late autumn, spurred on in part by what was actually a pretty solid year for metal. As spring... Continue Reading →
If you’ve been reading this site over the years, you’ll know that I have a deep respect for the artistry and person of Anoraak (AKA Frédéric Rivière), one of the founding members of the Nantes, France-based Valerie Collective who has gone on to become a successful nu-disco artist on Chromeo’s Juliet Records. Recently, he announced […] The post Anoraak Announces Special ‘Figure’ 10th Anniversary News appeared first on Vehlinggo.
It’s nice to hear.
I made a single-sheet cheat sheet for the EP-133 K.O II a while back. This one for the EP-40 Riddim isn't significantly different (since the EPs don't differ much either). However I did change the style for you design sticklers, and this includes key combos
{{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.
