Immolation: DescentOut 10th April on Nuclear Blast Some Morbid Angel fans argue that they lost something following the departure of Richard Brunelle. Trey Azagthoth, for all his talents, benefited from a grounded counterweight, marrying flamboyance with efficiency perfectly. Opinion may be divided on the direction of MA following ‘Blessed are the Sick’, especially from ‘Domination’... Continue Reading →
All One Song - “Thrasher” with James Jackson TothWelcome back to All One Song! We’re spending some time this spring traveling deep into the Shakeyverse, talking with some great artists about their favorite Neil Young songs.On last week’s episode, Brigid Mae Power and I got into Neil’s classic lament “Albuquerque” — and I think we both agreed that Neil nailed the stark, lonesome vibe of the American southwest in that song. If you’re going to try to evoke those kinds of landscapes, you don’t need…
Pulp vs. Les Savy Fav Good morning! Today we’re taking a look at Pulp’s We Love Life as it takes on Go Forth by Les Savy Fav. 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 plan is to do […]

When I wrote about New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival a couple weeks ago, Bill posed a question the the comments: “I have a question about the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival – I know there are some jazz and New Orleans – based acts (and maybe more this year than in recent years?), ...

Father/son duo Brian Owens and Thomas Owens, Sam Cooke's "A Change is Gonna Come." What a phenomenal duet.
Do you know Baba Yetu? Take three minutes and listen to this performance of Baba Yetu. (Our ancient blogging platform doesn’t like embedded video, so you’ll have to click through to YouTube. Go ahead and click, nothing bad will happen.) Some notes: First off, if you didn’t figure it out from the short prayer at […]
"I Saw Her Standing There" by The Beatles Listen on Apple Music Your browser does not support the audio element. Which artist were you a fan of first? Write the story of the song that made you a fan. - I Saw Her Standing There by the Beatles Say what you want about Boomers, they had the best music. I was lucky to grow up in a house where my Mom would stack LPs on the record player and we'd listen to The Beatles, James Taylor, Pete Seeger, Cat Stephens, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and so many ...
I don't mean to complain, but this week is really keeping me on edge. As if it weren't enough that we're celebrating our EP release with a concert on Friday at Indra, right in the heart of the Reeperbahn district, where the Beatles played their first gigs, no, it's also completely uncertain how many people will show up and whether we'll even manage to fill the place. The record we're releasing hasn't arrived yet either. The DHL tracking status indicates delivery sometime between Thursday an...
Finally! We are so pleased to announce that Side A is now live! You can stream or download it on the website and you should soon be able to find it in other places you listen to podcasts (e.g. Spotify). We hope you enjoy it. Side A explores themes of liminality: the betweenness of times and spaces, ways we merge with the more-than-human world, moments of pause and flux in our lives and identities. Head over to Queer Out Here's home to listen to the issue, download a hi-res version if you so d...
April 14th is up there with August 8th (aka 808 Day, after the classic Roland drum machine) as the best electronic music holiday of the year. And you can fold in July 18, World Listening Day, timed to the birthday of Canadian acoustic ecologist and composer R. Murray Schafer. Each year, musicians around the world […]
Welcome to the wonderful, wonky, instrumental, imaginary, world of Larrison’s Connectors. Many of the album’s 25 tracks were discovered on a cassette – of which there was only 1 copy – by Freedom To Spend’s Jed Bindeman. Others were painstakingly reviewed and rescued from an archive accumulated by Larrison while living in Austin, Texas during […]
"...I wanted this list to capture something else — something deliberately accessible. Something glossy. Something you’d hear leaking from a car window at night. Something catchy enough to carry a body."

Tired of streaming services dictating my music discovery, I resurrected an old internet relic to reclaim my listening experience.
Two tunes make a happy accident from typing stuff into the Apple Music search bar
J. Cole is one of the bestselling recording artists in the world. He is also a decent basketball player. A few years ago, he played for the Scarborough Shooting Stars. (This would’ve been fun to talk to Faiz about. Hamza and I grew up in Scarborough!) He recently played a game with the Chinese Basketball […] The post Which story will you choose? appeared first on Herbert Lui.
On Saturday afternoon, having had a day and a half to recover from the Homegrown Heroes: From Bond to Thunderbirds concert at the Barbican, British soundtrack composer extraordinaire David Arnold was back for another taste of the London Soundtrack Festival – this time in conversation with journalist Sean Wilson at the Royal College of Music.

Hey people! 🙂 Four years ago, I featured in “Bibiel Hears Things” a song titled “Bittersweet” – a debut from an artist from north Sweden called Sky Li, also known under her real name Linnéa Norlén. I’ve really loved her music from the beginning so I’ve been following her later work, and by now, she … Continue reading Bibiel Hears Things: Sky Li – “Ladder”
Lou Reed - “Tell It To Your Heart,” Capitol Theatre, Passaic, New Jersey, September 26, 1986Major milestone alert! Lou Reed’s Mistrial was released 40 years ago this month! OK, maybe it’s not major — I don’t think anyone is clamoring for #Mistrial40 deluxe anniversary reissue. I mean, what are you going to put on it … stripped-down Lou demos, extended remixes of “The Original Wrapper,” sweet ‘86 live jams, a blu-ray with outtakes from the “No Money Down” video shoot, isolated Fernando Saunders…
Aphex Twin vs. Muse Good morning! Today we’re taking a look at Drukqs by Aphex twin as it takes on Muse’s Origin of Symmetry. Aphex Twin- Drukqs As a teenager, I once read a Flipside review where the writer said they couldn’t get into the record because they couldn’t get past the stupid title. That’s […]

Blasart: Depravatus Christianis SacrisOut 28th March on Lavadome Productions Overwrought black metal cloaks repetition with subtle shifts in emphasis and pitch, alongside some welcome decorative accents. Chugging thrash articulation beefs up the more fluid intent behind these tracks, only somewhat hampered by the obnoxious domesticity of the hardcore derived vocals. What at first appears to...
