MorgonglödOut 27th March on Vidfare/NoEvDia Mortuus, aka Daniel Rostén, continues his habit of saving his best for well outside the Marduk roadshow. This is the third album released under the DomJord moniker, his own contribution to the long tradition of black metal artists dabbling in various ambient side projects. Being a relatively late comer to... Continue Reading →
Andrew Bird’s Bowl of Fire vs. The Coup Good morning! Today we’re taking a look at Swimming Hour by Andrew Bird’s Bowl of Fire as it takes on The Coup’s Party Music. Note: As many of you saw, I recently wrote about a Best Record of 2001 challenge and noted that I’d be writing some […]
A bunch of new-to-me music with a super secret theme
Lately, I’ve been working a lot outside. We’ve built a pergola, covered a concrete cylinder used as a well with stones and old bricks… and I’ve listened to a lot of music. Metal music. Specifically, post-metal music. The latest Neurosis album made me (re?)discover a playlist that contains some gems. I hardly appreciate some of them, but definitely have others on loop. Jesu is one of my favorite discoveries, and Boris were quite a surprise too! It’s particularly juxtaposing to listen to this…
Quick thoughts on Faunts' so-far final EP
A long long time ago, in a country far far away, I went to a Steely Dan concert. It was a gift (bought voluntarily, and out of the blue) from my then-boyfriend, during a visit to his family home in … Continue reading →
A journalist and author who documented, and took active part in, the late `70s cross over of reggae and punk, Vivien Goldman wrote for most of the UK’s music press, and worked for Island Records doing Bob Marley’s PR. Punk / post-punk royalty, and now a professor at NYU and Rutgers, as a vocalist Goldman […]
I discovered Polish folk music on YouTube that I genuinely enjoyed. Then I found out it was AI-generated, and I stopped listening. I'm still not sure why.
BoC might be teasing new music, according to the internets; apparently a bunch of mysterious VHS tapes have been released from Warp Records, their label, featuring audio samples that sound vaguely Boards-adjacent. It has been over a decade since they released Tomorrow’s Harvest, which is way too damn long. (previously)
I was listening to all of Barbara Morgenstern’s albums chronologically today (she’s fantastic), and as usual when Night-Time Falls started, I paid extra attention, because I just can’t believe those lyrics. I mean, Morgenstern usually does a mix of earnestness and bizarre, almost psychedelic dead-pan humour in her lyrics — constant shifts between reality and … Continue reading Somebody on the Internet is wrong
The Clean - Lincoln Hall, Chicago, Illinois, August 18, 2014I pretty much devoured In the Dreamlife You Need a Rubber Soul, Richard Langston’s new biography/oral history of The Clean. Everything a fan could want — and more! Of course, it’s sent me on a Clean listening bender, digging back into the early classics and the late-period masterworks. And live stuff, too, including a fantastic Aadam Jacobs tape at Lincoln Hall in Chicago from what I believe was the band’s last US tour in 2014. “By 2...

"She Thinks I Still Care" by George Jones Listen on Apple Music Your browser does not support the audio element. Post one of your favorite sad songs. - She Thinks I Still Care I first heard this song on James Taylor's live album from the mid-90s. JT's version is great (of course) but George Jones' original is the real tear jerker. This is one of the few tunes I'm able to harmonize, so it's a sing out loud favorite of mine.

Membership in the Junto is open: just join and participate. (A SoundCloud account is helpful but not required.) There’s no […]
"Stop Falling" by P!nk Listen on Apple Music Your browser does not support the audio element. Which lyric always gives you goosebumps? This song used to get me every time. It's because at the time that the song came out, I would confuse friendliness for romantic feelings. I just got bad advice. View Mandaris's Crucial Tracks profile Listen to my Apple Music playlist
Sweaty crowds in sticky shirts scream and scramble for better views between songs. Drums kick boom and guitars get tuned just before the bright lights flip up and flick on. Everyone slides forward on the beer-slicked floor and as the first notes kick in we all catch our breath. AWESOME! Even more awesome: Photo from: […] The post #706 The moment at a concert when the crowd figures out what song they’re playing appeared first on 1000 Awesome Things.
Lyria (Gemini’s new “Create Song” feature) is helping me in new ways. Earlier this week, it created a jingle for my talk. Yesterday I ran an AI Workshop for IAS officers. As part of that, I asked Gemini: Create a soulful vote of thanks (with patriotic Indian music playing in the background) naming each of these people. … and listed each person in the workshop. The song began… (Listen to the song) … with these lyrics: The morning sun rises over the secretariat corridors, illumining the ...
Orcutt Shelley Miller and Jesus Lizard’s David Yow get together and do a Captain Beefheart cover reads like the setup to an incredibly niche indie rock joke. I assure you it’s not. And it’s not a joke either. They’ve just dropped a rendition of Captain Beefheart’s “Hot Head.” Physical copies drop next month, but you […]
