Every day this Pride 2026, Marshal Knight is selecting a song for your queer repertoire plus an organization helping to combat hatred and foster love within the queer community.

Their most recent album is really good, I've been listening to it a bunch. I also haven't mentioned how much I've been listening to MJ Lenderman, who's got a similar sound and has played with Ratboys I think? "Wristwatch" is the standout from his "Manning Fireworks", but I love a bunch of the songs

“the things I detest, for instance: italicized passages in a novel which are meant to represent the protagonist’s cloudbursts of thought. Then background music, canned music, piped-in music, portable music, minstrel music, inflicted music. Concise dictionaries. Abridged manuals. Journalistic clichés: ‘the moment of truth, the moment of truth!’ Humility.”- Nabokov

Review by Sandre the Giant Released: 27th March 2026 British death metallers Cryptworm have carved a rather bloody little place for themselves in the glut of this modern UK death metal explosion, and their 2023 full length ‘Oozing Radioactive Vomition’ was incredibly well received. I came to that one a little late, but I can attest to its rabid charm. Well, the trio are back with ‘Infectious Pathological Waste’, the follow up out through a collaborative effort from Me Saco Un Ojo and Extremely…

Craig Bratley’s sophomore album has been a little while coming. Titled “Return To Bass”, sonically it, largely, takes his lead from the 2021 single “No In Between”. A magnetic marriage of digi-dub and bluesy sleaze produced in collaboration with with NYC diva Amy Douglas that quickly went on to become a sought after classic. The title track, for example, bumps and grinds to a post-Soul II Soul break. A blend of 90s ethereal pop and digital dons Steely & Clevie, wth an E-ed up aesthetic, but its…

The first time I heard of or saw Olivia Dean was on, "Saturday Night Live." Her song, "Man I Need," sounded like something straight out of the 1970's but weirdly soulless. It evoked the past while failing to give us anything particularly new. Her voice was good, but she sounded like a mediocre impression of music from the past without any unique spin. I figured I should give her a chance, but her other big hit, "So Easy," makes me think of Minnie Riperton without the vocal range or lyrical…

It was 100 years ago on this date that Andy Griffith was born in Mount Airy, North Carolina. The Andy Griffith Show is one of the first shows I can ever remember watching as a child, and it has remained one of my favourite shows ever since. As a kid, I can remember hearing Andy Griffith's monologue "What It Was, Was Football" on oldies radio stations. As I grew a little older I saw his movies, including Angel in My Pocket (1969), Onionhead (1958), No Time for Sergeants (1958), and A Face in the…

Inferno was released on Friday, and I really like it. It’s definitely an evolution of the BoC sound, but still works within the soundscape they pioneered 2+ decades ago. This album features drums on select tracks in a way their previous albums didn’t—tracks like Blood in the Labyrinth, All Reason Departs, and Arena Americanada put them much further forward than I remember. The sound of this album is much more….upbeat? than Tomorrow’s Harvest, their last album. I’ve currently been streaming it,…

EDIT: What if... mbrserver.com I am no audio enthusiast. I love listening to music, I have around 2.7K songs in my Navidrome library (out of Spotify, yay!), and just recently I started getting part of it from Bandcamp. I bought every album containing at least one song already in my library, given that the album costed $5 max. I spent around $120. Concerts are nice. I haven't been in a lot, maybe 5, but never concerts that I needed to travel, spend a night out, or costed me more than $30. In…

Today, as a supplement to my work, a new tradition has begun between my friend, K, and I. It started the other night, in that sweet spot between dinner and a movie. She and I were sat in the skate park, I wearing sunglasses away from the sun to block the tornado of dust from my eyes, she facing me with her hair blowing in her face. Skaters rolled by behind our picnic bench island, the evening crowd lounged on blankets on the hill in front of us. The bench had bright white carvings peeking out…

Ira Sandler, owner of 1015 Folsom for 40 years, has passed away. 48 Hills and DJ Dials have some nice words. RIP to one of the absolute legends of nightlife. He was a huge inspiration to so many.

You would think Skyless is a pretty distinctive name and also rather on the nose for a band with shoegazey/dreampoppy inclination but in fact there exist artists with that same name in both dance and hard rock genres and of course streaming services don’t disambiguate them so if you go looking, you’ll find some confusingly […] The post Skyless – “About You” appeared first on Space Echo.

There are zero (0) bad tracks on Motor Songs, Bulgarian Cartrader’s genre-hopping album I purchased after just one listen, which boasts multiple contenders for Song of the Summer 2026 despite being released in 2022. Motor Songs Bulgarian Cartrader An amazing thing about Motor Songs is that, other than being killer bops, the songs have virtually nothing in common stylistically: we move from hints of early Animal Collective to echoes of TURNSTILE, take a detour past Flight of the Conchords, then…

Four years ago Michael Oakley, a certified titan of synthwave, wrote in these very pages about the scourge of “copywave,” a somewhat self-explanatory term used to describe knockoff artists mimicking the sound and even visual aesthetic of more popular musicians in the genre’s scene. Hop in the DeLorean and travel to today: Oakley’s just released the 10-track powerhouse LP Prologue, a display of craftsmanship and artistic adventurism that will surely yield its own imitators in the years ahead.…

Jack Spence - Bamboo SunAnother weird/utterly wonderful entry in the Freedom to Spend label’s uncommon¢ series, which has unearthed such unreal gems as Danielle Boutet’s Piéces and Universal Liberation Orchestra’s Communion. Bamboo Sun continues the winning streak, gathering together the bewitching Fourth World landscapes of the impossibly obscure Jack Spence, recorded in the mid-80s before the Santa Cruz, CA-based composer’s untimely death. This is gorgeous and strange stuff, a dream you never…

This is the most prominent song that comes to mind. A lot of rap songs mention other rappers but it's been a while since I've seen one blow up like this. They sung it at the Super Bowl!

Paul McCartney is everywhere, it seems. He played 2 big shows in LA in March. He was at the recent closing of The Late Show with Steven Colbert. Not only was he a big part of the 50th anniversary celebration of SNL, but he closed out the 51st season. Now he has a new album … Continue reading On the ubiquity of Paul McCartney

The longest-running parlor game for music fans might be arguing about which era of Van Halen is the best. A close second: what song defines your generation? The answers are almost always a tell: Boomers might point to The Beatles, The Stones, or Dylan. Gen X often lands on something like “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” Millennials, Gen Z, and Gen Alpha…well, the answer gets fuzzier. That’s probably also a tell. (Spoiler: I’m old.) Writing for NPR recently, Hazel Cills flipped the question a little,…

There is one song on my Last.fm list that I could never find on Apple Music or Spotify. Heck, I even had to “scrape” it from Youtube to make it into MP3 version so I can listen to it on my MP3 player. It’s “BKAB” by Ethan Stoller, and the song can only be found on the end credits of the film “V for Vendetta” (2005) In 2006, he produced the track “BKAB” which appeared in the film V for Vendetta. The track featured the unusual mix of Indian beats and Hindi vocals (sampled from the Bollywood films…

The blues is back baby. Or is it the blues are back? Whichever it is, it's back. This just released 2026 debut record comes to us from Ethiopian-born, Connecticut-raised Amani Burnham. Once you listen to this album you'll find it hard to believe that he's only 21 years old. It feels like he's had the blues flowing through his veins for a lifetime. You'll hear Jimi, you'll hear Stevie Ray, you'll hear Muddy - you'll hear all the blues greats being channeled through Burnham's fingers (and thumb -…

"Georgia on My Mind (Original Master Recording)" by Ray Charles Listen on Apple Music Your browser does not support the audio element. A song that reminds you of somewhere you lived. - Georgia on my Mind by Ray Charles It was four degrees above zero the night I started my infantry training at Ft. Benning, GA, a fact I remember because I was assigned to stand outside by a gate, to "guard" it, for two hours on the typical kind of bullshit duty that makes the Army what it is.

Best Record of 2001: Day 50 Good morning! Today we’re taking a quick look at Yeah Yeah Yeahs self-titled EP. Yeah Yeah Yeah’s self-titled, 5-song EP was self-released on their own Shifty label in 2001. Their decidedly garage-punk sound featured guitarist Nick Zinner, drummer Brian Chase, and no bassist. No matter; even in these early days, everything orbits around frontwoman Karen O. Her vocals are hard to pin down– she coos one minute, screams the next (see also: the entire chorus of “Art…

It goes without saying that I’m listening to Sonny Rollins and Miles Davis this week. The passing of Sonny Rollins led me to listen to his great album Saxophone Colossus (1957). It’s may well be the greatest hard bop album ever recorded. Everyone knows it, but it’s always worth hearing again: As readers of this blog know, I love The Bridge (1962) and have posted about it multiple times. I’ve enjoyed Sonny Rollins’s work with Miles Davis in the mid-1950s (including The New Sounds). I marveled…
