  3. Altissimo (The Cry): Preview (streams of expression)

    Sonny Rollins on the Williamsburg Bridge, October 7, 1961 © Atsuhiko Kawabata (photographer) /Hanako Kawabata. First published in Jazz Times. A subscriber post on Substack, on the late Sonny Rollins.There’s a radio recording from the Half Note in 1966 (or perhaps 1963, depending which discography you use): Rollins with McCoy Tyner, Walter Booker, and Mickey Roker, moving in and out of tunes at will; melody stacked free associatively on melody—rhapsody, in the sense of rhapsōidos, “stitcher of…

  6. Jejune / Wait A Lifetime / Numero Group (Ban Ban Ton Ton)

    Jejune were Chris Mendez Vanacore, Joe Guevera and Araby Harrison. A trio formed at Berklee, in Boston, and subsequently tied to San Diego’s post-hardcore scene. Active between 1995 and 1999, they recorded two albums, and at the time of their spilt had started a third. Numero Group’s retrospective, “Wait A Lifetime”, collects everything from all of these sessions. There are a total of 37 tracks, including alternate takes, a couple of remixes*, plus a bonus 7” containing a respectful, faithful…

  11. Listen: Bruising by Lila Holler (BlackPlastic.co.uk / alternative music b…)

    Lila Holler Braising The latest single from Liverpool, UK/Seattle, WA artist Lila Holler, Bruising builds slowly. Glassy vocals and muted guitars create a 90s-esque folk-pop sound as Holler rapidly weaves together a series of intimate lyrical couplets. Bruising hits its stride in its chorus, a minute in, fuzzy bass guitar establishing a hooky bed for Holler’s vocals. Increasingly frustrated, she asserts that, ‘you love me like propane, it’s just what kept you going… oh it’s useless, and I can…

  12. Thelonious Monkees - Stray Children - Music from the Soundtrack (Morning Music)

    In a just world, I think Stray Children would go down as one of the great RPGs, and its soundtrack would be remembered as one of the all-time great RPG soundtracks. Thelonious Monkees (perfect name!) have such range in both style and instrumentation, and such a great sense for silliness too. (I love how the forest theme has a singer quietly singing the Japanese word for "forest" in the background the whole way through.) I especially love the boss themes, which are great right from the very…

  13. Ladytron’s ‘604’ vs. My Morning Jacket’s ‘At Dawn’ (Kevin Sent)

    Best Record of 2001: Day 48 Good morning! Today we’re taking a quick look at Ladytron’s 604 as it faces off against At Dawn by My Morning Jacket. There was a time when I would buy records based solely on the label. Dischord never missed. 4AD? Odds were high you’d love what they were issuing. K Records? Whether or not it matched my tastes was up for grabs, but you could bank on it being something quirky, and that screamed “Olympia.” Wax Trax! was the gift that kept on giving for a kid who was…

  18. Beats and yelling shorts, 27th May 26 (Hate Meditations)

    Möhrkvlth: Gwenojennoù An Ankounac’hOut 5th May on Antiq Sickly sweet post hardcore rendered in black metal form. Every riff geared toward emotional catharsis, achieving nothing as a result given the fact that no room is left for conflict, tension, strife, contrast. The total lack of patience demonstrable in the melodic signature of modern black metal is perhaps indicative of a general lapse in attention spans across metal’s listener – and by extension creative – base. An ethos unwilling to…

  19. Bibiel Hears Things: MiaMee – “Some Other Me” (My Inner Mishmash)

    Hey people! Today, I thought I’d share with you something Estonian. I’ve only come across MiaMee very recently but I was quickly able to conclude that I like their music. And I feel like Estonian music is quite underrated – including by me as I know very little of it – so I thought it would be nice to feature them. MiaMee are an Estonian ensemble whose music is a sort of mix of jazz and alt/indie pop, quite folky as well. The founder and singer of the band is Liina Saar, who also plays the…

  21. Rickie Lee Jones at the Barbican (thebluemoment.com)

    Like Bob Dylan, Rickie Lee Jones gives a great deal of ongoing thought to how she presents her songs in terms of musical arrangement. Such care is never allowed to outweigh the feeling of freshness and spontaneity, even when the material concerned is getting on for half a century old, as were the five songs from her debut album, written when she was barely into her twenties, included in last night’s 90-minute set. Her current touring band includes the brilliant Ben Rosenblum on accordion, piano…

  24. From the Mailbox 64 (Palms Out Sounds)

    asteraceae – apparitions Tonight’s mailbox roundup is focused entirely on succinct cuts of online jungle–the type of thing I keep finding my way back to, most of which is less homage to the East London forebears than it is an embodiment of internetcore and perpetual ode to WipEout 2097. First up is two minutes of celestial pads and breakbeats that are as much phaser as they are drum. This is honestly a bit more refined than most of the neo-jungle/neo-breakcore I encounter, and genuinely…

  26. Making Music (puppy network :3)

    I've always wanted to make music. I belive I'm a very creative person dog, and I just generally love making things. It's part of why I enjoy computer science so much, because it gives me the skills to create projects and be creative with computers in a way many people can't. Recently I totally legally aquired a copy of Ableton Live 12 Suite, and spent the majority of my day messing around with what I could do with it. I was in a discord call with my friend, and they spent quite a bit of time…

  27. RIP Sonny Rollins (Matt Mullenweg)

    Sonny Rollins, the Saxophone Colossus, has passed. He is probably my favorite saxophonist, and while the aforementioned album is one of the five I would take to a deserted island, he has so many other good ones like The Cutting Edge which also has bagpipes, or Sonny Side Up with Sonny Stitt and Dizzy Gillespie. WordPress 6.7 in November 2024 was named in honor of Rollins. We rarely choose a living musician for a release so the team actually prepared a gift we sent to him with the names of all…

  28. Review: Vanishing Grasp – Pang of Phantom Self (The Killchain)

    Review by Sandre the Giant Released: 8th May 2026 The debut release from one man Minnesotan death metal project Vanishing Grasp, ‘Pang of Phantom Self’ is being released through Rotted Life Records, and is the brainchild of Andy Schoengrund who has done work in loads of underground bands such as Unsouling, Feral Light and Wolvhammer in his time. That gives me a lot of hope for what I’m likely to find in this record, as those are some bands I can definitely recommend checking out. ‘Pang of…

  29. 2026 Anniversary Series 053: Aerosmith – Rocks (The Killchain)

    Scribed by Sandre the Giant Released: 3rd May 1976 Hard rock icons Aerosmith are one of music’s biggest bands, with a back catalogue of massive hits, hard rock classics and cross over mega anthems in their 50 year plus career but I think you would struggle to tie their sound into the history of heavy metal on first glance. They don’t have quite as obvious a link as the likes of Led Zeppelin or Kiss, but I think ignoring the formative groovy blues of their early records on what classic heavy…

  30. Visible Cloaks / Paradessence / RVNG INTL (Ban Ban Ton Ton)

    Formed in 2014, Visible Cloaks have helped to highlight the work of the ambient avant garde. Through their own music, mixes and curation they have brought wider attention to musicians such as Nuno Canavarro, Lino Capra Vaccina, Iury Lech, Pep Llopis, Lena Platonos, and especially that of Hiroshi Yoshimura and Inoyama Land. It’s the latter Japanese artists that, to my ears, have the greatest influence over Visible Cloaks’ new long-player, “Paradessence”. One half of the Cloaks, Spencer Doran has…
