last night in my dream you kissed my foot the oddest occurrence yet in that moment the shockwave it sent would make any other act pale in comparison and even awake now my cheeks are flushed heartbeat elevated
This ↑ is what happens when Joe Dart breaks the sound barrier playing “Dean Town”. (And not when i drop my phone on a 2,000-year-old theatre’s stone steps trying to put it in my pocket — my back pocket.) Vulfpeck’s concert at the Jazz à Vienne festival was the best non-jazz concert i’ve ever been to, but also one of the loudest. Which is to say: it was the perfect venue to test out new earplugs. Believe it or not, foam plugs like the good old 3M E-A-R Classics are the gold standard, as they can…
Calm waters on Lake Superior. I've been collecting a lot of images of water lately. This is the outgrowth of a post I made on Ennui Vagaries about repurposing weather camera photos. There are a lot of weather cameras that are on the shores of lakes, rivers, or at the docks and launches. Collecting these photos has been made exceptionally easy by the Fediverse having many feeds of these images. While collecting a bunch of the sunset images tonight, I thought of the song Downstream by Supertramp.…

Day One in Nagoya. The Sumo Association is riding high after its big Paris tour. One visible indicator, aside from the sold-out arena, is the massive growth in kensho banners. This tournament breaks the record for kensho banners at a regional honbasho (Osaka/Nagoya/Fukuoka) with 3504. The previous Regional Tournament record was set this spring in … Continue reading Nagoya 2026: Day One
Not a lot of movement from last week for the majority of my latest chart, although there are five new entries. “Homewrecker” by sombr remains at #1 for a second week, while Dexter and The Moonrocks‘ “Freakin’ Out” inches up a spot to #2. “Repeat Offender” by Scottish band Gloom Is Okay enters the top 10 at #9. There were at least eight songs I wanted to add to this week’s chart, but I had to cull my list down to only five as there were no other songs I was ready to drop. The first new entry is…
Listening to Aurora en Pekin by Marc Ribot & Marc Ribot y Los Cubanos from Y los Cubanos Postizos. Really lovely album from 1998 🎵
— On repeated play this week, Lana Del Rey’s version of Don’t Let me Be Misunderstood. (Compare to Nina Simone, 1964). Not sure why this song is hitting me so hard, but I'm a LDR fan so maybe that’s enough of a reason. We’re all just souls whose intentions are good. We’re trying our best at a weird and difficult time. — We watched Peter Hujar’s Day last night. I loved the bloody whole slow thing of it. The life of the artist, the day in the life, the project behind it that never really took…
Rachel is playing in an old time music jam in Paoli tonight. Having no musical talent, I’m one of four or five spectators. Two upright basses, two mandolins, a banjo, a fiddle, a dulcimer, several guitars, and fifteen voices. If you aren’t jealous, you should be.
Today at Crucial Tracks: Across the Wire, by Calexico Share a song that sounds like your favorite weather. What a provocative prompt. I think one of my favorite weathers is a clear sky in pre-dawn light, a cool morning before a warming day.
I heard someone talking—or maybe I read it—about how, if you’re writing books and stuff like that, the older you are, the more respected you are. But if you’re writing contemporary music, you’ve got to be young. I didn’t write much when I was young, and what I did write was horrible. And when I’m in a writing groove now, I know it’s better. My demo performances are off sometimes. I’m cleaning out SoundCloud right now, and listening back to all these old recordings is, of course, horrifying. But…

I discovered Sallow Moth through last year's Mossbane Lantern, a truly captivating exercise in tech and prog death metal whose complex songwriting set it apart from the genre's overcrowded landscape. It also somehow marked a rebirth for the project, which had limited its activity between 2022 and 2024, but since then Garry Brents has been quite active. Hydrophilous Brood arrives less than a year after its predecessor, a short turnaround considering the ambition of both records. Sallow Moth…
Johnny Bond : Put Me To Bed Cyrus Whitfield "Johnny" Bond (1915-1978) was active in the music industry from 1940 until the late 1970s.Bond was born in Enville, Oklahoma, and grew up on several small farms in Oklahoma. As a youngster, he was influenced musically by records that his parents played. He learned basics of music as a member of his high school's brass band. While in high school he bought a ukulele, but soon he switched to playing the guitar.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Bond
Album of the Week, July 11, 2026 Laurie Anderson might have started the 1980s as the definitive performance artist who also happened to sing, but her last album of the decade posited her as a singer who also happened to be a performance artist. Like Kate Bush’s The Sensual World, released just a week before Strange Angels, the album centered Laurie the person in an emotional space that she had never really occupied, showing her with fewer electronic tricks and more heartfelt songwriting in an…
2026-07-11Hello!I resisted music streaming for a long while. The appeal of listening to music in the background never sat right with me. But it has its uses.When I signed up for a Spotify account, I configured my algorithm and listened to several jazz tracks. Some classy track came up, and it gave me the tasty colors, but I was doing my homework at the time; I didn't bother to check the name of it.The next day, I replayed that same playlist. It seemed to work out okay, and I didn't bother…
Over the past two years, I've published interactive tours for five Go releases, from 1.22 to 1.26. I know some of you have read them, and I've received a lot of kind words from you (even some core Go team members reached out) — thank you so much for that! Tour history: Go 1.22 • 1.23 • 1.24 • 1.25 • 1.26 + Go features by version Unfortunately, at some point, writing these tours stopped being fun and started to feel like a part-time job. I'm not really excited about that, so I've decided to…
I loved CHiPs when I was little, even had CHiPs pyjamas. This theme is much more way out than I remember. Crime-funk going wildly cosmic. Check it out.
Review by Sandre the Giant Released: 19th June 2026 This is the second record from Iceland’s Vafurlogi, and ‘Gneisti af eldi Guðs’ had a different gestation from their 2024 debut ‘Í vökulli áþján’. That came from a short but intense period of creativity, whereas ‘Gneisti af eldi Guðs’ was built on material that had been in the works for many years, left to grow and evolve in the deep. ‘Gneisti af eldi Guðs‘ is out now through Norma Evangelium Diaboli. Grandiose Icelandic black metal is always…
These days, Sam Bisbee is an Emmy-winning, Oscar-nominated producer of film and television, but at the turn of the century, he was trying his hand at being a musician, releasing a few alt-rock albums that I thought were pretty good, even if rock and roll stardom eventually eluded him. One of my favorite songs of his from that era is “Miracle Car,” which was a catchy, poppy song with ambiguous lyrics. It feels like a love song, but I don’t think it actually is; you don’t ask your eternal love to…
Words: Chris ArnsbyBruno Brookes: “Good evening. Welcome to another sizzling Top of the Pops. All hot stuff on the show tonight. Later on we’ve got Bryan Adams for you. INXS, Billy Bragg, and Bros to name a few. First of all at number twenty eight is D.J.H. featuring Stefy. You need it. And you love it!” [28] D.J.H. featuring STEFY: I LIKE IT. The shape of the new-look Top of the Pops is being assembled in the background. We’ve had Michael Hurll’s changes to the way the charts are presented.…

Atmos Bloom It’s Enough Opening with low slung bass and bright guitars, the latest song from duo Atmos Bloom sits somewhere between post punk and shoegaze. Atmos Bloom is the product of Tilda Gratton and Curtis Paterson. The pair met when Gratton auditioned to play bass in Paterson’s band at university in Manchester. What started as a musical journey, channeling the likes of Sonic Youth and Pavement, evolved into something bigger. The pair are now life partners, based in London. It’s Enough…
Hailing from Los Angeles, US soul vocal group comprised Jimmy Johnson (lead); Carl Fisher (lead and tenor); Dave Govan (lead and baritone); Ricky Owens (lead and tenor); and Don Bradley (bass). In spring 1966 promoter Roy Tempest brought them over to Britain for the first of two nationwide tours that year. Often Tempest deployed one group that was signed to his agency as the main backing band but, if they were supporting another soul artist that he had brought over on a particular night, he…
Goodbye Bonnie Tyler – and thank you for all your wonderful, gutsy over the top performances. You will most certainly be missed – although we still have your music. Without wanting to sound maudlin, when you reach a certain age and pop and rock icons shrug off their mortal coils, it does lead to a little reflection – and I have very fond memories of Bonnie Tyler. Like a lot of people, I first came across her music with Lost in France – while not her first single, it did see her first entry into…
I previewed sundayclub’s new dreamy janglepop gem of a record via its first two singles in May, and with their self-titled debut out today I’d be remiss if I didn’t also share the third part in their trilogy of videos, released a couple weeks ago as the final preview of the record, or the fourth […] The post sundayclub – “Sad Summer”/”Croydon Ave (To Meet You)” appeared first on Space Echo.
