Dream pop kind of thing from my hometown. Reminds me of some mix of Mazzy Star and Slowdive… Or of my teens in the 90s anyway. :wink: Those 20-year retro cycles…

I can’t embed a Bandcamp player if there’s two hyphens in the URL

…started listening last night, on repeat. It’s well-dynamic, and ‘new’ to my ears, so there’s a lot to be revealed. Finding it more engaging / listenable than Continuum Unbound, so far

Rome is to much cold today, it’s time to wear, and hear, an Eskimo by the Residents :grinning:

just saw Palehound and Cherry Glazerr last night - I’ve been listening to both for awhile but seeing them live was super fun! hadn’t been in a pit in awhile, but both bands fucking shred live. Palehound in particular was more intense live than I expected, which I was totally down with, and some of Cherry Glazerr’s breakdowns felt like I was at a stoner rock show. also noteworthy that Cherry Glazerr is headed by a 22 year old woman, v inspiring.

highly recommend, especially if you’re into 3 piece rock bands but also have emotions:

I haven’t heard much of Daphne Oram’s work before. Beautiful, beguiling music concrete…

enjoying murlo’s new album, want to check out the accompanying graphic novel.

Revisiting Microstoria’s last album (members of Oval and Mouse on Mars). I used to find this very, very far out there in 2001. It’s still not packed with pop hits, but…

still one of my favorite things. Microstoria was one of the first musics I “discovered” using Napster while at work–as a night audit for a small hotel in / around 2000. I was trying to recall everything I’d read about in WIRE, and Init Ding sounded beautiful during the early morning hours. Our computer privileges were taken away shortly afterwards, because one of us changed the wallpaper. But there was a grand piano in the lobby, and it’s a quiet / small hotel - perfect for plucking on the strings, attempting at quasi- “prepared” piano percussion / tape recordings. I still listen to my copy of Model 3, Step 2 every once in a while. It’s beautiful stuff.

A few years ago a performance of Feminine by Julius Eastman was released on CD. Since I don’t have a cd player, I waited for a digital version to come out, but one never did.

Just found that NTS radio played the whole, 79-minute version, and it’s streaming online (with some radio chatter before it). It’s incredible.
