Day 4: 💰

Cheeseburger - "Money For The Heart"

This is such a rollicking good garage rock song!

Became aware of these folks as they did the intro song for psychedelic cartoon series "SUPERJAIL!"...

"Detroit 187" - Danny Brown

Genre: Hardcore Hip-Hop

Obviously this number gets a murder reference. 🔫

Lastfm reckons Danny Brown is specifically "hardcore" hip-hop. 🤷

Day 3: 🫂

Big Black Delta - "Huggin' & Kissin'"

This is a banger of a tune in its own right.

It's also used to phenomenal effect as a plot point in season 1 of Bill Pullman detective show "The Sinner"... 🕵️‍♀️

Terry Lynn - "Kingstonlogic 2.0"

This emoji is crying out for some reggae, obviously, but I am a contrary sort...

...so how about some filthy electro dancehall instead? 😈

Day 1: ⚖️

Té - "Moderation and justice are merely 'nominal' terms that only the superior can freely use."

Some cracking math/post-rock from Japanese band Té (often written Te').

Instrumental music with preposterously verbose song titles is my jam. 😎

Thinking of setting yourself up as a Thulsa Doom-style warlord?

This track will work very well for your throne room, whether you decide to turn into a giant snake or not. 🤘

Day 21: Vince Clarke - "White Rabbit"

Vince Clarke's work with Erasure is hugely well known, of course, but did you know he put out a moody AF drone album a couple of years ago?

This track's one of my faves - that's some good bleep bloops!

Share a 90’s movie you think deserves more love

(Y'know, the first thing I thought of was "Dream with the Fishes" which I haven't rewatched since the 90s because I've never found a watchable copy again, and whaddya know, there's a watchable copy on youtube now!)

This week's albums!

The new Hilary Woods is super dreamy 😻

Getting my avant-garde on with Kayo Dot and Current 93.

BABYMETAL is too much kawaii for my taste. I lived in Japan, I've had my fill of kawaii!

Sprints do some _excellent_ post-punk!

That Pye Corner Audio is more banging than usual...

I have something for 181! These folks are normally heavier post-metal type stuff, but this is the album outro - bit of a cool down....

Day 19: Ass - "It Only Takes Minutes"

Lovely folktronica from this unfortunately-named one man band. (I think it's his initials?)

This is my fave track from his exceptionally-named album "My get up and go just got up and went"

Poland apparently has a huge reggae scene - who knew!?

This particular track is more like very dubby drum & bass - not sure how representative it is. Fun track, though!
