This Is Lorelei - Box For Buddy, Box For Star

I couldn’t put my finger on why I liked this so much and then just gave into it.

“I don't mind the present and I like the past. I think that the future's worth it”

Good Morning-The Accident

(Good Aussies)

Hard Quartet

If you likes Pavement, Stephen Malkmus, Chavez, Emmett Kelly, Matt Sweeney, The Jicks, and Jim White then you might like this super group. If you don’t you won’t.

hip hop
I listen (mostly when editing pics) but never an expert

ScHoolboy Q-Blue Lips
Cavalier-CINE+Different Type Time
Shabazz Palaces-exotic birds of prey
DJ Muggs-The Eternal Now

Kim Gordon-The Collective

It’s- follow her into her sonic universe or get the fuck out of her way- record of the year. + She’s 71

I recalled her famous quote: “People pay to see other people believe in themselves” when reading Thurston Moore’s Sonic Youth days memoir this year.

Mt. Erie- Night Palace

More raw truthful Phil Elverum sound

The Felice Brothers - Valley of Abandoned Songs

Thank you CJ Chivers for this music recommendation and for the great times we spent traveling/working/listening together

Friko- Where We’ve Been, Where We Go From Here

Please pass the indie rock torch to these Chicago area kids who started the band Friko in highschool only 5 years ago.

Helado Negro

I heard in an interview with Lange on why he named his new record PHASOR. I’m dumb and math, physics, vectors are over my head. But I could understand how it related to creativity for him and then for me. Check it out. NPR maybe.

I saw Helado Negro play at The Turf Club. The crowd was grinning & singing every English or Spanish word. Sometimes at concerts we get defensive in crowded shared spaces making it hard to unlock & get lost in the music. But his show was such a chill lovefest. Maybe my happiest couple of hours of ‘24

Helado Negro- PHASOR

I listened to this record while rushing through a busy, massive modern airport & felt like I was inside the architecture of the electronic music or a cascading number in a complex math problem.

Idles- TANGK

Tough but tender, unapologeticly masculine, big positive bold fun for all. See them live to experience it.

Advance Bass

Owen Ashworth starts one of the saddest and prettiest songs, called Tooth Fairy, like this:

Melody lost a tooth the other night
I only had a twenty on me

Advance Base- Horrible Occurrences

Backed by melancholic Casiotone, his painful, plainly spoken/sung scenes are more like Raymond Carver or Denis Johnson short stories than typical songwriting.

The complete record was released today 12/6

The Cure- Songs of a Lost World

16-yr-old me would also approve of this great as ever goth record
