I write about music. Covering sonic treats since 2004. Excellent taste. O, and I run a rather good website about John Cale.

Some distortion and feedback is totally fine, but they never let it get in the way of the main melody. The band operates in a self-contained, almost childlike universe, wherein the normal rules of physics don't apply.

The new ISLE single Jaded is a dark tale about one person's depression taking over all that was good in a relationship, heading straight for the inevitable bad ending. The contrast between the soft music and harsh lyrics gets stronger after each listen.

On this day in 1981, #SoftCell released their debut studio album, "Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret".

The album's success was bolstered by the popularity of the cover version of #GloriaJones song "Tainted Love", which topped the charts worldwide and became the second best-selling British single of 1981.

Reflecting again on how John Cale’s piano playing on Nick Drake’s “Northern Sky” is one of the single most moving things I’ve ever heard, and also how it's like the thirtieth most historical thing to occur over the course of his career in music. A remarkably passionate oracle. Truly no one like him.

Dutch rock quartet Video Store Eline made a video for Eline, a track from their Everything looks better at night EP: "It is raw, emotional and in-your-face, firmly rooted in the late Nineties guitar bands boom".

Live from Wembley 1995 features a part of a Van Halen show in London on June 24, 1995. Taken from radio broadcast it was widely bootlegged, before it got an official release earlier this year as part of the expanded reissue of their Balance album.

Portraits At The Penthouse: Live in Seattle captures previously unreleased live recordings of jazz pianist Bill Evans with bassist Eddie Gomez and drummer Joe Hunt. Caveat: overlong running time for both sides, which will surely affect the sound quality.

By using tried-and-true chord changes with her 5-piece band she won't pick up any awards for musical innovation, but that is not her point: it is about anger, empowerment and maybe even closure.

Lamonica looks to the future (One Way Ticket) and the past (Hot August Night) in his lyrics. He is an optimist despite the current Stateside mess. The songs on Pony Tales come out swinging, not to throw a punch, but as an invitation to dance the night away.

Some knowledge of the work of Zappa and the avant-garde in general will be helpful in attempting to get a grip on this album. If that is not the case, just sit back and enjoy the expansion of one's usual musical preferences.

A 101 for creating an earworm that won't drive the listener mad after being exposed to a it for a couple of times in a row. There is a conga in the breakdown, which was unexpected, but turned to be a very welcome addition.

Navigating between folk, blues, jazz and a bit of country, Saxton has the knack to make it seem that he is singing only for you. Intimacy is key, with his rough-around-the-edges vocals smack in the middle of the mix.

Steven Wilson has given the thumbs up for a stage adaptation of his Hand. Cannot. Erase album.

It is still a work-in-progress, but Jess Cope's animations, used by Wilson during his live shows, will be part of the show for sure.

The song deals with the Japanese word for the ritualistic suicide, in this case of a Japanese princess. A towering classic rock song, with a whispering coda to announce the silence that comes after the deed has been done.
