Song of the day – 528: Talk Normal

It’s basically just some words that go before the embed. #musicjournalism

Holly Herndon – Movement (RVNG Intl.)

Movement is an auditory feast. It’s no Bob Dylan but then John Lennon was no Kraftwerk, you know what I mean?

Song of the day – 523: Sleigh Bells

I like this 21st Century groove, the cut-off jeans, the shadow boxing, the way everything is distorted and MEGA and seizure-inducing. the shallowness of the concept and the embracing of the NOW.

Clinic – Free Reign (Domino)

Like The Fall, Clinic is always different/always the same. You know what you’re going to get but you don’t know how you’re going to get it.

The Audacity of Barry Manilow

The first line alone contains two historically volcanic eruptions of bragging. Not even Kanye has the ego to say he’s been alive forever, let alone that he wrote the very first goddamn song

Talk Normal – Sunshine (Joyful Noise)

Five hundred years ago Talk Normal would have been burned as witches for this act of prophecy.

Rusted Root – The Movement (Shanachie)

Consider the evidence. The sound of college radio is Rusted Root.

A.R. Kane – The Complete Singles Collection (One Little Indian)

The missing link between Robert Wyatt and Disco Inferno, A. R. Kane sounded equally at home in the club as in the bedroom, under the stars and in the studio.

U.S. Girls – Gem (FatCat)

Is it Gem’s frozen nature that makes me feel encased in glass? Or is it my own detachment that keeps me from finding a way in?

Titus Andronicus – Local Business (XL)

If anyone in The Hold Steady was less than 45 years old, they might sound like this.
