SOTD #747 – CaStLeS

There seems to be this revival of the 90’s right now, and the new single “Amcanu” by Castles (which is actually CaStLeS, but that’s way too much work to type) might be one of freshest takes on that era. I’m hearing traces of the krautrock of Can and Neu! (both had reissues in the 90’s […]

Everyone’s a winner, babe. Everyone’s a winner. It makes me choke, my taste. Choke over. Even when it’s someone else’s. For years, I helped define the notion of ‘cool’ in music.

Beaches – She Beats (Chapter Music)

Beaches have chosen to exist as a small, heavily populated planet in a universe of infinite possibilities and sounds. And that is never a cause for celebration.

Song of the day – 389: Ourself Beside Me

This is a fine companion piece to 8 Eye Spy. I am beyond good and evil.

Song of the day – 370: The New Sound Of Numbers (a love song to Athens GA, part four)

Is that a cow bell? No.

Moon Duo – Mazes (Sacred Bones)

Music culture doesn’t have any kind of forward momentum anymore so albums like Mazes are allowed to exist without much complaint.

Song of the day – 300: The Clean (mini-live review)

I doubt if there’s a single person here who undervalues The Clean’s beauty, their vivid guitar storms punctuated by trebly guitar excess and bursts of down-home, deprecating humour.
