Pretty sure this has been stated already, but worth reminding: as a music fan, check out the documentary Other Music when you can. I think some of the spirit of that place is alive here in N&G. And support your local record store!!!
Listening to year end "best song" playlists can be a real trip. Like moving from Saweetie's "Tap In" to Fleet Foxes "Sunblind" on the Pitchfork list sure is a unique transition.
Com Truise does it again – music that transports me back to the late 80s as a kid playing Outrun in the arcade. The track Reciprocity on his new one is dope.
Began the morning with Mary Lattimore and now listening to this beautiful new Force Majeure album from Intl Anthem. I didn't intend today to be so much harp, but glad it happened!
Grandaddy's The Sophtware Slump … on a wooden piano released today. Sitting here getting chills listening to the epic opening track. So many memories associated with this album. So happy Jason did this.
Still a month and a half to go, but my #1 music discovery of 2020 is still BC Camplight. He's got a few albums, it's just that I only discovered him until this year. Shortly After Takeoff released this year is a trip.
On this album release Friday check out the Jesse Kivel album Infinite Jess, especially if you like the heartland synth vibe, albeit in low-fi. Great fall mood music.
Lucky to get day off from my employer. Only spinning relaxing things today. Bonobo's Migration on now, I'm lining up Bing & Ruth, Album Leaf, and Khruangbin records. Recs welcome! If I don't have it I'll stream.
Steady Holiday's recent single Living Life is just fantastic. I saw her open for Islands a couple years ago and enjoyed her set, but this is next level stuff.
I'm 41, so this article/list of Landfill Alternative from the 90s is some heavy nostalgia to 90s alternative radio (shout out to WBRU in Prov RI). The writer really dug up some gems I forgot about completely!
i hate cleaning out my work email, but it does feel so good when that's done. TGIF. gotta finish work and check out the new Future Islands, Slow Pulp, Lattimore and Touché Amoré …
Well, Stereogum was not wrong about their album of the week imo, this Bartees Strange album is genre-bending and fantastic. I'd never heard of this guy before, so thanks Stereogum.
I don't know why I got the Idles clear vinyl that came in the PVC single sleeve package. I hate that kind of packaging, and I still bought it. Of course it arrived and the record had sliced through the three sides, except the flap side. Hopefully it sounds good – will spin later. "you do it to yourself and that's why it really hurts"
