I finally got around to checking out my bud Kiffie's new album, "Living Past MIdnight". It's only available on Bandcamp for now, and it's worth your time, especially if you're into the dark side of Synthwave.

As I said, he's a friend, and we've collobarated in the past.

New music from early alt stalwarts The The!

Read the liner notes in the video - the way the song was constructed is fascinating - at least to a person like me.

New Music

Dive Time (with yungatita), "Number One Priority"

Their first release. I may have been only the second person the stream the song. That will change. Yungatita has 1.2M followers. Dive Time, as of when I type this - has TWO.

I love this sort of thing. Enjoy!

Airbag, the Norwegian prog-rock band, has dropped a new album called "The Century of the Self" and it is a wonderfully restrained and melodic album full of wonderful songwriting and performing. Definately worth a listen on the platform of your choice.

While the Fake AI is more than a little distracting this new song from Wishy is pretty damned good.

Wishy - "Triple Seven"
