🎧 Molly Payton, "Ruins". From beautiful NZ, Molly Payton has been releasing singles of increasing awesomeness for the last several months. She's a great songwriter and singer and her songs are semi-soft washes of modern indie-rock. Check her out.

🎧
Starting off NMF (thank you @phase ) with the new Giles Martin mix of my all time forever favorite album. Big boxed set dropped today!

If you’re a music obsessive like me, Friday means “new release day”! Anyone besides me poring over a bunch of music feeds today looking for newly dropped gems??

Any newish people want to talk about indie music, podcasting, prog rock, classic comedy? Don’t be shy. I can prattle on about that shit for days!

🎧 Same, "does it go any faster". Just released today, been waiting for this one anxiously since they dropped the "Admin Reveal" single a few weeks back. The great state of PA continues to be a wellspring of great indie music. Easy and breezy on the surface with the tense underbelly. Give it a tumble wherever you enjoy music (but they wouldn't say no to the 10 bucks on bandcamp)

🎧 King Crimson, "Live in Chicago (June 28 2017)". There are over 50 live KC albums but this one is at or near the top. One of their best overall performances, and a dream setlist.

Just finished watching the King Crimson 50 documentary. Not the historical retrosoective one would expect. Instead its plays out like an epic crimson song, moments of chaos, moments of ridiculous precision, and moments of nothingness and heartbreak that mean everything to the song. A really solid look at not only how the sausage is made, but how people consume it. Its really about the bands relationship to itself, its music, and its unrelenting “leader”.

🎧 Combo Chimbita, “Iré”. Psychedelic alt rock from Columbian (based in NYC) quartet. It’s a trip for the mind and the heart.

If you want to hear all the new music we play on the “lets play ten” podcast but you’d rather skip the babble, we get it. We have a playlist of just the songs and you can rock out uninterrupted by our banter.

Its BANDCAMP Friday. All sales go to the artists as BC waives their fees. Go buy some music. And if you’re feeling a bit charitable today…..

Its an alternate Thursday so there is a new episode of my indie music podcast “Lets Play Ten” ready for your earholes. Check us out and if you like anything you hear please help the bands and buy some music! 40ficreations.com/letsplayten

🎧 Julie Odell, “Autumn Eve”. I dont do these too much anymore. This new record is really just….a stunning listen. Its “alt-folk” if you will. Julie’s voice is intense and powerful and the arrangements are sophisticated and dramatic. Its on all the streamers and available for purchase at frenchkiss records. Give it a try.

Episode 2 of the “Lets Play Ten” podcast drops just after midnight. Its chock full of all-new indie releases and ponderings on the existence of the music God. Please give us a tumble. Available on all services and you can subscribe right here: 40ficreations.com/podcast-1

🎧 Kings X, "Three Sides of One". First album in 14 years. Even if you were just a casual observer of the band or the genre, give this a listen. It's classic Kings X in the vein of their first 4 or 5 records. Rollicking rockers with ridiculous guitar solos, smoldering ballads with Beatles harmonies, and a shroud of darkness in the mix. Welcome back.

A re-post of shameless self-promotion:
I am very proud to say my new music podcast is finally live. "Let's Play Ten" is a bi-weekly show that features ten brand new songs from the indie/diy/small label community. We want to support these artists and their labels, and help some folks find their new favorite bands. We'll tell some stories and give you the info. "Let's Play Ten" is on ALL services. Please check it out! You can subscribe directly at 40ficreations.com/podcast-1

🎧 Disq, “Collection”. Last minute decision to go see Neko Case last night. This band opened. Not at all what you’d expect for the “mandals and hemp purses” crowd. These kids came out and blew the doors off the place with a raucous set of loud alt-prog-punk that had my fellow 50-somethings pushing the ear-plugs in as far as they would go. I LOVED this band. Been spinning this “cd” most of the day. Strap in.
