Maybe it's just me, but when July 4th falls on a Thursday, the week feels like seven Sundays.
Here is "Stranded in Time" by The United States of America.
Moar accoardion.
From one of my favorite (and definitely most interesting) bands, here is some metal grind polka with clear operatic and eastern European folk influence.
3/4 time FTW!
Even if the vocals are 'not for you' the rest of the song is incredibly interesting (to me).
If you find yourself contemplating — yet again — the ten supernal sefirot today, you might use this as background music. It's lovely.
Sunday's vibe.
I'd venture a guess that this was originally written to be a part of the Electric Dreams soundtrack, but didn't quite make the cut. Either way, let the nostalgia wash over you.
Indulged in a trip down memory lane on Sunday, went to see these guys live. They go well with Ruby Vroom-era Soul Coughing.
After all these years, they've still got it, what an amazing show! (and Paul Slavens is pretty much a Dallas music institution at this point)
Dig it, baby.
Here's Cold Blood with "You Got Me Hummin'"
Here's Ishmael Ensemble's "Dust" from the album "Rituals", coming September 6
What do I want?
I Want More!
Why post and share music?
Because we CAN!
Today's listening has been mostly Basil Kirchin. Here's a choice cut. If it sounds too 'experimental' for your taste, skip to the 2 minute mark for a great, happy jazz piece.
Perfect match for my "yay-another-dark-and-stormy-day" attitude.
This morning is a high energy one for me. Digging on this band from Oslo. Reminiscent of Muse, maybe a bit of Haken, but they have a sound all their own. Crank it up!
Here's Rendezvous Point with "Don't Look Up"
You may have heard this song somewhere before. This morning I did a deep dive into Liam Singer's albums. They're full of quirky awesomeness. Think Sufjan and Grandaddy and Middle East with some approachable avant-garde-ish Arcade Fire. That's what I get, anyway, but there's definitely something special going on here.
Hey baby,
"Let's make some toast,
that's slang for hot bread"
"If you’ve sat in the yard at dusk right before the mosquitoes come out, ridden a bike through the suburbs in the summertime, or even just driven around your own neighborhood with the windows rolled down, you’ll hear in Neighborhoods an aleatoric sound set in amber. Who was the fellow that plucked out such moments of everyday life, pared them down, and wove it all together?"
Happy Sunday.
Here's some 60's Michigan Garage Punk from my cousin's band, The Beethoven Four (originally known as DJ and the Minors):
Hard to believe that it was almost 4 years ago that I took the entire day off (rare!) to watch the "Prog from Home" concert (COVID lockdown). The day was full of a lot of great talent, but this guy. Man. He blew me away. Is this the most perfect voice for prog? And this is a very raw recording.
Smooth vibes for my stressful morning. If you're also having one, I hope this helps.
Here is Kraan with "Silky Way"
(I would have linked the live version, but those mimes only added the stress right back)
