An amazing snapshot. I wrote about it and the other great Les Blank music films here. observer.com/2024/07/the-...

Willow tree, cattail, and a boat painted with a mermaid by Robert Rauschenberg. Walking around Storm King sculpture park on a moody spring day.

New album on @firetalkrecs.bsky.social by Robber Robber from Burlington VT goes very hard. A grunge twist on something sounding like Atari Teenage Riot covered by an shoegaze band. Takes me back to '04-'05ish rawness. #newmusic #musicsky robberrobber.bandcamp.com/album/two-wh...

The way to make a song popular is to pay a company to manufacture a trend using thousands of fake social accounts. On the art of astroturfing mass appeal (and saying the quiet part out loud): www.billboard.com/pro/digital-...

Just watched this. Fantastic and tense. 📽️ boxd.it/1NRk

A wavy, psychedelic cumbia-ish ballad for summer evenings. I hope this NYC collab has more music on the way because this is cool. combochimbita.bandcamp.com/album/perd-n...

The power of listening together; some vintage grooves from Texas; what might be a popular record this summer; a kid in Utah with poor vision and great ears; a jammy record with a hat tip to the Grateful Dead; and more in this week’s Listening Habit. listeninghabit.substack.com/p/yelling-he...

This Wendy Eisenberg album sounds like one thing at first, but morphs and gets jazzier and more experimental as it goes. Good for a quiet, rainy morning.

New Paramount logo just dropped

🧵1/12 I'm picking out a dozen deep dubs from the 1970s today in a 'House of Reggae plays the dub masters at Bluesky station'. Starting off with the don of all dub versions. This was so good, Island made it the A side... youtu.be/A_Fyp0I_WjA?... #reggae #reggaesky #vinylsky #vinyl #musicsky #dub

I wish I’d known you’d make fun of the stew themed bed set before I bought it.

🎤 Experts are not dubious about how good this new Nickelus F record is. Find yourself some that fur cap attitude and get down with this. #hiphop #musicsky #newmusic nickelusf.bandcamp.com/album/the-un...

Locals, I just put my 2 tickets to tonight's sold-out Takaat show at Tubby's Kingston up for sale to the waitlist. Go grab them via Tubby's website or the Dice app and help me not lose my money! (Takaat = rhythm section from Mdou Moctar. Sounds awesome, but I have other plans.)

Among the things that made me feel old today… kruderanddorfmeister.bandcamp.com/album/dj-kic...

“Then I thought, ‘Why not do a spoken-word cover to really unearth the poignancy of the lyrics?’” If you’ve been looking for a spoken word Janet Jackson cover album, Lawrence has you covered.

Gave this an initial listen today and really liked it. More in the intelligent chill/downtempo spectrum but not just a rehashing of lo-fi beats style. Great use of toms and old, round subs beneath slow-techno soundscape. #newmusic #electronicmusic foote-dickow.bandcamp.com/album/high-c...

I refuse to believe that *everybody* was kung fu fighting.

A fun and funky contemporary disco-house compilation from Berlin that owes debts of gratitude to musical influences from Africa, New York and Detroit. Broad but coherent selection of tracks, stylistically. #musicsky toytonics.bandcamp.com/album/kapote...

Cool, acoustic sounds for sacred journeys. Some of this would work equally well in meditation settings or backroad scenic drives. emptyhouse.bandcamp.com/album/4-medi...

If you have a chance to catch this film at your local indie cinema, it’s excellent. A visual mixtape of restored “views” (early motion pictures) shot in 1895-1896 and set to the music of Fauré. Some beautiful stuff. A meditation on the Lumière family’s thumbprint on cinema. boxd.it/nJKS

Stylistic expansion from a familiar name; the return to form of a notable German band; MIDI-organ experiments; a grounding set of nature sounds from Japan; a rediscovered gem of eclecticism, and more in this week’s Listening Habit. listeninghabit.substack.com/p/slang-abbr...

Kemlo and the Zones of Silence – ‘Neurology Bingo’ Earthrid is excited to release the long-awaited first album by this collaborative project. @toxicchicken.bsky.social + @caryaamara.bsky.social = Kemlo and the Zones of Silence. 🚀 Play Neurology Bingo and space out… #experimental #electronicmusic

Wrapping up another work day.

Spring is here, the flowers have returned, and so’s Haunted Jukebox - join me for another 2 hours of killer rock’n’roll, doo-wop, rhythm & blues, and rockabilly. You don’t even have to go outside. www.mixcloud.com/RockinRachel... #musicsky #radio #DJ #nowspinning #nowplaying

No fooling. The new @nahreally.bsky.social record continues his series of finely crafted, jazzy boom bap sounds topped with personable rap flows and permeated by food themes. 5oclockshadowboxers.bandcamp.com/album/extra-...

Maybe, maybe not. We’ll see… youtu.be/Jtb10ZwbReY?...

I saw an ebay listing for a used stereo. As-Is: $1 - plays at full volume only. I thought to myself, I can't turn that down.

Notable one for the hudson valley concert calendar. I enjoyed their album from last year. dice.fm/event/7dqgvv...

Saw the trailer for the new Michael Jackson biopic when I went to the movies earlier. It looks like it’s gonna be all the worst things about music biopics.

Bumping this back up the timeline in honor of trans visibility day. Wendy Carlos helped shape electronic music in the 60s and 70s. The Clockwork Orange Soundtrack is a timeless work of sound art. #synthsky

The new single from Lambrini Girls is out now. “Cult of Celebrity” is a raucous, riff-driven indictment of internet sellouts who made a deal with the devil in exchange for fame. The duo will be touring the US this spring. #newmusic youtu.be/_DAuSNXBgoM?...

New one from Adrian Quesada sounds like live remixes of The Ventures with beefed up drums. Vintage-sounding grooves par excellence. Perfect sounds for surfing in the desert. #musicsky #newmusic #instrumentals adrianquesada.bandcamp.com/album/trio-a...

There's a New Balance sneaker honoring the Roland TR-808 that will be released on 8/08. djmag.com/news/roland-...

The new album from Fcukers seems like it'll be popular this summer. It's the right kind of perfectly executed, sassy dance-pop attitude. Didn’t expect this type of thing from Kenny Beats, who produced the record. fcukers.bandcamp.com/album/-

Can confirm this is an incredible album. It’s worth buying and listening to many times. RIYL: Sessa meets Sven Wunder

My favorite dumb rock fact is that Kim Gordon is older than Geddy Lee

The staffers responsible for assuming Flea and Kim were GenX have been fired

I tried going into Flea's new album with an open mind, but I'm just not feeling it. Thoughts? officialflea.bandcamp.com/album/honora

The week ending March 29, 1980, British singer/songwriter & musician Gary Numan earned US #OneHitWonder honors when his pioneering synth-pop and new wave anthem “Cars” entered the US #Billboard #Top40 at #40. The single spent 17 weeks on the chart, peaking at #9. #GaryNuman #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
