stop saying 'delve'

New blog post! Wrote about new records from Sueño Púrpura, Goodbye Wudaokou @goodbyewudaokou.bsky.social @subjangle.bsky.social, Generifus @perpetualdoom.bsky.social, and Left Tracks @sunkin.bsky.social:

incredibly humiliating when you're listening to an album you really like while driving down sunset and suddenly see that album on the big billboard

youtu.be/FR9jaB8yipY?... left tracks playing one of phil's tunes

imo i'm the most underrated power pop musician on your feed. new single out today. check it out if you'd like lefttracks.bandcamp.com/track/im-gone

no one follows me on here but in the small chance that you do, i'm playing a big blowout gig tomorrow night with @pacingmusic.bsky.social and @suzietrue.bsky.social at Scribble, a place i also do therapy. hope to see you there! dice.fm/event/nvedx5...

just discovered my new mandela effect: taylor swift actually got engaged to travis kelce last year after the superbowl

This year for my birthday (which, I cannot stress this enough, is also Snoopy's birthday)... Consider checking out this *brand new* remix I did of a @sunkin.bsky.social tune we put out this week! Available/streaming wherever your data is sold 🫡

i was so stoked to serve as 'rick rubin vibes guy' on much of this record and 'actual bassist/musician' on 2 tracks

i literally go on here so seldom that it just made me re-login. maybe everyone who knows of me already knows this but i have a new song out as of yesterday (my bday). it's called "33" it's on streaming as well as bc: sunraykin.bandcamp.com/track/33

someone tried to shame me for posting music a few months ago. like what should I be doing, spending every waking moment wringing my hands in terror? yelling on social media like that makes a difference? nah, I'm filling my life with the stuff that makes life worth living, and trying to share it too.

i looove remixes and was so glad to get to kick this off! to me, artists remixing each other's song is the essence of creativity and collaboration. remixing has taught me so much about songwriting and artistic style

i love remixes so much that i am starting to commission them for I Enjoy Remixes, the I Enjoy Music remix label. read this blog post and you will see the first pair of remixes (artists remixing each other's songs!) from @sunkin.bsky.social and Styles Munson... www.ienjoymusic.net/i-enjoy-remi...

this is apropos of nothing but that's fine because nobody engages with my shit on here. i finally feel like i'm getting more confident with mixing. i know where i want things to get to and how to get them there. i still feel like 'wtf am i doing' in the moment but then i listen and go 'oh cool'

fyi 'violence' is coded to mean 'property damage' which is done by a miniscule amount of people taking advantage of the ICE-funded ammunition-sponsored chaos. this is Bass's fake riot

“There Will Be Blood” sung to the tune of “She Will Be Loved”

I'm absolutely hooked on "Doom Scroll" by @sunkin.bsky.social

My second real-ass-album PL*NET F*TNESS will be out July 25 on @asianmanrecords.bsky.social lr-d.ffm.to/pf Two new songs are out today, with a little music video I made with footage from the first half of tour ❤️

LA! i'm playing a show w my band Left Tracks on may 28 at the venerable permanent records. we do some crazy instrument swapping sampler unison singing madness. do come :) - www.eventbrite.com/e/britta-rac...

i just find it kinda fun that my two 2024 albums accidentally have such similar artwork composition

Happy 80th anniversary of Hitler killing himself in his bunker to all who celebrate, which, as I now understand it, is not everybody

but i thought socialism is when the shelves are bare?

new Left Tracks song "Here on the Lawn" is out now :) drums were my first instrument, but that's rarely shown in recorded music by my bands. that all changes now. Phil and I wrote this song together on guitar and drums. I'm so proud of it. it goes from 7/8 to 5/8. real nerd shit

New song coming tomorrow. If u even care :)

i know at least six friendships ended because of twitter (now x). just an observache.

one thing about me is i love remix albums. please comment your favorite remix albums below.

sunraykin.bandcamp.com/album/sunset... One year of Sunset World. I still think this is the best album I've made, but I was so exhausted finishing it that I feel like I let it down, like not enough people heard it. I have a couple CDs left if you'd like one. Thanks for listening :)

From a year ago: Wrote about records from Cloud Nothings @purenoiserecords.bsky.social, Ekko Astral @ekkoastral.bsky.social @topshelfrecords.com, Sun Kin @sunkin.bsky.social, and The Juniper Berries @earthlibraries.com:

this sounds awesome!

I have a really beautiful project I'm working on with my dad that we're looking to get some PR for. it's a really heartbreaking story of brotherhood and family and tragedy. any leads?

most production "tips" are nonsense. but one i can get behind is that your subconscious is a better mix engineer than you. once you've spent a bit of time on it, bounce it and let it percolate. then log back in once your mind has figured out what you need to do to improve the track.

'working class hero' by cat power and iggy pop has been taken down from streaming. one of the best covers ever. featured a prominent u2 sample which is probably why it was redacted. dumb as hell

[ redacted ]

alert for nerds: i am searching for songs in phrygian for a playlist i'm making

the very real tendency for ppl to get all reactionary to a rave review of an album & be all like “whatever man, it’s not that good” will only leave egg on your face in the case of painting whales. like put it on for 10 seconds lol. sorry if u can’t hang but it’s the real deal 🤷‍♀️

i keep trying to buy an Obo but when i get there the guy's always trying to sell me a dresser instead

these days i'm just like 'buttfuck it we ball'

WHY IS SHE LAUGHING

among the myriad ways that sp*tify is a badly designed application is that their "always round down" algorithm for song duration also extends to release dates. like this album that came out on January 1, 2016 being dated 2015 🥴

New post!

To everyone asking about @chrisfarren.bsky.social's perfect closing argument in @cheekface.bsky.social's "Living Lo Fi" music video, here's a behind the scenes look into the most beautiful legal mind of our times.

this song is so good and made me really sad the first time i heard it and also many of the subsequent times but it's a banger so it also made me laugh and be happy and it's funny how katie's songs can do that

Pl*net freaking F*tness. This song has been in my life for so long that what it means to me has changed over time. It’s a heavy song from a difficult time! But it’s also one of the first songs we played live as a real band at some really fun shows, and recorded in a real studio,

@sunkin.bsky.social played bass 🫡💜

the biggest recent diy music grift was leesta vall. it was a cool idea to do bespoke one off recordings onto acetate but the acetates sound like literally nothing (they make sound every couple seconds) and they did a massive rug pull that hurt both the artists and the people who paid for them

it takes goots to be gentle and kind

oh no
