I can't decide if I'm writing the same three songs over and over again or not. I still like them for what it's worth.

Introducing the (finally) completed sixtieth Starter Pack with all the bands, orchestras, choirs, independent labels, and musicians I can find on Blue Sky! Please have a look, follow some or all of them, and share this pack here and in other places! go.bsky.app/Fpn2Qwm

3/4 and Full Size. #Caturday @derringdotoyou.bsky.social

Missed this last year. I've liked everything SANAM has put out. sanambeirut.bandcamp.com/album/sameto...

My first monthly roundup of good experimental music releases is up over at goodexperimentalmusic.com. If you liked my Bandcamp Daily column, you will hopefully like this too! It's free for anyone to read so pass it around if you'd like. Thanks! www.goodexperimentalmusic.com/good-experim...

If you'd like to see this series continue, please consider supporting it in some fashion. A dollar or two contribution, telling a friend about it, social media shares -- all help! ko-fi.com/etherdiver/g...

2000 Great Songs #1344: I Am Not Willing. A gorgeous slice of late 60s psychedelic Americana from Moby Grape, more a long, slow fade-out than a fully-conceived song, yet unbelievably moving. More recently an indie band cover fave.

And now they are all gone. RIP Sonny Rollins.

Hey, I started a site/newsletter to continue the work of my recently-cancelled column. I features a monthly (free) rundown of good experimental releases, plus a bonus (paid-sub) post on a single release from the month. Check out goodexperimentalmusic.com and thanks to everyone who encouraged this!

An absolutely W I L D Other People's Music this week! All 5 of these albums push the limits in one way or another, from anarchic dub to modular-synth driven free jazz. This is an entry for the (strange) ages! Don't miss it. www.etherdiver.com/2026/05/22/o... #musicsky

Bonus EP10 out now on all platforms. Simon Reynolds on MBV, shoegaze and a whole lot more. www.paulmcdermott.ie/bonus-episod...

With everything going on, I'd rather not do this, but extra costs will come into play soon, so I will have to share this periodically. I'll keep it going for as long as I can. Please, only donate if you can really afford it. ko-fi.com/untidyradio

My new album is a month old! (Or, it was on Saturday but I don't post much on weekends.) Have you listened to it? What's your favorite track? Or, what's your favorite new low our republic has notched in the past 32 days? So many to choose from! passenger-pigeon.bandcamp.com/album/anothe...

I just watched Hausu for the third time--first in a theater--and man is that movie nuts and boy do I love it.

always recording, always having my picture taken.

MFers trying to make me go through Emo rock again. Not having it this time either.

You're about to see headlines saying abortion pills can't be shipped. THAT IS NOT TRUE You can still get abortion pills by mail to all fifty states. Some providers will switch to miso-only, some will ship both mife & miso. I got into all of this when the federal court ruling first dropped:

Seattle soared to prosperity with the help of cheap power from city-owned dams in the North Cascades. Now, after more than a century, it has agreed to pay three Indigenous tribes about $1.35 billion for some of the wealth it extracted from the Skagit River.

I guess I was a day off listening to Stevie Wonder. Happy Birthday to him!

Fellow Blueskyers @downupright.bsky.social & @logotrope.xyz are featured in this week's Other People's Music. They offer a diverse and quirky electronic soundtrack for tabletop gaming, and weird, textured IDM, respectively. Check them out! www.etherdiver.com/2026/05/08/o... #musicsky #IDM #TTRPG

guess i'll have to stop recording for a few weeks to read this? Thanks @feralhouse.bsky.social!

musicfortherestofus.blog Normally this is a #bandcamp focused blog, but since @subvert.fm is now live, feel free to post your Subvert links and/or graphic in the comments and I will (probably) add it to the blog this week. Thanks all, take care, and sat safe out there.

Subvert has launched! We've put our last three releases up for purchase. Thanks! www.subvert.fm/the-vardaman...

How come there's not a metal band called Dwarf Lords?

For those in PNW/PDX, the band The Recognitions had most (all?) of their equipment stolen from their house. They've had to cancel their upcoming shows as well. There's a gofundme if you can help out (gofund.me/21e79252e) or buy some of their music: therecognitions.bandcamp.com/track/one-ta...

Need one more NEW submission (i.e. from someone who has never sent music to OPM) for this week... Like, today. Now. Send it in, people!

If you've ever wondered what it's like to see me/Passenger Pigeon live, here's video from my release show. (It sounds better in person at full volume.) Also, this was my first time bringing a mallet into the operation. I'll be doing that more.

Happy Pride everyone. I wrote a column about gay rights pioneer Thom Higgins, who called Minnesota home for most of his (too short) life. I really want more people to know the story of this remarkable guy. Please read and share (gift link)!

Four to represent the stuff we've been working on over the winter. I tend to make a playlist for myself (and to share) as well. This is a smattering of what has been inspirational material. youtube.com/playlist?lis...
