Painting  AI, Absolutely!   Favoriting Single  Sinnbus  2025  Painting is a new band with members of Golden Diskó Ship und Soft Grid. We play SynthPop/AvantKraut/NoiseJazz....and blend acoustic sounds, call-and-response singing patterns between clean or manipulated voices, electronic experimentation and gripping grooves into dynamic collages that are constantly moving, progressing from one point to another while taking the occasional detour along the way to venture into previously unknown territory. They are from Berlin  *   0:02:22 (MP3 | Pop-up)
La Sécurité  Ketchup   Favoriting Ketchup/Detour Single  Bella Union  2025  La Sécurité’s new single “Ketchup” (January 28th, 2025 via Bella Union & Mothland) kicks off with a tightly-wound post-punk gallop anchoring the most distorted bass line ever recorded to go along with dizzyingly catchy keys and spooky guitar licks. The verse, coming by way of a supremely ingenious chord change, sees the Montréal (CA) collective build a compelling case against small talk. The song is not about condiments, rather sarcastically alluding to the delicious tomato-based sauce with the line, “L’affaire est ketchup”, a Québec expression meaning: “All is well”.  *   0:08:16 (MP3 | Pop-up)
Big Fun  Cheap Talk   Favoriting Deep Jock  Guttertalk Records  2025  LA-based outfit Big Fun are back to their unusual ways as they drop the new 5 track EP "Deep Jock" They say of their sound "I’ve been using the blanket term ‘Rock’ lately, but it feels like a bit of a cop-out. We like to call our style ‘guttertech’ a phrase we came up with when we were formulating our sound back in 2017. But there are other good ones we fall under too like: Dance Punk, Surf Rock, Synth Rock, Experimental and stuff like that...."  *   0:11:02 (MP3 | Pop-up)
We Hate You Please Die  Adrenaline   Favoriting Chamber Songs  NMAS  2024  Still relatively new, this album came out last Sept. Hailing from (near) Paris, France WHYPD is a hard band to pin down. Equal parts scathing punk rock fury, jangly garage pop elation, riotous incitement to revolution and darkly poetic introspection, this young avantgarde 4 piece powerhouse seems to revel in the confusion they elicit. Take this sentence from their bio… “However, hope is now here as freaks and underdogs take up arms, some would rather fight than take selfies, voiceless people are screaming, it is time for deconstruction.” …And there you have it.    0:13:16 (MP3 | Pop-up)
Viv Albertine  Confessions of a MILF   Favoriting The Vermillion Border  The Cadiz Recording Company  2012  "Confessions of a MILF", the best song on the album, ping-pongs between repression and release. Documenting an unhappy housewife's inner voice, Albertine whispers the verses' exaggeratedly saccharine melody ("I've peeled the potatoes, there's not much left to do/ Lovely lemon drizzle cake, heat up the fondue") like a Stepford Wife singing an Oompah Loompah parable. But the longer the song goes on, the more its undercurrent of darkness bubbles to the surface. By its finale, a warping, manically chanted refrain of "There's no place like home," the song becomes reminiscent of Sleater-Kinney's "Modern Girl", a quietly dystopian dream to choked to death on its own fairy dust...But its hush only adds to the song's unsettling power. "MILF" is an updated take on an idea the Slits always embodied: Punk isn't necessarily about making the loudest noise, but giving breath to the most radical, surprising, and unspoken truths."    0:17:16 (MP3 | Pop-up)
Casual Sex  Soft School   Favoriting Collected Works 2008-2014  Last Night From Glasgow  2024  Casual Sex are a Glasgow outfit in the Orange Juice/Franz Ferdinand tradition rather than in the Alex Harvey sense. Theirs is a spiky, tart pop music inspired by that moment in early 1981 when the penny dropped and UK post-punk bands began to realise one way out of the art of darkness was through the charts. They have a singer whose voice channels Lou Reed's droll spirit and some of Edwyn Collins's arch wit, and the way their players negotiate their instruments suggests an affinity with all manner of pop and rock styles and eras from glam to white reggae. The joint CVs of these late twentysomethings include stints in record production, studio engineering, other groups as well as "the fashion and telecommunications industries", as their press release has it.    0:22:49 (MP3 | Pop-up)

McLusky  Way Of The Exploding Dickhead   Favoriting The World Is Still Here And So Are We  Ipecac Recordings  2025  "Mclusky have announced that they will be releasing a new album. It is called the world is still here and so are we and will be out on May 9 via Ipecac Recordings. In 2023 mclusky released a four-song EP (their first new songs in 19 years at the time) and two songs from that EP - “unpopular parts of a pig” and “the digger you deep” will be on this album. ////////// "Mclusky (often stylized as mclusky), originally known as Best, are a British post-hardcore band formed in Cardiff in 1996. The group originally consisted of Andrew Falkous (vocals, guitar), originally from Newcastle upon Tyne, Geraint Bevan (bass) and Matthew Harding (drums); the latter two were replaced by Jonathan Chapple and Jack Egglestone in 1997 and late 2003 respectively. The band released three studio albums before splitting in 2004, reconvening in 2014 – without Chapple – under the monikers 'mclusky' and mclusky*, before ultimately dropping the asterisk." /////////////// The band has also released a video for their new song “way of the exploding dickhead” which was directed by Remi Lamont."

The ideas were later developed during focused writing sessions at a quiet farm in Oxfordshire. The album was recorded by Stanley Gravett at Holy Mountain Studios in Hackney, mixed by Wayne Adams at Bear Bites Horse, and mastered by James Plotkin.

Guided By Voices  The Great Man   Favoriting Universe Room  Guided By Voices Inc.  2025  "Universe Room is the 41st album released by Guided by Voices, released on February 7, 2025." -- From RS Mag-- "Guided By Voices get lean and mean on their 18th album in 10 years, Universe Room, out Feb. 7 via the band’s label. //// “I wanted to create, hopefully, an experience, kind of a wild ride, where the listener would want to hear it multiple times in order to grasp all the sections and fields of sound to discover something new with each listen,” frontman Robert Pollard tells Rolling Stone of the album, which was produced by Travis Harrison. “I trimmed down the songs so that there wasn’t a lot of repetition, so you get a lot of sections that happen only once or twice.” //// “I wanted to get a little more sonic diversity for this album,” he adds. “So I asked each member of the band to record all the instruments for one song and I did three songs myself.” //// The 17-track album follows this past summer’s Strut of Kings, as well as three new records in 2023: La La Land, Welshpool Frillies, and Nowhere to Go But Up. It will also drop the same day as a new album from Australian indie-pop band the Moles, via Pollard’s Splendid Research label. //// “Richard Davies is one of the last great songwriters on planet Earth,” Pollard says of the album, Composition Book. “Every song on [the album] is up there with his finest and so it’s no small feat that after 35 years of making beautiful records, this one is his best.”"  *   0:49:08 (MP3 | Pop-up)
Bob Hund  Jonnie?   Favoriting Jonnie? [Digital Single]  Adrian Recordings  2025  Released January 29, 2025 //// "There’s not many bands, if any, that have a stronger following and cult status in Sweden and the Nordic countries, as the eccentric band - bob hund. // Recently they released their ninth studio album called "0-100” the first one on label Adrian Recordings. bob hund never sleeps. ///// "New single from bob hund as heard in TV show 2025-01-29 //// BOB HUND, VA´ GÖR DU? //// bob hund enlists the help of artist Esther and delivers a steaming Kal P. Dal cover, which was performed in På Spåret last Friday, now it is being released as a single.... tickets for bob hund’s last ever gigs in Norway, Denmark and Finland will also be released." ////// ++++ Bob Hund celebrates with a brand new pop single in wobbly rattling Skånsk-Stockholmska. Why? Well, because the orchestra is making its debut as a house band in Sweden's largest entertainment program På Spåret. //// The song "Jonnie?" is an energetic interpretation of a tragicomic old Kal P. Dal song from the live album "Till Mossan", released during punk's fever peak in 1977. 48 years later, Bob Hund walks with proud indie pop steps into the Swedish Gramophone Studio Gothenburg. Together with the artist Esther, who sings, plays the marimba and celeste, they update the melody to new heights. //// Bob Hund also leaves the stage with the most important concerts in the band's history during the year. After four decades, the party is over - and history is to be written. The band has just announced the last concerts in Norway, Denmark and Finland. The band has already sold out Zinkensdamm in Stockholm, a concert that will be the band's absolute last." https://bobhund.bandcamp.com/  *   0:51:10 (MP3 | Pop-up)
Consumables  Infinite Games   Favoriting Infinite Games  We Are Time / Fierce Panda  2025  [From "Jammer Zine"] "'Infinite Games' stems from an impasse with an ex bandmate and an epiphany about the game being played. Winning the argument (a finite game) is futile. The objective is to keep the game in play (infinite game). And when this is felt, not merely known, the result is limitlessness." //// "Consumables have today released their new track ‘Infinite Games’ from their upcoming album of the same name dropping March 7th via We Are Time (North America) and Fierce Panda (UK/EU). ///// Pulling off that ‘demo’ feel while keeping that sheer originality spice and charm from a band meant for the stadium, this goes well beyond indie cliché and becomes it’s own thing in it’s own right. //// ‘Inifinite Games’ is the perfect introduction to your next favorite band giving you your next favorite album. The title track chugs along without a care in the world, just as we should a learn to do from time to time. Consumables show us that it’s not hard to make good music on your own terms. This is not a game. //// About Consumables: Consumables are a fierce NYC-based art punk quartet with a defiant philosophical edge. Their debut album, Infinite Games, co-written and produced by Bodega’s Ben Hozie, cuts to the heart of contemporary alienation by grappling with the desperate quest for control in a world drowning in chaos and unpredictability. The band is made up of Kyle Crew (vocals, guitar), Miles Fox (vocals, bass, synth), Hector Guillen (drums), and Dylan Joyce (guitar). //// Consumables have made a name for themselves with their explosive live performances around NYC. Guitarist Kyle Crew is tall, confident, and observant, like a watchtower atop a stage where everyone and everything is moving. This commanding presence translates to the album’s rollicking opening track, “Keys to the Cell,” a reflection on Crew’s six month incarceration in an Arkansas jail on pot charges. The track kicks off the album on a raw and optimistic note, reveling in possibilities and new horizons. It lays down the aesthetic gauntlet for what’s to come: “screaming sirens came and went / everything’s a game of chance.” //// The band’s debut album is conceptually inspired by the book Finite and Infinite Games by James P. Carse, which explores the difference between the two concepts. Finite games have boundaries, rules, and clear winners and losers. Infinite games have no winner; the only goal is to continue the play. “So much unnecessary suffering happens when a person plays a finite game in an infinite game scenario,” explains Crew. This theme surfaces often throughout the album’s twelve tracks, from exploring tensions between technology, selfhood, and authenticity on the post-punk standout “Great Design” and the drama of keeping a romantic relationship alive on slacker-tinged “Ten Toes Down”. //// Consumables’ rhythm section is filled by drummer Hector Guillen, who developed his craft early in life playing in prog bands in his native Panama, and bassist Miles Fox, whose synth-pop anthems are amongst the album’s standout cuts – sequenced here as perfect foils to Crew’s jittery hook-centric punk sensibilities. Infinite Games is a bass-forward album; its pulse is impossible to ignore. Listen to Guillen and Fox’s seasoned interplay on “Emotional Speedball,” a meditation on the highs and lows of lust made manifest through a rhythmic core weaving through heavy traffic. Highlights “Dry Rot” and “Messages” surge with the band’s push and pull of rhythmic elasticity. In the latter, Fox meditates on a world of ubiquitous signaling systems wherein – somehow – nothing gets through. In a lyrical highlight of the album, he ponders our “complex motivations, not motivated.” //// The album culminates in the hazy eponymous cut, “Infinite Games” where the band takes flight with a euphoric singalong crescendo that evokes the peak of a psychedelic experience: “I feel limitless / this is what freedom is.” This musical openness expresses the boundless feeling of a relationship viewed through an infinite mindset. There is an immediacy attached to Crew’s question of the purpose of it all: “What kind of creature am I? I’ve got to figure it out.” This is an album about enlightenment at a time when the clock is ticking. //// Infinite Games is out March 7, 2025 via We Are Time (North America) and Fierce Panda (UK/EU). The album was produced and co-written by Ben Hozie of BODEGA, engineered, mixed by Adam Sachs, and mastered by Mikey Young." https://consumables.bandcamp.com/  *   0:54:11 (MP3 | Pop-up)
The WAEVE  Love Is All Pain   Favoriting Eternal  Transgressive Records  2025  Released Feb 14. The WAEVE have announced their latest EP ‘Eternal’ and have shared its lead anti-Valentine’s single ‘Love Is All Pain’. ////// Produced by James Ford (Arctic Monkeys, Blur), the three-track EP is set for release on March 14 via Transgressive and can be pre-ordered / pre-saved here. The first taster of the project comes in the form of ‘Love Is All Pain’. ////// “Oh! Love is all pain / Thought I’d escaped it / But I need it again / It’s hard, it’s hard / It’s harder than hell,” sing the duo – comprised of Blur guitarist Graham Coxon and The Pipettes member Rose Elinor Dougall – in the chours, describing the reaitlies of Love over throbbing electro synths. ////// Directed by Simon Leeder, the song’s accompanying music video was shot entirely on black & white 8mm film in a nod to the post-punk synth-era aesthetic of the late 1980s. It captures The WAEVE on location around Southmere Lake at Thamesmead, South East London’s iconic Brutalist estate. The WAEVE - Love Is All Pain (Official Video)  *   0:59:17 (MP3 | Pop-up)

Boiled Records 

2025 

Released Jan 31, 2025. The record launch will take place at Standard Time (Toronto) on Thursday March 13th & features Memory Pearl alongside GIM Experiential, Kat Duma & Époque Selector. As for the U.S. -- Apr 24 @ Warsaw, Brooklyn, NY -- & -- Apr 25 @ White Eagle Hall, Jersey City, NJ //////// "Memory Pearl is the creative alias of Moshe Fisher-Rozenberg, a Toronto-based multi-instrumentalist, producer, and creative force whose work dances at the crossroads of nostalgia and innovation. ////// Under this moniker, he crafts music that feels like a lucid dream, rooted in the digital yet steeped in the emotional resonance of the human experience. His sonic palette references diverse technological eras and electronic idioms, painting vibrant soundscapes that shimmer like light reflecting on water. ////// Fisher-Rozenberg takes a bold leap into psychotherapeutic history with his latest project, Cosmic-Astral. This work reimagines a once-revolutionary “music program” employed by therapists in the 1970s in tandem with LSD, a tool intended to guide patients on profound inner journeys. //// The original program—a daring and somewhat audacious blend of classical and romantic compositions by Strauss, Scriabin, and Holst—was eventually shelved for being too controversial and too potent in its ability to crack open the psyche. //// But where the original aimed for intensity, Memory Pearl’s re-composition embraces tenderness. His approach celebrates the therapeutic potential of sound, weaving electronic textures into nurturing compositions designed to gently explore the relationship between music and the mind. //// “I wanted to make my own version of the Cosmic-Astral program,” he reflects, “but more delicate and tender.” His words resonate with the spirit of psychotherapists who sought healing not through confrontation alone but through connection—music acting as a bridge to the subconscious, a medium for transformation. //// By choosing to work with electronic instruments, Fisher-Rozenberg honors the sonic healing tradition and modernizes it, creating a space where nostalgia meets innovation. //// The result is an album that doesn’t just echo the therapeutic experiments of the past—it reclaims and reimagines them. Much like the psychotherapists of the 1970s who paired music and psychedelics to unlock the mind’s hidden chambers, Memory Pearl invites listeners on a journey: not one of shock or rupture, but of reflection, exploration, and ultimately, healing. //// With Cosmic-Astral, the boundaries between art, science, and spirituality blur, leaving us to wonder—what if the keys to the psyche are hidden in the harmonies of sound? Fans of Jon Hopkins’ Music for Psychedelic Therapy should love this one. https://memorypearl.bandcamp.com/

Romain FX Feat. Koana  Spacer Woman (Cantonese Cover)   Favoriting Single  Mr Disc  2024  Newish...released just at the tail end of last year...This record came out in 1983, smack in the middle of one of music’s—especially 4/4 dance music’s—most fertile periods, as the fumes of disco were paving the way for electro, hip-hop, and Italo disco, as well as other synth- and drum-machine-led formats. Maurice Cavalieri, who produced and arranged “Spacer Woman,” co-wrote it with Giorgio Stefani, a fellow member in the Italian disco group Firefly. That outfit had released a variety of jams in the early ‘80s as disco started to sundown. Together, they wrote breezy, inviting roller jams like “Love (Is Gonna Be on Your Side),” “Do It Dancin,” and “Love and Friendship.” Their tastes moved from fluffier, more maximalist disco fare to the steely timbres of what you find on the “Spacer Woman” record. Cavalieri was inspired by emerging new wave artists, like Depeche Mode and Heaven 17, who were really embracing synthesizers as the leading sound—and not just a supporting instrument—in creating futuristic soundscapes. Unlike Firefly, Charlie was cold, alien, and sharp....Spacer Woman” feels like a melancholy take on Kraftwerkian motorik precision, like a robot that is somehow aware of humans and its own limitations.” And do we need a Cantonese redux of this? YES WE DO.    1:15:07 (MP3 | Pop-up)

Nouvelle Vague, Elias Dris  Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?   Favoriting Single  PIAS Recordings France  2025  Nouvelle Vague has shared a new single featuring Elias Dris – a reinterpretation of Culture Club’s classic, “Do You Really Want To Hurt Me”.

AUS!Funkt  Casio Oblivion (Bring Down The Power)   Favoriting Bring Down The Power  Disco Devil  2025  Released Feb 14. "Casio Oblivion (Bring Down The Power)" is a raw, electrified soundtrack to resistance. Dedicated to the spirit of student protests in Serbia. ////// "Obliterate me on the Casio" channels the chaos, frustration, and urgency of resistance, dedicated to the student protests in Serbia. The pounding repetition of “Obliterate me on the Casio” reflects the relentless nature of resistance—an unpolished, looping beat that refuses to fade, much like the voices in the streets demanding justice. The Casio, a symbol of something small but persistent, becomes a tool of resistance, a beat that won’t stop, no matter how hard the system tries to silence it. The pounding tension of "I’m fighting for my life in the barrio" reflects the struggle against oppression, inequality, and the weight of economic and political power crushing those who refuse to back down." //////// And with the mantra "Reincarnation, reinterpretation," we embrace the cycle of resistance, reinvention, and the refusal to accept the status quo. It's about tearing down old systems and reimagining a new future, one protest at a time." A video accompanies the song: AUS!Funkt- Casio Oblivion (Bring Down The Power)  *   1:40:40 (MP3 | Pop-up)

HOUSE Of ALL  Infamous Immortal Sister   Favoriting HOUSE Of ALL SOULS  Tiny Global Recordings  2025  The surprise formation of HOUSE Of ALL by five former members of The Fall was bound to provide some pleasant surprises, not the least of which being the creation of an identity distinct from that of any specific Fall line-up, and here the band offer an steep evolution of sound of their two previous albums . . . darker, more elliptic and can we say it? A more mystical sum of talents than most groups ever manage. //// They’ve kept their open door policy to former members of The Fall and expanded it. Phil Lewis, who's stepped in live for Pete Greenway, makes his studio debut, and the long-lost Karl Burns has emerged from his mystery lair to add a third set of drums to the line-up . . . besting The Glitter Band by 50%! How this will work live has yet to be determined, but the band has already scheduled dates in Spring, 2025. //// House Of All Souls is somewhat more psychedelic than its predecessors, and despite seven players, each with his own particular style, the songs and production are shockingly cohesive. From the breakneck pace of first tune, Tempest And Storm to the superb album closer, Born At Dawn And Dead At Sunset, there's quite a lot to unpack - it's an album-lover's album, each track magnificent in its own way and impossible for us to pick a fave from the lot of 'em. //// Plenty has been written about The Fall, whose 50th birthday is just a few years off, but rare is the group with an equally perverse and persuasive influence in that period. When HOUSE Of ALL debuted, Martin Bramah remarked on it being "part of the Fall family continuum" - a matter of actual fact, given the pedigree of its members. With this, HOUSE Of ALL's third full-length album, it's proven fact that the bright lights of those multiple talents behind the band have yet to dim." https://houseofall.bandcamp.com/  *   1:49:51 (MP3 | Pop-up)
Night Crickets  Like An Avalanche   Favoriting How It Ends (?)  Label 51 Recordings  2024  Released Oct 25, 2024... "David J (Bauhaus, Love And Rockets) and Victor DeLorenzo (Violent Femmes) may be the marquee talent behind Night Crickets, but their secret weapon is San Francisco-born multi-instrumentalist Darwin Meiners. J’s close friend and manager, Meiners initially reached out to DeLorenzo via email, finally meeting the Femmes drummer in person after a set at Coachella. Since then, a number of collaborations have ensued with J in the fold, including Night Crickets’ 2022 debut, A Free Society, and the new How It Ends (?)..." / --- Of this track, Darwin Meiners elaborates: “This track emerged from the concept of exploring the final thoughts that flood one’s mind in the moments before death. I started by compiling a list of fleeting reflections and vivid memories reported by those who’ve had near-death experiences. With this thematic foundation in mind, I also wanted to incorporate a heavier, guitar-driven piece into the album. I presented the guitar and vocal parts to the group, merging the raw intensity of the music with the poignant nature of the theme.”"  *   1:54:53 (MP3 | Pop-up)

Sparks  Do Things My Own Way   Favoriting Single  Transgressive Records  2025  Amplify the mantra. As clear a statement as it gets for Ron and Russel Mael, whose latest single as Sparks, Do Things My Own Way, continues their ever-shifting goal as artists....Some synth here, some glam rock there, Sparks continues to innovate and does so, thankfully, without reflection. There is a sense of it on Do Things My Own Way, but not the observant kind. This is not a throwback or look behind at what they have achieved but a reminder of what the duo has always stood for. This fresh form of relatability, lyrical sharpness and consistency, is a welcome reminder that nostalgia is a crutch. Vindication seeps into Do Things My Own Way, and it is thanks to the duo doing as the song title suggests we do too. Where would we be without a sense of independence?

If Dexys Midnight Runners, Queens of the Stone Age, and Brian Eno collaborated on a song about dolphins getting high on – wait for it – pufferfish secretion, it might sound like Sean Mulrooney’s new single The Pufferfish. This psychedelic dance-floor odyssey, inspired by a BBC film documenting dolphins interacting with pufferfish to seemingly experience a hallucinogenic high, features Earl Harvin from Tindersticks and My Brightest Diamond on drums. Sean and Earl, who have crafted five records together, showcase their incredible musical symbiosis in this mind bending track.  *   2:10:21 (MP3 | Pop-up)
Vanilla Franco  Learn Something   Favoriting Traction  Suli Records  2023  Suffolk-based artist Vanilla Franco delivers an ardent rock infectiousness throughout their debut album Traction. The project represents the music of Joey Quinn, who initially formed Vanilla Franco as an inside joke — going as far to accidentally book a gig. Friends were gathered to piece together a lineup, and the show went on — and was a success. Thus, Vanilla Franco was born, and with a memorable debut album in Traction. "“Learn Something” concludes the release with satiating effect. Thumping bass and concise guitar spurts conjure a nostalgic art-punk demeanor reminiscent of Wire; the steady rhythmic pulse and contagious vocal delivery put a bow on this standout album from Vanilla Franco." - Obscure Sound    2:15:08 (MP3 | Pop-up)
Matt Berry, Rosie McDermott  Sky High   Favoriting Heard Noises  Acid Jazz  2025  Lauded as a comic actor – and now cracking the States, too – his songwriting catalogue is replete with gems, ranging from day-glo psychedelic pop through to proggy folk outbursts via the odd cameo from Paul McCartney (eating some veg, natch). ‘Heard Noises’ follows the lysergic enchantment of 2021 LP ‘The Blue Elephant’, and it might well be his best solo moment to date – unified and concise, it blends fuzzy West Coast psych aspects with his devoutly (and unavoidably) English vocal style. Once again, the album is testament to Matt’s exceptional musicianship, production skills and songwriting prowess. He plays almost every instrument, including guitars, bass and a hugevariety of keyboards — acoustic and electric pianos, synthesizers, organs and Mellotron. Matt Berry is a gift to this world....  *   2:21:18 (MP3 | Pop-up)

Preoccupations  Focus   Favoriting Ill At Ease  Born Losers Records  2025  This track Feb 11. Full album Ill At Ease is out 5/9 via Born Losers Records. "Canadian post-punk favorites Preoccupations haven’t been away for too long, as their latest album, Arrangements, came out in late 2022. Regardless, they’re back: Today (February 11), the band announced their fifth album, Ill At Ease, and shared the single “Focus.” //// The band’s Matt Flegel says of the new song, “Focus…or the lack thereof. Shame and regret: waking up with it, not being able to sleep because of it, and finally falling asleep and having nightmares about it. I put myself a thousand years in the future with these same feelings. While having so many better things to be worried about, as the world falls apart, still finding it impossible to look past meaningless misgivings.” //// He also says of the album: “The well of dark things to write about seemingly has not dried up, and lyrically, it’s where I still tend to draw from. Draining all my anxieties into a song is often the only way I can get through a day. Some songs exist in a world with barren plains of burnt earth, covered in a dust of shame, dread, death, where all the things I love are things that kill me. Some come from the perspective of another distant world, looking skyward into a science fiction ocean of space, solitude, slight hope. Sometimes I’m looking around at the world that we live in now with incredulity, hilariously dissatisfied with how it’s all turned out, and assuming that it can’t be long before it’s all over. Some songs are just a reflection of me looking down at my feet while I trudge along wondering what I’m doing with myself, and if the ground is going to fall out from underneath me at any given moment.” Preoccupations - Focus (Official Video)  *   2:35:47 (MP3 | Pop-up)
Q Lazzarus  I See Your Eyes   Favoriting Goodbye Horses: The Many Lives of Q Lazzarus (Music From The Motion Picture)  Sacred Bones Records  2025  As of Feb 1, 2025, the soundtrack to the new film 'Goodbye Horses: The Many Lives of Q Lazzarus (Music From The Motion Picture)' unearths 21 unreleased tracks collected from between 1985 and 1995. Released in collaboration with Luckey's family, it is billed as "her first and only full-length release. Luckey passed away in 2022 aged 59. /////// "Diane Luckey was born on December 12, 1960, in Neptune Township, New Jersey, the youngest of seven children. While attending the Mount Pisgah Baptist Church in Neptune as a child, she sang in the Mount Pisgah Youth Choir. She graduated from Neptune High School and, inspired by a production of Bubbling Brown Sugar on Broadway, moved to New York City at age 18 to pursue a music career. She soon started working as a backup singer and jingle writer at Sigma Sound Studios. ////// In the 1980s, while making music as part of her band Q Lazzarus and the Resurrection, Lazzarus was working as a taxi driver in New York City to make a living. The band consisted of Lazzarus, songwriter William Garvey, backup singer Gloriana Galicia and Janice Bernstein. According to Galicia, by 1985, Lazzarus was working in Chelsea as a live-in housekeeper and au pair for an English businessman named Swan, and the band would record vocal harmonies on cassette at Swan's house; Lazzarus also had a number of other day jobs at the time. ////// Lazzarus was repeatedly turned away by record companies, who insisted they could not market her because of her image which featured a dreadlocks hairstyle. After picking up filmmaker Jonathan Demme in her taxi during a blizzard and asking him if he was in the music business, she played him her demo tape, to which he replied, "Oh my God, what is this and who are you?" Her song "Candle Goes Away" was then included in Demme's 1986 film Something Wild. In the late 1980s, she moved to London to form an Aerosmith-style rock band and stayed there for five years. ////// In 1988, Lazzarus's signature song, "Goodbye Horses", written and produced by Garvey, was released. That same year, the song was included in Demme's film Married to the Mob. It later became a cult hit following its inclusion in a scene from Demme's 1991 film The Silence of the Lambs featuring the film's antagonist, serial killer Buffalo Bill. She then appeared in Demme's next film, 1993's Philadelphia, in which she performed a cover of the Talking Heads song "Heaven". ////// In 1996, Q Lazzarus disappeared from the public eye. As of 2015, she had been working as a bus driver in Staten Island, and filed a lawsuit against a Hasidic bus company for not hiring female bus drivers. /////////// ++ From NYTimes, Feb 19: "By Rich Juzwiak - "For years, it was one of pop music’s most persistent mysteries: Whatever happened to Q Lazzarus? And furthermore: Who was she in the first place? ////// Most listeners who had heard of the genre-bending artist — if they’d heard of her at all — encountered her song “Goodbye Horses” in Jonathan Demme’s 1991 blockbuster “The Silence of the Lambs” as the backdrop to the scene where the serial killer Buffalo Bill applies makeup and poses strikingly nude. The creepy new wave track, with its minor-key, sci-fi synths and androgynous vocals, harmonized impeccably with the scene’s ominous visuals. ////// “Goodbye Horses” was the only single Q Lazzarus officially released on a physical format while she was alive, but it came with an incredible story: Demme had encountered the musician at her day job — as a taxi driver — and fell in love with the music she played during the ride. But after her song’s star turn in his film, Q Lazzarus’s career stalled, and by the mid-90s, she had seemingly vanished entirely. ////// Some fans and journalists made efforts to track down this enigmatic voice over the years, but the filmmaker who ended up telling her story in the new documentary “Goodbye Horses: The Many Lives of Q Lazzarus” met the artist born Diane Luckey the same way Demme did: in her cab. ////// “Getting into her car was a completely coincidental or fated, as Q and I both felt, meeting,” Eva Aridjis Fuentes, the movie’s director, said in an interview. The two sang along to Neil Young’s “Heart of Gold”; Aridjis Fuentes thought the woman behind the wheel looked familiar, and asked if she’d ever seen Q Lazzarus. They formed a friendship that resulted in Aridjis Fuentes’s film, which opens in a handful of cities including London, Los Angeles and New York next month, with a streaming release expected to follow. On Friday, the Brooklyn record label Sacred Bones will release its soundtrack — effectively the first full-length Q Lazzarus release. ////// “We’re doing this documentary to let you know what went wrong and what happened,” Luckey says in the film. “The truth” about why she disappeared: “Because I had to.” //////// “The Many Lives of Q Lazzarus” is built out of about 100 hours of footage Aridjis Fuentes shot from the fall of 2019 through the end of 2022, as well as archival material from Luckey’s would-be heyday, including nearly two dozen unreleased recordings from the approximately 10 years she made music. What the director uncovered were not just unheard songs from a stunningly versatile artist, but a story about the devastating consequences of not achieving one’s dream. //// “She was trying and trying to get her voice heard, and trying hard to get noticed, and it just never happened for her, and so it makes this release feel even more meaningful,” Caleb Braaten, the owner of Sacred Bones, said in an interview. The soundtrack shows off Luckey’s versatility, her husky voice drifting between rock, new wave, house and adult contemporary."  *   2:39:16 (MP3 | Pop-up)
The Underground Youth  One Of The Dreamers   Favoriting Décollage  Fuzz Club  2025  This song released Feb 13; full album releases April 4, 2025. "Berlin-based post-punk band The Underground Youth, led by Blackpool-born musician and author Craig Dyer, return with their twelfth studio album ‘Décollage’. Self-written, recorded and produced by Dyer, the album is an exercise in artistic deconstruction in both name and form, marking a decisive musical shift. “‘Décollage is the art of creating an image by ripping, tearing away or removing pieces of an original existing work’. My idea was to apply this technique to music”, he explains. “I built walls of static coated hip-hop drum samples, layers of Lee Hazlewood style string arrangements and Serge Gainsbourg inspired mellotron melodies, then I began tearing away at these beautiful, chaotic walls of noise, exposing a new sound for The Underground Youth.” ////// The result, Dyer says, is “a trip-hop infused soundtrack to a collection of lyrics dealing with adoration, ancestry, originality, hallucinations of revolution and a hope that something better can be born from the ashes of the horror that exists in our world.” From moments of ghostly minimalism to sweeping crescendos of noise and melody, there is a shadowy, dreamlike quality to the songs here. If its predecessor ‘Nostalgia’s Glass’ (2023) mined a more introspective nostalgia, ‘Décollage’ feels more hauntological in nature – tearing apart and re-transforming what once was in search of a future left spinning from reel-to-reel on warped and distorted old tape. ////// Alongside Dyer, The Underground Youth is comprised of drummer and visual artist Olya Dyer, guitarist Leonard Kaage (who also assisted with post-production on the record) and bassist Samira Zahidi. Initially formed as a solo project by Dyer in 2008, the band has since released 11 – now 12 – studio albums and 4 EPs, evolving a unique sound that has over the years ranged from cinematic lo-fi psychedelia and raw melancholic post-punk to gothic folk-noir. Throughout they have maintained a devoted global following continuously built upon by the band’s extensive touring through Europe, Asia and North America." https://the-underground-youth.bandcamp.com/  *   2:44:46 (MP3 | Pop-up)
Holy Wave  Time Crisis Too   Favoriting That Guy  Suicide Squeeze  2025  From a split 7" w/ Seattle’s Chastity Belt and Austin’s Holy Wave that was released in limited physical editions on February 7, 2025. //// On Feb 4, Holy Wave shared "their offering from the 7″. “Time Crisis Too” is sun soaked and beachy, offering a hit of warm psychedelia in the dead of winter. Warped synth, meticulous percussion, and bright guitar form a dense tapestry of sound; melodic vibraphone enhances the cinematic nostalgia, while the lyrics lament the too-hurried passage of time. “Time Crisis Too” was workshopped over the course of a tour, and retains an appropriately well worn sense of spontaneity. //// On the track, Holy Wave’s Ryan Fuson shares: “We immediately started working on new music after the Interloper session. It felt effortless after the album, so we wrote as much as possible. “Time Crisis Too” was one of the first ones to come out; it happened organically before we had any direction. We continued working like this until March 2020, when we started a short East Coast/Midwest tour. “Time Crisis Too” was added to that tour’s setlist, and it was going great. Sometimes, you can’t totally understand a song until you play it night after night. So that’s what we did—we played it every night until Chicago, where it ended with the pandemic. It’s hard to believe the song got shelved because I love it so much, but after that Chicago show, it did get shelved. It wasn’t until we recorded some songs in 2022 that we played it again. We still haven’t played it live since then, but maybe by the time you read this, that will have changed.”"  *   2:49:25 (MP3 | Pop-up)

The Good Brothers  Now That You're Gone   Favoriting Now That You're Gone (Single)  Countrycore  2025  "The Good Brothers Pay Tribute to Dallas Good with New Single "Now That You're Gone" //// The legendary trio's first new music since 2017 [arrived] on the three-year anniversary of the Sadies co-founder's death "These aren't things that warrant comparison, but it's hard to think of a loss in recent memory that the Canadian music scene has felt more than that of the Sadies' Dallas Good, who died nearly three years ago now in February 2022. On the... anniversary of his death, legendary trio the Good Brothers release[d] their first new music since 2017's Wide Awake Dreamin': a single paying tribute to Dallas and featuring the Sadies. //// The Canadian Country Hall of Fame-inducted group consisting of brothers Brian, Larry and Bruce Good were obviously particularly affected by Dallas's death, with Bruce being his father and Brian and Larry being his uncles, respectively. //// "After the sudden passing of my son Dallas, I hoped that expressing my feelings through music might soften the blow of such a profound loss," Bruce said in a statement. "This song became my therapy and helped diminish the everlasting pain." //// Brian added, "'Now That You're Gone' is a wonderful tribute to the memory of my late nephew Dallas. His spirit will live on in my brother Bruce's touching lyrics and haunting melody." //// The Good Brothers have been making music together for over 50 years. Despite not having released a new album since 2017, they began working with producer Graham Trude in 2023 and signed to his label. Meanwhile, the Sades released Colder Streams — the last album Dallas played on — in July 2022, and more recently joined forces with Rick White for a 2024 self-titled collaborative record."  *   2:59:44 (MP3 | Pop-up)

legally recording and releasing cover songs is easy and not that expensive. the harry fox agency handles mechanical licensing for most songwriters. the person who wants to cover the song buys a license from fox agency for x number of copies to be produced, and that's it. if you release additional copies, you need an additional license. we've licensed and released three flipper covers and a tom waits cover. easy peasy.

I read a stupid list of 'bad songs on great albums' on Rolling Stone (so kind of my own fault)...so they picked Maxwell's Silver Hammer for Abbey Road, which at first seemed a refreshing pick over the typical, lazy choice of Ringo punching bag Octopus' Garden...but why is it so odd that Paul was convinced that would be a hit?
