Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

I do new music discovery shows, and you either like it, or you come back in 20 years to thank me. It's that simple. ALWAYS 100% ORGANIC, ALWAYS WILL BE This is where I tell you I played a track. This is where I'll tag you if it's yours. URL in the post.

Tempers - "Guidance"
@mmemaledicta.bsky.social was right. This song rocks. How am I only finding out about it now? It's at least 6 years old. Oh well, into the playlist it goes.

For anyone curious, i tag the label when i can't tag a band here, so they'll possibly get word of fans discussing their work on bluesky.
Also for anyone who's curious:
Tempers is on the label @daisrecords.bsky.social
(This is another of my fave labels & channels on YouTube)
Ah, my apologies! I love the Felte label, one of my favorite subscription channels on YouTube. Public Memory, another all time fave band of mine, is on your label.
Hey #MusicSky !
Send me #links to #songs you love, full of #wishes for a better future.
On my way in just a few hours to my big & honestly nervous-making spinal surgery.
I needz yr #prayers, love, well wishes & light today. TYVM
Hoping that this surgery helps me get out of pain & maybe walk again
Awesome!
Thanks for doing that! one of my very favorite artists of the genre. Strange Harvest, in all its wonderful iterations, is epic.
I'm very excited to have pre ordered the holographic rainbow clouds vinyl just now π₯³
Here's my very fave track by them:

Support new music: Artists aren't making anything from streaming platforms these days (payouts on even the best are less than a cent per stream), so the best thing you can do is this:
If you hear a track you love, buy & DL it!

OMG! Exciting!
A #BrandNew single from their new album hitting in April!!!
Astonishing news from one of my very favorite bands in the #Goth #PostPunk #DarkWave scene!!!

@feltelabel.bsky.social
Thank you dear! Got lotsa hope in it!
So if you're wondering:
Where's the YouTube show? When are you coming back from medical hiatus?
The answer is this:
I've got lots of medical appointments on my books for my back surgery. It may be a bit. But I'm still keeping lists & promoting music as I'm able.
Please stick with me!

Show update: now that I've announced my recent news to all my close circle peeps, i can announce:
finally qualified for a minimally invasive SI fusion surgery after 15 to 20 years of living with a badly desiccated disc in my low back that's been stealing my mobility & exacerbating my underlying MS

I deeply enjoy #jazz inspired #music of all sorts. I'm truly a product of the 90s, so #TripHop calls to me in a way that no other music can. I may not run a show for any of these genres, but I'm always building a list of the best stuff i hear. This is it!
#MusicSky
after my partner showed me what kind of sound & energy he was after. The drive energy directly correlates with the fact that Mike worked at the Corvette factory for a good many years.
Enjoy!"
I present it to all those looking for such an #ElectronicMusic mix, full of energy & beauty
#MusicSky
From the description on YT:
"Frenetic energy, like a car race. Cinematic. Full of feels, soaring female vocals, soulful male yearning vocals. Spans breakbeat to trance with wave & night drive elements in between. Made for my partner's lifelong friend Mike
I made this super excellent #ElectronicMusic playlist with 24 songs on it (which is about 2 hrs long) and had some beloved #Trance #Wave #NightDrive #Techno #FutureGarage #Breakbeat #EnergeticChillwave made of some of my fave tracks from doing #Electro #WaveMusic & #Synth shows over the years.

@jeebz.bsky.social handed me a project the other day.
He presented a high energy #PositiveTrance track his lifelong friend said he was into lately, as fuel for getting things accomplished, and asked if i might have suggestions.

Despite illness and general hardship this year, though this show never aired on the channel officially, i kept the list. It highlights 19 fantastic #SynthPop tracks published in the final months of 2025.
It's mostly pure happiness & joy, with a dash of melancholy. Enjoy!
Nothing serious about this, right?
Waiting for the moment that all Asian countries prohibit travel to & from the US due to this.
At very least-- Those open visas to places like Singapore? I believe they're about to end due to this maniac.
But i just got up enough energy & wherewithal to clean up my desk. I've got a boss new computer, I'm out to make & publish new music. It's happening. Slowly. But expect it soon.
The shows will rtn when i get myself up & running again. I've been very, very sick. Think barely able to eat without a screaming stomach & digestive system, PLUS end stage MS symptoms, like suddenly losing all mobility, weird sight problems that equal functional blindness, vicious falls.
I'm going thru all my YouTube lists that have gone unpublished & publishing the ones that are basically complete, removing anything that doesn't fit, and publishing them here & on Substack for those interested.
I do a few different genres for shows, but my lists encompass far more.
All new music.
Especially for everyone looking for a #DoomscrollingBreak in the good land of #music #MusicSky

It's been a wild season of illness, but i still keep lists of music.
This one is a list full of gentle, thoughtful, contemplative & beautiful music that i used to collect for a periodic show i did called " #Requiem&Revelry " based around #IndieFolk #WorldMusic & #Dreams
Five years ago today, Republicans launched a terrorist attack on the United States Capitol.
And half a decade later, voters have voluntarily handed them unilateral control of the government they tried to violently overthrow.
If youβre blaming Democrats, you might as well be on Trumpβs payroll.
Members of The Cure as pictured in a promo photo for the album Wish. Perry Bamonte is circled in red here, with an arrow pointing at him, and text over a grey square at the bottom to identify him.
41 years of devotion, with only a small break to pursue work with the band Love Amongst Ruin.
You will be missed.
By the band, by the fans.
π π
(Not that this part matters as much, but of the Wish era Cure members, i loved Perry's look the most.
Admirable hair & makeup! Made the teenage me swoon!)
I'm certain that your loss will be felt as keenly & sharply by the band as can be imagined of a friend & collaborator since 1984. You were merely a teenager joining as a roadie (15 if i remember correctly?!)
Quite literally, you spent your life with The Cure @thecure.com
Though quiet & reserved, i could always tell that Perry was the picture of clarity & eloquence through the many band interviews i heard over the years. When you were absent from the group, fans could hear it, & could even feel it in listening to the albums btw Bloodflowers and Songs of a Lost World.

RIP Perry.
You were my favorite member of The Cure as a teenager. Best interview responses; so bitingly witty, so well read and intelligent so full of quiet charm and confidence. A perfect compliment to Robert Smith, whose erudite words often got muffled in interviews.
