I write about music. Covering sonic treats since 2004. Excellent taste. O, and I run a rather good website about John Cale. https://herecomestheflood.com/ https://fearisamansbestfriend.nl/ https://linktr.ee/hctf #music #reviews #tourdates #videos
Noise rock quartet BLKE came up in the London underground, before relocating to Berlin, so it is no wonder that they came up with an amalgam of shoegaze a la the Jesus and Mary Chain and early 70s Krautrock.

The Fake Friends made a video for Hyperconnection, a track from their latest album Let's Not Overthink This. The Montreal based dance punk rockers are all over the place on that album.

He tries to get a grip on the weirdness of time, which seems to be shifting a bit, throwing him off course as he reaches out his hand to a helper who might be real or not.

It is a concept as old as the hills - resorting to a bit of magic or more accurately voodoo - trying to ensure that a one-sided crush is turned into a mutual love affair.

The Phil Manzanera Words & Music event I was privileged to be a part of at The Great American Music Hall in SF 2 weeks ago wasn't meant to be captured for history, but it was!
A crowdsourced video of the complete interview & performance is now on YouTube.

So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was “your piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.
Dreampop multi-instrumentalist Blase will be playing at The Sandspur in Carolina Beach, NC on March 7 (2-5). Expect lots of songs from his latest album Somewhere Out There.

since the subect matter of lyrics is being grateful for what they got - taking a walk by the riverside, enjoy the flight of couple of birds - it is the perfect soundtrack for a glorious Spring day.

Morrissey’s Fridge Morrissey was filled with sudden self-doubt, as he shut his fridge door – did the light never go out? Brian Bilston
Here’s a short poem called ‘Morrissey’s Fridge’.
Seattle based garage-rockers The Darts go all out with late night songs about zombies, ghosts, sex (and sex with ghosts), politics and what-have-you on their new album.

Dark pop meets the Sisters of Mercy in a heavily orchestrated track with a howling guitar as the icing on the cake. They are a band who never write the same song twice, cherrypicking from any genre that tickles their fancy.

Pink Floyd's legendary performance at the Roman Amphitheatre in Pompeii came out in a wealth of formats last year, but not in 4K. A new Blu-ray version rectifies that omission and each frame was fixed by hand after the film was scanned.

More layers reveal themselves after each play, plus the sonics and separation were utmost care. (...) Wandering around in silent wonder is the best way to get a hold on these compositions, that deserve to be enjoyed in one, undisturbed sitting.

Sounding chipper and upbeat, but also taking a scalpel to everything that bothers them or really pisses them off, shows that they haven't slowed down a bit or have mellowed with age.
