2019 went by really fast, a blur of truth/reality and fake/reality. One might be tempted to say that 1984 is finally upon us and all the early post-modern philosophers got it right. The “simulacrum” was […]
How does this list happen? Great question! In order to come up with this list, I listen to at least the first three songs of 75 or 80 albums. Then, I filter by taste and […]
It’s nearly over folks and September is here. Escape velocity and interstellar ruminations are what I’m listening for. Get me outta here music! Music Some Became Hollow Tubes: Keep It in the Ground File Under: […]
It was a tepid month right up through the last week. Albums that I thought had promise I pitched out of my Tidal queue left and right. It felt hopeless until Black Midi finally arrived […]
I guess you could call my quest for new music an obsession. I’ve had it since I was ten and often feel transported outside of myself by certain albums. It is a never ending quest […]
An extraordinary month for new releases. I’d be more honest if I said all of these are my favorites of the month, because I’ve played each of them many times, often with Netflix on in […]
Finally winter leaves us. I did enjoy one epic day of shoveling and I stayed up late one night to watch when a storm began coming down. I like the way snow obliterates and alters […]
The in-between month with a steady bunch of tasty releases. I’m hearing all these Trout Mask Replica influences and this is a welcome development. Perhaps we’ll agree, or maybe you’ll find no sense to any […]
Lots of late December and January stuff and some from Feb. The reissues are especially noteworthy this month. I hope you discover something that moves you. Please leave comments if you like something.
Another year dissolves and we find ourselves delving deep into late November and December releases, as well as a few I just discovered. New Year’s resolutions include possibly finishing the book I’m writing, and joining […]
I would be lying if I said that the order these albums are in has nothing to do with how many dalmes I played each one. It’s a strange year in music. Take a look at […]
Music The Glands: The Glands File Under: Athens Indie rock reissues Released a couple of weeks ago this self-titled album is originally from 2000 and finds a fully-formed Athens, Georgia band that should have had […]
Music Harmony Rockets with Special Guest Peter Walker: Lachesis / Clotho / Atropos File Under: psyche, American raga Peter Walker has been playing guitar for 70 years, is a fixture in the Woodstock music scene […]
New Stuff September dissolved so quickly it feels like only last week that I turned in the last column. I’m grateful that I have this digital gig in order to concentrate my tendency to maintain […]
Hamish Kilgour: Finkelstein File Under: barn owls, pudding and other tidbits Of course I’m kidding about this album being all about various puddings. Remember The Clean? Hard to forget the Kiwi sound and even better […]
July slipped by rather quickly and here we are with a new edition of Monthly Spins for August 2018. A rather light month compared to those recently. Still, a great deal of lovely music for […]
A lot of rock this month, in various forms. I have to admit that finding new music each month has been something of a relief, given the relentless onslaught of obfuscation and horror in the news, […]
by Joe Surdna Quite a list for June. There is just so much amazing new music being made and recorded that it really makes me grateful because I can concentrate on listening instead of watching […]
I want to thank Scot for bringing me onboard after having written for Audiostream for a year and a half. I have a simple set-up with a pair of AudioQuest Nightowl headphones and Schiiit DAC […]
