Here is my latest seasonal compilation of music, Winter 2025: Something of My Own, minus two tracks I couldn't find on Spotify (Songs of Green Pheasant "Have Patience," which is 4th and Blurred City Lights "Reflector," which is 14th). Happy listening! open.spotify.com/playlist/5yEkr…

Song of the week: "purepurepure" by Her New Knife. youtube.com/watch?v=zdcv22… I liked every track in HNK's set in NY. There's a hint of Slint in the opening guitar line and a little bit of Ulrika Spacek in the song structure... And I really love the effect on the bass. her new knife

Song of the week: "Rock Candy" by Unwed Sailor. I am really enjoying the heavier, hard rock direction of the last two Unwed Sailor records. This is the first single from the forthcoming record, "Cruel Entertainment." youtube.com/watch?v=k80suw… Unwed Sailor

Song of the week: "If You Find This World Bad..." by Mogwai. For me, this is the standout track on the new album: The Bad Fire. It reminds me a bit of the track “Christmas Steps” toward the end of the band’s second record: Come On, Die Young. Mogwai youtube.com/watch?v=qEfqlJ…

Song of the week: "Let the Banks Disfigure You in Small Ways" by Cloudwarmer. This is my favorite track from the 2024 record: Nostalgia for a Future That Never Happened. Here is a fan video of the track: youtube.com/watch?v=b32CDH… Cloudwarmer

Here is my latest seasonal compilation (what I call my latest sonic diary). There is so much great music out there... I hope you make a few new discoveries and send a note to tell me which tracks you like best. archive.org/details/other-…

Song of the week: "Under Yellow Light" by To Destroy A City. One listener described the synths at the end as having “such a poetic texture.” There is an atmosphere and pacing to the instrumental portion of this song that reminds me of the band Low. youtube.com/watch?v=BVJ_Td…

Song of the week: "The Next Level" by Lake Ruth. There are a lot of great tracks on the band's new record Hawking Radiation, but this one is my favorite. Lake Ruth youtube.com/watch?v=LFancr…

Song of the week: "Rapture" by Killing Joke. This track is 13 years old, but I had not heard until a few days ago. What an amazing mixture of guitars and electronics. One listener aptly remarked: "It punches you in the guts." youtube.com/watch?v=HaC3SG… Killing Joke

Song of the week: "Like You'll Lose" by Lifeguard. This track is reminiscent of a very distinctive mid-00's sound coming out of Calgary, particularly Women's fabulous 2010 album "Public Strain." youtube.com/watch?v=_WOYjx…

Song of the week: "Headphone World" by The Balloonist. I love the summery vibe of this track and look forward to hearing the entire record: Dreamland. youtube.com/watch?v=kI4_x-… epic45

Song of the week: "The Sinner" by Curve from their final record that I didn't know existed until a couple of months ago. One listener commented: "If I was lucky enough to have a love life, this would be the go to song if said partner cheated." youtube.com/watch?v=Ke_AS9…

Song of the week: "Cé mo dhuine siúl sa hi-vis" by Tra Phaidin from the record An 424. One Bandcamp user described the band's music as "mystical Celtic folk-jazz meets classical post-rock." Have a listen a let me know if you agree. youtube.com/watch?v=Cd3fXp…

Digital copies of the last three Memory Drawings records (Deathbed Requests, A Few Scattered Hours, and The Nearest Exit) have been marked down to $4. This is a great opportunity to introduce someone to the band. As always, thanks for your support. memorydrawings.bandcamp.com/album/deathbed…

Hammock: "Wasted We Stared at the Ceiling" from 2016's Everything and Nothing. My absolute favorite track from the band because, as one listener put it: "This song was with me every time life disappoint[ed] me." youtube.com/watch?v=oP_DJJ… 🏳️hammock🏳️

Song of the week: "Unbraiding" by Loma from the band's 2024 record: How Will I Live Without a Body? It's the third song on side 1, but it sounds like an album-ender to me. youtube.com/watch?v=4b5fFV…
