hello…. I have listened to more new music this month than I have in years.
This is of course because of my switch to exclusively surfing and discovering non-algorithimicly !! I didn’t realize how much of my distaste for new music recently has been because of the seeming tie it had to social capital.
Discovering music through the writings of people who deeply care about it instead of having it shoved down your throat by ads or constant self promotion (i get it tough, do ur thing) really lightens the experience.
I’ve been revisiting this 42 minute cover of Wichita Lineman recorded by Dick Slessig Combo (members of Matmos, Acetone and Radar Brothers). It sounds unapproachable but I swear too god it is just pure easy listening. When the “drop” happens at the 7 minute mark it is sooooo….. :) .
I believe I originally found out of the recording’s existence in this book about Acetone, one of my all time favorite bands. The book is called “Hadley Lee Lightcap”
Here’s one of my fave Acetone songs <3 “Stray (Demo)”
If some patron of the arts out there wants to buy me this vinyl record ………………………………………..
no pressure tho lol I should just buy it my damn SELF………………. but wouldn’t that be crazy and wouldn’t that person be my hero? FR dont do it…. but what if y’know
Here’s a link to a playlist of a bunch of songs I have collected from reading other blogs this month. Probably should’ve been better about keeping track of where I found everything to give cred, but all the blogs I read are credited on my “Resources” tab.
I am not super strict about how I order songs on playlists, although I respect the art. I just kept them in the order I found them.
Here are some highlights:
been enjoying the shit out of this^
There is always more I’m listening to but here’s what stuck out <3 take care of yourselves out there fellas
