A friend first played them to me after discussing how great it was that Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring had a surge of popularity out of nowhere a few years before (mostly due to Siouxsie and the Banshees).
Back again to women singing, all day, every day.
I recently discovered PJ Harvey's recentishly released demo versions of the songs from Let England Shake, and they're blowing my mind.
I'm fascinated by what these demos reveal about Harvey's songwriting process; I had absolutely no idea that she'd been writing songs around looped samples, and it's nuts just how oddly this messes up one's preconceptions of the whole "singer-songwriter (non-)industrial complex".
Take "The Words That Maketh Murder". Here's the finished track, for reference:
We're already somewhat behind the curtain with the music video's little cuts to her at home (?), playing her auto-harp like a kooky prophet bleating into the wind. But then… here's the actual demo:
My jaw dropped when I heard this. We might have all thought that the finished song simply had an Eddie Cochran reference/callback in the final refrain, but hearing her auto-harp come in over an actual sample of "Summertime Blues" from the very outset in the demo is just… stunning. Your mileage might vary, but for me, the tension in that mashup is what generates the drive of the released song.
And then there's the title track. Again, the final track for reference:
And in contrast, here's the mutherf*&^ing demo, with a loop from The Four Lads' "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" taking pride of place, and chopped to a length that lets the song's odd time signature unfold:
I have no words.
in loop since morning. and tears.
There a YouTube drum tutor that I follow who surprised me with a piano and vocal cover of a classic Kate Bush song:
This times 1000. The classic Brady performance excerpted at the beginning is purest bliss to me ears and heart.
Steely Dan (for referencing) and I don’t particularly enjoy it
This kind of suggestive music from Lofoten in Norway can’t be better - love it!
Kari Bremnes - Glem Ikkje
The new MGMT album is beautiful. Had that and the new Idles record on repeat the last week.
Oh damn, I didn’t realize they released a new album. I’ll have to give that a listen tonight
Lemme know what you think. It’s becoming one of my favorites of theirs.

thesis: You want to play a theremin on stage.
antithesis: You do not want to hold a theremin in your hand.
[aufheben]
synthesis: You realize that all you need to do is attach a theremin to your costume.
(Note: The above dialectic is merely my fancy and I don’t know about actual intentions of the artist).
… and that’s saying a lot considering “Oracular Spectacular” is pretty much a perfect pop record and “Congratulations” is a total under-the-radar banger, as well … I’ll give the new one a listen, of course
An Audiobus forum member posted this video in a thread about sound design.
I don’t remembed who, but i should thank him for introducing Symbolico.
I’m listening a lot to him these days.
Their debut is actually my least favorite 😂 but I still love it. They’re my favorite band of the 2000s though so I’m pretty biased here. But yeah it’s a beautiful album. I can see it being a mainstay of my rotation for the foreseeable future.
The Smile: “Teleharmonic”
… The whole “Wall of Eyes” album is incredible…
It always blows my mind that this is from 1986:
Deadlife is one of the most interesting producer in the Synthwave scene. This perticular song apart from being pretty catchy does something pretty cool. It starts at 74 bpm and every turn around of the song it accelerate a couple BPM to reach its climax at 110 bpm. The effect is pretty cool specially at the end.
…and I got the yeyo
Mickey3D was one of my favorite band all time. After several years without news I had almost forgotten how great they are. Now they are back with another album and they are still fantastic
They were best known for this song. Hope some of you will have a listen to what they are doing cause they deserve it
That’s a harmonium. He’s playing it sideways, for no understandable reason.
Nice live set with synth and drum machine:

Saw Andre 3000 and his band tonight play his flute stuff in a cool old church in Knoxville. Was a little frustrated with it at first (it’s not jazz, it’s not really ambient, the themes aren’t worked in particularly interesting ways, there’s some undefined world music thing going on) but grew into it and enjoyed it for what it was - a couple of hours of chilling out listening to some pretty good musicians pissing around, and not try to take it too seriously.
Was looking into the instruments covered in this thread and wanted to find out what a sheng was. Wow!
I’m not sure if this will hit as close to home for some of you as it did for me. Feels weird to be 56 years old and relate to this.

As there are plenty of fans of Dmitrij Pavlov’s Pure Acid app here, I’m sure a few of you will love this
