This just got released the other day, "I'll hum the first few Bars" by Pōneke musician David Long.

I was lucky enough to be asked to add drum kit to this 'classical' piece. You'll spot it

It's a fantastic video by artist David Downes

Loving this ! Very slow, low & quiet.

Sosena Gebre Eyesus singing Ethiopian orthodox hymns... restive and soothing.

And sometimes music in a language unfamiliar to me is simple the best balm for a day.

Released on the wonderfulLittle Axe Records

1 country under a cyclone, the future is here & it's easy to feel bleak.

I found this today and it helped - I know nothing of the label or muso, a fascinating listen.

"...applying the voltage of mushroom communication to synthesizers, the mushrooms "communicate" through electricity and sound - creating...dynamic..oddly soothing pieces of music"

This work lends strongly on the work of #DonnaHaraway, - #StayingWithTheTrouble

There SO much I love about The Residents, so many albums and amassing concepts, the imagining and reimagining of ideas ... but this album Loss of the Lizard Lady, is up there with my favorites.

What makes this so good? It focuses on the unique contribution of the singer Molly Harvey!!

Live performances and amazing renditions!

Molly really brought something The Residents lacked!! Amazing to think huh

Yesterday, the group Young Fathers, from Scotland, released their new album Heavy Heavy.

Their last full album Cocoa Sugar is fantastic, so I have high anticipation for this one.

Heavy Heavy has the best album art, such a strong and evocative image to draw one in. Plenty for the imagination but also plenty of room for guessing...

Been meaning to get this here, then haven't, then again, then haven't... then again...

Cowman - Wichita Black Sun from the album Slaughter.. the whole albums great, it's like a Flying Saucers Attack via the Touch & Go label stable.. crisp, murky, intelligible, pummeling, groovy and a lot of fun

Improv - Trio - Mazen Kerbaj - trumpet, Raed Yassin- dbl Bass & Sharif Sehnaoui - Gat

I know a little of Yassin [long time collaborator with Kerbaj] & nil of Sehnaoui.

I became aware of Kerbaj in 2006 as he documented his life online in Beirut during the bombing from Israeli defence forces during the 33 day war.

The 1st piece of music I'd heard of Kerbaj was a trumpet duet w/ IDF fighter plane &bombs.

"What poor gods we make"... I Don't Know by the anthemic Naked Raygun of Chicago.

This is a great version, live & faster than the studio album Throb Throb.

I discovered most of their music by dubbed tapes at the time, versions of versions duplicated & passed around.
Understand? was the first album I got on vinyl, w/cover art by Simon Bisely, if i recall correctly, who was a contributor to the UK comic 2000AD.

The lovely & local Cookie Brooklyn & the Crumbs with an ode to the dear old damp Auckland Airport

"It was a rough and stormy day..."

A lazily drawled shuffle with something akin to that vacant thousand yard stare after a 90 hours on a plane ... you know what I mean

Wind and Rains are Cold, a cherry little upbeat, offbeat tune from those UK legends #Cardiacs while most of us on this fish are sitting safely and dry, I hope, as this storm passes

Years ago I brought a 7" from the local anarchist book shop - a little known group called Recusant on onside & on the flip another obscure & never heard of again punk act called #Headache.

Till today- I discovered this skronky punk band from Bradford, UK, had a FULL LENGTH ALBUM, and a decently recorded live cassette from Slovenia!

Punk again in exciting directions, then it stopped, it was so good!
