My first post! What inspired this magical, momentous occasion, you ask? ADELE. My extreme hatred for this woman’s music and, even more, for her cult following. Her relationship boo-hoo’s and “I’m large and still beautiful” persona was (and is) too much for me to handle, so I was on a mission to find another full-figured lady with a […]

Bear In Heaven: I Love You, It’s Cool
A little Leap-Year Magic! I just happen to have found another band about bears and, whooo-whee, this one sounds like a spacier Ratatat or a geared up Depeche Mode. Bear In Heaven is a Brooklyn based band and manages a rare release every once-in-a-while, the latest of which, I Love You, It’s Cool, will be released on […]
Bombay Dub Orchestra: Self Titled
While seeking out tunes on a list Architorture sent me, I came across this album that the jacket told me would be solid. Electronic ambient with eastern vocal and instrumental sampling. With 6 minute tracks, it’s a solid double disc that sometimes enchants the audible environment with a single resonating gong, or a cacophony of endless musical […]
Toro Y Moi: Freaking Out
People have been freaking out over Toro Y Moi lately. Not me, I can’t get behind a band someone discovered before me, and this particular band was trotted out daily by my avitar’s friend, and serious music aficionado, Schillfactor on Turntable.FM. I guess I could get behind Sides of Chaz, Chazwick Bundick’s side project… but […]
Question: Interludes & Interpretations
We recently had a request on the blog for music that wasn’t as mopey. So, assuming that is my fault and not Shuaiba’s, here is an artist that everyone is sure to enjoy. Question is a guy from Southern California, a self-proclamed beatsmith, who melds jazz, vocal, and orchestral melodies into tight hip-hop backing tracks. […]
Orgone Accumulators: An Aleatorial Mathematical Approach to Deciphering the Radio Broadcasts of Ancient Astronauts
All this Penguin talk reminded me of another kooky band that covered Walk Don’t Run, the Orgone Accumulators. As some of you may know, the Accumulators don’t actually make music, they mearly capture and translate alien signals being broadcast from the Sirius constellation to a “shadowy creature lurking in the depths of Loch Ness”. Consider […]
Blue Sky Black Death: Noir
By way of Colorado’s University in Pueblo, I’ve been introduced to Blue Sky Black Death. With fourteen albums and ten ‘other’ releases, these two are by no means freshmen in production. This ambient sampling pair of Seattilites, ‘Kingston’ & ‘Young God,’ transform the world around the listener into a melancholy film, or VW commercial, carrying lighthearted themes throughout […]
Mike Oldfield: Incantations
The year is 1978 and you are actively participating in the drug-induced, free-love, new age, pre-Ronald Reagan, wacky movement. Disney’s magical theme park has just opened Space Mountain (damn those drugs, it actually opened three years earlier.) and giddy, you are first in line to be shot through the stratosphere! Oh, what joy! But whats this? Rather […]
