Where the food sounds good, and the music is pretty tasty too.
The music of Fyfe makes mine chambered heart-cup runneth over with the burnished high emotions of amore. The track, Holding On is the perfect Hump Day song, if my drift is received and channeled with the correct overheated frequency. I blush.
The track Holding On is being released worldwide tomorrow, and I will provide updates on how you can get your mitts all over it. Peace. Continue reading “fyfe | holding on |”

“The wonderment of spontaneity and serendipitous findings are rife with both good and bad stuff, but the good stuff prevails.”
So, I’m tweeting, as I am want to do. All pliant and dextrous fingers doing what the brain bids then. Eyes taking it all in, searching fervently for a cool bit of cool to share. I am determined and in the end a very lucky “sum bitch”. Continue reading “far out magazine | childhood | rosa brook”

Mythical producer Theoish refracts London-based artist Maeve Moayedi‘s vocals into one of the most endearing songs EVER! The track Popcorn Owls comes at you like the gently lapping tongue of Lady Rainicorn. 좋은 물건. Yes, I just used a Adventure Time reference to describe a song. GENIUS!
The song was given to me like a gift from my magical muse Ms. Stavee. Thank you darlin’. Peace. Continue reading “theoish & maeve | popcorn owls”
The song Dark Side of the Moon is taken from Chris Staples’ Barsuk Records debut American Soft, available August 12, 2014.
In the end there are no casual Chris Staples fans. The man inspires devotion. The turnaround from casual listener to evangelist is nearly instantaneous. Play his music during a road trip with friends and inevitably someone will ask, “Who is this?” And a lifelong fan is born. Such is the unaffected power of these songs, of this voice. Chris Staples fandom is rewarding and lasting (despite his understated approach to promoting his own work, which — as it should be with all artists — seems secondary to the effort he puts into the making of it). We follow where he leads, and our numbers are growing. Peace. Continue reading “chris staples | dark side of the moon | american soft lp”
Mimicking Birds opens up a main vein and let’s the essence of audible offerings out. We’re thankful as Sunday parishioners for the track Bloodlines. This song is of such character it’ll manage subtle slights of hand and leaves you wanting to visit often to unravel it’s tricks. But there aren’t any charades here, the music just surrounds you in feelings seldom unleashed. The track Owl Hoots is a flourish of breath stealing vapor and I am enamored like a certain Montague sweet on a beauteous Capulet.
Check out the band’s Eon album out now via Glacial Pace Records. Currently, the band is on tour with Modest Mouse and mayhap you can catch ’em. Peace. Continue reading “mimicking birds | bloodlines”
