Carlo Poddighe is a one-man-band simultaneously performing vocals, guitar, drums, and keyboard for all the legendary classic rock hits from The Beatles to Pink Floyd and David Bowie. His work is of consistent quality.

I didn't know if he was showing up on everyone's feed but I really enjoy watching him work.

Here's "A Day in the Life."

Schneider TM - "The Light 3000."

As heard on The Orb - Back to Mine 3LP set compilation from 2003.

I originally stumbled upon Schneider TM's full-length albums in the filesharing community and instantly fell in love with his unique brand of glitch pop.

Honestly, I heard this version without even being aware of The Smiths' original version, but in the end I prefer this take.

Les Paul & Mary Ford—"Mockin' Bird Hill" (1951)

My father is getting older and wanting to pare down his enormous record collection, so he gave me a couple boxes worth. I've been slowly going through them for the past few weeks. Weirdly enough, I've never really given Les Paul a good listen, so I put one of his records on. I'm digging it, especially this song!

Propellerheads Featuring Miss Shirley Bassey - History Repeating (Knee Length Mix)

[tristan_geoff]

Nesey Gallons music has been so very overlooked thru the decades, the awful news coming to light regarding her abuse by Julian Koster definitely made me more aware of her art and her as a person, but it's just so odd to me how her art was so under-appreciated having been a part of the Elephant 6 circle for so very long and it's sooo good too.  It sucks that that's what has been giving her music more attention but I'm very glad at any rate that it has, very creative, emotionally impactful, full of play and queerness and autistic joy and sorrows.

I'm now listening to the 4th release I've heard of hers, 112 Rabbit Museum Road.  This is one of my fav types of releases, the kitchen sink psychedelic play fun type of album much like OK Calculator by TV on the Radio or Drugs are Nice by Suckdog, just a collection of random experiments of the artist having fun, being with friends, recording whatever they were doing at the time.  It always feels like a unique look into what the artist's lives where like, what they were feeling at that time with whoever they were around, making music to make music and not to adhere to any recording standards, just having fun.  It feels very special to be able to hear albums like this.

Warning: this spoiler talks about abuse and manipulation

Spoiler

As far as her story goes, it has been incredibly powerful and heartbreaking to read for the past half year or so about how people in the E6 circle treated her after coming out about her grooming by Julian Koster, and tried to silence her.  It's awful to think that people act like this with each other, and think in terms of tarnishing people's legacies or not having to look at a friend different, or keeping positions of power, rather than acknowledge and heal from long term abuse.  It says volumes about that group of people, and with the except of Will Cullen Hart's music, the whole thing has really tainted how I view especially Jeff Mangum's output given his silence through decades while having known and witnessed his friend abuse a child.  It speaks to the larger concept of silencing trans and autistic people throughout society, spinning narratives that suite those who control rather than being realistic and acknowledging the truth.  We all have things we would rather hide, that we do hide.  But to further leave that from our stories only determines that the wounds never heal and that it hurts others as well.  Julian has been trying to spin that it was her abusing him, which is insane given that he was like 10 years older than her when they began to share space when she was 16.  Recently, he sent her a bag of his shit in the mail for christmas.  Highly recommend reading this story thru her instagram bc I can only do it so much justice. 
My point is, even if I can't relate to all of her story, it definitely gives me a lot of hope and clarity and compassion how she has been healing from it and learning to be more comfortable in herself as an autistic trans person.  This world is really shitty to us, and being the bigger person is so very important for our own well-being, as well as being an example for others.

Have been mentally preparing for the new Japanese Breakfast album by revisiting her old disgraphy. Like much of her early work, this song is light, airy - interesting in contrast the cooler, full-bodied (dareIsay... melancholy ) tones her most recent single possesses. Can't wait til March!

Karl Onibuje's ORUN

A nice medley of tunes on bass, although the only thing I recognized was Jaco Pastorius around the six minute mark.

[Verse 2]
Damn papa, you a rare breed, no comparing
And it's mother****in' scary
Tryna keep him 'cause I found him
Let a ho know I ain't mother****in' sharing
I could take you to the parents, then to Paris
Plan a mother****in' wedding
You the type I wanna marry (Yeah) and keep you merry
I'll put the ring on when you ready
We play our fantasies out in real life ways and
No Final Fantasy, can we end these games though?
You give me energy, make me feel lightweight (Woo)
Like the birds of a feather, baby (Woo)
We real life made for each other (Woo)
And it's hard to keep my cool
When other bitches tryna get with my dude and
When other chickens tryna get in my coop
'Cause you're a one in a million
There ain't no man like you

I fucking love that record - way ahead of its time. My uncle got me into Dr John - he used to have a vanity license plate on his car that paid tribute to him.

The best Doja Cat song I've heard - all kinds of incredible house remixes of it too.

Probably my favorite Fleetwood Mac song - Christine McVie is so underappreciated.
