A couple days ago I was working on an event at Disneyland. We were set up right in front of the entrance to Tomorrowland, which if you haven’t been there, is an extremely busy thoroughfare. Additionally, their holiday festivities are in full swing, which added the less-than-delightful constant loop of Christmas songs. In case you’reContinue reading “#582 – Reachin’(A New Refutation of Time and Space) by Digable Planets”

If you’re trying to attract my attention to your album, a title like this will certainly get the job done. This artist was another great Shazam discovery. I hope someday they release a full length album and I’m sure the cover art will feature nudity.

This album is by yet another artist with a deep catalog that I have never heard of before. My exploration of modern psychedelia has introduced me to some amazing material, and these guys fall into that category. It’s always exciting to discover that situation, but this one is especially interesting and is right up myContinue reading “#580 – The Weather by Pond”

This is a holiday album by an extremely interesting multi-instrumentalist. It’s hard to classify him in a specific genre, so not sure what to call it, but how can you dislike the work of someone who can whistle so well and is not afraid to use it?

These guys were a jammy addition to the 1970s New York Rock scene. I had heard of them, just because I used to spend a lot of time exploring music from that era, but never really took the time to delve into their good, but sparse catalog.

I have to refer back to the previous Shazam-based post, because that was truly the origin of this discovery as well. After the Jordan Mackampa album ended, a song by this artist came on, and the algorithmic listening experience goes on.

One of my favorite phone apps has always been Shazam. There’s nothing more frustrating than hearing a cool song and not being able to find out the title or the artist in time. It has been a consistent introducer of new artists for as long as I’ve had iPhones. This is one of those, whoseContinue reading “#576 – Foreigner by Jordan Mackampa”

I had heard the name of this group a couple of times, but really had no idea what to expect. Their blend of indie rock and country vibes makes for a fun, mellow listening experience.

A friend from work was raving to me about this album, so I had to give it a shot. I have to agree that it’s a great one. I don’t think there was ever any doubt that Billie Eilish would continue to create quality music, so this newest offering should come as no surprise.

If you’ve been following me recently, you’ll notice that I’ve been tending towards trippy, ambient soundscapes. This album falls neatly into that category. Sometimes an album comes along where the cover art perfectly represents the music contained within, and this is one of those. Does this look like an experience that you’ve had, or wouldContinue reading “#573 – Forward Escape by Tipper”
