Yndling - Plants


Tuff Bear - Not Very Well


Cool Heat - Bad Dream


Teenage Dads - Exit Sign


Every few days I go hunting through the latest uploads on David Dean Burkhart's channel. These ones aren't particularly hot off the presses, but are some of my favourite songs from the past few months that he introduced me to.

Oxygéne brought into the modern age. But it still sounds like the future!

Jean-Michel Jarre - Oxygéne 15

Magical!

Beach House - Over And Over

Mackie hears that you're looking for lethargic music?

Mac Demarco - Goodbye Weekend

Anyone else think this sounds like something that would have played in the first Sly Cooper game?

One of my favourite progressive pop songs. She's very unique in structure and writing.

Saya Grey - Shallow (ppl swim in shallow water)

Also mind you, very lushly produced and mixed.

Had a five minute quickie catch up with a mate this morning. I've mentioned Stewart once before here, if you dinnae know, he is a dapper homeless guy that I share a few music interests with. The first convo for a wee while...

Something new stew thought I'd like, he's really into this guy at the moment. I think these performances he showed me on that tablet will send moi down a musical rabbit hole later. Amazing stylings.

Ain't Nobody (Chaka Khan cover)


Passionflower - Original composition


I'm still amazed at how he can tap out percussive elements on the guitar body but (simultaneously) doesn't lose any of that intricate fingerpicking. You'll have to watch it for yourself. Innit grand.

Space Doves - While She Smiled

Andy Shauf - To You


Somber guitar playing and piano playing immediately set the tone, giving the listener a hint at what is to come. The character Jeremy is back, but our narrator is someone new. He asks Jeremy to find “somewhere quiet” with him, leading them to head outside. Once alone, our narrator opens himself up.

It’s just that sometimes when I’m by your side
It feels so right
It feels like nothing could go wrong

The chorus begins, “doesn’t it feel like that you?” A break in singing occurs with the introduction of clarinets slowly rising. More instruments start joining; a sense of panic can be heard as if the listener is inside the mind of the narrator. He then backtracks, stating it came out all wrong. He simply wanted to convey his friendship to Jeremy, blaming the alcohol for his bewildering confession. Jeremy laughs, allowing our narrator to act casual about it stating Jeremy should “tell the guys and laugh it up.”

As our narrator is left alone, he thinks to himself, “Why am I even surprised? That it never feels like that to you.” Honesty can be great, or it could be a travesty. Heartbroken and alone, our narrator now has an idea of the repercussions of it.

I won't be listening to this yet, I'm waiting for my cd version (sad-case No.1 here.)

Mac DeMarco - Five Easy Hot Dogs

Hope someone may enjoy it through this post.

The Carpenters are so talented by they also seem kind of deranged

Always heard a distinct Jon Anderson with Yes influence from this.

Dutch Uncles - Cadenza

Fab tune, nothing but love for this. The Chemicals did a fare few collaborations in the 90s/00s, I do find Richard Ashcroft's voice grates a little but the instrumental all interstellar is cosmic.

The Chemical Brothers - The Test


Did I pass? The acid test?
