Knock knock -smog

so nineties... classic imo for alternative and indie music lovers. very moody. more casually listenable than smogs earlier albums but before he transitioned away from the alias smog and fully realized the folksy style that would define Bill Callahan.

Smog - White Ribbon

This is a song off the compilation album “Accumulation, None” from Smog/Bill Callahan, covering the early part of his career. It’s an otherwise unreleased song. It’s one of those songs that stops me in my tracks, the strange lyrics, the whining guitars, the minimal drum keeping just a slight groove, it all feels sort of empty and cloudy in the best way. I’d recommend more broadly digging into the early Smog albums.

the rotation

Here are my fav records that I have been listening to lately, this lineup strikes me as very "pi.fyi-core". Hope you enjoy :) (in order of appearance) -Thinking Fellers Union Local 282: Lovelyville <discovered this reading some Robert Schneider interviews after seeing the Apples in Stereo play for the W.C. Hart memorial show in Athens> -DJO: The Crux <That guy from Stranger Things has a set of pipes, great happy album> Panda Bear: Sinister Gift <sounds like The Beach Boys! the parts that don't are kinda atmospheric and very very pretty> Bon Iver: SABLE, fABLE <he strikes again. very stripped back but absolutely gorgeous. Justin literally can not make a song that isnt somehow lush and cold at the same, like being covered in a sheet of ice that keeps you warm. He has this interview where he talks about the work and thought process behind it. Very cool!> Black Country, New Road: Forever Howlong <this album features almost entirely female vocals, a nice change since Issac Wood left the band, and the vocals, piano, and woodwind instumetaion are just absolutely gorgeous, sounds like rain smells. Cameron Winter: Heavy Metal <since half of this app is from Brooklyn, I'm sure you know this guy! He sings for the band Geese, but this record doesn't sound much like Geese at all. It has some of the craziest lyrics.I have heard in a hot minute, and is adorned by ~usually~ sparse and skeletal instruments, as well as Camerons odd yet alluring voice. Hope you enjoy! lmk what you think of these records :)

The internet as a place you could visit and leave at will

Going online used to be an activity you sat down to and then could get up and walk away from. Now it’s some kind of panopticon that we’re connected to almost 24/7 that requires our constant availability and can demand our attention whenever it wants. We weren’t meant to be this online!!!!
