I like making wallpapers from noise with GIMP
I like to play around with the render filters and noise filters and combine them. I usually then decompose them and work on the colors individually before recomposing and doctoring further. Until writing out my process right now, this didn't feel like real art to me, just playing. But I guess if I have a...

Dream Shake
Memoryhouse consists of Canadians Evan Abeele and Denise Nouvion. The band had a minor hit with their piano-driven live cover of My Bloody Valentine's "When You Sleep" for Yours Truly in 2011. They capitalized on their success with that cover and the well-regarded EP, The Years, by signing to indie heavyweight Sub Pop Records. When...

Dave Kendall, creator and host of MTV’s 120 Minutes, has passed away. The British-born Kendall conceived 120 Minutes after joining MTV as a producer, pitching the network a dedicated program for the punk, post-punk, goth, synth-pop, ska, and other underground sounds largely ignored by corporate rock radio. 120 Minutes debuted on March 10th, 1986, and...

Goran Kajfeš Subtropic Arkestra & Avin Omar
Goran Kajfeš Subtropic Arkestra & Avin Omar by Goran Kajfeš Subtropic Arkestra One problem with posting your listening habits on a periodically updated Now page is that those habits can literally change overnight. A couple of days ago, I updated my /now page, only to get deeply into a new Swedish jazz EP very shortly...

We Might As Well Be Strangers
The last few days have brought with them some serious nineties nostalgia. So it's fitting that Weezer released a video for their new single, "We Might As Well Be Strangers." The song represents a return to the form for the prolific but not always consistent band. Perhaps the best part of the song and the...

Jim Carol New Year
With Life in Small Spaces, the upcoming album from Black Marble, the project's creator, Chris Stewart, taps into one of my semi-obsessions. The album's description on its Bandcamp page has further details on the clue we are given with the album title. It is an invitation to accept and consciously agree to a more minimal...

Heart Still Beats
I’ve been on a post-punk x new wave kind of kick the last several days, after I learned Black Marble (who I blogged about last year) are going to be playing nearby in September. The algorithm overlords recommended Castlebeat to me after the end of a listening sesh of Black Marble's Bigger Than Life. I...

Tapes Of Yesteryear
Niko Stratis writes about the comfort of physical media and older technology. Let us suffer no worries or troubles, we have salvation in our walkmen and their analogue batteries. Never mind the truth of these eras, the 90s and the days before and after are years often cast in imperfect light as moments in time...

The Perfect Indie Pop Song
A few weeks ago, I saw Mark Robinson from Unrest/Air Miami/Flin Flon open for the Wedding Present at the Motorco Music Hall in Durham. Although the bill clearly stated that Robinson would be playing Unrest songs, imagining him doing those songs without the two other band members, Phil Krauth and Bridget Cross was challenging. Whatever...

Olly Thoughts
Olly, the developer of the Pagecord blogging software, just published a post on something I was thinking about with regards to music. I’m not buying a lot of physical media these days, but when I do, it’s usually CDs. I just went to a new record store called Hunky Dory that just opened downtown near...

You Could Do Anything
Shelly Ridenour penned an article for Qobuz on the stellar alternative albums from 1991. One observation that I found particularly poignant from having grown up during this period was around the change that Nirvana’s Nevermind brought to mainstream music with regard to gender dynamics. Within a couple of months, the album was a hit, people...

The Collection
Everyone has been posting about the Aadam Jacobs collection. Since I love indie music from the 90’s, I’m certainly going to spend some time with the massive 10,000 live recordings collection. I went to the page on the Internet Archive and one of the first recordings I saw was neo-classical band Rachel’s at Lounge Ax....

Portland Town
One of my greatest joys in 2026 has been the release of new material by British riot twee band Heavenly. I’ll admit I approached the release of this year’s brilliantly named Highway to Heavenly LP with a certain amount of skepticism. After decades of radio silence, it’s hard to know what to expect from a...

Hurts Like Hell
Charlotte Cornfield is the latest musician to put out something via Durham, NC’s Merge Records. Hurts Like Hell is also the first long player by the Canadian singer/songwriter since becoming a mother. The title track, “Hurts Like Hell,” wallows in a remembered sentimentality with the advantage of looking at difficulty in the rearview mirror. We...

If You Change
Widowspeak has a new record coming this June and produced a video for the lead single, “If You Change.” I first heard the band when they covered Dire Straits' "Romeo and Juliet," a song that never landed with me previously. Widowspeak won me over with the wistful tenderness they gave their treatment of the track. “If You Change” is also sweet and tender with a chorus that implores, “if you change, don’t change too much.” About halfway through the song, a guitar solo shreds the proceedings like J...

Hurts Like Hell is also the first long player by the Canadian singer/songwriter since becoming a mother. The title track, “Hurts Like Hell,” wallows in a remembered sentimentality with the advantage of looking at difficulty in the rearview mirror. We all know what it’s like to try to gain perspective when in the midst of a tough situation. The video immediately endeared itself to me because its protag...

Field Music We all know by now that it’s getting tougher to make a living as a musician. While tools for producing music have gotten cheaper and more accessible, the ways to make decent money as a professional in the music industry have been drying up.
