Girl Band – “Paul”
Do people in animal costumes always make you sad for some unexplainable reason? Then maybe you should watch this video anyway, overcome your irrational sadness triggers.
On Blast: The Tucson ’60s Sound 1959-1968
Tucson is a weird place, a sanctuary for equally weird desert rats who presumably want the comforts of a city but prefer a certain level of isolation. And wouldn’t ya know it, a lot of the people who fall within that category happen to be musicians!
Landshapes – “Moongee”
i don't remember why i liked this video but it was in the queue and i needed content so i published it. there are ducks and stuff in it. whatever.
On Blast: Dara Puspita
Even though their career only lasted seven years, Dara Puspita achieved something no other Indonesian women had done before them, and I doubt there have many who did the same after them.
On Blast: Native North America
It’s really, really difficult to find collections of older music made by Native musicians that aren’t just 14 flute songs burned onto a CD by white people and sold for their profit at the Grand Canyon gift shop.
De’Lunula Exclusive — Nick Martin’s “Black Boots”
The song is pretty catchy. It features some cool flipbook animation where a chick runs over a pedestrian and also someone gets set on fire.
Wolf Eyes – “UNDERTAKERS PT.2”
someone mixed the sound of an airplane crashing into a field full of blenders filled with rocks with footage of Chilean miners being rescued from a volcano.
On Blast: African Sixties Garage, Vol. 1
I love this album so much because it pushes all those stereotypes out of the way. I mean, these guys were making hellish and wonderful and crazy and modern and bangin' rock 'n roll 50 years ago!
On Blast: Thai Pop Spectacular
If you can't get down to, "Lung Dee Kee Mao," then... I dunno. Maybe you shouldn't have bought this album just because it had cute girls on the cover.
On Blast: Maestro Ilaiyaraaja and the Electronic Pop Sound of Kollywood 1977-1983
This was the first album to convince me that not all Bollywood (in this case, Kollywood) is about campy novelty or blatant pop-music ripoffs.
Shiny Vibes Down In The Desert (a Hazy Weekend at Tucson’s Gem and Jam 2015)
It wasn't the use, rather the overuse that seemed so unappealing. Call me old fashioned but I think dancefloors were made to dance on, not unconsciously roll-around-on.
