Brand new, but has a definite 90s dream pop vibe; I like it a lot.
Music Video
Katie Tupper – Tennessee Heat
Nice song. If I can find 21 new (to me) songs I quite like in the last three days, anyone who is saying there’s no good new music is a confirmed cracksmoker.
Cuspid – Nematode
I saw not a single nematode in the work, but I like the song and the video.
Niet Nyet
Nope. That’s the elementary school reading of Nietzsche.
Now to what ol’ Friedrich was actually getting at. He was saying that all knowledge and progress is from a perspective, and furthermore was observing that with the loss of binding religion that had pervaded all culture, we’d need to create new horizons and values, of many different kinds, all instantiated by and for humans rather than handed down from some higher power or metaphysical authority.
In other words, we must become the god we killed; Nietzsche was not saying all hope of a shared future or futures was lost, but that now we were wholly in charge of creating any of that.
As I’ve said before, the philosopher Baby Queen understands Nietzsche better than most people who read him, including Nils Gilman.
Mazzy Star – Fade Into You (LIVE)
I love how bass-heavy this version is. That bassist has such a unique style and playing method, too. I think she holds it like that because she’s small, but it’s really good no matter. Mazzy Star is one of the few bands that I listened to in the 1990s that I enjoy the same amount today, and listen to fairly often still.
Renee Christine – Turtle Island
Lord, what a voice! Loved this.
Tchotchke – Playin’ Dumb
This is great. It really nails the Phil Spector-esque “wall of sound.” It even has the appropriate key change in the last 1/4 of the song. So much fun.
The Dollheads – Burger King is Hiring
I don’t like this song for itself much, but from a nostalgic perspective I do. It reminds me of Riot Grrrl and when feminism was actually good. That’s back when we were all attempting to have fun, before identitarian BS took over and before men were treated like default rapists 100% of the time.
The song has all of two chords and is very repetitive, but in its own way it’s still fun. Though I won’t listen to it again.
Candela Gómez – es combate?
Me gusta el gato de Candela. Y la canción también, claro.
Paula Jivén – What Are You Hungry For?
I’m not certain about some of her clothing choices, but I really like the song.
No Joy – Jelly Meadow Bright feat. Fire-Toolz
Wow. This is some kind of gonzo clamorous masterpiece.
Joaquina – quise quererte (live desde la clase de ballet)
Sé que querían que ella estuviera más libre pa’ moverse, pero ese micro no me mola nada. Suena súper plano. Eso sí, buena actuación y me flipa su intensidad.
Me encanta Joaquina.
Izzy Worden – Flowers For Your Funeral
A song by a very small artist I quite enjoyed.
Bon Enfant – Ciel bleu
Trop bruyant et fun, ça rappelle grave Stereolab.
Emily Kinney – Be Good
I actually like Emily’s version better than the Waxahatchee original. Just has a little more melancholy and whimsy. And is much better-recorded and less repetitive.
And Beth! We miss you1! She was my second-favorite character on The Walking Dead. When she died I stopped watching the show for months. Emily did such a great job with her portrayal of Beth. It’s rare that an actor can play someone who is a bit naïve while also having them be realistically strong and capable. And demonstrating growth over time.
