Some people would probably lose their shit about mislabeling it, but this past week has had me gripped by stuff of the more shoegaze and dreampop variety. The issue starts in that vein but then slides into some weepier Americana/indie/country twang cause that stuff has been damn good this week too.
In addition to the normal digging through tunes,I found myself scrolling through the charts for the Music category on Apple Podcasts Monday night. Found some gems!
Music Person - Interview with Karly Hartzman of Wednesday Fame
Feels less like a podcast than a beautiful meandering conversation about music that you get to listen in on
CD Burners - Interview with Chris Freeman of Hot Mulligan
You already know how I much I love these guys, but delivers more of the same funny riffing that Hot Mulligan usually brings
If you love getting into the production details on how a record comes together
This weekend is the super bowl equivalent for the nerds and ultra-runners like myself with the Western States 100 on Saturday. While y’all are enjoying the tunes, I will be watching drone footage of people running (you read that right) and listening to 17 hours of commentary on it.
Happy listening.
Looking for new music? Love art? Every week I create a short, five track playlist of the songs I am feeling at the moment along with a beautiful, found postcard. It’s a spark of joy for your eyes and ears.
