Just got back in from the Manchester Arena and Queen and Adam Lambert was cracking. There's good singers, and then there's Lambert towering above them. Natty threads,.too. Taylor and May still have it by the bucketload, too.

We saw Wet Leg at Green Man last year. They were first up at 5pk on a Thursday and smashed it. They were really good, and i second the "well worth a listen". I wil check the others out.

Radio 3 just played My Lovely Horse during a sequence of equine-related pieces.

Two absolutely gorgeous string quartets on Radio 3's lunchtime concert today. Both the Carwithen and the Brahms were new to me, and the playing was luxuriant.

BBC Sounds link for a very enjoyable hour.

This is quite a thing. The NME's singles of the year from 1975 - 2017.

A lot of work to put together, and a pleasing thing to have set to random through the work day.


I haven't looked at this thread in a long time. I'll look forward to listening to that playlist, a great idea.

Scrolling through it was a weird sort of feeling - like a music map of my life - at the top of the list was some stuff I generally recognised but was too young to really be 'into'. And then part way through became song I was quite familiar with from the radio in the car, and then it got to music I liked, music I bought, bands I was into. But then, I kept scrolling and began to realise I didn't recognise much anymore, songs I've never heard and artists I've never heard of. It's clear I started to get engaged with music in my teens and through 20s, but by 30 I'd stopped listening to much 'new' stuff and now... I'm old

And after I finished scrolling, my eyes felt that funny 'still moving' thing, like after focussing on a moving image like movie credits or guitar hero.

That being said, I finally listened to some new (ish) music recently. It seems there's a punk-y part or Australian music that's thriving.




The Chats (here's their breakout song from a few years back) absolutely kill it:



They're so fucking Aussie, raw and funny too.

Went to see Bellowhead in Oxford last night.

Absolutely amazing show, even if the New Theatre isn't really suited for that kind of stuff. Even in the stalls it was quite cramped once everyone started standing up to dance, clap, and jump.

About mid-way through they did a touching tribute to Paul Sartin, playing a recording of him singing to an almost-blacked out stage before slowly starting accompanying him as the lights faded back up. It worked really well.

Probably the first time I've sung along to Roll, Alabama, Roll in a very long time too. Great night and so glad I finally got to see them live.

I liked the first 90 seconds a lot, sounded a bit like MOON, but after the pause it felt like elements should have been added in to that beat rather than taken away. It needed like a crescendo about halfway through where all the elements are vibing for maximum tekno. Two pauses in a 4 minute song is one too many I think as well. Overall though, pretty good start.

Cheers, yeah I agree. As much a learning exercise as anything getting to grips with Ableton. Just wanted to get something finished (umpteen things I started and left) and out there. Absolutely obsessed now with it all.

Thanks very much!

I’ve been a big fan of Ballacid’s YouTube channel for some time and discovered loads of current new fave artists of mine (MOY, Cignol, James Shinra, Fasme…) and thought I’d message him about that last tune I’d made. He got back in touch straight away AND HES GOING TO FEATURE IT on his channel (57k subs) ZOMG etc

UPDATE: Ballacid did plonk my last one on his channel, got 390 views, 7 likes and 0 unlikes (so far)!

This is my favourite one yet!

Properly caught me off guard how weird and funky it was.

The racket at 3.40 about blew my fucking ear drums out though. Maybe sort that out or give a volume warning!!!

I had an idea too. Maybe you could do a rave track featuring the Majula bell thing from Dark Souls 2? Start with the slow bell of majula and then Zardoz it up a bit. I don’t think anyone has done that and people love the Majula track from DS2.

Yeah man I enjoyed that one, it was cool but Sat's right about that bit. I was using ear buds (samsung ones, 'galaxy live' I think) and at that point I felt an uncomfortable pressure in my ears, and the high bit was high innit.

Cheers! Thinking it might be a frequency thing then maybe and your earbuds are reproducing stuff in the top end thats being lost on other speakers. I listen back through headphones, monitors and in my car but I’ll make sure to add earbuds to the test environment too. :nerd:

Aiming to get at least one tune finished each month so here's January's that I've just uploaded to Soundcloud.

I've been hacking away at this since Dec, using bits from all my hardware synths (apart from the recent VL-1) and plug-ins and I've learned a lot along the way so I'm happy with that (I'm not buying anything new in celebration though this time).
