Last Saturday I got to sit and talk with an old friend Leigh Brown of Dirty Boxers fame. We talked about great pranks to pull on your friends and his new project Pixelated Projects  I am not sure what else to say enjoy 2 & 1/2 hours of me and Leigh rambling as we both do so well.

Spiedkiks Little Smartphone People Aside from another staggering attempt to mold measly words into representations of oceanic waves of sound, I must also share a bit more wonky terminology regarding the variety of liberal licenses. Considering that this column is known as Free Cultural Work, allow me to devolve and digress into the near-legalese of that phrase for a moment. …

Another great #OO show. We are joined by The Toothaches for an interview and a short live set. Which unfortunately has some audio issues  to it. We did a brief sound check earlier and and it seemed to sound good but as the songs picked up we started getting issues in the sound. I apologize for the bad quality and …

27 Aug

A new find on my list of cool labels. The album I want to present today is one I found via a tweet from the label that gave this post the name.

I need to slow down

21 Aug

Yesterday when I came home, I had dinner and was falling asleep right after finishing it. I woke up on the chair around 2.30 in the morning and went straight to bed for another 4 hours. Working with people sometimes sucks more energy than you would expect… So this morning I started really slow and listened to some piano pieces …

In between sun and rain

19 Aug

I was on my way home from work and got stopped by several rain showers. In a bus stop I was sitting down and started listening to the album that I would like to share today.  I seemed to be the only one not grumpy about the weather and I blame it on this album. Most of the songs are …

Surprise of the day

18 Aug

Everyday I try to listen to 2-3 new albums and 2 or 3 that I have listened before. I want to give every album a second chance, because quite often find myself not able to say if I like it or if I want to like it. Today’s daily post is about an album that did not need a second …
