Spiedkiks

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. …

Headaches With The Toothaches

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 …

Superstar Destroyer Records

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. The label is based in Manchester and say they are “devoted to all kinds of leftfield goodness; progressive rock, trip-hop, post-rock, electronica, shoegaze, alternative rock and everything in between.” …

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

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

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 …

Music That Makes You Jump Clouds

Another excellent #OO show. We have the wizard Cloudjumper on with us as we talk video games and music. Thanks to last nights producer Captain SaltyHash with a 10 ltc donation.

Rock the sick bones

In case you’ve been wondering I was sick the last few days, so there have been no daily posts by me. Actually I felt so sick, that I could not really listen to new tracks or work on one of my planned cc-beginners series, that I will explain next week a bit more. So I thought on my way to work …

Move The Head

I have been noticing my subscriptions on YouTube today and it appears the Spiedkiks are releasing a few videos today. I highly recommend checking the videos and the band out.
