i have said it again and i will say it before

todd would eat up lael neale’s music, he just would. i dont make the rules, i just tell you all them. anytime neil would get home he would hear the speakers blasting ‘acquainted with night’ and ‘in verona’ through the walls of the house. neil would at first not be the biggest fan of her music but over time todd would break him down and have him boogying away to ‘i am the river’ in no time (this is neils favourite song, todds is ‘faster than the medicine’ and they always listen to ‘hotline’ while lying on the setee and staring into each others eyes. AND todd would literally get on his knees and beg neil to come to her concerts with him (he has been to every single one)

was inspired by making a sad playlist and saw an anderperry post by @bproccoli

Lael Neale had a record release show over at @permanentrecordsroadhouse a few weeks ago. Here are a few photos of that show. Some of the pics were taken by @mk.marykatherine so I can’t take all of the credit here. Her new album is fantastic and available everywhere. So, go listen!

Sailors seek harbor on a lone seashore

Leaving the known for something more

I am a pilgrim too

I am a pilgrim too

I might be leaving you

Cause I am a pilgrim too

Novedades musicales: agosto 2024

No suele ser muy habitual que haya recopilación de novedades en agosto, porque en estas fechas suelo estar de vacaciones. Pero este año sigo por aquí y ya sabéis que el mundo de la música no para nunca. Así que, tan solo dos semanas después de la última recopilación, me he encontrado con que tenía 50 canciones que valía la pena recopilar. Temas nuevos de Fontaines D.C., Sunflower Bean, Porridge…

My favorite albums of 2023

When I look back at the new music that I loved in 2023, it occurs to me that after some very low lows, and some giggly enthusiastic highs, it was a very good year in my sliver of the world.  We played many of these songs during my wedding including Decisive Pinks' "Dopamine,” Chappell Roan's "Red Wine Supernova," and "I am the river" from Lael Neale's Star Eaters Delight.

I listened to Koleżanka, after seeing them live on a rooftop in Brooklyn one starry late-summer evening with my best-friend from graduate school just before she moved away New York City and returned to Quebec.  The Land is Inhospitable and So Are We was released my second night back in my childhood hometown while my grandmother sat up in a two-to-a-room hospital ward and was diagnosed with cancer. The same as her late husband, she believed something she did that caused it. I listened to the album as I walked and marveled at the frogs and deer of suburban Iowa's wildlife. 

I listened to Bug Club's Rare Birds, An Hour of Song in the weeks after the wedding feeling absolutely enthralled by the combination of poetry of the parties of guitars. It has some of the best lyrics I have heard in years, and every few days I find myself quoting it:  "I shut my beak, just once a week, to listen to the sound. Western whispers, busy feet, spare change upon the ground. The whispers lie. The feet are mine. The change is superglued. If anything I'm lonelier in this world I never knew."  It's a grim verse, but a delightful and playful album. 

& recently, as I left my job near Herald Square for the last time, and began negotiating a particularly intimidating contract, I listened to the new Mountain Goats album. I listened to it like I did when I was teenager listening to the early Mountain Goats. I was sure of their wisdom. Content to see in their songs the low lows, "You're going to make a bargain with the bad guys. You're going to make some choices you regret," and the high highs. "You may forget the whys and wheres Of an old tattoo on your forearm there But usually, you recall the day you got one And usually, it fades in the sun But not this one."
