Sound Bites Radio: September 2017

-
In an effort to spruce things up a little around here, I've made the spur-of-the-moment decision to bring in a monthly Spotify playlist. I could have gone with Google Play or Apple Music or whoever, but I figured most of us have Spotify already and those of us who don't can still get free access to it, so here it is: Two hours of music personally curated by Yours Truly, on the fly. It features a ton of new music recommendations, but also some choice older cuts that just felt right in the moment. It's also not limited by genre, because sometimes you've just got to ride that wave.

So, if you have a couple hours to kill and want to take in a diverse and amazing set of tunes, you just might enjoy the Sound Bites Radio playlist. As always, I'm open to feedback, so let me know what kind of craziness you want me to get into going forward. If you take the time to listen to my playlist, the least I can do is listen to your suggestions.

Enjoy!

    The new Oxbow album is excellent. Also a big fan of the Idles record, "Brutalism".

There's a telling lyrical passage that stuck out to me upon listening to Newfoundland-based indie stalwarts Hey Rosetta's third full-length LP. During the uplifting, depression-battling anthem Cathedral Bells , singer Tim Baker exclaims, "the road is lit and I'm going home". It comes near the tail end of the album's most thrilling section of songs, during which the seven-piece (plus additional hands on deck for extra orchestration) take a formidable musical journey through several genres and moods. After exploring the arena-sized farthest reaches of Coldplay, the worldly rhythms of Vampire Weekend and the zealous, choral flourishes of Arcade Fire among others, it's the comfort of home that drives the group down the album's (pun intended, I suppose) home stretch. Long before we get to that point, however, we're treated to some of the band's most interesting material to date. The album starts with current single Soft Offering (for the Oft Suff...

Trent Reznor, You Glorious Scheming Bastard.

As it turns out, something I said on this blog earlier this year had a little more resonance than I anticipated. From my January 15th article " What Are The Chances? ", where I gave a percentage chance for certain artists releasing a new album in 2013: 1% NINE INCH NAILS We know that Trent Reznor is gearing up to release How To Destroy Angels' debut. We also know that there's an Interscope-released Nine Inch Nails greatest hits collection being targeted for 2014, for which Reznor promises two new Nine Inch Nails songs. But, we also know Reznor likes to fuck with his fans and absolutely loved fucking with Interscope. What better way to do that than to bring out a brand new Nine Inch Nails record? What better way indeed? Surprise: A new #NIN album is finished, coming later this year on @ columbiarecords : tmblr.co/ZW-7vsm2kw_u #NIN2013 — Nine Inch Nails (@nineinchnails) May 28, 2013 Bravo, Mr. Reznor. I love it when a plan comes together. More on...
