Fell back into the Octopus Project discography after stumbling across this semi-recent (3 years ago) video of them doing an old favourite of mine, I Saw the Bright Shinies on the Moog Etherwave Theremin.
They were probably the best live show I ever saw. They were moving around the stage and exchanging instruments among one another during songs in a hypnotic dance. It was really impressive and I’ll never forget it. Also, Yvonne is probably the best and most accurate theremin player I have ever seen.
I saw them with Man or Astro-Man? and since both bands had theremins, the show ended with Dueling Theremins and the fella from MoAM set his on fire during the peak.
I’ve been listening to The Barenaked Ladies & Great Big Sea a lot the last week, with a little Endless Taverns mixed in.
Taking the buy Canadian movement to the headphones I see. I tried to look up infinite taverns and couldn’t find anything on them, got a link?
Apparently that’s because I misremembered the band name this morning lol.
Youtube link to the song that introduced me. They do electronic stuff based on DnD classes or 40k lore.
Lady Gaga and Ghost both have new singles that I’ve had on heavy rotation.
Been listening to Gaga’s new album Mayhem on repeat.
Jason Isbell released a new album, and it’s definitely a divorce album. Maybe not as many all-time greats as usual, since it’s so personal and occasionally pretty raw, but some beautiful turns of phrases and guitar work.
FJM x JI divorce collab incoming?
FJM = Father John Misty?
If so, OMG you could gaze at ALL THE NAVELS!
Don’t, don’t awaken that deep within me hnnnnng
I’ve been really into CASTLEBEAT’s album, Stereo.
Tull just release the curious ruminant and im a bit meh about it. I really like the first album of the new iteration and the second was pretty good. Am a bit worried though as its like it was really like on the first one, like on the second and sorta meh about the third. So the trajectory is starting to not look good. Some of ians stuff takes a bit for me to warm to. I was a bit meh on roots to branches and later find I liked it. So will give it some more chances and see where it ends up.
From last week, when I’m painting i can’t skip some of the songs I normally would, Stigma for example. Love it though
Lenny Lashley’s Gang of One (phew) Stigma
Vulfpeck In Real Life
Death Grips Poser Killer
Caught the Shannon/Narducy R.E.M. Fables tribute show last week, and continuing my deep dive into the genius of Mike Mills.
just been listening to the ffxiv soundtrack to get me hyped for the next patch coming soon
