Supercar: Last Scene

One listen, and this one was another that was both difficult and easy. I felt some conflict about what I was writing, as though I felt on the right track and then felt I wasn’t and had to course correct. … Continue reading

Supercar: Siren

One listen. I queued this up in… January? Possible January, maybe February, though it doesn’t matter. I was listening to Supercar for the first time and some of what I heard I liked, and a lot I was indifferent toward. … Continue reading

Conifer: Crown Fire

One listen. I have no idea as to how representative of the song some of this is. I hope it’s representative, but I don’t know. It would mean looking further into the song and, at least right now, I don’t … Continue reading

Grün: The Hunt

One listen. I spun this song for the first time in ages last week. Actually, maybe there was a spinning of it a few weeks back, but I can’t remember. Anyway, I was listening to it last week and enjoying … Continue reading

Jon Batiste, Chad Smith & Bill Laswell: The Drift

Jon Batiste, Chad Smith & Bill Laswell: Spiral

One listen. This one threw me off a bit and I got stuck on what was happening with the beat, but never really getting into describing it. I think that harmed the writing overall. Jon Batiste, Chad Smith & Bill … Continue reading

Jon Batiste, Chad Smith & Bill Laswell: Black Arc

One listen. This was easy to start. Great. I started slowing down. Not great. Spent a good bit of time trying to catch up, but I wasn’t actively thinking too much, so I’m not too fussed. A bit of imagery … Continue reading

Jon Batiste, Chad Smith & Bill Laswell: B2

One listen. I’m now working to clear as much of these songs I’ve queued to write about as I can. Could probably get it all done in a few days, if not one day, but I also value my getting … Continue reading

Hitoshi Sakimoto: Near the Water

One listen. I went in once more thinking about where this song is used. I realise I could’ve said something a bit different which would’ve been more fitting, but the below is what I went for and it does work … Continue reading
