Jill / Canadian / Writer. Musing on music from the past and present with thoughts, photos, songs, and lol-worthy things. You remind me of the babe. -
An exhibitionist synth band called Nude Order.
Once a Canadian secret, Paper Lions and their feel-good indie rock songs are steadily gaining the level of exposure they deserve. Much like how their YouTube breakout hit “Traveling” evokes The Beatles, the lead single from their second LP, My Friends, has a dash of Beach Boys to its breezy summer sound. There’s more than imitation at work here - this is a band who are capable of matching the vibrance and melodic concoctions of the greats.

When I first heard that Trent Reznor would be collaborating with Queens of the Stone Age on …Like Clockwork, I assumed the end product would be aggressive and menacing much like the album’s accompanying visuals. Instead, “Kalopsia” is a hauntingly beautiful surprise, offering a glimmer of hope in the dystopia of …Like Clockwork’s darkness.
We’re unbelievably lucky to live at a time and with such great technology that ”Space Oddity” can be covered in space. What a day brightener.
With deference to the genius of David Bowie, here’s Space Oddity, recorded on Station. A last glimpse of the World.
Huge thanks in the making of the video to the talented trio of Emm Gryner, Joe Corcoran and Andrew Tidby, plus Evan Hadfield and all at the CSA.
After years of hearing “Celebrity Skin” at hockey games and reading repetitive tabloid stories on Courtney Love, I decided I really ought to give Hole a fair chance as a band. The grunge group’s sophomore album Live Through This (1994) blew me away with Love and guitarist Eric Erlandson’s strong songwriting as well as the range of guitar work on the album. The opener “Violet” walks the middle of that line, alternating between Sonic Youth drone and Fleetwood Mac twang. Much like the rest of the album, the result is equal parts fierce and beautiful.

Is it just me or do some Pitchfork reviews read like “I had a delicious sandwich today *history of sandwiches* oh and this album is ok.”
Joan Jett by Mark Abrahams
Baby’s first vinyl. This calls for a sleeveface!
WHAT IF I SAY I’M NOT LIKE THE OTTERS
Whoa ok so this has got to the point where my real-world friends have found or been shown this joke with or without knowing that it’s me. Tumblr is colliding with reality - send help! Or Dave Grohl. Yeah, let’s stick with Dave Grohl.
Previously unreleased reworking of How to destroy angels’ “The Space in Between” by Sonoio (Alessandro Cortini). This is the version being played at the HTDA live shows.
Alessandro Cortini’s solo work sounds phenomenal whether you’re into rock or electronica. His great sense of melody and distinct synthesizer sound (think layers and distortion) definitely improve on the original HTDA song.
