PHOEBE BRIDGERS – KYOTO

Phoebe’s music is near Jack White in my humble opinion. She’s a tremendously accomplished musician, so productive, and in her mid 20’s already touches the star.

Her new album will be out soon and can’t wait to have it!!

One Song Per Dy. Episode 48

GHUM – SATURN

Outrageous tune!! Post Punk at his best!!!

One Song Per Day. Episode 47

Click on the words above and you’ll be enlighted.

THE CINEMATIC ORCHESTRA, TAWIAH – WAIT FOR NOW (MARY LATTIMORE REWORK)

Initially I wanted to bring to your attention another song, but then suddendly I received an alert on my email address that a new record full of remixes is available on Ninja Tunes from The Cinematic Orchestra.

I was lost in the new rework of the song Wait For Now with mixed feelings about the situation that we are flying over in this period. Started to think about the real meaning of life, everyday greed, the pursuit of things that in the end remain hidden in a closet, poverty, but not the real one, just pretended one. And so on…

A lovely tune, nice rework and don’t give up the hope!!

INDIECIRCLES – DANCING IN MY PUNK SHOES

Today we celebrate 10 years of marriage – me and my wife. We wanted to be in Paris, then in London, then in Vienna and we ended in the backyard of the house. Is it better or is it worse? I choose to answer wisely – my wife will read these lines soon :)) – : is it always the best when we are together. No matter where and I’m not joking. Love you honey bunny!!!

We also celebrate 10 years since we started to share music with the people all over the world. Looking back it was a fantastic decision as it kept us in touch with new music and let us to introduce to new stuff… it’s not as if we wouldn’t have watched non-stop everything that moves in the INDIEpendent music.

Therefore we decided to present you a playlist that will get us out of the dance punk shoes. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!! Happy Anniversaryyy!!!!!

TIMBER TIMBRE – CURTAINS!?

With their cavernous sound, as well as bright singing, minimal arrangements and ever-changing sounds, TIMBER TIMBRE have managed to impose their melancholy and elegant musical universe.

Just brilliant!

One Song Per Day. Episode 43

TAKAKO MINEKAWA – FANTASTIC CAT

Shibuya-kei  is a microgenre of  pop music or a general aesthetic that flourished in the mid to late 1990s. Emerging as Japanese retail music from the Shibuya district of Tokyo, artists purveyed a cut-and-paste style that was inspired by previous genres based on kitsch fusion, and artifice. Shibuya-kei inherited musical characteristics from earlier 1980s Japanese city-pop, while incorporating strong influences from 1960s culture and Western pop music.

Unlike other Japanese music scenes, Western audiences did not necessarily cross over into anime fandoms, but rather indie pop enthusiasts. This was partly because many of its bands were distributed in the United States through major indie pop like Matador and Grand Royal.Flipper’s Guitar, a duo led by Kenji Ozawa and Keygo Oyamada (Cornelius), formed the bedrock of the genre and influenced all of its groups, but the most prominent Shibuya-kei band was Pizzicato Five, who fused mainstreamJ -Pop with a mix of Jazz, Soul, and lounge influences. Shibuya-kei peaked in the late 1990s and declined after its principal players began moving into other music styles. All said by the Wikipedia!!

But if you ask me once I already had a few (+-) FAXE beer seems to be pretty fantastic!!! もしもし！

POST MALONE, SWAE LEE – SUNFLOWER

Buna! Eu sunt fiica acestui om care posteaza si chiar il iubesc, la fel ca si pe mama mea.

Am postat acest cantec pentru ca ma inspira. Pur si simplu! Arrivederci!

Bine, bine glumeam! Pentru mine acesta e cel mai inspirational, frumos si comic cantec pe care l-am ascultat. Cand il ascult ma simt relaxata si mi se pare ca nu exista nicio grija pe lume.

Sper ca si voi sa il apreciati la fel de mult!

Hi! I am the daughter of this man who posts and I really love him, just like I love my mother.

I posted this song because it inspires me. Simple as that! Arrivederci!

Okay, okay just kidding! For me this is the most inspirational, beautiful and comical song I have listened to. When I listen to it I feel relaxed and it seems to me that there is no concern in the world.

I hope you like it just as much as I do!

One Song Per Day. Episode 41

VIAGRA BOYS – LICK THE BAG

What is to be said when you’re talking about Viagra? Hey Boys?

I will let you know – bass riff, kicking the door with the front teeth, saxophone and dirt, a lot of dirt.

On the new EP – named Common Sense – they added new wave sounds to their already present abrasive post punk sound. You’ll realize by listening to “Sentinel Island” and it’s easy to understand why the vocalist is a huge fan of Roxy Music as he mentioned in an interview.

I only encourage you to listen and buy it!!!

One Per Day. Episode 40

M. WARD – CHINESE TRANSLATION

Absolutely brilliant song.

One Per Day. Episode 39.

LAS LIGAS MENORES – A 1200 KM.

Las Ligas Menores is an indie rock, post-punk band from Buenos Aires, Argentina and consists of Anabella Cartolano (voice and guitar), Pablo Kemper (voice and guitar), Micaela García (drums), Nina Carrara (keyboards and backing vocals) and Angie Cases Bocci (bass).

The band started playing at the end of 2011 and released two records on the indie label Laptra and the 2nd record was released on vinyl in Europe by the Spanish label Sonido Muchacho.

The directness and simplicity are the main characteristics of the group, but at the same time they are searching for greater complexity in the arrangements and the sound seems to be more similar to what the band is used to in their live performances.

One Per Day. Episode 38

LAS KELLIES – CLOSER

LAS KELLIES  formed in Buenos Aires in 2005, patterning their sound after the raw post-punk of ’70s all-female groups like The Slits and The Raincoats.

I believe that the new single is countinuing the line drawn by the other South-American riot girls like RIEL, LAS LIGAS MENORES, etc.

I promise that on the next episodes I will bring to you some of the girls from the Argentinian indie scene – which I found quite spectacular.

Kempes, Passarella, Ardiles, Burruchaga, Valdano, Ruggieri, Maradona??? No fucking way. We chose the Argentinian girls!!! Riot Girls!!!

One Per Day. Episode 37.

SPECTOR – I WON’T WAIT

The next song is not something innovative or unique, but songs like “I Won’t Wait” would be definitely used for commercials or dancefloor. I find it quite catchy and decided to share it with’ya!!

One Song Per Day. Episode 36

KIWI – CHARLIE’S NEW VISION (JOHNNY AUX REMIX)

Extraordinary remix!!! One of the best this year!  Johnny Aux provides an excellent druggy-sounding remix.

One Per Day. Episode 35.

YOUNGER THAN NAME – BARAVE

Friday nights always come with a groovy dance rhythm. We present you the Milanese duo of Marcello Carozzi and Francesco Mingrino who’s getting you across the 90’s rave sound. #rave #younger than me

One Per Day. Episode 34.

THE CULT – LOVE REMOVAL MACHINE

If you ask me I should say that The Cult is one of the most underrated rock bands ever. Ian Astbury’s voice doubled by the clean riffs could easily have put them on the highest rank in the genre. My wife – as an younger goth music fan at that time – told me their success was stopped by the appearance of Axl Rose and Guns’N’Roses. Could you agree??

One Per Day. Episode 33.

IAMX – I SALUTE CHRISTOPHER

The next song is about Christopher Hitchens, an English-American author, columnist, essayist, orator, journalist, and social critic. 

As an anti-theist, he regarded all religions as false, harmful, and authoritarian. He argued in favour of free expression and scientific discovery, and for him that it was superior to religion as an ethical code of conduct for human civilization. He also advocated for the separation of church and state. The dictum “What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence” has become known as Hitechen’s razor – according with Wikipedia. Totally agreed!!

The acoustic version of the song overwhelms by far the original song. I keep listening to this version for hours and I keep thinking to myself: amazing version!!! Superbly executed!!

One Per Day. Episode 32.

IAMX – THE BACKGROUND NOISE – ACOUSTIC

I saw them live, I was one of their biggest fans in my late 30’s and also have a picture with them but then lost the contact in my 40’s and now… I don’t know. I tried to reconnect with them for the love of the 00’s and this for me should be a remembrance.. I’m still alive and so they are. #IAMX #ECHOECHO

GALAXY OF SONGS COVERED – MY FAVOURITE TUNES COVERED.

THE CHARLATANS – THEN

One Per Day. Episode 29.

COUNT FIVE – PSYCHOTIC REACTION

I discovered the garage rock in the 90’s when a certain radio station from Bucharest had a weekly radio show where they played some garage rock songs from the 60’s. Since then I started to love the genre – with naïve, or intentionally raw sound and occasionally stupid lyrics. Today I will let you know one of my favourite songs

RVG – I USED TO LOVE YOU

RVG is Romy Vager, Reuben Bloxham and Marc Nolte. The new record is out 24th April 2020 on Fire Records and Our Golden Friend. Nice blend of indie rock with reminescents of The Cure and The Smiths. From Australia with love!

One Per Day. Episode 27.

PORRIDGE RADIO – EUGH

That kind of song from the DIY scene that literally doesn’t let you sleep. It is 03:00 am in the morning when I write these lines and the music flows soothingly from the earphones for the 16th time. Keep in mind the record – Rice, Pasta & Other Fillers. Trully exceptional!

One Song Per Day. Episode 26.

ULTRA VIVID SCENE – MERCY SEAT

Feedbacking guitars mixed with fuzzy noise and spiced with slightly fey vocals. A nice blend of Jesus And Mary Chain, The Velvet Underground and 60’s psychedelia in the late 80’s.

One Per Day. Episode 25

MOANING – FALL IN LOVE

absolutely felt in love with the next song. then will I lose you all?

If we fall in love I’ll lose you
I can’t stand to ever see you leave

One Per Day. Episode 24.

MAN OF MOON – RUST

One of my favourite bands from Scotland . I discovered them years a go – in 2015 – and I’m so thrilled to have their debut single – The Road – on my vinyl collection. Strictly recommended on these brutal days!!!

From Australia with LOVE!!!

“I was actually born in South Africa and then moved to Dubbo when I was three-years-old with my family. I’ve been moving around New South Wales ever since” – taken from i-D

One Song Per Day. Episode 19

Faux Real – Second Sweat

They’re called Faux Real and are composed of the two franco-american brothers Virgile and Elliott Arndt. If you like AIH, Hot Chip, Metronomy I think that you’re on the right path to so called “avant-garde indie pop music”. Pretentious, but nevermind….

One Song Per Day. Episode 18

SPIKE FCUK – BODY BY CRYSTAL

“Spike Fcuk is inspired primarly by love and obsession, addiction, sexual disorientation, Catholic guilt and washed up 60’s musicians who make overproduced comeback albums a decade later crying out for redemption and maybe even just little bit of limelight back” – Spike about her.

From Australia with love!

One Song Per Day. Episode 17

CAR SEAT HEADREST – CAN’T COOL ME DOWN

Will Toledo is a genius. That’s all!! Toledo has gone from an empty five-seater to selling out tours and filling festival main stages. That’s all again!! One of my all time fave artist.

ANDREW WEATHERALL

THE SABRES OF PARADISE – SMOKEBELCH II (Beatless mix)

On 17 February 2020, Andrew Weatherall died due to pulmonary embolism. I really felt like a member of my family died. One of my earliest heroes. Rest In Peace, dear.

“He possessed a scalpel-sharp sense of the absurd that enabled him to maintain a wry scepticism about his own abilities. “I never meant this to be a career,” he said in 2012. “It was just a job that paid for new clothes and records.” – taken from The Guardian obituary, sort of.

One / Day. Day Four.

INCUBUS – OUR LOVE

Incubus, demon in male form that seeks to have sexual intercourse with sleeping women; the corresponding spirit in female form is called a succubus. In medieval  Europe, union with an incubus was supposed by some to result in the birth of witches, demons, and deformed human offspring – according with Enciclopaedia Britannica
