So I've been a listening to a lot of FAWM songs lately and this one stood out to me the most! http://fawm.org/songs/75538/

It reminded me of 1st movement era pillows! It made me even a bit emotional to made me feel like I'm actually listening to an unreleased pillows song from the 1st movement era!

There were a number of songs that played on the radio, and I thought they were all pretty cool. So I googled lyrics I heard, and discovered HAIM. Then I found out the other songs I liked were also HAIM. Now I love HAIM.

Been listening to Tatsuro Yamashita's For You album....so damn good.
Here's a couple songs:

Love Talkin' (honey it's you) = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3sU6DMzG1I

^^ great to see the tatsuro yamashita love. Where would Future Funk be as a genre, if not for Japanese easy listening funk-pop from the 80s?

He's pretty good man. I have been diligently convincing my good friend to listen to the pillows (and other japanese bands). Long story short, he did some research on Japanese music and found something more his genre liking. Glad he shared this with me!

Upbeat, poppy arrangements on really positive songs, using a really cool instrumentation (violin, cello, acoustic guitar/ukelele, accordian and simple percussion)? Sign me right on up yo.

"Meet me where it all began, let's write stories that will never end." hngh, them's good lyrics. They absolutely kill it at live performance, too - seen them playing twice and the first time I ended up immediately buying a CD. They're not yet consistently where I'd like them to be in terms of their production and layering, but I feel like there's something really great going on here and they'll probably become absolutely incredible in the future.

Been listening to this, like, Jazz EDM group called KNOWER. They're pretty good and also pretty ridiculous:

THE GOV'T KNOWS (slightly NSFW): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zH9Zca1vRM

They're a pretty talented duo; the drummer, Louis Cole, also does some really cool jazz/funk stuff with the same aesthetic of ridiculously overdone bravado:

Mean It: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly3EJbzRPjc
Bank Account: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAH4zGd_W1s
Weird Part of the Night: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glgPZmSwC4M

It's kind of cool that these folks are interesting, quirky artists who are also just really talented musicians too.

I feel like this needed to exist.


I gave in and finally clicked on the lo-fi hip hop beat stream that Youtube kept recommending to me. It's too good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrbrQhpvn8E
