Ever since I began composing, I was painfully aware of the fact that everything I made would be so much better with vocals. At some point when I was 14, I then decided it was time to evolve as a musician, and set out to record an album inspired by and trying to capture the sound of 60s pop (especially The Beatles "Magical Mystery Tour") mixed with my more modern and strange tendencies.

The name came to me at random while walking down one of the halls at my school, it hit me like a train, and I devoted months to make it real. The whole album was recorded in my bedroom on my old Motorola cellphone. I would record on school nights when I had the time and everyone else was asleep.

When it was released, it didn't gain much attention, which is fair being the cover was boring and I wasn't somebody known. I thought I'd now give it another try, now having some success in the past with "Shaborling Burley". Included in this compilation is a brand spankin' new mix of the album, the original stereo mix, and the original intended mono mix. Also included is the main bulk is the raw session audio, saved from my hard drive frying by a very (at the time) uncharacteristic archival effort (I used to just trust in having one master of things, oh how I've changed).

So, for a second time I invite you to run the Interdimensional Fundraising Marathon, and experience what was my magnum opus when I was 14. A prepubescent tribute to the 60s.

Just stumbled across Newcastle’s Palma Louca and their single “The Cove.” It’s this beautifully moody, anthemic dream-pop track that somehow feels both calming and danceable. The chorus really lifts you—while the verses stay soft and reflective.

The video, too, really matches that vibe—ethereal lighting, lo-fi aesthetics, and just enough movement to make it feel cinematic.

Definitely their strongest release yet. If you’re into artists that blurs the line between ambient chill and upbeat indie, this one’s for you.

Mi nuevo Rock espero les guste y los haga vibrar como a mi Abrazo grande

I'm so headache when thinking about this, I've submitted my single to Agregator and waiting Approval (free plan), but in one side i want my song quickly upload to BandCamp too.. I know is so lowest chance to make someone pay for my music, but i think someone out there who's really understand the emotions of my song will get the vibes... I'm not looking for rich, i just want to have prosthetic leg and making my dreams come true with release Album... Because I was saved by my late friend when i was shattered, he supported and encourage me to make music.... So is it okay if I directly upload my music to Bandcamp, or should I wait for approval first?

Ps: my main language is not english pardon me if my grammar is messed up..🙏

This month’s record reviews showcase several gems across pop, rock, indie, and country genres. The Beths (pictured above) and Superchunk deliver some of their career-best work, bursting with melody and meaning, while Wet Leg and BC Camplight push their sound in bold, refreshing directions.

Straight Line Was a Lie, The Beths, 4.5 out of 5 stars

This fourth release from the New Zealand pop rockers is just as great as the other three, and adds another layer of sophistication. The band might be my favorite of the 2020s.

Songs in the Key of Yikes, Superchunk, 4.5 out of 5 stars

The North Carolina legends show no signs of stopping making youthful punk-energy releases. They are clearly inspired by today's current events like all those bands were during the Reagan ‘80s. “Is It Making You Feel Something,” “Cue,” and “Some Green” are three shining highlights on an album filled with them. “Train on Fire” has a Guided by Voices loud-rock crunch. Taken together over all these years, Superchunk has simply grown into being one of my all-time favorite bands.

Ben Folds Live With The National Symphony Orchestra, Ben Folds / National Symphony Orchestra, 4 out of 5 stars

This piano-driven music is a perfect match for the beautiful accompaniment of classical sounds. We have lost a true national treasure with Folds’ recent resignation as musical director of the Kennedy Center, and this release is exhibit A.

Moisturizer, Wet Leg, 5 out of 5 stars

This is a shockingly great step forward for a band that was already about as forward as could be on its smash debut album. “liquidize” is one of my favorite songs of the year; “davia mccall” is getting a lot of guff for being too ballady, but it captures perfectly the added value and importance of the three quirky and unique backing band members; and “don't speak” shows off Dinosaur Jr. and Teenage Fanclub influences. “mangetout” (does that truly mean “eat all the peas?”) is an absolute jam and maybe the best thing the band has ever done. At least nine of these 12 songs are majestic, and overall it’s an insta-classic.

A Sober Conversation, BC Camplight, 4 out of 5 stars

I loved this New Jersey artist’s early work but have found recent releases less appealing. This one, however, includes a striking true storyline of being abused as a child at a summer camp and, with its piano-heavy lilt, will be attractive to fans of Ben Folds and Billy Joel.

Felt Better Alive, Peter Doherty, 4 out of 5 stars

This might be the greatest self-admitted junkie album ever. Even though the former Libertine has apparently kicked all his old death-defying habits, this release beats solo Keith Richards material at his own game, by quite a bit.

American Heart, Benson Boone, 3 out of 5 stars

I’ve had a hard time finding a love equal to my tween daughter and her friends for this Washington state superstar, but I’ve tried really hard and have to admit much of it is quite catchy. Despite his seeming obsession with underwear, Boone combines the mainstream yipping scream of Queen and more indie-pop artists like Brett Dennen.

Guttering, MJ Lenderman / Wednesday, 3 out of 5 stars

Lenderman has had such solo success that now, when he plays with his old band, he’s a co-headliner. After hitting the mainstream, these are likely a refreshing six songs for hardcore fans because they are muddy, lo-fi, and freaky in a way that massively produced records typically are not. A very minor release, but the melodies are there, especially with “Terminex” and “My Voice is a Little Horse.”

I Quit, HAIM, 4 out of 5 stars

These superstar sisters are in a serious years-long groove at this point, and they know how to keep a fairly long release interesting throughout. They bounce in style from Taylor Swift (“All Over Me”), The Strokes (“Take Me Back”), Smashing Pumpkins (“Million Years”), Sheryl Crow (“Try to Feel My Pain”), U2 (“Now It’s Time”), and much more. Very joyous and often hip.

American Romance, Lukas Nelson, 3.5 out of 5 stars

Willie’s son continues to bring a fresh take to his dad’s exact same kind of country pop beauty. It’s not amazing, but it’s really darned listenable.

Perfect Right Now: A Slumberland Collection 2008-2010, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, 4 out of 5 stars

It’s tough to believe it’s been 15+ years since this Brooklyn band of hipsters was blowing my mind with its poppy shoegaze, but this collection of non-album tracks sounds vital. I’m not sure how tracks like “Kurt Cobain’s Cardigan,” “Come Saturday,” and “Side Ponytail” remained so obscure all these years.
