Listen: Lali Puna – “Come On Home” [2001]

Posted on March 21, 2022 by Very Warm

My partner likes to make fun of me because I often romanticize the late 90s / early 00s in terms of a culture standpoint. Obviously every era has its problems, and I realize that this little slice is by and … Continue reading →

Posted on March 15, 2022 by Very Warm

Only five albums this month. Sure there was loads more music, high profile stuff at that, but nothing grabbed me the way these next five albums did. I listened to a few other things that were pretty good, like Sally … Continue reading →

Listen: Tess Roby – “Up 2 Me” [2022]

Listen: Harald Grosskopf – “Synthesist” [1980]

Posted on March 11, 2022 by Very Warm

Another find from my 1980s plundering – the fantastic Synthesist from Harald Grosskopf! I had seen this record once before, albeit in a different state. In 2011 or so, RVNG put together a winning team including CFCF, Stellar Om Source and Oneohtrix … Continue reading →
