What is some music you like?

This is peak ’69 counterculture. You can hear it - that raw, untamed sense of radical freedom in Neil Young’s guitar riffs. Not technical perfection. Just pure, emotional release. The feeling that rules could be broken - musically, socially, spiritually.

This was a special fucking era. Not just for music, but for culture. A moment when it really felt like something new was possible. Some people think it was naïve. Maybe. But I’m not ready to concede to the late-capitalist cynicism we’ve inherited. That spark - it’s perennial. Still out there. Still possible.


“Did you ever say Yes to a single joy? O my friends, then you said Yes to all woe as well. All things are chained and entwined together, all things are in love; if ever you wanted one moment twice, if ever you said: ‘You please me, happiness! Abide, moment!’ then you wanted everything to return!” - Friedrich Nietzsche

How is this even a trip-hop mix without Portishead and Ray of Light-era Madonna? Like, seriously? :P

Ugh, very disappointing - another half-baked record (as Flume’s releases tend to be). Seriously, who’s going to listen to this if it’s just silly skits and unfinished ideas? Plus, it seems like Flume’s production hasn’t really evolved during his three-year absence.

And this comes from someone who grew up on Lorde and Flume as these oceanic aesthetic ideals. But yeah... Flume always chokes on big releases.

Anyway, the new Model/Actriz album is a very pleasant surprise.

I’ve always been intrigued by them - their mix of post-punk, noise rock, industrial, and dance-punk is right up my alley - but their last album felt a bit lacking in execution, even if the aesthetics were appealing.

This new one, though, cuts much deeper both in songwriting and production.

It’s unapologetically gay, which naturally creates a bit of distance for me since it’s not a world I’m used to. But in many ways, that only makes me appreciate it more as the singular artistic statement it is.

I’m getting big Nine Inch Nails vibes, mixed with Berlin kink scene and Gaspar Noé arthouse-porn energy.

Definitely one of the most intriguing albums I’ve heard this year.

There’s just something magical about New York bands that carry a distinctly European aesthetic sensibility.

Almost all my favorites fall into that category: Velvet Underground, Patti Smith, Sonic Youth, Suicide, Talking Heads, etc.

That blend of raw American Prometheanism with European art-school cool, intellectualism, and a touch of decadence always produces something special.
