NEW post: "The East River Pipe sound – a dreamy synth wash in the background, a gentle jangle of guitar, simple yet cinematic sounding beat - and the lost souls and troubled characters that inhabit his songs"

#1. Daydreaming

Their most beautiful song. Sad, but with sinister undertones, the orchestral elements matching perfectly with Thom’s delivery, the twinkly bits and the heavy bass notes…all enhanced by PTA’s video.

One night some years ago I went down a Vulfpeck wormhole after discovering them track after track. This reminds me how amazing Joe Dart is on bass. Wow.

This was where I started….

The initial excitement/interest when you realise a work colleague is also a music fan…

…then they talk about Limp Bizkit…

Day 26. A song that starts with Z

Zebulon, by Rufus Wainwright

Always love the way the chorus bursts in those two times and the great lyrics: (e.g. “I believe in freedom…” and “…your nose was always too big for your face…”, etc)

Wrong Notes, by Grand Drive

They did some utterly gorgeous things - like this and it’s b-side, Falling Out.

“Wrong notes….can still ring true…can still pull you through…darkest days.”

Velvety (instrumental Version), by Pixies

Despite Charles subsequently releasing a version with lyrics, this prior release remains the best. A typical Pixies riff, in seesawing stop/start mode.

My favourite song of hers - it’s extraordinary on record, but I love some of the live versions on YT like this kinda pied piper one…
