Have you heard of #BuchiageTrance ? It's a Japanese style of club music that uses Hands Up as a basis, infusing it with the riffs and rhythmic structures of Eurobeat in order to appeal to the gyaru subculture and its associated para para dancing. Cool new set and worth checking out!! #japanese

“You might not know the Bob Dylan songs I’m performing, but they’re my personal favorites,” said last night’s ‘SNL’ host and musical guest Timothée Chalamet. The actor, who is Oscar-nominated for ‘A Complete Unknown,’ was joined by James Blake for the performances.

Well we've waited for 14 years for RYM to catch on to Hauntology and get it passed and they have this week! Great to see it officially recognized now. rateyourmusic.com/list/TheScie... #hauntology #hypnagogic

I don't normally like to go bluesky or reddit to voice my frustration but sometimes it might make you FEEL better to go to the mountain top, shout what you believe (and others do), in a place you won't be silenced for "misinformation".

Olivia Rodrigo is donating $2 MILLION from her GUTS tour ticket revenue to 10 global non-profits supporting women.

The organisations listed work to support reproductive freedom, girls’ education and to prevent gender-based violence.

Great read about the "death of disco" and the many reasons why. Also a great reply post about how #Saturdaynightfever split the disco community in two.

Here's another new genre to rym that we had boxed up in 2022 after being tipped off by aleph. rym.fm/list/TheScie... Personally the mix of #hiphouse, #electrohouse, and #dancepop briefly made pop music fun for awhile. #electrohop #electro #lmfao #davidguetta #kesha

RYM Just approved #SleazeRock for the RYM database. Our own set is from 2021. rateyourmusic.com/list/TheScie... It's Raw and lurid #GlamMetal with influences from #GlamPunk and #BluesRock and back-to-basics songwriting; emerged to counter Pop influences in Hard Rock in the mid-to-late 1980s.

I wrote a deep dive into how dream pop and shoegaze slowly entered into NZ. Plus some of the similar sounding acts (JPSE, Bailterspace) that drew from the same influences and ended up influencing our local variants. Goes right thru to Fazerdaze and Yumi Zouma:

This is the final week of my MA seminar on brit & am rock, 1950s-1980s. Fittingly, we're focusing on punk, art rock, & new wave. Reading from Grace Elizabeth Hale on Athens, GA scene; Simon Reynolds on postpunk; James Wolcott on underground; Caroline Coon on brit punk; & Stephen Holden on B-52s.
