Spell of the Gypsies – Buckethead

26 March 2018

In a recent interview the ever elusive virtuoso guitarist Buckethead put to bed a debate that has raged amongst his fans for years. That question was why exactly does Buckethead wear a KFC bucket on his head? And why does he wear that mask over his face? When did he decide on the bucket mask combo? What motivated him? He told the Coming Alive Podcast:…

Magic Arrow – Timber Timbre

26 March 2018

 This week’s track comes from Canadian outfit Timber Timbre.

I’m going to start you off with “Magic Arrow”, from their 2009 self titled release – purely based on my path of discovery.  This track has had some exposure on soundtracks etc and figure some of you may recognise it – anyhow it’s a good place to start you on your journey.

Angry Anymore – Ani DiFranco

26 March 2018

From the Up Up Up Up Up Up Album released in 1999, Ani DiFranco looks backward, in order to look forward.  I was walking in the vast rainforest / bushland behind my house the other day, and I did that. I came to a crossroad of paths, and I knew, I had to look behind me before I went any further forward.  I wanted to see how it would look, if I decided to travel back that same way.

Cost of Fame – Milli Montanna

23 March 2018

In this song i love the instrumental as well as the message. If you love organs and deep bass this track is most definitely worth the listen. From Milli’s unique flow to his lyrical deliverance he surpasses all of what is considered to be indie or local Talent.

Facts – Milli Montanna

23 March 2018

I’m a piano lover and the opening of this song has a very well put together intro. Milli Montana Hails from Mississippi hitting the underground dripping real Hip – Hop back on the scene.

Slowly Losing It – Alex Martian

21 March 2018

The complexity to this track is truly amazing. The track is full of energy and bounce, provided by the groovy percussion and lush synths and arpeggios, which will leave you thoroughly entertained. This is topped off with some precisely chopped vocals, which only enhance the funky, soulful vibe of the track…

Comes around – Nori

21 March 2018

Listening to voices other than ours is awesome, but sometimes we gotta give ourselves a break and listen to our own minds. Meditation and silent thinking are powerful tools, but if you wanna do it with a soundtrack, then instrumental music is a must.

Loss (The Bench) – music2work2

20 March 2018

So it’s the anniversary of my Dad’s death – it’s been three years – it’s weird.  I’ve been out of sorts for days – weeks actually.  While there’s been a lot going on I’ve just not felt right – not wanting to move forward – wanting to withdraw and not be a part of anything. 

Three King Fishers – Gábor Szabó

20 March 2018

There’s many ways you can use music to help you write your essay.  Sometimes you want something that will set a conducive environment for FLOW – other times you want something that evokes a certain emotion or memory – but every now and then – like this week – you want something to give you energy and get you going.

Part 16 – Given Circumstances

20 March 2018

‘How’s the hangover, lightweight?’ Adonis appears especially perky the next morning. Seems to have put on my cassette player. Loud. The Rolling Stones. My head’s hammering and there’s a faint taste of sick and liquorice in my mouth. ‘You look like shit.’

I manage to take a shower after gulping aspirin and water. Adonis pops his head round the shower curtain. ‘I’m off. See you later. Oh, and I might need the room later, OK?’

‘I’m not sleeping with the donkeys. Turn the music down on your way out.’..

Lone Soul – Univ3rSoul

20 March 2018

This track has a raw/rugged and aggressive feel to it. Up and coming rapper  Univ3rSoul One is from North Jersey 20 minutes away from NYC. This feels like it has that East Coast, NYC flare! that most of us remember NYC For…
