[Podcast] PMB158: Outer Realms
PMB158: Outer Realms by Project Moonbase on Mixcloud
Mixcloud, by itself, is proving to be a wonderful tool with little treasures worth sharing. One of my favorite recent podcasts comes from the United Kingdom is Project Moonbase, where DJ Bongoboy and MC Zirconium play some of the corniest, cheesiest and charming lounge, sci-fi, exotica and other sundry novelties.

[Article] Islam and Bebop Jazz
I grew up as a fan of bebop as a wonderful expression of jazz, and had a healthy respect of the musical abilities of Yusuf Lateef, who recently expired at the age of 93.
The connection between bebop and some forms of Islam seems paradoxical to me, however. Political analyst Daniel Pipes writes on the curious tie between these two camps at his blog.
[Video] Naturalist vs Che-Mariskos – Detoxicator Che
Russia-based musician Neizvestnost has an impressive side project that reminds one of a dark, trance-like melding of Tangerine Dream at their prime and old-school techno. I look forward to hearing more from this side-project.
[Song] D R O S E R A – Sun’s Moons
According to the bio attached to the Soundcloud page, Patrick Browning (D R O S E R A) is influenced by bands like Boards of Canada and The Chameleons. THAT, folks, is good taste.

[Video] Casino Shanghai – Hommage
This comes in from Mexico. Someone has a lot of Siouxsie and the Banshees in their collection. I like this!
