[Music] Oval – O
70 tracks of pleasantly brief glitch, courtesy of Mr. Oval himself, Markus Popp.
[Music] Prince RIP – I Would Die 4 U
Prince has died. Another massive loss, another long round of phone calls of friends sharing why they saw him as a pivotal artist during the 1980s. May he rest in peace.
[Music] Mikael Lind ~ Intentions and Variations — a closer listen
What a cover. Julia Guther’s “remixed artwork” is the EP’s entry point, making one think, I have to hear this.
For more, read here.
To hear Mikael’s music, go to Bandcamp.
[Music] Björk – Pagan Poetry
Björk seemed to be peaking when she recorded this track for her 2011 album, Vespertine. If you’ve ever had the chance to hear this in 5.1 Surround Sound, it’s a delight to the ears.
[Music] Tablet Sleep – Inversion
As if I don’t have a number of interesting reasons to visit Russia. The Day Of Life Forgotten is an independent net label operating, it seems, out of Moscow (though if it’s not the case, I’ll update the post). This release, by my friend Alexei Serebreikov under his monicker Скрижали сна, is a great balance of electronic music, mixing elements of psychedelic music and drum & bass, a touch of IDM, all the while keeping everything sounding balanced and rhythmic. Something worth pursuing.
[Music] Refugee Project Band – The Streets Without Names
Unfortunately, there’s no embedding capability for my friend Zdenko Colic’s music, but if you like shoegaze and rock combined, this may be worth checking out.
[Music] Bandcamp Radio #161
Andrew Jervis broadcasts for Bandcamp.com as their chief curator and host of the Friday Night Session radio show (KUSF). I only wish Bandcamp would host more shows, but if this is it, it’s a damn good one.
This week’s show highlights Awesome Tapes from Africa, and Paris Strother, one third of the soulful Prince protégés known as King.
Click here for the show.
[Music] Seu Jorge – Lady Stardust
I don’t think there’s a corner of the earth (except in either Taliban-land or ISIS-istan) where David Bowie’s music didn’t reach out to. Here is Brazilian pop-samba artist Seu Jorge doing a sparse, beautiful cover of a classic Bowie tune.

Marty Willson-Piper is the former guitarist of The Church. Though I’m bummed he left the band, he’s still making some rather solid music these days.
