Today's the anniversary of my latest album, "Tennis, Everyone?" — A Tribute to the Late, Great James O. Incandenza, and while I usually haven't celebrated album anniversaries, I'm particularly proud of this one. Hope you've enjoyed it if you've listened, and it's free as always. youtu.be/nZoteImDLXM

Vibin with Buddy Guy's Sweet Tea. Usually I prefer my Blues the old fashioned way (acoustic by a solo artist), but the sound on this record is so deliciously gritty and grimy that it borders on very heavy, moody rock. The bass tone on "Baby Please Don't Leave Me" is incredible.
As much as I love Tarkus and Karn Evil 9, my favorite ELP track is still Toccata. Emerson's chaotic keyboards are such a perfect fit for Ginastera's playfully evil composition that even over half a century later it still feels heavy, extreme and radical. youtu.be/ZdSeNMlKTcA

Everyone wants you dead. There's a killer on the loose. And you still got a case to solve. Good thing you got a tough broad, a fast car and a whole lotta weapons. Fallen Aces - Episode 2: Shadow of Death is OUT NOW! youtu.be/Kte2sKAUZps?...

Vibin with This Heat's self-titled, an anxious collage of off-kilter rock experiments. Absolutely wild that this was made in the 70's, outside of the recording quality it would totally parse as a modern experimental rock record. Some people call it scary, but I find it exciting.
Swans just put up preorders for their new live album "Newly Sentient Being", consisting of the final performance by this iteration of Swans. Their previous live album, Live Rope, dethroned Swans Are Dead as my favorite live album of all time, so suffice it to say I'm excited.
Also vibin with Vladimir Oidupaa's "Divine Music From a Jail" today, Tuvan throat singing with solo accordion. Very lonely, intimate and personal music, like you're hearing the depths of a person's soul. Regardless of whether he was innocent or not, Oidupaa's music is immense.
Vibin with Melankolia by Stolen Kidneys, Finnish noise rock just the way I like it: dissonant but still riffy, sharp but still meaty. Grim, desperate and crushing. Really underrated, I only found them by sheer happenstance.
Up to 99 Piranesi. pieces now. This batch's are half an hour each, a bit more digestible in length but no less weird and abstract. I haven't had time to work on 100., so there will be a bonus series of smaller pieces between now and that. www.youtube.com/@piranesi.pr... piranesiproject.bandcamp.com
Hakita@hakita.bsky.social · 5mo ago11 Piranesi. pieces in 1 week has got to be my new record. Hopefully this will be enough to keep a few fans of weird, atmospheric and abstract music fed for a while. We're approaching triple digits, which might call for something special? www.youtube.com/@piranesi.pr... piranesiproject.bandcamp.com
Vibin with Om today. As much as I love Sleep's Dopesmoker, I do consider Om the best Al Cisneros project, the focus on hypnotic bass grooves and middle eastern influences gives it a very unique character you can't really find elsewhere in the stoner rock sphere.
Vibin with the self-titled album by Nerves, their first and only release. Damn shame too, because this is still by far one of my favorite mathcore albums. It's not as crazy as the genre can get, but the pacing and heaviness more than make up for it.
Sprawl Zero seems very promising from its demo. The slower, tankier pace fits well with the pick-up-and-drop combat where each weapon only has a few shots of ammo. The presentation is great, the gameplay very juicy, the navigation sometimes a bit confusing, the pace nonstop.
Promises made. Promises kept. Thank YOU to everyone who participated in our 12 year anniversary event for allowing us to make this record breaking donation to @makeawishintl.bsky.social 🎉
