Just a dork that likes things.
If you're a heavy '70s fan, definitely give this a whirl.
It's a shame Orange Peel has been lost in the rush of early bands shaping the krautrock sound. Big Cream/Purple vibes, and killer guitar playing.
Orange Peel: Orange Peel (1972)
Gotta love the dusty corner where you come across those "one and done" bands. Especially in Germany, where the krautrock reaction to the rise of the American and UK rock scenes spawned any number of bands reaching to find a musical expression that embraced the rise of that country's youth. Orange Peel may have taken a safer path with their self-titled album - this is very much indebted to the aforementioned scenes - but when it's done this well, who really cares?

This really hit the spot for me. I very much enjoyed the previous album, and those folk horror vibes go so well with their characteristically angular riffs.
HUGE day for new music. Here's my picks:
Yellow Eyes- "Confusion Gate." USBM's finest return to their more metallic works after a foray into stranger territory, but they've brought some of that sense of otherworldly wonder to their classic sound.

@totalvibration.bsky.social Lars, I know you're an Exorzist III guy, but don't bother with the one that came out today. I'm bummed I spent $3 on it lol.

Fab reco from @highter.bsky.social. Decaying, droning, distorted soundscapes that make my hair stand up. Like SUMAC meets early Black Dice.

Can't believe 'The Argument' is 24 years old this month. It baffled me a little when it came out, but as I age with it, I find new details to enjoy.

I just learned my doctor, who I adore and have been going to for ~20 years, is switching to a concierge-only model that will cost $7,500 a year. I hate our healthcare system.

New Yowie record is fabulous. If you know them, it's very THAT. If you don't, I believe @totalvibration.bsky.social described them as "wiggly". It's mictronal, mathy, groovy, and brain-breaking. Maybe wait until you've had your breakfast.

Damn, just read about Tompa. RIP to an absolute legend. I periodically yell "GO" like him in the shower, and I encourage you to do the same.

I have been (im)patiently waiting for a new Town Portal album, and it's finally coming out in November. The first track out is fantastic. It's mathy, it's gnarly, it's pretty, too.

I cannot WAIT for this. If you haven't dug in, the previous 2 books in this series, 'Harlem Shuffle' and 'Crook Manifesto', take a leaf out of August Wilson's Pittsburgh Cycle and comment on historical tipping points through the eyes of a world-weary, somewhat shady furniture dealer. Just fab.

Saw Mogwai play to about 15 people when 'Ten Rapid' came out
Saw Prince play (just him and a piano) about 3 months before he died
Was up front for Carcass when they packed St. Vitus
Damon Che spat fire at me when Don Cab played Bottom of the Hill on the 'What Burns' tour

A lean, propulsive read that is, on the surface, a blow-by-blow account of an amateur cycling race. Underneath that, however, are darkly hilarious musings on suffering, ego, and why the hell people race on bicycles in the first place. I don't know shit about cycling and I LOVED this.
