I love-love this cut and paste video stuff.

“Echo Lake” new single from SUSS
I love-love the “ambient country” music this band makes.
Heavy Tremors beat tape
This new beat tape from Supa K is a strong indicator that there might be a new Quakers album coming this year.
Peelander-Z – “So Many Mike”
I’m not one to need a theme song, but if I ever did, this would be in the running.
Happy Friday.
Ohbliv – Southside Vibrations
I’ve been listening to a lot of beat tapes lately, which is a result of my attempts at making beats. I love a lot of this stuff. One of the names I see a lot is 0hbliv. His beats are all really nice but I was pleasantly surprised to hear that he’s an RVA local.
It’s worth checking out if you like generally chill beats.
Tipsy Bandcamping pays off
Bandcamp runs a deal on the first Friday of every month where they give their cut of the sale back to the artist. In turn, lots of artists have been donating that extra cut to worthy causes. It’s been fun to go music shopping with a cocktail once a month. Sometimes I spring for the physical copy to go along with the download, which is what happened here.
Moon Duo’s Occult Architecture, Vols. 1 & 2, from 2017, are in the classic Moon Duo guitar-and-synth wheelhouse. It would be a decent starting point if you’re new to the band.
Hamilton with the family
We were all excited to watch Hamilton over the holiday weekend. Like so many families, ours had a strong bout of Hamilton-Mania back when it was a national sensation. The soundtrack was on all the time and the kids sang the songs themselves when it wasn’t. There was a minor flareup when the show started to tour the US, but it died down pretty quickly. This week leading up to the Disney+ debut of the filmed stage production saw a return to the full-blown Mania but this time I was also excited about it.
I was the last person in the family to see it and it somehow exceeded my expectations. The show is great. The way it’s filmed is great. It looks and sounds so good that I never felt like I was watching a filmed stage production. I can’t recommend it enough if it something you’re remotely interested in.
“Out of Sight”
I talk about this movie so much and I was *hyped* when it made the cut for a family viewing. It’s peak Steven Soderbergh, peak Jennifer Lopez, peak George Clooney, with great small roles from Luis Guzman, Dennis Farina, and Michael Keaton (and there are another half dozen folks in it that I *love*).
And I haven’t even mentioned the David Holmes score. The whole soundtrack is perfect.
“Somewhere” by Gum Country
I mentioned this band a couple of weeks ago. The album is really good.
