Rolling weird music 2020

Hear, hear. Especially in this day and age where it's becoming harder and harder to pass by the self-implied and money-driven gatekeeper that is The Algorithm and Curated Playli$t$. Which suggest only inward paths to swallow you for their personal gain, instead of the outwards paths lj succinctly described. 'We need guidance' is otm.

Emily and Dan's show truly is on the right side here and one to keep a keen eye on!

Ah, thank you!

I definitely get overwhelmed with the amount of music that's out there - I also have some issues that mean I simply can't concentrate on music for as long as I used to/other nerds may do, so I need navigation tools more than ever. Some of that is from relatively traditional modes of journalism, some from here, but I've always found the best way of finding stuff is through actually being involved in music making and "scenes". I don't really mean scenes like cliques, though there is always the risk of that, but if you know people who make stuff then they know other people who make stuff, and you get to know the interconnected underground networks and can follow trails to all sorts of places, rather than getting stuck in a cliquey cul-de-sac. I think the two biggest problems with this, though, are accessibility (not just disability accessibility, but location, age, internet access, a massive pandemic, loads of things), and also that as I've aged my networks have too, and that means that I can completely miss new exciting stuff, because I'm no longer on the same trails as the people who are coming up.

I've spent ages typing this out and now I no longer know if it makes any sense, but oh well, I'm gonna hit send anyway.

thanks for the new dn

I like this album by The Gagmen. Dark/weirdo supergroup with Aaron Dilloway, Nate Young and Andrew WK

huge amount of hastily made weird demos by montreal musicians to raise money for a good cause:
