Music & Audio

Podcasts have been with me for many years. They took up the space that radio probably occupies for other people. After a long absence, my series of podcast recommendations is now being reactivated. First up: Soziopod, a theory podcast with a lot of content.

An exciting interview for in between: Girl Talk talks about mashups and his inspiration for them..

Recently added to my music library and now recommended to you: Danger Beach’s EP “Milky Way”, which is available from the label as a free download – a work in which musical and visual aspects go hand in hand.

If, like me, you are interested in historical music recordings and different styles, the following news should be of interest to you: the American Library of Congress is releasing some recordings from its archive into the wild web with the National Jukebox.

One of these music subjects again, after being on my to write list for quite some time: Nerdcore, a sub genre of Hip Hop with strong influences of nerd culture. So, here we go.

It is time to introduce you to one of my favorite musical discoveries of the last few weeks: Pink Noise. I have had their EP “Here Is Happiness” in my playlist for quite a while now.

I have wanted to share this with you for a long time: Richard, owner of the Waaaaaah! label and fanzine from the early 90s, has put all publications online for free download – digitized from the LP, so please do not expect any sound revelations.

It’s been a while since I have delighted or annoyed you with musical discoveries from the depths of the web (depending on your taste) – I think it was the EP by The Cults from the early days of my magister thesis break. Now it is time to change that.

Something new for your ears in the form of a sugar-sweet indie pop EP by The Cults.

It is time for a new musical discovery: the cool, free Ghostly Essentials – Rarities One (email address required), a lovingly compiled collection of rare recordings from the Ghostly label catalog.
