Hear: The Lemon Twigs – A dream is all we know
While I am still amazed by the possibilities of music AI’s (udio, suno, riffusion, etc.) these days, the new (never heard of them) album of The Lemon Twigs is out. The 12 track release covers me in a strange plaid of melancholy, and I feel torn. On the one hand, I’ve always loved when old…

Hear: Four Tet – Three
Four Tet is one of the most creative heads in the world of electronic music. Back in my active electronic days, I even used to share a stage with him one time at the Nachtdigital Festival. I don’t like everything he makes, but you can never predict how the next song is going to sound…

Hear: Billy Caso — Home Comfort Mix Series
Music producer and collector Billy Caso originally hails from South England but has spent the last few years in Berlin.

Hear: The Libertines — All quiet on the Eastern Esplanade
The fourth album from the lads, and it’s a challenging one for me. I’ve followed the band for over 20 years now, but I highly doubt if that album were their debut, they would be where they are now.

Hear: Sum 41 – Heaven :x: Hell
Here it is: the final album of the Canadian Pop-Punk band. It’s a double album uniting both their musical sides – Punk and Metal. To be honest, I was not a big fan of Sum 41, but I love their hits (Fat Lip, Still Waiting, In Too Deep, and Pieces), and I value their work…
