Music Tuesday #201: Rediscovery

When you are looking for new music on a weekly basis you tend to forget to enjoy that what you already have been a fan of.

I totally forgot about K.Flay.  Haven't listened to her music for a couple of years.  Now that I am alphabetically re-listening to my CD collection (currently at the B - Brahms is lined up, with the The Breeders following shortly) I noticed my copy of her 2017 album 'Every Where is Some Where'.  Gave it a spin and was looking for 'Blood In The Cut' (see Music Tuesday #015) but actually listened properly to the lyrics of her most popular song on Spotify and got blown away.  

Maybe something for y'all to (re-)discover too?

K.Flay - High Enough

If you want to level up, this one is my personal favorite.  Raw, fast, short and I suspect one of K.Flay more personal songs. Isn't that what we really look for in music: musicians we believe when they perform, songs that touch us.  That is why good music is art. If it would only be well-made, then it would be a craft.

Music Tuesday #083: The Belgian Stooges

When everything is the same and you can't find any change in an endless monotone landscape you would be bored to death.  That is why people go to the sea or climb mountains.  When there is an end, a cravasse, a feature which is unique there you will find mankind.  We need something else to feel alive.  I will give you La Muerte this week.   Although the name sounds like they're a Latin band, they're definitely not. Do you know them?  They have been a band from Brussels since 1983.  And just like Brussels who gets its character by being squeezed between the Flemish, Walloon and European expat forces, these guys have been molded by many musical trends and influences.  As a result, think blues meets heavy-metal, with some synth thrown for good measure.  This is not for the fainthearted. But this does cleanse the soul. La Muerte - Crash Baby, Crash https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NR3SH6lGBZk

Music Tuesday #176: Success is a fleeting moment

This week marks the 4th year that this blog has been running.  Countless times I have almost given up, the stress of coming up with new songs and writing something about it is not a mere trifle. This week I was thinking about bands that missed their opportunity to become hugely successful, not that you must pursue this of course.  But sometimes bands disappear from the scene just before they will make it.  And that's a pity. The band I present to you split just when their breakthrough was imminent.  Maybe, in true punk style, they didn't want success?  I don't blame them.  Ultimately everyone should be allowed to make that choice.  Success is not a guarantee for happiness I guess.

Music Tuesday #212: Welcome to the AA

This band is not neutral, this song certainly isn't.  I like music that has something to say.  Enjoy. Anti-Flag - American Attraction (Acoustic) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6INbXgIB6P0 Anti-Flag - American Attraction (Original version) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w008c1-fHIk
