Song of the Day: Finch – Unspoken is the Word
Song of the day: Finch – Unspoken is the Word No, not that Finch — this is a wonderfully chill instrumental Dutch prog tune from the late 1970s. It sounds like the song you’d hear over the end credits of a late-90s sci-fi racing game, as replays of all the fantastical lands you’ve driven through … Continue reading
Song of the Day: Escort – A Sailboat in the Moonlight
Song of the day: Escort – “A Sailboat in the Moonlight” Discovered this one on the CJSW playlist today. Apparently, the secret to making me happy is to turn a standard from the 1930s into a slow-building Caribbi-disco groove. Wholesome and slinky are always a solid combination.

Song of the Day: Jonathan Kane – Pops
Song of the day: Jonathan Kane – Pops I’m not sure exactly how a 7-minute post-rock instrumental is meant to pay tribute to Staple Singers patriarch Roebuck “Pops” Staples, but there’s something about the halfway-to-rocking groove of this one that keeps me hooked anyway. And it’s a Periodic Table release, which means that if you … Continue reading
Song of the Day: Solla Solla Enna
Solla Solla Enna Perumai (by FouFromage) I stumbled across this a few years ago, and then completely forgot it existed until I started aimlessly perusing my Facebook timeline (still not necessarily a fan of that, but I’ll get over it). Dude’s got moves, no question. (Source: http://www.youtube.com/)
Song of the Day: Pogo – Jaaam (The Fresh Prince Remix)
Jaaam (The Fresh Prince Remix) (by Pogo) Pogo’s remixes of movies and TV series are consistently wonderful, in a feel-good pop-culture-savvy Lemon Jelly sort of way. I would recommend going through his full catalogue if you have a few minutes to spare. (Source: http://www.youtube.com/)
Twisted and Amazing Short of the Day: The Pig Farmer
The Pig Farmer (by Nick Cross) A twisted but utterly engrossing Canadian animated short. Nick’s about 10 minutes into making a feature. It might take a few years before it comes to fruition, but it’s worth getting excited for. (Source: http://player.vimeo.com/)

A song to ring in the new year
Happy 2013, everybody. I don’t know about you, but mine’s an entirely blank slate. Everything’s up in the air in a good way, and this song seems entirely appropriate. Well, aside from the fact that it was released on an album that only came out after the Zombies broke up, which meant the band didn’t … Continue reading
