Listen to an album a day: March


I know Spotify is corrupt, doesn't pay artists enough, and has an AI music problem (onetwo). I don't pay for it, and listen to commercials even though the heroine of Laid suggests that's not to be done. You don't like the links, don't click them. Pay for a service for me, and I'll link that up.

"The Pixies are associated with the 1990s alternative rock boom, and draw on elements including punk rock and surf rock. Their music is known for dynamic "loud-quiet-loud" shifts and song structures. Francis is the primary songwriter; his often surreal lyrics cover offbeat subjects such as extraterrestrials, incest, and biblical violence. Their jarring pop sound influenced acts such as Nirvana, Radiohead, Modest Mouse, the Smashing Pumpkins and Weezer." Wikipedia

Alice Coltrane

There was a moment when I was reading a lot about Alice Coltrane and I was surprised to look back and not see I'd written about her on my music blog. I did quote the beginning of a book on her on another blog : Portrait of Devotion: The spiritual life of Alice Coltrane by Shankari C. Adams The introduction starts: “It was August 1975; a group of us had gone to a music hall in Northern California to hear Alice Coltrane perform in concert. Certain recreational activities, such as drinking and smoking, had been banned from the evening venue. This allowed for a higher vibrational energy to fill the room’s atmosphere. It felt clean and clear. Subsequently, the consciousness of those present felt elevated. The audience was seated and filled with joyful expectation.” I have two friends who are really into hallucinogens and I feel I get high enough meditating a lot.  I read about this album where she's just singing devotionally: Kirtan: Turiya Sings ( spotify ). Today I'm listenin...
