LYRICS. OF THE DAY: "FREAK OF NATURE" BY BROODS

Freak of Nature by Broods



"Love made do crazy things
Loving life turned me insane
Love shoots the pain through my veins
Loving life turned me insane
And maybe it's beautiful
Maybe it's beautiful."

Despite photo quality not doing justice, I was fortunate enough to see Broods perform at the 930 Club this week, with Jarryd James opening. Before Freak of Nature begins, vocalist Georgia Nott tells the audience that this song means a lot to her. She voices her hope that at least one person in the crowded, standing-room-only venue will feel what she wants to express. Nott's passion is shown through the phrases on love, and from watching her fiery performance, anyone could see that she would do anything for love.

A Deep Dive (ha ha) into Japanese Breakfast's Bandcamp: Gaining Inspiration from Early Works

Image
If you know me, you know I am a huge fan of Japanese Breakfast.  Michelle Zauner is an incredible songwriter, musician, and composer, and I have been lucky enough to get to see her perform twice; the first time, I got to work tech for her solo performance at Brandeis APAHM! As my own band, Sproutfit , works on recording our first album, I have been going through the majority of Japanese Breakfast's early discography, trying to glean a sense of how she got from recording a-song-a-day in the month of June to producing one of the most impressive albums I have ever heard with my own ears, Soft Sounds From Another Planet:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20iCZeU35eQ&list=OLAK5uy_kvYKKaMlrdlcu49F4cjfa3julL2osOtNw . Going through her early works, I found some beginnings of a couple of full-blown indie masterpieces I know and love, so if that's what you're into, here you go: Zauner's first band, Little Big League , put out the song Boyish  on their album Tropical Jinx:  htt

April's Good Indie News 7/15/20

Hey Folks, Here's a small roundup of my recent good indie findings, some new to the world and some new to me: I recently discovered that the ending theme to iconic Cartoon Network show Adventure Time is not, in fact, a song by Rebecca Sugar , as most are! Instead, the song is called Christmas Island , and it is by the Olympia, Washington-based band  LAKE , off of their 2009 album, Let's Build a Roof:  https://laketheband.bandcamp.com/album/lets-build-a-roof-klp213 Whitney announced today that they will be releasing an album of covers in August, called Candid ! The first song came out in May on Bandcamp, a version of John Denver's Country Roads, featuring Waxahatchee :  https://whitneychicago.bandcamp.com/track/take-me-home-country-roads-ft-waxahatchee-2 , This is the best of the three that have been released so far, in my opinion. The third, a cover of Hammond Song by The Roches , came out today. The songs are not anywhere near the lovely lo-fi quality of the band's us

MEET THE LINDA LINDAS

Image
Are you still at home for quarantine? Stuck inside during the virus? Then you, too, are probably also catching up on Netflix. Such a situation I myself have been in lately, I most recently finished the entirety of The Babysitters Club with my sister. There was very ubiquitous pop music throughout, especially individual songs with lyrics featured at the end of each episode. This was not so notable. But then, I watched  The Claudia Kishi Club , which is a documentary short that explores the legacy that the Babysitters' character had on readers. The short was fascinating and fantastic, but what stood out to me most was the song with this accompanying music video during the credits:  The Linda Lindas , I came to learn, are punk rockers ranging ages 9-15 years old, and they are fantastic. They are named after the song Linda Linda Linda by Japanese punk band The Blue Hearts . They are charming, and their outfits are incredible (not to mention their logo:  https://thelindalindas.wixsit
