lyrics

I mean, I don't believe in a good song. And the reason I say that, is because I think that the idea has been abused as a, what do you call it, a proscription. When the definition of a good song becomes a proscription, it's completely useless. You want the opposite. What you want, is a good song to become undefined, so that everything that has been proscribed is now allowed, everything that has been unheard can now be heard.

Could be it was good to have sex to. It could be that it made a lot of money. It could be that it had an important message. I mean, deciding whether a song is 'good' or 'bad' is the least interesting role that a describer of a song could play. It gets more interesting as you go deeper into it. It's like, well, how does it make me feel?

Only Love From Now On
by Carmen Villain

I stumbled across Carmen's music purely by chance recently. She won me over instantly. Beautiful, abstract, ambient, textural work. Take a dive into her world, you won't regret it. Dan Webb

Deerhoof vs. Evil
by Deerhoof

About a decade ago I bought Deerhoof's entire back catalogue 20 seconds into hearing "Secret Mobilization" for the first time. I've remained a huge fan ever since. Dan Webb

The Algorithm Smiles Upon You
by Move 78

A modern jazz album for modern times from this Berlin-based outfit. Relaxed instrumentals, with a humorous yet relatable title to boot. What's not to love? Dan Webb
