Radiohead Live Shows
Radiohead is putting classic live shows up on YouTube every week until “either the restrictions resulting from [the] current situation are eased, or we run out of shows”.
Hania Rani
Listening to Hania’s music over and over, I began to dream of a single sequence shot that would follow her music floating in the wind of an unreal Icelandic landscape. I asked each dancer to give a personal interpretation of Hania’s song. We were very lucky to succeed in this insane artistic performance despite the great cold (minus 7 celsius), it was such a moment of truth. Shot in Iceland on February 23, 2020

I Advance Masked
The year is 1982. I am recently graduated from high school and embarking on my college experience. I haul my entire, cumbersome component stereo system to my new dorm and reassemble it there. This is the first record I drop onto the turntable.
I Advance Masked is a collaboration between Robert Fripp and Andy Summers. This record was and still is a tour de force of guitar work by two quiet giants of the art.
Aquarium Drunkard
Apparently this is music day.
Aquarium Drunkard is a fantastic amalgam of music, and writing about music. There is so much here it’s overwhelming in the best possible way.
Originating in 2005 and based in Los Angeles, Aquarium Drunkard is an eclectic audio journal focused on daily reviews, interviews, features, podcasts and sessions. Digging globally, AD bridges contemporary sounds with psych, jazz, avant-garde, folk, garage, funk and beyond. For heads, by heads.
There is a lot here: Podcasts, SIRIUS/XM broadcasts, writing, and reviews. It’s a treasure trove, but don’t take my word for it. Go take a look at the lists of guest contributors, and interviews. This is the real deal.
There is also a Patreon page.
Hollow Earth Radio
Hollow Earth Radio is an old-school, freeform, indie radio station broadcasting an eclectic mix of things you won’t hear on traditional radio.
“Our focus is on audio not often heard on the traditional radio dial, including: found sound, field recordings, forgotten music, local musicians, bedroom recordings, lo-fi demos, dreams, storytelling, conversations from within marginalized communities and things that feel real.”
I found the station on my SONOS via TuneIn radio, but there are several other ways to listen right here.
