Record Sale

Surprisingly there was a record sale at Saturn today and so I have three new items in my small record collection. Harry Case and Anna Burch are some kind of experimental, because I know nothing about these two artist, but I'm curious to know more about them and their genre.

New Bass

Finally got a new bass today! After "so long" (one week) of not playing, it feels good to have a bass again. Unfortunately, my previous one's neck has warped, so it is no longer playable, but at least its being replaced by this beauty!

SONG OF THE DAY

Day #37

Today's song is ‘Everything’s Beautiful’ by Australian alternative Neo-Soul Jazz/Funk band ‘Hiatus Kaiyote’ from their 2024 album ‘Love Heart Cheat Code’. This four-piece from Melbourne is best described as a dynamic relief from the bland monotony of top forty radio hits, ‘Hiatus Kaiyote’ are an auditory delight. This song is an effervescent celebration of life and sound, with the band's leading lady Nai Palm stating that the song is “a testament to the importance of finding simple joy in your day… not the delusion that we live in a utopia... But rather about actively looking for the beauty, grace and joy in life,” (Clash, 2024). I was so lucky to see them live last weekend at the Fortitude Music Hall and it was a religious experience. To quote my dad while exhausted at the end of the night, with the biggest shit-eating grin on his face: “It was a mess, I can't describe it, they were great.”

“Didn't you notice?

Don't you know, love?

Don't you know everything's beautiful?”
