“Here’s a playlist that I put together for Sunday listening…starts out quite spacey but later peppered with a few classic songs. There are sounds and textures here that inspire me and some moments that informed the production on ‘Lost In Another World.’”
-James Ellis Ford for @HerbSundays
At 78, Haruomi Hosono returns with his first new album in seven years—a swan song, perhaps, to one of music's most quietly influential careers. airmail.news/sh/a5hyMk
House party daze - thought i could go from "wu tang aint nothin..." into a vibey "red red wine" drop but obvs nearly impossible or out of my range, still a haunting moment
For drummers only: an outtake from _The Amplified Come as You Are: The Story of Nirvana_ about "The Terminator," the already legendary rented snare drum that Dave Grohl played on _Nevermind_.

I wrote a little love letter about Haruomi Hosono's 23rd solo record. The old legend is still bursting with great ideas as he creeps up on octogenarian status. Thanks for all the music.
Sincerely, 💌

The YMO founder played both his own material and tracks by Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band, Gene Krupa Orchestra, Claudine Longet and more, as well as YMO's 1993 track "Nostalgia."

[Season 12 premiere] “impossible music" beyond the confines of human playing and composing by mechanical and digital means, as chosen by the Portland OR-based musician/curator.
"...Creshevskian "superperformers", lab-grade physical modeling from University of Edinburgh's NESS project, pianos pushed beyond their means and other pleasant post-human music making..."
-Spencer Doran (@visiblecloaks) for @HerbSundays.
