Some red wine and Sir Sly cuts to the truth with new single “Loverboy”

Posted in music, tagged on February 13, 2021| Leave a Comment »

Sir Sly will deliver their third album, The Rise & Fall Of Loverboy, on April 23rd. The So-Cal group have shared a few songs off the upcoming record including “Material Boy,” “Little Deaths” and “Citizen.”

Lead singer and guitarist Landon Jacobs says, “The Rise & Fall Of Loverboyis an album about falling in love with someone new, and the magic that brought into my world. It’s also about slowly eating away at that magic through drinking and self-medicating, and my journey into early sobriety and reckoning with my past.” 

I *feel* like Sir Sly came to play Victoria a bunch of years ago….but I think I missed that show (if it’s the one I remember). Dang. Was always down with these guys, even back when they had that weird little ghost mascot and had songs like “Gold” bouncing around soundcloud. Ah, that’s my mistake. I should have went. Just too many shows you know…then there’s a pandemic and regrets of shows missed.

Flora Cash share new single “Feeling So Down”

Posted in music, tagged on February 13, 2021| Leave a Comment »

Flora Cash is a duo I’ve been listening to for years. I think like a lot of people, I loved “You’re Somebody Else.” That song was first released in 2017. I don’t know when I found it, but it went into heavy rotation. Followed up with “They Own This Town” and I also enjoyed “Missing Home.” That filous remix is thumbs up emoticon.

Flora Cash is Sweden-based Shpresa Lleshaj and Minneapolis raised Cole Randall. The two connected over music in 2012 and their relationship accelerated to marriage from there.

Let’s have a listen to “Feeling So Down.”

“lay your hoodie to bed at night.” I don’t know, that’s what the lyric sounds like to me.

Oh sad songs hit hard sometimes. “Feeling So Down” is a song for our times right now. Maybe a song about a breakup but maybe also just a song about distance and missing someone. Being apart? I’m banging out blog post while sitting at the computer in the kitchen looking at the snow fall in my suburban town. This song is a nice accompaniment while drinking my coffee and eating some toast.

Obsessed with Saudi Arabia’s Mishaal “Peddle Bike”

Posted in music, tagged , on February 8, 2021| Leave a Comment »

Been listening to a ton of Mishaal lately. His song “Peddle Bike” seems to be in heavy rotation on SiriusXM’s Alt Nation… and it has migrated onto my playlists. I also love his remix of “Friends.”

Mishaal is originally from Saudi Arabia but now lives in New York City where hs is going to college. He started creating music a young kid in Saudi but he was saying on AltNation the other day that he started recording in NYC after some youtube videos went viral. He found a studio, paid the $30 an hour rent and put down some songs.

There are a couple articles I came across…here’s one from 2018 and another in Cosmo from the summer.

My favourite takeaway is that his fave throwback is Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” Alright my young Saudi friend, you have a new fan in this old Dad guy.

I got this feeling I can’t sleep without you… Listening to Yaeow – “Stuck Here Without You”

Don’t know much about Yaoew. Discovered the song “Stuck Here Without You” and now I’m a fan.

Dude has social media but mostly hypes his tunes. He keeps the vibes pretty chill with this feather light song about yearning or longing.

Go with yourself.
