this track didn’t just vibe, it lived in me for a minute. 🔥

This tune was first performed by George Michael in 1984 and performed by me here on my Yamaha PSR-SX900 arranger keyboard.

Can you "Name That Tune"? I have a website that contains my complete collection of tunes with their titles revealed at: www.harveytwyman.com

Name That Tune #525 by George Michael

Jussi and Natasha arrived at the studio first and were just setting up when Jussi started playing the intro to "Lipstick and Ash " and Natasha began to fill out the strings.

By the time the rest of the band arrived the idea was pretty well formed and the song, cinematic post rock, is unusual as the drums and bass only feature for 8 bars, the rest being strings and guitar.

Laxá & Heima Kvartett are:
Jussi Siglarson - Guitar
Bjarne Guðjohnsen - Bass
Matthias Helguson - Drums
Mike Taylor - Keyboards
Lisbeth Heima - Violin
Sif Árnadóttir - Violin
Natasha Guðmundsdóttir - Viola
Ída Sigurðardóttir - Cello

Lipstick and Ash by Laxá -  Alternative Rock | Post Rock

Produced by Andrew Adkins
Recorded at Electrahead Media - Nashville, TN

A Revolver In The Field

"Summer Soul" by SENSR is your new go-to for those lazy, hazy days. This track just dropped and it's pure, laid-back instrumental magic. Think golden hour sunshine in audio form, blending smooth, chill-out soul with sunlit synths and head-nodding grooves.
You'll catch mellow, textured melodies riding over easygoing drums, all wrapped up in a sound that feels both nostalgic and fresh.

Summer Soul

The song "Letim" (“I’m Flying”) is an original composition by members of the Prlek Aeroclub, dedicated to the memory of club members Jože Gajser and Aljaž Caf, who tragically lost their lives 20 years ago in an aviation accident caused by a technical failure of the motorized hang glider on which Jože, as a flight instructor, and Aljaž, as a student, were learning to fly.

The song "Letim" describes the grandeur of flying and the feelings we pilots experience when we are up there, high above everything that burdens and weighs us down on the ground — when we are close to the sun and close to our departed colleagues…

Is the chaos inside us inevitable, or can we silence it by simply existing?

Moods In Three Movements

Andrew Adkins doesn’t chase the spotlight—he bends it. Based in East Nashville, just across the river from the neon bustle of Broadway, Adkins has been quietly carving out one of the more intriguing catalogs in modern underground rock. A shapeshifter by design and a lifer by default, he’s the kind of artist whose work doesn’t just sound like something—it feels lived-in, dreamt-up, and a little haunted.

Before going solo, Adkins cut his teeth in a pair of promising, combustible bands. The first was Mellow Down Easy, a swampy blues-rock trio signed to Dualtone Records. The second—Lions for Real—was a gritty-stomp fever dream that burned bright, got picked up by Ryan Gosling’s boutique label, Werewolf Heart Records, and flamed out just as fast. Instead of chasing the next hype cycle, Adkins turned inward.

Since 2013, he’s released a string of solo albums that refuse to play by genre rules—blending dusty Americana with neo-psychedelia, cracked singer-songwriter confessionals with off-kilter rock & roll. His songs don’t so much follow a formula as they unspool like strange little films: vivid, unsettling, and beautiful in the weirdest places. His music has found its way into film and TV (Peacock, Lionsgate Films, Netflix, Hulu, Paramount+, CBS), yet he’s managed to sidestep the machine—remaining defiantly independent and idiosyncratic.

Adkins has shared bills with names like Sturgill Simpson, Lainey Wilson, Cage the Elephant, and Billy Joe Shaver, but don’t mistake him for a scene-hopper—he’s part of the same lineage. The strange ones. The uncompromising ones. The ones who never quite fit into the box but built their own corners of the map instead. Andrew Adkins is an artist obsessed with the craft, allergic to trends, and hell-bent on making music that hits the gut and the weird part of the brain. In a town obsessed with polish, he’s still chasing something raw.
