Description: a queer love story told through song 🌈

Thank you for having me back so soon, and so unexpectedly.

I was already a third of the way through the entire inbox when I was asked to create the Eclectic Picks playlist for a second week in a row. I love picking music and telling people how much I appreciate them for their creation, and hearing how happy it has made them to be understood as an artist.

To compliment the fine work of everyone at Fresh on the Net, I am working on a project to turn the new music I find into eclectic DJ sets, and play this wonderful sound offline, in the real world. The focus will be on playing underrepresented music through quality sound systems in new-music friendly venues, with displays and links to the artists so that they can be studied, followed, enjoyed, and hopefully contributed to financially by the music-curious public. I love challenges.

I’m also going to have to start using social media in order to promote everyone’s music, and these DJ sets. I don’t want to think about that heinous step right now.

Reach out if you would like to know more, or would like to hear a person like me playing all new music in your ears.

If you like this playlist, you’ll also like my previous ones. You can hear those via my Soundcloud page.

As usual, please share and comment on this work and any music you enjoy. Creating and releasing music to silence is a bit like saying “I love you” for the first time and not being sure if the other person heard what you said over the sound of the band saw, and not being able to look Mrs Keggs in the eye again before you had to change schools for a reason that was never made entirely clear.

I usually write more about each track. This week I am doing someone else’s homework and only have time to write a (shit) haiku for each, though I could write forever. Clearly.

The playlist:

1 J.G.W.Parker – In the Mountains and the Valleys and Nowhere Else

You did dreamy right
Enjoyed this as the sun rose
waking my lover
2 Little Juke – Down The Rabbit Hole

I really like that
Sounding a lot like Thom Yorke
she said with a wow

3 Marble Stars – Wood Pigeons Coo

Man speaks. Impartial,
but still the words bring feeling.
Beats summon the birds

4 Solessence – Corduroy

I don’t have a lounge.
So this must be the soundtrack
of relaxed pretence

5 The Gamels – 02 The Gamels – Bittersweet

Effortless audio.
Despite being so damn cool,
makes my tummy melt

6 boycalledcrow – magic medicine

Stuttering glory
generates sonic landscape
at home to corvids

7 DAVID STANLEY – Don’t You Ever Stop

I’d love to drop this
in a heavy techno set.
Sunglasses at night

8 the march afternoons – if you find please KILL KILL KILL

Your composition
inspires admiration in
those who understand

9 Negative Response – Alienation

strip away human
analyse the raw data
a system you trust

10 pecq – stronger

Perfect party track
with an unholy bassline.
Wish it was longer.

11 Benjamin Mace-Crossley – We Have Ghosts – Red Wall Colliers

Two-person mosh pit
broke out in our studio
Must see in person.

12 The Glitterbombs – LGB (with The TNB)

Making your statement
with passion and energy
motivates others

13 Eeade – Sally the Monster Slayer

eclectic playlist
uncovering your treasure
for all to enjoy

14 The B – Roads – Upper Street

Everyone here
welcomes everyone else,
your music tells me

15 Fluid Armstrong – Mirage

dripping musical honey
onto a midnight ice cream
thats a nice image

16 Graham Graham Beck – A Spatial Oddity

My captured spirit,
calling out from your music.
Looks better on you.

17 Anna Skoyles – Baking Cookies Song

Mad ingredients
mixed together with magic.
Conjured many smiles.

That’s it, I hope you loved it too. Please go out and see music and talk to people and remember that the world on the screen isn’t the actual world.

Vine Song

a queer love story told through song 🌈

Sally the Monster Slayer

There’s a permanent click track in my mind,
The metronome like a clock.
Tick tock Tick tock.
Within the head space.
The grasses grow long in the overground garden.
A simple mow will fill a wonderful smell of freshly cut grass into the metasphere.
Another track, control New, controlling you!
Press record. The subtleties of presumption transpire into a grey triangle.
A click track, bait, got to catch them all.
A catcher in the rye.
Slowly we sigh, expanding air through our mouths.
Clickerty clickerty clickerty clack.
The stop bar stopped so did our track.
We derailed, we failed, we bailed.
CTRL N, CTRL N, CTRL N.
We renewed and sat back and observed for a while.

Where the Wood Pigeons Coo,
Where the Wood Pigeons Coo,
Sat waiting for the news,
Sat waiting for the news,
Soon they can renew,
Soon they can renew,
Sat waiting for the blues.
Sat waiting for some clues.

Badgers stripe, scutterling, connected to ground.
Above the majestic kite, circling.

Where bats wings flap, 
Where bats wings flap,
Sonar waves.
Bouncing bouncing.
Soon we can renew.

In the forest; pine scent tickles nose hair,
Bare feet in bracken.

Baths of magnesium sulphate, floating, floating.
Stagnant Meres, Where wood pigeons coo.
Floating floating.
Ducks bath, floating floating
In stagnant Meres
Floating floating.

There’s a permanent click track in my mind,
The metronome like a clock.
Tick tock Tick tock.
Within the head space.
The grasses grow long in the overground garden.
A simple mow will fill a wonderful smell of freshly cut grass into the metasphere
Another track….
In stagnant meres.
In stagnant meres.
Stagnant meres.

Trying, Learning To Care and Not To Care

In the Mountains and the Valleys and Nowhere Else

i'm in free fall
i feel it all
my heart's pounding
my head's spinning
seems like floating
i'm in free fall
i've lost control
trying to stop my
trying to keep my
mind from racing

closer, closer
to the ground
faster, faster
can't look down
everything's a blur
all around
i'm moving at the speed of sound

i just wanna fall
hit the floor
without ever crashing
i just wanna fall
hit the floor
without ever bruising
without ever aching

but did I jump
or did I trip
did you push me
did you make me
or did I slip

closer, closer
to the ground
faster, faster
can't look down
everything's a blur
all around
i'm moving at the speed of sound

i just wanna fall
hit the floor
without ever crashing
i just wanna fall
hit the floor
without ever bruising
without ever aching

i wanna fall
i just wanna fall

Jump

Inspired by a conversation with my Grandmother, I increasingly realise the value of time. Make memories with those you love, because it may be your only legacy.

Fading Memories

A fresh take on the electronic genre from a new outfit based in Tampere, Finland. An album spanning turn of the millenium influenced electro with styles ranging from jungle, French house and triphop to jazz and psychedelic blues.

Max Bianco’s latest release ‘Sometimes’ superbly showcases his songwriting abilities in his own storytelling manner all set against a background of a haunting yet beautiful melody. The brilliance of the track is allowed to shine, through its sheer simplicity really allowing the vocals to take centre stage. Max’s voice is clear yet emotive and thought provoking and the strumming acoustic guitar is literally like the plucking of your heart strings.    


Max has said of the track:
“‘Sometimes’ is about life really and when the cards dealt don’t match up to anything, but how it's maybe worth taking that risk of going all in again and hoping for a better hand to be dealt next time.” 


‘Sometimes’ was written by Max Bianco and was recorded at The Albion Rooms in Margate with renowned, award winning, music engineer and technician Jason Stafford. Produced by Mark Pickering, head of ARU music department in Cambridge, the arrangements were worked on with musicians Fabian Bonner (double bass) and Sean O’Hanrahan (piano). Mark mixed ‘to the track’ and you can sense this with the space in the final master which allows the vulnerability of the lyrics to truly resonate with the listener.
