New Good Song: "Interspace," Starcadian 9.8.17

Here's a new good song: "Interspace" by Starcadian. I was so thrilled to see this fellow releasing new material. I adored the singles he released in 2014: "Chinatown" and "HE^RT." They were both among my favorite songs of that year. "Interspace" does not disappoint. I reached out to Starcadian on Facebook to say all this, and he responded right away; very gracious and cool. Enjoy!

New Good Song: "Parties," Jake Miller 9.8.17

Here's a new good song: "Parties" by Jake Miller. This is straightforward breakup Pop, but nicely done, with a highly relatable theme. A little hard to believe any girl would break up with someone who looks like Mr. Miller, but we'll suspend disbelief for a few minutes. Enjoy!

New Good Song: "Throw Out Your Mirror," Jillette Johnson 9.8.17

Here's a new good song: "Throw Out Your Mirror" by Jillette Johnson. Ms. Johnson released some terrific music way back in 2013: "Torpedo," one of my favorite songs of the year, and "True North," also lovely. I had the pleasure of seeing her in concert around that time, and she was wonderful -- a little rough and wounded, but emotive and talented. Her new material is rawer and more stripped down. I'm not altogether bowled over by it, but this track -- "Throw Out Your Mirror" is an exceptional standout. Gets better upon repeat listens, too. Enjoy!

New Good Song: "Movies," FRND 9.8.17

Here's a new good song: "Movies" by FRND. This track has peaks and valleys, musically and lyrically. Will let you determine which is which. Enjoy!

New Good Song: "Asido," Purity Ring 9.8.17

Here's a new good song: "Asido" by Purity Ring. The title is the phrase "as I do" run together. This is a gorgeous piece of alt-electronic balladry. The lyrics are especially poetic, if not altogether clear to yours truly. Enjoy!
