I remember those relics, compact discs right? :P

Pokey LaFarge has been around a few years but I've just recently stumbled onto his music. Don't know how to describe it exactly though, but it's smokin' stuff. Midwestern, country, jazz, swing, roots... I don't know. You figure it out for yourself.

Some editing music.

This reminds me of the time I once went into an Apple Store and the young “Genius” came over to me extolling the virtues of an iMac, explaining how you could sync your iPod with the Mac so that they both had the same music on them. I told him that I didn’t have an iPod.
“Oh,” he said rather perplexed, “how do you listen to music then?”
“I have a gramophone,” I replied, “but it’s a bit of a twat getting hold of the wax cylinders these days.”
He just looked at me with utter puzzlement.

Hrm,

Just recently I watched a really awesome b-movie called Turbo Kid. The sound track rustled my jimmies, so I started looking for it and I fell down the rabbit hole in a genre of music that I didn't know was really blowing up, synthwave (also known as retrowave). Basically 80's synth pop that models after soundtracks from scifi's and games and the like, but modern. I'm an 80's kid, so it tugged hard at me.

So I found Bandcamp, a website for buying directly from the artists, and I started buying albums on there that way in FLAC format (you can also stream the music you buy later too which is handy).

So lately I've been absolutely enthralled with:

Gunship
Le Matos, Chronicles of the Wasteland
Dynatron, Aeternus
Perturbator, Dangerous Days

Others to know about:

Timecop 1983 Reflections
Carpenter Brut, Trilogy
Duett, Borderline
Lazerhawk, Redline
Mega Drive
Starforce, Age of Nano

And so much more... a totally great genre if you're an 80's kid that loved those sounds from games & scifi and action from the 80's!

Very best,

Music that is older then near everyone on potn. I have been transported back to the time of Scott Joplin.

You'd have to be 99 years old to have shared some time with him. I've got a few 78RPMs with various rags.

From the other end of the spectrum:

• Max Bruch, Scottish Fantasy:







• Bascom Lamar Lunsford, "I Wish I Was a Mole in the Ground":

I wish I was a mole in the ground
Yes, I wish I was a mole in the ground
If I's a mole in the ground, I'd root that mountain down
And I wish I was a mole in the ground
