thanks for listening ya'll!
yeah, abt that KevyB track, I recorded it at her old apartment in SF, and she didn't even hear the track, just sang the lines and I mixed it later. that's because she's basically a genius. Also, there is a version featuring Corey Fogel on drums, now drumming for Julia Holter, but it was lost in a hard drive crash :(

I (my gf) had a hankering for some DOMINOS PIZZA tonight (it's great!) and started typing it into my browser. My browser suggested instead I go to DOMINIQUE LEONE's Bandcamp, with the kind of ESP-laden flourish which browsers so often evince, for as I obeyed these technological instincts, much to my gf's tummy-rumbling chagrin, we discovered that the man himself has but two days ago released a new mini-album. Thanks to this serendipitous instance of online hunger, we've given it a listen. It's magnificent. Great job Dominique! Particularly smitten with 'Sunshine & Freedom Rock' and above all 'November' which is one of your/his best songs so far. All over in twenty minutes too! Now for pizza. Papa John's.

btw i'd still like to go through 365 and somehow cull a 50 to 60 minute personal highlights package out of them then post my choices here - with your blessing of course

if you'd rather it was considered as a monolithic entity that's totally cool too!
― imago, Tuesday, 4 October 2016 17:32 (seven years ago) link
no of course, I'd be honored. I watched a documentary called Indie Game last week. One of the developers of a very successful video game was complaining that the people who wrote good things about his game didn't like it for the same reasons he did. And I promise I will never be that guy.
― Dominique, Tuesday, 4 October 2016 17:34 (seven years ago) link
cool! well, I'll be on it. that guy is always a pretentious jerk but fortunately I rarely run into him in my culture trawl

A frankly brilliant double-album, as one would expect from a trawl through 365 songs by the talented Mr Leone. Quite happy with how this sequencing has turned out (others may disagree and make their own?) My favourite tracks overall - well it's hard to look past that mid-February run really, but everything here is wonderful. Apologies to the months of March and November; the latter would have been represented but its title-track has already found fame and fortune on DL's own 365 best-of (a fairly restrained 7-track mini-album...)

I saw her just last week at the Astoria Park Carnival bemoaning the fact that their little one wasn't tall enough for the rides, same as mine, not that mine is ready for the rides after a fateful trip on the Palisades Mall Carousel ("hold me tight, daddy, hold me"). Now my daughter likes to look at Carousels and discuss which figure she'll ride on when she's "older and ready". Dominique seemed happy with daughter and a unicorn won at a fishing amusement. /queens dad rock scene report.
