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 :(

"Trying to make baroque pop that is also Black Metal (sonically speaking)"

One month to go!

there's a lot to listen to there. trust this dude's opinions tbh and the only recommendation I'd say I'd heard is Government Plates

need to plough thru the 365 project bits I've not heard too

"Feel What U Want"'s cyborg-Tuskisms and Toto-quoting are a treat.

I love Dominique Leone, one of the top 10 artists of the last 10 years imo

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.

post of the year

I hear he wears Darkthrone shirts...

Looks like it, yes..

ha thanks imago, hope you got your fill one way or the other

now do project 365 again with a child (congrats btw!)

ha! only docu-diaper-change form I'm afraid

and thank you!

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!

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.

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

doing this now

only just realised that 'san francisco' is DL's own version (albeit re-recorded, coz he can)

ok i've been through the whole thing and chosen

it comes to 1h 50m, 28 tracks

i'll order it into a double-album and post the results here

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...)

lol is that your OPO

it's a demonstration that he's not an obsessive type

Suggestions for pop acts DL can reboot, following the astonishing success of Max Tundra's Daphne & Celeste

I'll start with...Rebecca Black

No wait...the Fast Food Rockers. THERE

He's back!

She, shurely?

They

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.
