I needed Friday and Saturday to apply final tweaks, but now #ThePomegranateCountyIrregulars’ May single has #BandCamp early access. #IndiePop bordering on #AlternativeRock, but on the dark side, it’s Theme to an Imaginary Spy Movie (Deceivers Die) backed with A Hard Land.
On this day 10 years ago, Future Islands made their stellar debut on Letterman.
"This was the moment that the wider world really caught on. Letterman was delighted, the performance went viral, and Future Islands suddenly became a whole lot more famous."
"I don’t remember actually performing the song.
I was so overcome with the moment that I blacked out.
It was a life-changing moment, and it took me years to see the way that it opened up my life."
It's official. On May 1, we will go worldwide with the single "Theme to an Imaginary Spy Movie (Deceivers Die)" b/w "A Hard Land." I thought to myself, self, I want to do a spy movie theme. Then, I had to come up with a plausible spy movie title. For the B side, some artifice as a character in the last line of a verse appears in the first line of the next verse. It's set in the west and in the past.
#BandCampFriday yes, but meanwhile it’s also #NewRelease day for us. You may have noticed that we releasing tracks which are part of a July album. Nonplussed alert. The new single has tracks that are not on the album. The B-side almost made it, but was cut for time.
Two fun tracks about extraordinary (and fictional) people. The A-side jangles and the B-side imitates a 60 year ago Dylan intro and even older Bob Wills interjections.
Hey I just “updated” my website. I was using koji but it got bought out and rather than transfer to linktree my spouse coded a basic website for me. Can someone please check and make sure it all works? It’s pretty barebones at the moment, but hopefully functional.
It should be visible in both light and dark mode. Thank you! 🙏

All these years later… still a fun as hell #80s pop record.
One of my five or so preferred pop albums from that decade. “Space Age Love Song” is an incredible song, and it’s not even what this record is known for.
Just read that Welsh emo-indie-pop band Los Campesinos! have finished their new album, which is great news!
But, I am a little disappointed I didn't get to sell them these emo song names:
Heartbeats documented in A Minor
Sadness on the sea's edge
Hello, Future; Goodbye, Youngsters
The last good scene of a boring apocalypse
Sick of love, starved of romance
Hey! Fat Tuesday! I have a song about that. A complete fabrication about a San Fernando Valley neighborhood, Valley Village, celebrating. Geo-locate the narrator walking out of Kulak’s Woodshed and imagining Laurel Canyon Boulevard jammed with revelers.
"Midnight City" is a song by French electronic music band M83, released as the lead single from their sixth studio album, "Hurry Up, We're Dreaming," on 16 August 2011. It became one of their most popular tracks, known for its catchy synth riff and saxophone solo.
#ThePomegranateCountyIrregulars have put up a video of a track that probably, yeah, really likely, that will be part of the next album in July.
Don't know about on a single, though.
5-6-7-8. When I was putting lyrics to the backing track, I think I had recently watched an award-winning mini-series about a mendacious, vain musical director and his under credited wife.
Do you like moody, sad, yet glittery pop disguised in introverted goth vibes, like The Cure, but you're like, "I wish an airy soprano voice was singing, to rep the sad cat girls?"
Well my friend, may I recommend this track, Holy Grail? Not only does it feature the wistful regret of a broken relationship, but also the seething resentment of being exploited rather than cherished. Also, there's hammered dulcimer.
Or perhaps you like your melancholy cat girls singing a chill summer jam that sounds like it's about romantic love but is actually about friendship love, reminiscing to a simpler time when friendships were close-knit, before the detritus of adult responsibilities fully took hold?
Make sure you catch when that beat drops, and feel swept away by a waterfall of 💫 vibes! :pensive_party_blob:
"I Hate The Way" is a poignant track by Polly Scattergood, from her self-titled debut album released in 2009. The song is known for its emotional depth and Scattergood's distinctive, haunting vocal style.
Please enjoy the music video for my #synthpop#triphop#indiepop song "Garden." We had fun with projector lighting and candles.
Shoutout to my compadre Alyssa Fischer who not only sang the song beautifully (including some sweet octaves and harmonies) but was willing to mess around and make a video too! 🤩
Join RFF and Blue Nagoon @bluenagoon for a world premiere watch party of their new music video for "Garden" featuring Alyssa Fischer.
We'll spin some Blue Nagoon tunes and videos, premiere the new one ~15 past the hour and the artist will be in chat for any questions and generally festive vibes ya'll usually bring.
