Sometimes I Get a Good Feeling
It’s a known affair, but today I can’t help but comment on the beauty and inspiration I find in the convoluted world of social media and everything digital. A few days ago, I posted this:
That was after I heard the song Maps on David’s blog, which referenced the Ann Arbor SoundCloud local post (written by Jami aka Seams). Chris sent me a thank-you tweet and suddenly I felt...

Amen, Josh. Ship it good.
joshdevins:
A well put piece by our CEO Felix on the state of affairs in the Berlin tech community, particularly with regards to some “journalists”. Time to put all the negativity behind us and move along. Ship it!
fiahless:
Over the past few months Amen has been lucky to receive a lot of favorable, critical and honest German press coverage. We are very grateful...

Oryx & Crake - Oryx & Crake →
hotspotmusic:
Boldly named after Margaret Atwood’s post-apocalyptic romance, the nine-member band plays a memorable folk/acoustic/experimental/indie rock/pop, as it were. The songs are superbly surprising combinations; soft tension, halting, pivoting music released in spurts of movement. The cello and violin play unique characters rather than push themselves into too traditional of roles,...

Things of little import or consequence Part 3.
Sometimes, when i’m tired, i put my head down next to my computer and then i drool… drool, drool, drool…
I am not necessarily asleep at this point.

WatchFacebook COO Sheryl Sandberg looks at why a smaller percentage of women than men reach the top of their professions.
Wow, yeah… good points!
Things of little import or consequence Part 2.
About 67 years ago, my grandfather, after having been drafted into German intelligence against his will then happily captured, was shipped around Europe to fix sewing machines at American camps. He later defected with his wife and little Reinhard to live in the US. Years later, little Reinhard would marry Isola, another German import. They would have little American Ashley who would later move to...

Twin Shadow - Forget →
hotspotmusic:
This album has a genuine thoughtfulness, expressiveness and artistic sensibility such that the absence of those elements from many recent bands is suddenly more noticeable. Twin Shadow’s liquid voice and electronic momentum create a muffled, rich dream state, sharply highlighted with string samples or other synth sounds. Each song is its own strong individual sound and put...

Steve Mason - Boys Outside →
hotspotmusic:
This is the first record out under his own name, but you’ll recognize Mason’s smooth, calm voice from The Beta Band, Black Affair or King Biscuit Time. This album is more like The Beta Band than his other works, though it’s always a pleasure to hear his latest incarnation, and the growth between each new project. There’s a beautiful, swaying tension to Boys Outside - between slow...

Pomegranates - One Of Us →
hotspotmusic:
Within a week of their first album release, they were signed and it’s no wonder. Their sound has an instant accomplished feel to it - layered, well-rounded, self-described “psychedelic dream rock”. A fairly classic indie rock sound, they separate themselves by passionate, positive lyrics and crafted, easy to listen to, but unique songs. One of Us is more of their original...
