Heard at RH Rooftop Restaurant in North Hills, Raleigh, NC.

Loved zoning out to this, watched it twice. We peaked in the 90s (early 2000s weren’t bad either).

Heard this at some bar in San Francisco. Reminded me of the Fremen from Dune (esp that cover art).

Heard this off a young person’s boombox on the subway.

And here’s dancer Angela Trimbur’s really, really emphatic interpretation. Love it. Reminds me of Rosamund Pike in this Massive Attack video (“Voodoo in My Blood”).

Listened at Le Cheile in Washington Heights.

BLN sent me this and I’ve listened to it on loop for the past few days (overcast weather is the perfect complement). Simply sublime.

This and Mesaytara are my two new favorite earworms right now.

After about 03:00

Heard this at the Blazing Saddle.

Heard this at The Picador in Iowa City

This is mad and I love it.

This is the saddest piece of music I’ve listened to.

This is the saddest ambient album I’ve listened to, bar none.

Ames, Iowa, 2005 – 2007 <3

Heard this on “The Jackal” when I was about 14 or so and I was blown away. An all-time favorite

One of the greatest songs to ride a road bike to 🙌

An Iowa City favorite. We probably played this about 14,715 times.

Heard at a dance place in Madison Wisconsin, 2006.

Ian Gee was listening to this on the bus in Iowa City in October 2007. I fell in love with it instantly. He then told me about Black Moth Super Rainbow.

Off the “Drive” soundtrack. Fuckin’ A.

Heard this of the “Twilight” soundtrack.

My God. A new hope, a chance to start fresh (almost). This song is “All is forgiven”. I love it so much.

Mad. Heard this at La Boheme in Ames, Iowa when I was a wee lad.

AD told me about this and I love it so much. Danced with CK a lot to this song.

Oh Ames, Iowa 🥲

This is probably my favorite piece of music, ever. As of 2024, I probably wouldn’t mind if this were the last thing I listened to before I died.

I’ve listened to this a quadrillion times.

Absolute magic.
