A Clangorous Double Din...


 As of 2022, A Clangorous Din has achieved the distinction of a Top 20 placement in both a Jazz and an Electronica national chart. Cheers!

P.S. To finally explicate: the image chosen to accompany A Clangorous Din wherever it goes is of the facade of Le Bec Fin, which for a long time was a glamorous, world-acclaimed French bistro on Walnut Street in Center City Philadelphia. This in response to the "Parisian kitchen" reference in the portion of Opera Bufa the song uses. The image was given a Kandinsky treatment. 

P.S.S. During the course of summer '22, A Clangorous Din twice placed in the Soundclick Jazz Overall Top 20, on June 25th and on August 3rd. Autumn, it rose to #16 on October 14, #19, 10-15, #20, 10-20, #19, 10-21, 10-22., #17, 10-26, #18, 10-28, #16, 10-29, #17, 11-13, 11-14, 11-26, #19, 11-16, 11-18, 11-22.

Feel (I saw) remix in Acid-Electronic: Dynasty?


 After twenty-five weeks in the Acid-Electronic Top 5 on Soundclick, including ten weeks at #1, are we free to call it dynasty time for the Feel (I saw) remix there?

P.S. Worth noting that Feel (I saw) remix has also spent 10+ weeks in the Soundclick Electronic Overall Top 100.

First Band on the Moon

First Band on the Moon by The Cardigans: an interesting album with an interesting history. Embraced by a big chunk of Europe as a rock masterpiece, ignored in the US, though of course lovefool was a huge hit single here. Still sounds fresh, and like a rock masterpiece, to me in 2022, and in the US registers as a buried gem.
