Review: The story of this one revolves around San Diego native Anthony "Antone" Williams. He was one day alone in a studio, messing about with the gear and before he knew he it lay down the haunting rhythm that underpins the tune now presented here by the good folks at Athens of the North. It's a sinister, restless one that got released as a hugely limited 7" on Unity Records with otherworldly soul production and a pained vocal up top. Post punk soul, some call it, and that's a fitting descriptor. A remix appears on the flip but the allure of the original is hard to beat.

Everything Is Falling Apart (4:27)
Review: The latest short form offering from Scottish alternative indie rockers Teenage Fan Club will do nothing to dissuade fans the Glaswegians remain at the cutting edge of their sound. After a four year hiatus, they've returned to hit us with catchy, upbeat, sweet and jangly aural sugar that masks the rather melancholic lyrical content. 'Home' bounds along with summer seemingly pouring from every guitar chord, while Bellshill's finest sing of dejection, frustration and longing.

Then we are told 'Everything's Falling Apart' through harmonious vocal delivery on the B-side: an understatement of epic proportions given the current global situation, it's indicative of the band's well-established modus. Packing suggestion and inference beneath easily-accessible instrumentation is a sure fire way to make as many people as possible stop for a long, hard think.

Review: Thundercat hasn't released any new music in some three years. This first new tune in a while comes alongside fellow cult favourite Tame Impala and is a limited edition, single-sided cheetah screenprint 7". The song is a perfect coming together of the two with lyrics musing on a doom relationship and real melodic synchronicity elevating the tune. A slew of new and much anticipated new live dates follows the release of this tasty new single and will see Thundercat play with the likes of Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Strokes.

Review: Following on from their widely acclaimed album Afraid To Leave, Berlin's beautiful maudlin post-punk outfit Bleib Modern presents a compilation of remixes and reworks by esteemed artists from across darkwave, post-punk, and EBM. From IV Horsemen's club-worthy rendition of 'Bitter Smile' to M!R!M's dreamy synthpop take on 'Into The Night' via Dune Messiah's crooning 'Loony Voices, 2 Afraid 2 Leave: Remixed Reimaged Reloaded Part 2 offers truly diverse interpretations. With contributions from luminaries like The KVB and Blind Delon, it provides a fresh perspective on Bleib Modern's sound and serves as an exciting interlude that showcases the band's versatility and paves the way for future creations

Review: The Outer Edge reckons that this first release on their label is one of "the rarest and simultaneously best-recorded independently released German new wave singles in history." Bold words, but probably not far wrong. 80s outfit Total wrote it as the first and title single for an album deal they signed. It's a killer cut with hints of 'The Message''s hip-hop rhythm and alluring female vocals over a lush bassline from the Jupiter 8 keyboard and DMX drum machine funk driving it along at such an inviting mid-tempo. The withering cosmic keys add extra spacey goodness and here it comes with a couple of alternative mixes, though the OG is really the one.

They have worked on reimagining songs from the former's well-received 2021 album Glow On and the results bring all new perspectives and dynamics to tunes like 'Mystery', 'Alien love Call' featuring Blood Orange and 'Underwater Boi.' Both Turnstile and BADBADNOTGOOD are untouchable in their fields right now with rave reviews for their records as well as their live shows. This is another standout project.

Review: TVAM first crept onto the radar in 2018 with a self-released debut which split the difference between Suicide and Boards of Canada, but since then his sound has broadened to incorporate a shred of pop nous and anthemic grandeur best captured on new single 'Costasol'. If that track has a deceptively gentle, dreamy demeanour, there's plenty more space for murkiness and claustrophobia elsewhere on the EP, as the one-man-band indulges his industrial and lounge tendencies in strange, compelling new mutant forms. 'Ephemerol' in particular stands out as the perfect misfit foil to the lead track's poised bombast, fuelling the dualistic intrigue of an artist who never misses.

Review: Given Tornado Wallace's impeccable Balearic credentials, you'd expect his new A.S.O project - a collaboration with Berlin-based singer-songwriter Alisia Seror O'Neill AKA Alias Error - to tend towards the dreamy, immersive and emotive. It does, of course, with the pair conjuring gorgeous slabs of downtempo leftfield pop variously influenced by the layered textures of shoegaze, the wide-eyed bliss of 80s dream pop (Seror O'Neill's vocal delivery is at times reminiscent of Cocteau Twins' Elizabeth Fraser), the blazed Bristol beats of Massive Attack, the flat-on-your-back day-break headiness of ambient, the hard-to-pigeonhole brilliance of the Duratti Column and the late-night-on-AM-radio atmosphere of Kelley Polar and Morgan Geist's similarly inspired Ai Suisse project.

Review: The legendary Talk Talk was one of a kind. Not only did they craft exceptional studio albums rich in melodic details but they were top in the live arena too. This sublime broadcast from 1984 finds them in Utrecht in the Netherlands playing for a live FM Broadcast recorded at the Muziekcentrum Vredenburg on 27th May. The group formed by Mark Hollis is in dynamic form and they worked through all their hits to date alongside cuts from the two albums which they had already put out at that time. Experimental rock, jazz and free improv all defined this most artful band.

Review: It's hard to believe it is now a full decade since Detroit's Dez Andres blew up off the back of his classic house jam 'New For U.' He had of course been toiling away for years before that, recording with Moodyman and DJing for Slum Village amongst other things. Since then the music has kept coming - some of it hip-hop as DJ Dez, some of it house under this alias, and much of it a perfect fusion of the two. And that's what we get here on this new EP for Beretta Music - four lush deep house joints with his smooth signature drum loops and gloriously incidental melodies. The slower, funkier bounce of 'Back To Nature' is the EP highlight for us, but all four of these are a cut above, as per usual with Dez.

Review: When members of mega-bands work with relatively obscurer artists, we're always intrigued. But a potential trapping factor is in thinking Jarak Qaribak, for example, is more of a Jonny Greenwood album than a Dudu Tassa one, when in fact the exact opposite is the case. Tassa, an Israeli singer-guitarist who fuses Middle Eastern stylings with contemporary rock, lends a challenging structural terrain to the Radiohead member's electric guitar licks, with the former's Arabic and Hebrew lyrics moving atmospherically against them. A star cast of fellow Israeli artists accompany the pair, as serene vocal beat-driven movements plod and swell away in an appealingly nu-proggy fashion.

Review: Despite emerging as a synth-pop outfit, Talk Talk's sound evolved considerably in a short space of time. By 1986, when their third album The Colour of Spring hit record stores, they'd ditched the synth-pop of their debut and the free-jazz-influenced post-rock of its sequel in favour of a more traditional indie sound - albeit one still infused with some electronics and bags of aural invention. The performance captured on this CD (originally recorded for a radio broadcast) dates from 86 and mixes interpretations of tracks from The Colour of the Spring with new takes on earlier singles and classic cuts. Highlights include a rushing version of 'It's My Life', the concert-opening 'Talk Talk' and a decidedly Balearic, harmonica-sporting 'Living In Another World'.

Review: Dark Entries are back with more of that sweet, sweet goth sauce in the shape of Topographies. The San Francisco band have been building up a following for their faithful tribute to sad-eyed synth-pop and new wave from the early 80s, releasing an album in 2020 on Funeral Party as well as a single for Sonic Cathedral. It's not hard to pick out the influences, and it all makes sense when you learn Gray Tolhurst is the son of The Cure's Laurence Tolhurst. They're not simply aping another band's sound though and if you can't get enough of that quintessential goth rock sound, you're going to love this record.

Review: A collaborative album made and released by Mike Patton and NYC's hip-hop DJ trio the X-Ecutioners, General Patton vs. The X-Ecutioners is a landmark album in the big-smoked turntablists' discog, thanks to its then-newfangled embrace of elements of two nascent genres: free jazz and glitch. In fact, the album is themed around a war between the two vastly different styles, which makes it a worthy, but lesser-known contemporary to many other artists fusing the styles at the time, such as Amon Tobin. However, this album is more in the vein of Wu-Tang than future angst; this reissue via Ipecac serves to rejolt its underground infamy.

Review: Following the departure of co-founder Gerard Love in 2019, many Teenage Fanclub fans feared for the future of the long-serving Scottish band. They needn't have worried. Endless Arcade, their first album since 2018, feels like a gloriously baggy, jangly and positive return to form, with the rejigging line-up confidently striding through hooky, ear-catching indie-pop songs laden with a combination of atmospheric acoustic guitars, jangling, Johnny Marr style electric guitar riffs, subtle references to the Stone Roses and the kind of glassy-eyed group harmony vocals that were once at the heart of late 1960s dream-pop records. A confident, accessible set of future sing-alongs that fans old and new should adore.

Review: Critics should never have drawn comparisons between Tunng and Beta Band. Tunng have always kepy many of the traditional English folk totems alive and well in their work, only using electronic drums, details and samples when it's really necessary, and in subtle ways. Beta Band can barely be described as folk, but if you do it's surely a folk turned inside out in a field the morning after a rave.

Mother's Daughter... and Other Songs is a case in point. Even at its most machine-made, perhaps 'Kinky Vans', the way in which modern production kit and techniques are used sounds as natural as you could ever make compressed drums and staccato, typewriter percussion. Elsewhere the balance is weighted even more in favour of the timeless; 'Fair Doreen', 'Out of the Window' and 'People Folk' bringing in pure campfire vibes. A genuine genre-defining classic, now re-released to mark its 15th anniversary.

Review: John Dwyer is rapidly approaching the level of modern-day icon, after years of hammering out the jams in insalubrious basements with the likes of Coachwhips, The Hospitals, Yikes and around 467 other bands. Thee Oh Sees may remain his most accessible outfit to date, but on the evidence of 'A Weird Exits', there's no danger of him diluting his garage-fuelled attack any time soon - indeed, herein he can be found extrapolating the band's trademark fury via trips to the stratosphere awash with psychedelic abandon and krautrock radiance. All told, another triumph for a modern day master in the Spinal Tap-approved fine line between clever and stupid.

Both working the album and listening to it makes for a psychic journey to a place of healing.

Review: When Scottish alternative rock heroes Teenage Fanclub first dropped this, their third full length outing, it was something of a milestone. Arriving via the world famous and universally (well, we think so anyway) revered label Creation Records certainly never does anyone any harm, but in this case all the stars aligned in such way to offer the band what every British guitar act aims for - US success.

American tastemaker title Spin magazine even crowned it Album of the Year for 1991, a sure sign of its impact over the other side of the Atlantic. Whether you'd agree with that accolade or not, it's a classic example of jangle-noise-power pop indie that really helped define what those words actually mean for at least two generations to come. A landmark release.

Review: Kevin Parker is a real enigma of a musician. The brains behind the rightly celebrated and ever-surprising Tame Impala, he's never one for delivering quite what you expect, while still understanding that one of the most important things in music is striking a balance between the familiarity disciples need, and the expressive exploration that can prick the ears of the previously uninitiated.

Album number four, "The Slow Rush", certainly adopts a different outlook to previous undertakings. It also more than lives up to its name. It's smooth, tripped out (perhaps not so surprising on the latter front) and strikingly void of those highs that seem to offer the aural equivalent to some opiate-amphetamine blend. But we don't miss out. Instead, we're given permutations of soul, prog rock and acid house, perhaps making for the most expansive record this guy has been responsible for.

The collection here is impressively broad and varied, covering Chvrches, Ryan Adams, Kelly Lee Owens, Shamir and more. The duo's approach to the covers is creative and reinventive, and on the more stripped back covers the vocal work from the Quin sisters has the space to take centre stage and shine, showing just how much the duo have developed since their initial cover record.

Review: The combination of former Microdisney/Fatima Mansions singer Cathal Coughlan - one of the sharpest lyrical minds the alternative scene has ever produced - and fellow Irishman Jacknife Lee, former cult beat hero turned super producer and co-writer to the likes of Taylor Swift, U2 and Peter Buck, is an incendiary one. Given maximum space to resonate by the sparse but detailed electronic productions, Coughlan paints worlds of reality and fantasy mixed up, as memory so often is, so poignant as a result. Beats arrive courtesy of the unmissable 'Sex Bunting' and 'Mister Imperator', but whether the soundscapes are lively or luxuriating in the background, the concoction is heady and hard to resist.

Review: Tropics - AKA singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Chris Ward - deals in a smooth and spare electronic sound, in which the love of '80s Peter Gabriel and Arthur Russell that he grew up is parlayed into yearning songs that are both stylishly understated and emotionally engaging. Never less than inventive and melancholically melodious, 'Rapture', his second album, makes for an exquisite litany of heartache and regret, as Ward delivers the kind of late night tales that will be manna to anyone whose tastes veer in the direction of Sade, James Blake and The XX alike.

Review: FUNK! DISCO! FORMERLY CHILLWAVE? Super smooth, gliding vibes here from Toro y Moi that's cooler than Jamiroquai/Pharrell Williams with the hat on. Outer Peace presents a forgotten number of LPs the South Carolina-raised artists has released to date, though this presents his sixth in a decade. Without a hint of irony this album is superfresh, perhaps not as out there as SOPHIE's recent Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides - but it needn't be. Its temperament is mellow and easy going with a warm funky vibe: think Daft Punk post 2016 and you're almost there. Candescent pop, splashes of Parisian house and disco with a fresh cosmopolitan touch added on top too. Pure Wax.

Review: Infamous Libertines and Babyshambles frontman Peter Doherty returns with his latest project, Peter Doherty and the Puta Madres, formed by members of Doherty's touring band from his 2016 "Eudaimonia" tour. He brings with him, of note, Jack Jones - also a member of Trampolene - who shares vocal duties and guitar collaboration with Doherty on the LP. Expect a ragged, not entirely inharmonious, array of spangled guitars, boot-skootin' fiddles, broken down jazz and deconstructed mega blues. A good one for those smokey nights of Laphroaig when lamenting the ups & downs of one's life and times, all spent in an irreverent tone of UK punk and blues, or as the band call it: an intimate portrait of love, loss, being lost, happiness, tragedy, addiction and the power of the human soul to transcend its darker levels

Review: "Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo / Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo / Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo..." Nobody could accuse Third Eye Blind of poetic metaphors on the smash hit 'Semi-Charmed Life', lead single from this, their 1997 self-titled debut, but we can all reflect on the fact the song has everything necessary stick to your mind like glue, and defines an age that we can rightly feel longing towards.

The late-1990s were, upon reflection and in comparison with today, lacking in cynicism and very much styled with hearts-on-sleeves. Even if back then we thought we were defined by skepticism. Third Eye Blind's take on post-grunge alternative rock kind of epitomises this - not an outright rejection of commercialised music, yet anything but throwaway.

Rather than a straight-up live album, they decided to create a series of Live At recordings which not only feature choice cuts from Khruangbin's sets, but also showcases the music of the people they played with. In the case of this release, it's Toro Y Moi who get the A-side warm-up slot, recorded from their May 7 2022 show from The Fillmore, Miami Beach.

Review: Originally established as an outlet for founder and core member John Dwyer to explore home recordings, The Oh Sees soon grew into a full live band, who quickly picked up acclaim not just for their excellent musical abilities - straddling garage, post punk, noise, art rock and more - but also aesthetic wit, prolificacy, and deft ability to keep switching things up without looking like they were lost.
In 2013, it was announced that a hiatus was coming, but this lasted very little time at all - a record followed in 2014, and the group toured as a three-piece, sans Dwyer, for a little while. He then rejoined in 2015, driving that when something is good it's hard to say no. Skip to today, and they've released well over 20 LPs, but while studio work is quality, it's the live shows that really make an impact. Here's one, which proves exactly what we mean.

Review: Three decades deep and still going strong, Teenage Fanclub return with their eleventh studio album Nothing Lasts Forever. It's the sound of a band with a mighty grasp on warm, melodic indie rock having helped define the approach back at their inception in the 90s. The Scottish outfit are leading the album with 'Foreign Land', a single which bursts with all the soaring brilliance we've come to expect as breezy acoustic strum and fuzzed-up electric leads spiral around each other underneath Norman Blake's unmistakable vocals. That's but a primer for an album full of the nuance and reflection, not to mention ear-snagging hooks, that Teenage Fanclub have made their name on.

She was touched by the idea of the settler's movement and got into the mindset of a cowboy while writing these tunes. The resulting sounds are full of hope and mystery and were all written in an explosion of creativity and energy in just a couple of months. That plays out in the urgency of the grooves making for another great long player.

Frontman Patton teamed up with The Jesus Lizard's Duane Denison, Battles/Helmet stickman John Stanier and Melvins veteran Kevin Rutmanis on bass, Tomahawk took a direct shot at the melodrama of nu-metal and tapped into a truer, more evocative idea of disturbed America. It's a masterpiece from start to finish, wildly unhinged but with a dead-eye focus.

Review: In the labyrinth halls and corridors of Mike Patton's musical endeavours, there are always hidden treasures to be unearthed. Dwarfed by the likes of Faith No More, Fantomas and Mr Bungle, Tomahawk has retained more of a cult appreciation since their first album came out in 2001. With Patton teaming up with The Jesus Lizard's insanely talented guitarist Duane Denison, Battles/Helmet sticksman John Stanier and Melvins veteran Kevin Rutmanis on bass, Tomahawk took a direct shot at the melodrama of nu-metal and tapped into a truer, more evocative idea of disturbed America. It's a masterpiece from start to finish, wildly unhinged but with a dead-eye focus, and surely ranks among the finest projects Patton has ever turned his distinctive larynx to.

Just listen to the stirring, swooning ‘Take My Heart’ and you’ll hear exactly what we mean - you can’t fake soul like that. It’s no wonder it shot to the top of the Aussie charts upon release, but now it’s set for a whole new level of appreciation as Decca carry it to the wider world.

Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters
Review: The Twilight Sad are unmistakeably their own band. "Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters" is a complete record, the nine tracks working together to create a strong narrative flow. Deceptively simple songs are rendered transcendent. Bleached, overdriven guitars consistently work in tandem with an articulate rhythm section, forever poised between tension and release. Augmented by piano and more frequently accordion, which provide the songs with a dramatic swoon, The Twilight Sad purvey an awestruck, ragged sentimentality. Lyrically suggestive and metaphorical, their songs give glimpses of bitter experience and romantic failure, their songs at times verging on the anthemic or celebrative, yet firmly rooted in the familiar, often unsaid hurt behind day to day events. Fat Cat have released a great record.

Review: That Petrol Emotion were a unique mix of Irish bandmates, US frontman and based in London, riding the new wave but readily embracing electronic horizons as the 90s loomed ahead. Their second album Babble is still very much rooted in indie pop, but it covers a lot of ground and presents ideas that made the band a genuinely unique proposition. They could turn up the heat and rock with the best of them, or turn to inventive ballads without missing a beat. Now the album's being repressed by Last Night From Glasgow as an extended edition with extended mixes, B-sides and more besides.

Review: It's something of a rite of passage for Nottingham's downtrodden romantics Tindersticks, with Distractions coming in as album number 21, including film scores. You wouldn't think it, though. Despite our best efforts to learn everything about their often painful, frequently thought-provoking and always poetic world, things still sound strikingly original here. Almost as though you'd just encountered them for the first time.

That's even more surprising given the contents. Rather than opting for either a covers or original album, the players have chosen a combination of the two. Bookended by new material, we're given some startlingly unique readings of work from Neil Young, Dory Previn and Television Personalities, with the package overall coming in as a quiet and sophisticated, woozy late night drink destined to be used as a cure for all ills.

The Party's Over is grandiose in all the best ways, capturing an era of exquisite songwriting which was groundbreaking and traditionally rooted at the same time. Like ABC, Talk Talk knew how to deliver bombast and sentimentality without losing the depth of their work, and now, 40 years on, this spectacular album is being given a reissue on white vinyl.

Each song is short and to the point with straight-from-the-heart vocals, warm acoustic guitars and fuzzy synths with artful standouts including 'World on Fire' and '7:1.'

Review: On Season 5, the long-awaited fifth full-length by beach-pop project The Tyde, frontman Darren Rademaker unveils his vision of an 80s-inspired Suave Nouveau, with a clutch of sweet, melancholic love songs evoking lush mustaches, mellow macho, the ghost of Jimmy Buffett, white sand beaches, flamingos swooping across a cerulean sky, speedboats cutting through the bay and pastel linen suits billowing in the breeze as the sun dips beneath the horizon. Rademaker started developing the tracks on Season 5 during lockdown, company consisting of just him, a Casio keyboard, and re-runs of Miami Vice and Magnum P.I. "In the past, I have always looked to California for inspiration, with surfing and the Neil Young coastal vibe. But I knew I wanted these songs to be less California, and more about the islands." The result is a sonic diary, high on the fumes of memory, filled with longing for things that are vanishing amid a quietly collapsing America, juxtaposing the allure of peachy sunsets with a sense of negative space, a psychic and temporal dislocation, the feeling that a golden age has slipped away, and the vagabond years are over.

Review: Following up her last spate of albums, Colourgrade and Highgrade, South London vocalist and musician Tirzah adds to her streak of successes with Trip9love...???, a comparatively glossier update to her sound. Produced in collaboration with her longtime friend, collaborator and composer Mica Levi, the album recalls the melancholic, piano-driven r&b and beats formula that ensured the success of her debut album Devotion. But there's a rougher, more phased-out extension to her sound here, with more emphasis and effects placed on Tirzah's vocals, and a production gamut that more recalls the early-2010s weightless 'wave' productions of Mr. Mitch or Mssingno. An icy, elusive addition to Tirzah's catalogue, sure to take the South London contingent in particular by storm.

Review: Ten years after she made her debut on Greco-Roman, singer-songwriter Tirzah drops her third studio album, a collection of imaginative and sugar-free love songs crafted with the help of frequent collaborator Mica Levi. Trip9Love, which was recorded over the course of a year at their homes and "various studios around South-East London and Kent", is relatively minimalistic in terms of the musical elements employed - think looped piano motifs, beats that sit somewhere between lo-fi hip-hop and hyper-pop, and Tirzah's now familiar voice - but still sounds surprisingly "big". It's a great example of a simple idea, executed brilliantly, with standout cuts including the infectious 'You All The Time', the ambient pop style 'Their Love', the gritty and crunchy 'Stars', and the flash-fried '2 D I C U V', where Polly Jean Harvey-esque guitars catch the ear.

Several guests feature including Ersatz and Ian Starr and the inspiration for these new takes was texture and sound rather than the musical material itself. "It's an experiment! I'm still learning" says Syke of a wildly eclectic album that fuses club, noise, pop and indie into a thrilling contemporary record.

Review: The eighth and final studio album by giant-grey-suited art-pop auteurs Talking Heads, Rhino was a curious sendoff for the four-piece, hearing David Byrne and company move back in the direction of worldbeat and Afrobeat, harking back to earlier opuses like Remain In Light. Considered a return to form for Talking Heads after the relatively panned True Stories, the album did rather well, owing to their seeming successful achievement of the goal of writing an album about "human beings stripped of their pretensions... of their surface trappings." Now reissued via Rhino, we hear this 1985 finale in its best light once again.

Review: David Byrne's seminal Talking Heads group remains a huge influence on a wide range of artists to this day. Their artsy take on music making and performance is still unique, and plenty of their tunes still bang. True Stories was the seventh studio album by the American outfit back in 1986 and preceded Byrne's plated film True Stories. The record features studio recordings of songs from the film and standout hits like 'Wild Wild Life' whose video won two MTV Video Music Awards in 1987. As far as catchy melodic pop and beautiful rock moments go, this is packed with them.

Review: National Album Day 2023 throws up another treasure here with Teenage Fanclub's Bandwagonesque album from 1991. The Scottish alt-rockers were known for their power pop and noise-pop sounds and this second album saw them crossover to have some genuine success in America. The record is best known for 'Star Sign' which reached number four on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart while 'What You Do to Me' and 'The Concept' were also successful hits, in part because of their great vocal harmonies. Critics note the album was heavily influenced by William Alexander Chilton and Christopher Bell but it remains a fan fav.

Review: Australian alt rockers The Triffids were destined for greater things than their homeland realised at the time. While enjoying some success Down Under between the late-1970s and late-80s, it was in the UK and Scandinavia that they really seemed to resonate. A decade-long love affair defined by some very 1980s singles (in the best possible way - 'Wide Open Road', 'Bury Me Deep In Love'), long before all that they put out Treeless Plain, a record that nodded to their future but was a far more DIY sounding thing. Suffice to say, when it arrived in 1983 the record made an impact, critically if not necessarily in mainstream consciousness. Blending folk with an altogether edgier and artier guitar sound, the songwriting and structure are still commendable. Listening back now, 40 years on, the evidence is clear - here's a band we should always list among the best of Antipodean weird-pop.
