Hello Heads! I've spent the past (so many years) inside my own musical echo chamber, sometimes craving new music but largely going deeper down my own rabbit holes. Mostly this goes back in time, trying to figure out the roots of who influenced those I love, following a coil spinning tightly around our own Cope, but chasing the same threads back to Spacemen 3, and the Texan scene with 13th Floor Elevators and Red Krayola. I digress though. Lately I've been giving streaming music another whirl, just trying to drift with suggestions on my commute and really like rdio for this. I discovered Kandodo a couple years ago from this site, so put them in as a seed band. I've since discovered: Gnod/White Hills Date Palms 500mg Psychic Ills Matt Baldwin Pleides Clorinde I think I am getting more and more into droney analog synth/ambient stuff like Cope does with D - c.o.m.p.o.s.e.r. and Leli B Really do like Kandodo, although The Heads do not quite hit it. Maybe I am getting old and like the long, languid more ambient tracks (although the electronica "ambient" of the 90s never did it for me, either). Swim into the Sun, Kandy Rock Mountain, July 28, Witch Doctor, and Yamadharma are all spectacular. I do have the Copendium and am working through it, some of it is hard work! It has taken me many listens to warm up to some of the A.R. Machines stuff but I will admit that is personal flaw. I am getting there... TV as Eyes has always been one of my faves but lots of other Chrome is still inaccessible to someone with my minimal navigational abilities. I mean, I know how to speak in tongues and fold spacetime like a guild member, but cmon, a lot of that is just hard to listen to. Anyway, based on the above I would love more suggestions... y'all are brilliant! (btw I am also open to all kinds of stuff and would love suggestions for other no-bullshit singer-bards like Cope but have a hard time finding similarly earnest heathen rock n rollers)

Well I wouldn't know where to check out new music -- mostly I've been getting it the old fashioned way at the record shop. But here's a list of new bands I've dug recently if that helps: Thou Kayodot Wild Honey Wild Nothing Have a Nice Life Cages (that's a duo from Buffalo, closer to me but their recent vinyl album is just great!) Meddlesome Meddlesome Meddlesome Bells (that's a band originally from my town) Merchandise (the best recent 4AD signing although they were a bit of a disappointment live for some odd reason...) And of course the Chilean psych band Follazoid has already been much talked about here, so if you haven't delved into it yet do so... Can't think of much else.

The Everlasting Yeah - Anima Rising is worth a punt It was self funded on pledge music about a year ago and is now being released through occultation records. The band is the last line up of That Petrol Emotion but without singer Steve Mack. Although, the music does not sound particularly like that band. It's hard to describe the music except that the songs are long, guitar driven and at their best they rely heavily on repetition of exceptionally catchy hooks. There are plenty of positive reviews online with links to their music and here's one: http://stereoembersmagazine.com/pushing-the-manic-pop-thrill-to-the-next-level-anima-rising-by-the-everlasting-yeah/

I've come across some interesting and odd stuff since starting to listen to Late Junction on BeebRadio3.. if there's nothing on telly no harm in trying it, particularily if you're into ambience, drones and soundscapes. If it's too latenighty cocoa n comfy slippers for you fair enough. Last week I heard something by Triac that really made me want to hear more of them. EDIT, just remembered that a new presenter's possibly started a shift on the programme this week: could be better, could be worse. Will discover later.

If ambient/drone and electronic experimental music is your thing you need to check out Zoviet France's Radio Show on Resonance FM 'A duck in a tree'. All previous shows streamable here https://www.mixcloud.com/zoviet_france/

Hey Mantid, Though it's not analog synth ambient stuff, my favorite ambient music for driving is the sadly disbanded "Friends of Dean Martinez". Here's one of my favorite tracks: http://youtu.be/A0rJXOR968c Cheers!
