Aaron Smith

Last night I added a bridge to a song I’ve been working on for a while.
It was an unexpected addition, provoked by all the Shakespeare discussion here on Thursday.

Good morning, my friends.

For most years, I might have a hard time deciding, but I was born in 1977, so…

Does Columbo count?
Because we immediately know whodunnit!

If not, I’m going with Poirot, starring David Suchet.

Aaron Smith At the age of 39, Aaron Smith took his old guitar out of the closet after 15 years, turned the skills he'd learned as a novelist toward lyric writing, learned to sing, and wrote and recorded his first EP, "Red Wolf Mist" over the course of the years 2016 to 2019. His second album, "Sand in the Hourglass" was released in August of 2021.

It’s still #BandcampFriday for a few more hours.
My full discography is 30% off what it would cost to buy everything individually.
31 songs for $16
I’m grateful anytime anyone listens.

”Baseball” by Ken Burns

DONALD TRUMP KILLED 170 CHILDREN IN MINAB, IRAN AND THEN POSTED A SIZZLE REEL DECLARING "FLAWLESS VICTORY"

We are the bad guys.

We are the rogue nation we grew up being taught to fear and despise.

That line in your profile!
Ouch!
I agree.

They have a habit of doing that to players who deserve better.

David Gilmour shredding in Pompeii, with Pink Floyd in 1971. Go watch that masterpiece.

David Gilmour on tour in 2025. Still sounding amazing of voice and guitar.

Happy Birthday to David Gilmour, my favorite guitarist of all time and a righteous dude. 80 years old today and still making most beautiful music.

If you haven’t seen Pink Floyd’s Pulse concert go give yourself a treat. Timeless.

I wish I had her problems!
Is 48 too old to get adopted?

David Gilmour

God is 80 years old today.

II: Thy Desolation, by Fathomless 7 track album

Surely there's some overlap between #metalsky and #treksky I can't be the only one. I'd love it if some more #StarTrek fans go listen to my new single about Klingons, Honor and Glory. Blackened death metal. Full album available for pre-order

Lines in the Dirt, by Aaron Smith track by Aaron Smith

I can't really have a thread about protest-adjacent music without recommending something by my friend @aaronsmith377.bsky.social, now can I?
And yes, this one feels very appropriate.

koteBlue koteBlue. .

you may have seen that chronic illness has been winning some battles against me lately
working to bounce back but in the meantime getting something from my bandcamp is a huge help! koteblue.bandcamp.com/music

Porous Collective First an archive of Michigan improvisers, now a metaphor for the many/others that is the self. Lalén, Caeiro and Xeno are heteronyms, in Pessoa’s sense. Their vocation is electroacoustic, experimental, improvisation. Sound art that sometimes lies beyond what some call music. Ultimately, the fundamental work behind these recordings is to precariously ground unground existence in the doing. Peace.

It’s Bandcamp Friday so I’m just going to leave this here.

Sand in the Hourglass, by Aaron Smith 10 track album

It’s #BandcampFriday again and I still don’t have any new music recorded 🤷‍♂️

But here’s my last long album, and it’s all about time, history, and
memory.

#Bandcamp #MusicSky

aaronsmith4.bandcamp.com/album/sand-i...

Either or both.
I should have said both when I originally posted, but it started getting replies immediately and I couldn’t go back and do it over.

Netstal's Panoramic Pandemonium, by Stone 10 track album

First up, as always, are the latest releases by @artofstone.bsky.social! Got to get those.

stonessonicjournal.bandcamp.com/album/netsta...

Everything Is Not Going To Be Alright, by Buzzard 7 track album

And speaking of @buzzarddoomfolk.bsky.social, each of his releases fits this months theme perfectly. So you could start with the latest EP and work your way backwards. You most likely will not regret it!

Acts and Bones singles pack, by Hidden Since the Foundation of the World 2 track album

And if you're like me and want more from this song in particular, there are remixes available too! Including one by @buzzarddoomfolk.bsky.social, with an album on the way in April!

hiddensincethefoundationoftheworld.bandcamp.com/album/acts-a...

Man of Stated Age, by Hidden Since the Foundation of the World from the album Man of Stated Age / Bad Winter dual single

Or how about a song that points out the actual source of many of our problems today?
@hiddensince.bsky.social have one for that!

In Moments Like These - Demos [ALBUM], by Annika Jayne 10 track album

Thanks so much! 🙏 The album was written in 7 days and recorded in 12 approximately. It was for the Album Writing Club of the Lights & Lines Label. On the album I tried to process an extremely toxic relationship (among other things).

Foolin' Around, by Cheer Captain from the album A Painting You Can't Afford To See

And if I'm making a thread about rebellious songs, @cheercaptain.wang can't be left out!

Please don't do what the song tells you to, btw! Unless you're 110% certain you can get away with it... But even then, better not!

Avert Your Eyes, by Tremosphere track by Tremosphere

And showing that a song with a revolutionary message doesn't have to be loud and frantic to have impact, here's one by @tremosphere.com.

While Sylvia and I have not talked about this one in detail yet, it's one I'm already very familiar with.

tremosphere.bandcamp.com/track/avert-...

Not Like This, by Transgressive 5 track album

Well, if speaking truth to power is the theme, I can't not mention @transgressivemetal.bsky.social!

As a start, here's their latest EP, but the entire discography fits the theme perfectly!

transgressivethrash.bandcamp.com/album/not-li...

You Ain't Fit to Burn, by Back Bone Shiver from the album Idiot Box

The first one is from my friend @untidymusic.com

"You Ain't Fit To Burn" is a sentiment that can easily apply to many things (and people) in this awful time we live in.

backboneshiver.bandcamp.com/track/you-ai...

Once again, it's #BandcampFriday and I have some recommendations for you!

The theme this time: "Break what tries to break you!"
Songs and albums that are not afraid to speak truth to power and sound good while doing it!

Have a listen, enjoy and maybe pick a thing or two for yourself!

II: Thy Desolation, by Fathomless 7 track album

in between plugging my own music today, you should also definitely pre-order the next @fathomlessmetal.bsky.social album. This is going to be a fucking BANGER

The first single "Honor and Glory" is available now!
