59. Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy

It's just a long-standing part of rock and roll kayfabe that you claim to disregard conventional wisdom and play by your own rules.

So much so, in fact, that it can be jarring when someone actually lives up to that ideal.

The endless war of a dying Republic is a tale as old as Rome.

Vaporslime Tape Vol 40 is uploaded and ready to drop on Sunday.

YouTube video by The Monkees - Topic [I'm Not Your] Steppin' Stone

58. The Monkees - (I'm not your) Steppin' Stone

I got into The Monkees primarily through re-runs on the TV show, and gradually grew to appreciate the music.

57. The Delgados - Get Action!

One of the challenges of getting into alternative music is curation. Great music is always being made, it's a question of knowing where to look and who to check out.

In the early 00s, my sources were still pretty solid.

56. Rush - Tom Sawyer

Did I mention I'm Canadian?
Rush are a delightful blend of superb musicianship and sometimes questionable philosophy (they were young and it was the 70s). At their best, they'd do prog rock without abandoning rock.

55. Rick James - Super Freak

I vaguely knew through pop culture osmosis that "U Can't Touch This" sampled Super Freak. Sampling was still a new concept for me, so hearing this song was kind of surreal.

Let's be honest, the original is better.

YouTube video by KEXP Angine de Poitrine - Fabienk (Live on KEXP)

I'm officially hopping onto the Angine De Poitrine bandwagon.

YouTube video by Tommy James - Topic Crimson and Clover (Long Version)

#365Songs
54. Tommy James and the Shondells - Crimson and Clover

I have a very distinct memory of being in the car when this song came on, thinking the radio was broken, and my parents explaining that some bands like to experiment with unusual sounds.

YouTube video by Jaspertine Jaspertine - Muted Warning

And here's the song from last night's livestream.

This one very nearly went over the time limit, so the "mixing" phase was pretty much just setting the levels while listening to the track one last time and hoping for the best.

YouTube video by Moby - Topic Natural Blues

#365Songs
53. Moby - Natural Blues

By putting dance beats to gospel blues samples, Moby created a masterpiece. None of my edgelord friends would go near it out of a revulsion for anything religious.

Time to start getting set up for my Saturday night music production livestream. I'll be making a new track in a 2 hour window, and NO AI WHATSOEVER will be used.

YouTube video by PortisheadVEVO Portishead - Only You

#365Songs
52. Portishead - Only You

For a period in my teen years, I felt it necessary to maintain an image of myself as a hard rock/goth purist, so anything that didn't fit that mold needed to be enjoyed in secret.

Becoming a hipster was actually liberating.

YouTube video by Better Offline Hater Season: Caleb Wilson, Juniper and Arif Hasan | Better Offline

"... and the Tech World is like 'You Will Like AI, and you will not complain about it, and if you do, We are the Victims.'"

This encapsulates every conversation I've had with AI boosters.

YouTube video by TOOLVEVO TOOL - Eulogy (Audio)

#365Songs
51. Tool - Eulogy

This song is quite the journey. As a teenager, I was merely impressed with long songs for length's sake (read that how you will) but this song breathes and develops, rather than just going on and on for the sake of it.

Time to start setting up for my live improvised music stream. I'll be doing a 1-hour set of made up on the spot music.

Stream starts in about an hour (8:00PM EST)

YouTube video by Björk - Topic Hunter

#365Songs
50. Björk - Hunter

Björk has carved out an interesting space for herself, with one foot in pop music and the other comfortably planted in the avant-garde. Still accessible, while being the weirdest musician your normie friends are aware of.

YouTube video by Sonic Youth - Topic Sunday

49. Sonic Youth - Sunday

I remember being shown a clip of SY playing this song on Letterman, seeing Lee Ronaldo playing the slide up past the fretboard and being like "wait, you're allowed to DO that?"

YouTube video by Queen Official Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody (Official Video Remastered)

48. Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody

Of the generation who were introduced to this song by that one scene in Wayne's World. I still bob my head at that one part.

If there's one thing Wall-Street learned from the Sup-Prime Mortgage Crisis, it's nothing at all.

Actually a pretty apt comparison if you ask me.

Team John Frusciante.

If you hadn't said what this was. I'd have assumed it was a screenshot from a videogame cutscene.

YouTube video by Jaspertine Jaspertine - Pink Lemonade

And here's the song from last night's livestream.

Some elements got a little buried in the mix, but it kinda worked out.

46. The Pixies - Where is My Mind?

For the younger generations, this may be hard to believe, but there was a time when the Pixies were relatively obscure. My introduction to Where is My Mind was the ending to Fight Club.

Yeah, I just found that out. Really Sad.
