John,
Good morning. Or is it? Well, it's morning. Let's go with that. I could use a "you're not alone" after being dumped last night, and perhaps a song to pick me up on this not so fine morning. I know things will be better. Just down atm. Headed to Bellingham, so I'll be listening for a few hours. Hoping to clear my head with the help of music. Thank you for doing what you do.
Brian
From the band's 15th British and 17th American studio album.

Hi John! Thanks for always making our mornings in Houston better by playing the music that helps remind us that we are not alone. You always drop the best music knowledge, you blew my mind yesterday when you shared that Dizzie Rascal (and 300+ others) used Billy Squier's "Big Beat".
If you can, can you please play "Changes" by Antonio Williams (Antwan), Kerry McCoy (Deafheaven) from their collaborative single "25th street sessions.
Cheers and love,
Eric

Peel is the musical partnership of Sean Cimino and Isom Innis; both multi-instrumentalists, as well as a visual artist and producer respectively. The project was born from a month-long recording session between the two artists within Innis’s concrete loft, above The Orpheum Theatre in downtown Los Angeles. The cavernous space served as an industrial incubator for musical experimentation: where fleets of sewing machines once reverberated in the 1930s with metallic rhythms, now echoed the sounds of drums, amps, and modular synthesizers.
“Rom-Com” was their first song ever written as Peel. On it, the two create a wall of sound paired with a hypnotic groove that takes you out of your head and into a moment. “We are obsessed with records like Second Edition (Public Image Ltd.) and The Pleasure Principle (Gary Numan); records where spirit and improvisation guide expression. The lyrics, deriving from stream-of consciousness, are from the perspective of trying to find your existential footing in the cyclical information spiral,” explains Innis.
“Rom-Com” is available across all digital platforms today via Innovative Leisure. The single also comes paired with a live recording and video entitled Broadcast 006 which is also included on PEEL – out October 16.

LOVING the mashups!!
The other day I was listening to U2 - Lady with the Spinning Head and I heard mashup potential to blend in Siouxsie & the Banshees - Kiss Them for Me. I think both songs came out in the same year(?)
Give a listen and see what you think
Thanks for another day of great music

..session drummer Hal Blaine found a spot for the drums in front of an elevator in the Columbia offices. The recording of the drum was recorded as the song was being played live by the musicians. Blaine would pound the drums at the end of the "Lie la lie" vocals that were playing in his headphones, and at one point, an elderly security guard got a big surprise when he came out of the elevator and was startled by Blaine's thunderous drums. Hal Blaine recounted the recording process, "There we were with all these mic cables, my drums, and a set of headphones," says Blaine. "When the chorus came around — the 'lie-la-lie' bit — Roy had me come down on my snare drum as hard as I could. In that hallway, by the elevator shaft, it sounded like a cannon shot! Which was just the kind of sound we were after."
Playing Showbox SoDo on Wed, May 4, 2022!
