#Exploding Flowers

[bandcampsnoop]

1/8/25.

Interesting that the new Exploding Flowers album "Watermelon/Peacock" came across my radar while I was listening to Club 8. That was one of my easiest transitions between snooping listens I can recall.

This is our 3rd Exploding Flowers post in the past 5 years. There is only one song currently available for listen. The first half has a Club 8 (from the new release) vibe, while the instrumental outro recalls the finest work of Yo La Tengo, or David Kilgour. This song has fuller sound, less power poppy sound, than earlier Exploding Flowers (Los Angeles, California) releases.

The Bandcamp write-up gives a good summary of the bands background:

Led by Sharif Dumani who has worked with a variety of artists which include Alice Bag, Cody Chesnutt, Sex Stains, the Moon Upstairs, Classics Of Love, Nick Garrie, Jowe Head, Nikki Sudden, Silver Apples and many more, the quartet is comprised of members Josh Mancell (the Moon Upstairs, Cell\Borg), Happy Tsugawa-Banta (Lassie Foundation, Ray Barbee), and Mark Sogomian (the Moon Upstairs).

"Watermelon/Peacock" will be released by Meritorio Records, but U.S. orders will ship, as usual, from Jigsaw Records.

Novedades musicales: febrero 2025

Ya está aquí la segunda recopilación de novedades de 2025. Y, al igual que la anterior, viene de lo más cargadita. 70 canciones donde hay nuevos temas de Destroyer, Patrick Wolf, Ezra Furman, Bon Iver, Beirut, Courtney Barnett, Japanese Breakfast, o Tennis. Todas ellas estupendas, pero, si tengo que elegir una canción de esta recopilación, me quedo con el nuevo single de Preoccupations, que me…

after buck and eddie get together, eddie starts giving buck absentminded kisses all the time.

kiss on the forehead after he passes him his morning coffee. kiss on the cheek while buck is cooking dinner. kiss on the back of his hand as buck drives them to bobby’s house for a family bbq. kiss on top of his head while they cuddle watching a documentary. kiss on his shoulder while they sit on the station couch reading in between calls.

but buck’s favorite kisses? the ones edde blows him from a distance. when no one is looking during a call and they have to separate, buck doing evac and eddie treating some minor burns. when buck is pulling out of the their driveway to go meet maddie and jee for lunch and eddie sees him off from the front porch. during their family night out at the movies with chris in between them before the action film their son chose and they’re both probably going to hate begins.

every single blown kiss is always followed by eddie mouthing “i love you” at him, and every single time buck feels himself start to blush, the butterflies in his stomach staging a very chaotic and uncoordinated flash mob.

there’s something so exhilarating about knowing that no matter how close or far away they physically are eddie always wants to be kissing him. like eddie knows just as well as buck does that his lips were always meant to graze buck’s skin and leave behind goosebumps for hours to come.

even when they can’t see each other at all, buck knows eddie is thinking about it too because eddie does not go more than 3 hours without sending him little 😘 emojis. he doesn’t say anything else, doesn’t contextualize them because he doesn’t need to. it's just random 😘 throughout the day, scattered in between the rest of their texts.

buck [3:33pm]: got caught in traffic, chris and i will be there soon! eddie [3:33pm]: ok, hen and denny just arrived eddie [6:03pm]: 😘

&

eddie [11:27am]: can you write “chris dentist appointment” on the kitchen calendar for 10/17? buck [11:31am]: done! eddie [11:32am]: thanks, baby eddie [2:16pm]: 😘

&

buck [10:08am]: we also need eggs! buck [11:43am]: remind me to replace the lightbulb in chris’s bedside lamp eddie [1:14pm]: 😘 eddie [3:09pm]: your amazon package just arrived buck [3:09pm]: yaaaaaaay eddie [7:24pm]: 😘

&

eddie [6:02am]: 😘 eddie [8:56am]: 😘 eddie [9:07am]: 😘 eddie [12:31pm]: 😘 buck [3:17pm]: 😘😘😘

Whenever I’m sad I think about that scene in the odyssey where odysseus sees achilles, patroclus and antilochus frolicking in the asphodel fields together and then I am reminded that love and joy is real

Novedades musicales: enero 2025

Supongo que todos los años pasas lo mismo, pero la verdad es que no recuerdo un enero con tantas novedades musicales como este. Es más, pensaba poner esta recopilación la semana que viene, pero he tenido que cortar aquí porque a este paso me iba a ir a las 100 canciones. Y es que, a los nuevos adelantos de discos que ya se anunciaron en 2024, como los de Horsegirl, Sharon Van Etten, The Horrors,…
