#Minisnap

[bandcampsnoop]

9/14/23.

The Australian music scene has been strong for the past 15 years. From "dolewave" to driving post-punk to punk, many of my favorite bands have come from down under.

Soft Covers (Melbourne, Australia) is one of the best new Australian bands I've heard in a while. Listen, and you might not think they sound much different from Go Get Mum, The Stroppies or Boomgates. And you know what, you might be partly right. But those vocals, melodies and hooks are just astounding. "The Real Housewives of Porpoise Spit" is one of my favorite songs of 2023, and "Every Week" sounds like it could be an early Chills song (or The Bats/Minisnap: Kaye Woodward!!).

This is being released by Brisbane-based label Little Lunch Records (they also released the excellent LP from Renovator's Delight).

the weekly #8

11-22-21

so this playlist doesn't flow very well at all, but the idea is there. i'm settling into a new type of loneliness, one that doesn't sting, but one that isn't warm or gentle. it's tidy, well-kept, the walls still blank. i spend my days in a well-lit basement, new floors, old windows.

tampa is finally behind me, but only by five hours and a few weeks. i wonder if in june i could have figured i'd be in savannah by november. my words are still stuck in july, in thought and theory. i really thought i would be able to release them, but the timing wasn't right and now they'll sit stagnant for a few more years. i can't imagine that things won't come around again.

here's what i've been listening to since i moved to savannah two weeks ago. i've created commas, measured columns and rows, watched the gap in my knowledge widen.

springlike - hiroshi fujiwara

slumbers 2 / 2020

it's not anywhere close to being spring but it is the beginning of winter and driving up barnard through fog and leaving the research center into dusk feels as dreamy as this.

the super it - stereolab

electrically possessed (switched on, vol. 4) / 2021

i've been electrically possessed by stereolab is only legible if you're walking by my parked car or stopped close enough behind me at a stop light. so consistently good, always on my mind, always what i want to hear. vaguely hurried, but for what, to where? it's tangled in the moss hanging from the looming oak trees, trailing softly from a flashing pedestrian walkway signal, caught in the whisp of vapor that fills my car as soon as i shut the door and start the engine.

message from home - broadcast

work and non work / 1997

the view is clear this time of year, i knew you'd throw it away. things have cleared up, i'm no longer clouded by what i wound so tightly around myself this year. and now i'm popping popcorn by nine, clearing the sink and turning off the lights before ten. five minutes is a long time, especially at the end of the night.

she's history - mega bog

happy together / 2017

we're getting warmer, only slightly hazy. i try to make it to the library before six, i'll have to remember to return in twenty-one days. nothing but a cookbook with one corner turned down, pasta that's been sealed in tupperware since wednesday, in the trash by monday. carrots for lunch, dinner started by six. the day divides amongst itself at six, structure absent from both sides.

heart cooks brain - modest mouse

the lonesome crowded west / 1997

i walk through this song, the riff walks through me. i get refilled throughmyears and my heart's the long stairs. i drive when i should walk instead, i scroll when i should read. there's nothing driving me, the only thing propelling me is the cool new clock i bought over the weekend, leaving for work by 8:40, parked by 8:50, at my desk by nine. absence versus thin air.

before i got here - palberta

palberta5000 / 2021

i'm getting tired, still need to finish the dishes in the sink, brush my teeth. this a thoroughly enjoyable album. jumpy, slightly delirious, but nowhere near losing it. controlled disillusion, not quite gone yet. it made more sense in january, waiting in the parking lot at the dentist's office.

new broom - minisnap

minisnap / 2008

i was under the impression that it was 2004, maybe 2005 at the latest. august lingers into november, it'll be gone by december. maybe i'll get a grip on it by then, eight days from now will be different than it was eight prior.

10/6/23.

I'm still incredibly sad about the passing of Hamish Kilgour. It was nearly a year ago that I found out. He meant so much to me musically - his solo albums, The Clean, The Great Unwashed, The Mad Scene and The Sundae Painters.

I'm so grateful that Leather Jacket Records (Christchurch, New Zealand) is releasing a full LP of material from the collaborative band The Sundae Painters. The band is made up of Kaye Woodward and Paul Kean (The Bats, and Minisnap), Alec Bathgate (Tall Dwarfs and solo) and Hamish Kilgour (above bands plus a ton more). Not only are we getting an eight-song LP, but the artwork is clearly the work of Hamish as well.

Only "Sweet Dreams" is available, but what a bittersweet song. It sounds like Hamish is singing, and I really pray that he is enjoying some sweet sweet dreams wherever he is.

Listen/purchase: New Broom by MINISNAP

[bandcampsnoop]

8/23/23.

Can there be such a thing as Glenn Donaldson saturation. If there is, I'm not there yet. Helpful People (San Francisco) is yet another project from the wildly prolific talent behind The Reds, Pinks and Purples (among many, many more...follow the hashtag trail). On this project he joins Carly Putnam (The Oilies, The Mantles).

This is lo-fi indie pop that is a bit less languid than The Reds, Pinks and Purples. And Putnam's vocals are quite melodic and maybe less wispy. Donaldson provides great harmonies on the two songs available here.

This IS AVAILABLE for preorder from Tall Texan. That's the good news. The bad news is that this same label reissued Minisnap's excellent "Bounce" album on LP and it's already sold out. In fact, the vibe and sound of Helpful People does bring to mind both Minisnap and The Bats.
