Entries about the music I like.
Mclusky – Mclusky Do Dallas
The components of a Mclusky track are simple: Falco’s shout-singing, supported by his hooky guitar and John Chapple’s crunchy, riffy bass, both distorted to the max, backed by Jack Egglestone’s four-bar metronomic battering of studio drums recorded in the natural, live-sound style of Steve Albini. Music like this is cathartic, a strange sort of meditation.
Punk music
At the start of the covid crisis, I started sharing happy dispatches including a few of my favourite things to make it easier to get through the crisis. This dispatch includes a playlist of punk music and its several offshoots: post-punk, pop-punk, hardcore, post-hardcore & new wave.
