On the channel this week, we’ve had a plethora of great music and conversation. If you missed it you can catch up here. Hopefully between Agalloch, Caravan, Candlemass and Bob Dylan, you found something worth watching and listening to! Looking forward to next week already! Cheers, Jim Agalloch – The Mantle, parts 1, 2 andContinue reading “#24 – W/C 8th April 2024 on Adventures In Music”

#22 – W/C 1st April 2024 on Adventures In Music
In an effort to try and organise and collate the somewhat overwhelming level of content on my sprawling and sometimes impenetrable YouTube channel, I am publishing a new blog post each week showcasing the videos I uploaded with appropriate tags. I hope this makes it easy to navigate and keep track of my content. IContinue reading “#22 – W/C 1st April 2024 on Adventures In Music”

As marketing campaigns go, it’s a doozie! Get everyone else to shout from the rooftops what Spotify has done for them. Every other socialContinue reading “#16 – Is Spotify Actually Evil?”
#15 – The Phenomenon of Ren
This weekend has seen the culmination and result of a coordinated campaign to get a new album to perform as well as possible at its release. There’s nothing remarkable or new about that for sure. But the real story here is who, how, why and where. Ren’s album Sick Boi has just claimed the numberContinue reading “#15 – The Phenomenon of Ren”
#14 – Haken (rhymes with bacon!)
There’s something slightly ubiquitous about progressive music and beards. No one exemplifies that more than London based Haken. Whilst the photo above might look like the mug shots for a diamond heist gang from the East End, it is in fact a picture of prog metal supremos Haken. I first heard these guys in 2018,Continue reading “#14 – Haken (rhymes with bacon!)”
