P.I.L.’s “The Order of Death” with a ’15 flashback to the Fonda

Public Image Ltd perform at the Fonda Theatre on 11.29.15.
I've got one final post for August, which I'm attempting to squeeze into this semi-spotty workday. It means I'll probably be penning this in fits and spurts throughout the day. But with any luck, I'll have a semi-coherent piece on today's featured artist, Public Image Ltd.My original intention was to post P.I.L. (as they're commonly …

Bauhaus perform for potentially the final time ever at the Hollywood Palladium on 12.01.19.

“Cloud Hopping” with Alien Mutation & Indigo Egg

Alien Mutation and Indigo Egg's 1996 album "Microcosm Macrocosm," featuring the single "Cloud Hopping."
I was working late this eve, and there were some discussions about ambient electronic music. It occurred to me that I haven't really delved too deeply into this part of my past. I used to be way deep into psy-ambient, dub, and chill-out electronica. It was my go-to when things got rough or uneasy, an …
