The Ramona Flowers Official Site

After Dark 2 Compilation Free Download

It's been a while that I've actually written anything on this blog instead of just posting a video of a song that I'm enjoying.
As someone who really enjoyed random electronic music from the underground during the early 80s when people would just experiment with all the very basic electronic tools available to them at home, I instantly fell in love with the recent trend of bands like Glass Candy and The Chromatics to recapture that age of discovery and experimentation.
This compilation from Johnny Jewel is perfect if you're like me and just need some chill, almost montage music when you're working on projects late into the night or when you decide it's time to go for a drive with the windows down at 3am with no particular destination in mind.
The entire compilation is a free download so if you don't snag it, you're missing out. What I also like is that it's a new version of an old genre that two different generations can totally enjoy.
While this compilation is almost six years old now, it's still a fantastic collection of sounds from the genre and this trend has yet to bubble up in the states (it always takes forever for music trends to become 'a thing' here).
Enjoy and you're welcome!

Joey Ramone - "New York City"

Just amazing and almost makes me wish I was from New York...but I'm not. I'm from Hemet. Ew.
