"Berkeley singer-songwriter Spellling makes beautifully layered, experimental pop tracks using just her keyboard, voice, and loop pedal, weaving compositions that evoke avant-pop artists such as FKA Twigs and Björk — East Bay Express"
This Friday! Happy to spread the word that there is a Spellling and Kohinoorgasm split, August 5th, at One Farm in West Oakland. Check out what is sure to be a good show.

Not writing much about music ever, but felt compelled to share new music from SFs Painted Palms. I checked up on Butterfly Bones, a band that I enjoyed around SF, and found out that they have evolved into Painted Palms. Looks like they recently got some love from Kevin Barnes and just released a new EP out on Polyvinyl records. Their song "Click", which I dig a ton, is streaming at consequence of sound. Side note, if you ever visted me when I lived in SF, the EP album cover is a photo of my old back yard. It's a crazy small world. –Tim
A short clip of Why? performing January Twenty Something at the New Parish in Oakland - 3/5/13. On a technical note, I needed a digital camera for everyday stuff and ended up with a fujifilm x-f1 point and shoot. So far I am happy with my purchase. I like the images that it makes, and am also pretty impressed that it can take video in such lowlight conditions. —Tim
The THIRD annual BIT BY ZEUS Halloween mixtape. The 666kb upload size lets me know it's ready to go. Happy Halloween.
The second annual BIT BY ZEUS Halloween Mixtape. In the same vein as last years, but probably not as good. Happy Halloween!
Hello. Musical month in Oakland. Here are two upcoming bills that I am very excited to attend. First, Oakland's favorite record store,1-2-3-4-go! records, is turning ten. Look at this bill.
Then Seattles, The Trashies, brought to my attention that they will be playing this upcoming bill.
The trashies also have an album coming out this week, so here's a sweet new tune to check out and see you at the show.
Took the advice from the guy at 1234gorecords today and picked up the new album from Human Eye: They Came from the Sky. Needless to say, It flat out rules. guys are pushing it. Really not many places to listen to the album online, so preview instant favorite track: the movie was real and if you dig it, then buy the album.
I have been way too into this new album by Shannon and the Clams. Here's their new video for "Sleep Talk" via theBayBridged dig it!
Our friends the Kepler Mission are keeping it real down in LA; a new ep, a summer tour lined up, and plans to take over playing their music "to the tempo of space". Here's some photos I took last weekend of TKM playing an incognito show in SB. Download there ep for free on there site, and check them out at the ROXY this weekend if you live in LA.
