Another amazing record I forgot to blog about this year was Nomen Novum 's Fresh Petroglyphs . It was originally intended to be a Christmas album, so maybe this is the perfect time to post it anyway. I'll let David Norbery himself tell you about it via the record's bandcamp page: I began working on this project on November 28th, after hearing Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas is You" on V103, "The People's Station." I had decided to make a Christmas EP, but as soon as I started recording, all [...]

Digging this sample+loop-infused pop from Atlanta's Nomen Novum - thanks to Ad Hoc for the tip. And if the dude behind this would like to send me a zip of his last album, I'd be very open to receiving it... Anita, Korea by Nomen Novum Luminosity by Nomen Novum

Atlanta's greatest just delivered us an epic remix. It's a breezy saturday afternoon. They're pouring you another glass of moscato at Saks, where you just dropped $8K on a coat and a couple of belts. Someone (Reggie?) is trying to talk to you, but you're staring off into space, with this good old fashioned tune buzzing in your head. [...]

I picked a bad time to take a long vacation from this blog because the beginning of 2012 has been one of the best periods in local record releases since I've been paying attention. In a few weeks, I'll be back to blogging regularly again and I plan to post on everything worthwhile that's come out this year, but for now, I want to talk a little bit about the one album that sits high above the rest: Nomen Novum 's If You Look For It, It's There . What stands out most about this [...]

If You Look For It, It’s There by Nomen Novum

Back in 2009, I listened to approximately 75 records that came out of Atlanta that year. This year, I blogged about roughly 75 records, and for every album I discussed, there were at least five I listened to and didn't blog about. The quantity of music being made in this city is growing exponentially, and the Atlanta music scene runs extraordinarily deep. So needless to say, this was the most difficult year-end list to put together yet. On a technical note, my 2011 year-end list eligibility extends through the 2010 holiday season because I like to be [...]

Now that this blog only covers local music, I decided that all of my year-end lists this year will be Atlanta music specific. There's plenty of sites that do national/international lists anyway. So then, this is my 40 favourite songs of the year by artists affiliated with Atlanta. I spent a lot of time with each of these songs, and if you are unfamiliar with any of them, I strongly suggest you click on the song titles below to give them a listen. 40. "Black Leaves" by [...]

Atlanta has quite a few record labels doing cool things right now, but one of the best new labels to crop up recently is Primitive Patterns.

Hey! Thought we forgot about this, eh? Nah... Next time I leave the country for a month, I will also leave access to the hard drive where all my files are located. So we're still aiming to re-post all of the Blogophilia volumes by summer's end. Today we have volumes 5 & 6, which feature promotional MP3s available during May and June of 2009. As always, these are gapless mixes with cover art. These are only up for a limited time, so get them now! - [...]
