It’s basically impossible to have an opinion on that record without also thinking about what I put into it back when I loved it. If I heard it now, free of that childhood formative memory, I’m not sure what I’d think of it. ## [Into Dawn](https://ccmixter.org/files/hansatom/71108) _2026-08-22 · Hans Atom · ccMixter (electronic)_ Madam Snowflake's poem "Only Mars" traces twenty-five years through the movement of planets, and ends with fiery metal turned into dawn. That last line gave me the title and the whole direction. It may be a bit too anthemic for the retrospective of a life. But I only wish Snowfalke for the best and reaching out for the stars. Thank you so much for that beautiful inspiring poem pella! Thank you so… [Listen](https://ccmixter.org/content/hansatom/hansatom_-_Into_Dawn_1.mp3) ## [Among The Living - Anthrax (1987)](https://listenofthe.day//2026/08/21/among-the-living-anthrax.html) _2026-08-21 · Listen Of The Day_ I have this thing I keep noticing about, I guess I’d call it the granularity of time. ## [Villains - The Verve Pipe (1996)](https://listenofthe.day//2026/08/20/villains-the-verve-pipe.html) _2026-08-20 · Listen Of The Day_ People love to use the phrases “underrated” and “overrated” to describe music. As if there was ever any consensus about pretty much any piece of music, and as if you could gauge that properly. When it comes down to it, “overrated” just means “other people like it but I don’t get it” while “underrated” means “I like it but others either haven’t heard of it or don’t like it.” Both valid and… ## [Misery - OKADA (2018)](https://listenofthe.day//2026/08/19/misery-okada.html) _2026-08-19 · Listen Of The Day_ The American northwest seems to be home to dozens of interesting downtempo electronic and bedroom producers, many of whom seem to be tailored specifically to my brain chemistry. ## [Dancing In The Dragon’s Jaws - Bruce Cockburn (1979)](https://listenofthe.day//2026/08/18/dancing-in-the-dragons-jaws-bruce-cockburn.html) _2026-08-18 · Listen Of The Day_ Finding new things, especially when you’re young, is often about what you hadn’t heard before. There’s nothing new under the sun, and when something sounds new to you it’s often because you hadn’t encountered what came before it. ## [Let Love Rule - Lenny Kravitz (1989)](https://listenofthe.day//2026/08/17/let-love-rule-lenny-kravitz.html) _2026-08-17 · Listen Of The Day_ I suppose the first time I came across Lenny Kravitz was the title track’s video on MTV. It’s a slow builder that ends up in a ripping psych-soul fervor, which certainly got my attention. ## [Backbeat Songs From The Original Motion Picture - The Backbeat Band (1994)](https://listenofthe.day//2026/08/16/backbeat-soundtrack-the-backbeat-band.html) _2026-08-16 · Listen Of The Day_ Vacation time: I’m on a family road trip, so I’m leveraging my large backlog of un-Substacked blog posts.

It has just about everything you’d want from the sound, except maybe anything to distinguish it from a different artist. My project demands that I listen all the way through a record, though, and I’m glad I did. Because once you find a way into it, you hear a lot more than just generic post rock. They do the… ## [Real Lessons In Cynicism - Soccer Team (2015)](https://listenofthe.day//2026/08/04/real-lessons-in-cynicism-soccer-team.html) _2026-08-04 · Listen Of The Day_ Put this on the list on a recommendation from punk icon Henry Rollins (probably read it in this piece though I’m not sure) Soccer Teams’s first record was a two-person home recording project from two employees at DC indie label Dischord Records. They re-formed several years later with a 4-piece lineup but the same analog DIY aesthetic and recorded this tight batch of songs.

Apart from adding a touch of vocal processing, I chose to leave her performance largely untouched, preserving its natural warmth and allowing the arrangement to breathe with an open, laid-back feel.
