Olivia Dean was my first. I recently snuck into her play a Super Bowl party at Pier 48 with Shaboozey opening. So I had to see Sombr next. Sombr played just before The Backstreet Boys on the main stage at BottleRock 2026. His set was a lot better than expected. I have many issues with Sombr's social media strategy–listen to… ## [Songs to see @ SXSW 2026](https://silencenogood.net/sxsw-2026/) _2026-05-01 · Zechmann · Silence Nogood_ My 9th year at SXSW. So I thought it was a good time to name my favorite performances since 2016 and go a little deeper into 2026. · 2016 : Tickle Torture @ The Iron Bear with a lubed up set more erotic than Prince. · 2017 : Duckwrth @ Banger's playing a most vibrant day-party set. · 2018 : Joey Dosik @ Zilker Park . A pop up in the park was picnic perfect. · 2019 : Celeste @ St David's Church .… ## [Persona-led AI publishing (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/excRsmRVLdrL) _2026-05-01 · **Sponsored**_ Generate drafts, schedule subdomain publishing, and keep human review where needed. ## [Music of the Year, 2025](https://silencenogood.net/2025-best-music/) _2026-02-02 · Zechmann · Silence Nogood_ It’s perplexing that a 52-card deck has more combinations than atoms in the known universe, meaning every shuffle is likely the first time that specific order has ever existed. If you apply that conundrum to a music playlist, even a "Top 10" would result in a distinct playlist from everyone on Earth (if we all made one). My top 10 's top 1 was Olivia Dean, and I'm sure many others (it's been her… ## [Apefest Las Vegas](https://silencenogood.net/apefest-las-vegas/) _2025-11-11 · Zechmann · Silence Nogood_ Thread work by ctballer\_ Yuga Labs' Apefest is the future of festivals. It’s less about what happened at their 5th year in Las Vegas during ComplexCon and more about what happens before and after. Composability is key to any festival or community’s longevity. After 15 years of covering live events, I see most people stay within their own friend groups that don’t mix often enough with others.… ## [Classic Summer](https://silencenogood.net/classic-summer-playlist/) _2025-07-26 · Zechmann · Silence Nogood_ Music from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and now the 90s carries a nostalgic warmth that feels perfect for summer. Like our Late Night Jazz series, I’ve been pulling together definitive lists from the 20th century, and Classic Summer is the latest for a hot summer day. It was meant to drop the 4th of July, 2020, but like all good comprehensive playlists, it took way more time than any person should put… ## [Songs to See at BottleRock, 2025](https://silencenogood.net/bottlerock-2025-remi-wolf/) _2025-06-02 · Zechmann · Silence Nogood_ My two favorite live performances of 2024 were Mon Laferte at Festival La Onda (BottleRock's sister festival) and Jalen Ngonda at The Swedish American Music Hall . This year both played BottleRock 2025, but I didn't get to see either. I intended to once again see the Queen of latin musical dramas, Mon Laferte, at BottleRock on Friday, but she had to postpone her show until Saturday. I couldn't… ## [Mill Valley Music Festival 2025](https://silencenogood.net/sunday-soul-mill-valley-music-festival-2025/) _2025-05-17 · Zechmann · Silence Nogood_ Mill Valley Music Festival has been a go-to for its intimate charm and consistent selection of soul. 2025 marked its fifth year running and my fourth time going. My top three shows have been Thee Sacred Souls in 2024, La Doña in 2022, and Durand Jones in 2023, but they had some hefty competition this year. Sunday was packed with soul— Thee Sinseers & Monoponics with their retro style, Sister Nancy… ## [Songs to see at SXSW, 2025](https://silencenogood.net/sxsw-2025/) _2025-04-29 · Zechmann · Silence Nogood_ 10 years at SXSW. Technically 2020 shut down and 2021 was online, but 10 years I've been enjoying a city filled with live music more dense, diverse, and good than anywhere in the world. This was the first time I went to weekend one, which is the main attraction for the conference. It was informative. I got to see Ben Stiller talk Severance – the best show in the past 10 years – and something dear… ## [Music of the Year, 2024](https://silencenogood.net/2024-best-music/) _2025-02-03 · Zechmann · Silence Nogood_ The debate over whether a musician's legacy lies in an album or a single is more contentious than ever as music shortens and singles dominate the internet. While both clearly play a role (like all good things), I lean toward the single. The album is too rare for me. I'll take it a step further, it's not just the single, but more specifically a moment within the song that defines the musician.… ## [Introducing Daily Goodies](https://silencenogood.net/daily-goodies/) _2024-11-27 · Zechmann · Silence Nogood_ Daily Goodies is like no other playlist we've made before. Every other playlist has been static with very little updates, but this list updates at least a few times a week. Ideally daily. We also clip the best moment of each song, cut a video to match, and upload to Instagram and TikTok . Follow along.

You can tell his voice is more than a 70's soul knockoff in his recordings alone, but it's nothing like hearing him live 10 feet away. Not even one of my favorite musicians over the past 5 years, Aaron Frazer, who had the song at my wedding's first dance, could showcase live like Ngonda. I saw Frazer… ## [Make any domain metal (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/J8cwxJSMfq8a) _2024-10-12 · **Sponsored**_ Turn any domain into a blacked-out metal landing page with an email waitlist ## [Aaron Frazer on High](https://silencenogood.net/aaron-frazer-the-independent-sf/) _2024-09-14 · Zechmann · Silence Nogood_ I remember the first time I heard Aaron Frazer. With Durand Jones & The (rest of the) Indications at Outside Lands in 2018. Durand and his band were one of the most memorable sets of the 8 years I've been to OSL . Most memorable was hearing a high pitched vocalist in the band but took me a good 3 songs to figure out who it was. The drummer in the back, Aaron Frazer. Now he is very much in front.…
