  • Danger Dan - Keine Angst | hhv.de
    • “Keine Angst” by Danger Dan is being released on the Warner label and has been announced as an LP; the album relies consistently on piano accompaniment and ties in with the artist’s previous solo records. The arrangements remain deliberately stripped-down, bringing the vocals and lyrics to the fore. Musically, the work combines folk-like melodies with punk directness and a melancholic yet angry tone that shapes the character of the songs. Danger Dan’s background as a member of Antilopen Gang and his success with the song “Das ist alles von der Kunstfreiheit gedeckt” provide the contextual foundation for the new material; here, political sharpness meets personal reflection. Thematically, the lyrics range from fear and hope to life and death, on to social responsibility and small everyday stories. The songs’ words weave matter-of-fact observations together with ironic and contemplative moments. As a follow-up project to his piano works, “Keine Angst” explicitly positions itself as a contributi

  • Album Review: Fat Dog - Cancel Me (I'm Tired) - | mxdwn Music | Oct. 20, 2026, 1:49 a.m.
    • Fat Dog has never been a band interested in making music that sits quietly in the background. Their latest album, Cancel Me (I’m Tired), arrives like a sonic car crash between a nightclub, a punk show and some sort of bizarre late-night fever dream. The South London seven-piece have built their reputation on

  • Fat Dog: Cancel Me (I’m Tired) | Spectrum Culture | Oct. 8, 2026, 5:02 a.m.

I'm a fan of Spotify for music discovery and easy access to tunes on my devices. And Spotify's API was critical to building this website. But I know that Spotify is not the best way to financially support the artists I love. So, when I find myself listening to an album repeatedly I make a point of purchasing it via Bandcamp or a local record store. And I buy tickets to see musicians live (and often purchase merch at the venue.) I hope users of this site will do the same.

Similarly, as a longtime public media journalist, I know that it takes considerable time and energy to produce the articles linked here. Please also support those writers and journalists. Subscribe to the sites you visit the most, or leave a donation where that's an option.
