 Twenty years ago, the Australian band Taxiride surprised their fans with *Electrophobia*, a very special album in their discography. Released in September 2006, this work departed from the traditional studio format to offer an acoustic repertoire in which the group revisited songs from their first three albums with new arrangements and a much more intimate, organic performance style. The recordings took place in a Melbourne church—a setting that lent the project a warm atmosphere and distinctive acoustics.  With *Electrophobia*, Taxiride demonstrated the versatility of a band that always knew how to blend melodic pop-rock with polished vocal harmonies and a strong classic rock influence. Far from merely reinterpreting their greatest hits, the group offered fresh takes on tracks such as "Can You Feel," "Get Set," "Everywhere You Go," and "Everything's Changed," highlighting the quality of their songwriting and the strength of melodies that worked just as well without the electric instr

 Anna Graves is one of the new voices in Americana worth keeping a close eye on. Raised on a farm in Minnesota, Graves grew up surrounded by music and nature before leaving first for Nashville and then Los Angeles in pursuit of a music career. That experience of chasing success, distancing herself from her roots, and finally returning to Minnesota has become a fundamental part of her artistic identity. In recent years, she has been building her own path, with songs like "Fly," featured in a key moment of the Netflix series Nobody Wants This, and has shared the stage with artists such as Stevie Nicks, Maren Morris, and The Head and the Heart.  Musically, Anna Graves moves in a territory where folk, country, Americana, and certain cinematic pop nuances converge. Her work has a significant narrative dimension: the songs draw from personal experiences and small, everyday details, transforming them into stories of vulnerability, loss, learning, and recovery. Her sound blends the intimacy of

 Get out of here! Hell really must have frozen over, or we definitely got swapped into a different timeline, because a true once-in-a-millennium miracle finally happened.

The big day was September 5, 2026, and honestly, the hype was off the charts.

Surprisingly, they rolled up calm, greeted the crowd, and were even seen exchanging a word or two without anyone needing medical attention.The documentary promises a deep dive into the madness that was Oasis: the massive hits, the legendary backstage blowups, and, of course, the breakup th

 Spoiler alert: This post is super NERDY, proceed at your own risk 😊If you thought mathematicians were only good for splitting the bar bill or failing high schoolers, think twice. Turns out the biggest geeks in class have spent centuries messing around with music, but with fractal music, they took things to another level. There's no broken-heart inspiration here; it's pure equations turned into rhythm.What on earth is a fractal?A fractal is a geometric figure that repeats itself all the way to infinity. If you zoom in on a corner, it looks exactly like the full image. Think of a head of broccoli: if you snap off a tiny floret, it looks like a miniature head of broccoli. Nature is full of them, from snowflakes to ferns.And how does music fit into this?Simple: it translates those infinite-repetition formulas into notes, rhythms, and melodies.Instead of composing by ear, a mathematician takes a numerical pattern and sets up rules: "every time the equation outputs a 2, play a C; when it g
