Review of the new Le Matos (first in like 13 years) coming Monday, but for now.. some good stuff for ya. Ambient electronic, classic synthwave, modern synth-pop

The List: Coleurs, Eric Angelo Bessel, Cyrille Champagne, Romaance, Monde Ray The latest edition of The List maintains my interest in recommending some variety. This means you’re going to find some French EBM, some cinematic ambient electronic works, and even new synthwave that...

Take a break from the BS to read about this blending of two foundational bands for me (and maybe you).

Jeff Schroeder Finds His Inner Magic Ex-Pumpkins guitarist Jeff Schroeder discusses joining Chromatics founder Adam Miller's Inner Magic project in this Vehlinggo interview.

Chromatics and Smashing Pumpkins. Not two bands you'd generally include in the same sentence, aside from Aaron listing his fave bands. That is, until now. #chromatics #smashingpumpkins #innermagic vehlinggo.com/2026/02/19/j...

Inner Magic is a merging of the worlds of Chromatics and The Smashing Pumpkins, and they have a new single with Ruth Radelet out today. Also, there's this interview I did with Schroeder!

Ruth sings on the new single, too, btw

The single is actually on Spotify now, if you want to hear it and don't care about Bandcamp, where it also is.

Schroeder was in SP for nearly 20 years. Miller founded Chromatics. Together, they're Inner Magic. Today, Schroeder talks with Vehlinggo about their new collab, his SP past, and even Frippertronics.

I'm sending this message with no so great news about the support for our upcoming US tour. Due to visa uncertainty, we unfortunately had to make the very hard decision to remove Dreamkid from the line-up. Some of you wondered what happened. We announced him and a day later we took all posts with Dreamkid down. This was by advice from his immigration lawyers. They said it wasn't a good idea to promote him as support when the visa is not approved yet. So we took the posts down. This is out of Dreamkid's (and our) control l, but even though he applied with an expedited process he still doesn't have a visa approval yet. And with our tour approaching fast we had to make this decision. We are very sorry for this. That being said.... We are excited to announce The Bad Dreamers will be supporting us for the entire tour!

If you’re wondering why Dream Kid is no longer supporting Timecop1983 on his American tour. (Via Bandcamp)

I think my favorite piece of media criticism was by James Gandolfini who, asked about the possibility of doing a Sopranos prequel, said, “What, are we gonna wear wigs and girdles? It’ll be like Star Trek.”

Actions have consequences.
In this case, finally!
