Link in bio ~ Echoes of the Past; the Folk Tradition of Cover Songs— Part Seven: Making a Ballad of a Broken Reverie

Neutral Milk Hotel wasn’t just a band. For a certain subset of listeners—especially the ones with notebooks full of cryptic verses and no real vocal training—they were proof of life. The kind that doesn’t require polish to be powerful. They didn’t ask for your admiration. They whispered something stranger: permission.

There’s no blueprint for this kind of post. No checklist for losing someone who shaped something sacred with you—especially when you didn’t know you were building something sacred in the first place.
Karissa Ray-Higgins passed away on January 2nd, 2025.
I didn’t hear about it from a headline or a phone call. I found out through a message from someone close to her—a friend gently inquiring about the books. Wondering when they’d arrive. Wondering why the silence.
That silence hit like a punch to the chest.
Karissa wasn’t just an artist for The Live Echoes. She was a co-architect… read full article .com

Link in bio ~ ECHOES OF THE PAST: THE FOLK TRADITION OF COVER SONGS AND THE MOON & THE MIND’S RENDITION OF “KILLER QUEEN”
Part Six: Shipwrecked Glam & A Delayed Father’s Day Tribute

Part Six of Echoes of the Past arrives fashionably late, derailed not by apathy but by the cruel cocktail of summer depression and a production pipeline that eats time for breakfast. If there’s a running theme across this project, it’s that nostalgia refuses to obey deadlines. Some songs just take longer to tell...

Link in bio ~ Echoes from the Past: the folk tradition of cover songs and .andthemind ‘s rendition of s*x & candy
Part Five: Disco Lemons & Distorted Truths
There are songs that burrow into your psyche not because they make sense, but because they don’t. “Sex and Candy” by Marcy Playground is one of those strange beasts—a slow, sticky fever dream of a hit that crept onto the airwaves in 1997 and never quite left. Built on lethargic groove, abstract imagery, and the kind of stoned clarity you only get while stone-cold sober, the track became a slacker anthem for a generation too dazed to care and too smart not to notice…

Link in bio ~ Echoes of the Past: The Folk Tradition of Cover Songs and The Moon & The Mind’s Rendition of “Valerie”
Part Three: Emotional Bootlegs, Taxi Lyrics & the Q***r Dream Sequence of Track Four
Some songs show up dressed for the part. Others arrive in disguise. “Valerie,” the fourth track on Blankets, slips in like a late-night visitor—half-drunk on nostalgia, wearing somebody else’s perfume, holding a suitcase full of secrets. It’s a cover of a cover, and for The Moon & The Mind, it became a pivot point—one that almost didn’t survive the cutting room floor. Not because it wasn’t unwanted, but because it wouldn’t stop echoing someone else’s voice…

There are anniversaries, and then there are anniversaries. Today marks four years since Pique Audio Visual cracked its first bottle and set its first fire with Swanskin & The Live Echoes’ debut single, “While Eating With a Friend Lean Over and Ask If They Can Talk Cause They Might Be Choking.” A name as absurdly long as the aftershock it sent through the foundations of this so-called operation. That wasn’t just a song—it was a bullet through the paper-thin membrane separating intention from action, a sudden and violent affirmation that this thing, whatever it was, had begun.

And now, the wheel turns again. Swanskin & The Live Echoes return with “51 Day Standoff,” a title that sounds like a grim headline from some forgotten American tragedy—and maybe it is. A new dispatch from the edge of whatever this band is trying to say. A sequel? A continuation? A complete rejection of everything that came before? Who the hell knows.

But if history is any guide, this isn’t just a release. It’s another crack in the asphalt. The first song set the wheels in motion, leading PiqueAV into publishing, into comics, into collaborations with Karissa Ray, Chris Resnick, and other restless minds who saw something worth chasing. What the future holds is uncertain, and maybe that’s the point. But on a day when everything circles back to the beginning, one thing seems clear: we’re in for another round.

Listen to 51 Day Standoff now on all streaming platforms.
