Oh Messy Life – July 2, 2026 Show Notes
Track 1: Johnny Bell – Under the Sycamore at Rock Creek
A review on the BandCamp page for this album, FIELD TRIPS, describes this music as “Twangbient”.
Track 2: Hans Reichel – Return of the Knödler show
From a compilation of Reichel’s guitar tracks, Dalbergia Retusa.
Track 3: unkle G – riding my bike to the studio feat. unkle foreign, unkle clay & unkle marco
Something mellow from EquiknoxxMusic.
Track 4: Horse Lords – Eureka 378-B
I saw that the acappella intro from their new album, Demand to Be Taken to Heaven Alive!, flowed directly into track 2 so I decided to play both tracks.
Track 5: Horse Lords – Brain of the Firm
And here is the second track from the album, Demand to Be Taken to Heaven Alive!
Track 6: Laddio Bolocko – A Passing State of Well-Being
The Horse Lords tracks inspired me to go back to the 90s for some Laddio Bolocko. Somehow I missed until recently that Laddio Bolocko had a member of Dazzling Killmen.

Another track from the album The Anthology of UnAmerican Folk Music.
