Chazzy Lake – Solar Flare
"Solar Flare," by Chazzy Lake, is a chunk of passionate, stripped down rock. This is about as basic as music gets without being one guy and an acoustic guitar. And that's why I like it: you can hear the heat glowing between the notes. The track kicks off with what...
Mirrors and Lights – Shut It Down
Glance at the lineup of Mirrors and Lights - fronted by an acoustic guitar and a ukulele - and you might think, "Well, this will be a pleasant little folk song." But about ten seconds into "Shut It Down," you find out you were wrong. The band's energy and attitude...
FreeThinker – Making Breakfast
Hi. This is Fluffy. The cat. Last week I wrote a log post about someone named Kid Chameleon and everyone on the Winternet liked it. Well, I don't know if everyone liked it, but at least no one complained about it. People who complain about things on the Winternet are...
Cowboy Grizzly – Wash Away
"Wash Away" by Cowboy Grizzly is a magical suite of textures that... OK, I'm at a loss for words here. I want to say something really poetic or insightful, like you would read on those big-time music journalism sites. But, to be honest, when I heard this song the...
Bacon Hammer – The Arms of Jesus
Today is Easter Sunday, the day on which Christians celebrate the Resurrection of their Lord and Savior. Non-Christians, and most Christians, too, for that matter, celebrate the arrival of a large rabbit that scatters eggs around the house in a perverse re-enactment...
lofi ho – Would You Rather
Today we journey to Oberlin, Ohio to visit lofi ho. This is lofi ho's second Song of the Day. "Now You're Here," released by lofi ho in February, was our very first SOTD, forty-three days and forty-three songs ago. It remains one of our most memorable features, as the...
Kid Chameleon – Chasing Rain
Hi. This is Fluffy. The cat. The Food Guy is busy working in his garden today, and he said I could write his log post if I wanted. I'm not sure what a log post is, but the Food Guy said don't worry, just type it in and he'll put it on the Winternet. So I looked on...
The Crystal Furs – In the Mirror
Today's song comes to us from Fort Worth, Texas, which is just up the road from our raccoon den in Houston. Fort Worth is two-thirds of the "DFW" airport code. In your face, Dallas. Fort Worth is also noted for being an incubator of British-Invasion-With-A-Texas-Twist...
Beegles – Here Comes My Love
Today we have our second Song of the Day from Birmingham, this one in AL, not UK. This is the Birmingham to which Lynyrd Skynyrd referred when they said "in Birmingham they love the governor," though I'm not sure why Birminghamians loved him more than folks in, say,...
Middle Relief – Pistachio
Today we celebrate another Basement Song: "Pistachio" by Middle Relief. The band is upfront about the track's humble origins. "Like so many other things," they write on their Bandcamp page, "Middle Relief was borne out of the curious need for a creative outlet for a...

Nah… – Perfect Game
Yet so pleasing the Pain is, so soft is the Dart, That at once it both wounds me, and Tickles my Heart. - Henry Purcell, The Fairy-Queen There exist almost four thousand nine-dart combinations that create a perfect finish, a score of exactly 501 points. Phil Taylor,...
Year in Review: Presenting the 2019 Reverb Raccoon Revvy Awards!
The Christmas turkey has been reduced to a gnawed carcass of bones and the sinewy dark meat that no one wants. The plastic tree has been crammed back into the attic and - we hope - you have recovered from your New Year's hangover. The 2019 Cute Kittens calendar on the...
The Fabulous Reverb Raccoon Christmas Compilation!
Christmas songs arrive in three boxes, each cardboard container uniquely wrapped and shoved under the Christmas tree where the winking lights cast a festive glow on the shiny paper. The first box, wrapped in purple and gold, contains songs that celebrate the birth of...
See The Eye – Fake Fate
The best thing about dreams is that fleeting moment, when you are between asleep and awake, when you don’t know the difference between reality and fantasy, when for just that one moment you feel with your entire soul that the dream is reality, and it really happened....
