Kaba Presents: Music of the Day

Sun, July 24th. With ten hours of nonstop track #19 you'll be able to get a lot of work done. Goals for the day? Not sure. Wrote a paper for school last night, sent about six orders out the day before, and now I'm just at this house up in...

Mon, July 18th. I've been swimming in the river a lot and maybe that's why I'm really into Jeff Buckley right now. This song is so haunting to memories, it's like a thick cloud which covers you in blue, with hints of orange trying to poke out from behind. Great...

Sun, July 17th. This is the first summer in which life has flown by. Listening to good music helps me slow down a bit. This album by Tycho has always been one of my favorites. It's so casual yet strong. Today is a good day for painting. The bedroom is...

Sat, July 16th. There's nothing quite like waking up to a rainstorm. Immediately knew I wanted to listen to Simon Farintosh's album Aphex Twin for Guitar. Threw these new Airpods in my ears, took a hit of kush, and just enjoying the morning before work. Goals? Today? Mmm.. Ship these...

Fri, July 15th. I've been finding a lot of unique music from doing this daily blog. This album gives the feeling of a small babbling brook in a lush forest. I've always been a fan of fantasy and myth so hearing music that evokes feelings of new discovery is great....

Thu, July 14th. I drove home from Denver this morning, left at about 5:45. This album was playing the entire drive. Moving fast through thick fog and hazy morning sunlight had this simple album feeling like so much more. I've said it a few times but I really need to...

Wed, July 13th. My brothers showed me Metallica when I was real young but Stranger Things helped me feel it. If you haven't watched the new season of Stranger Things, I'd say try it out. There are scenes in this new season that are so beautiful and perfect. I've got...

Tue, July 12th. Like a lot of people, I first heard Nujabes when I started watching Samurai Champloo. This album resonates with me in a lot of ways, it's been there when I needed a pick-me-up or just some calm vibes to bike to. Nujabes has been a huge inspiration...

Mon, July 11th. The moment the horns start to pop in 101 Key 1, the album is already perfect. Such a good morning listen. Even if you've never played Minecraft, this album will start your day like you're a busy bee. I remember finding out about Minecraft Pre Alpha in...

Sun, July 10th. This is such strange music. It reminds me of the Backrooms so much it's insane. It's very calming. The edit for this album is like a soft collage where old commercials both Japanese and American are tied together through speaker fx. The added elevator music and people...

Sat, July 9th. No vocals, no strange chorus, just some pulsing drums and flowing sounds. Hard to explain this song but it literally gives you images that a parks on fire. I first heard this song while riding my bike around my parents neighborhood. It was a thing I'd do,...

Fri, July 8th. I've heard this song a million times yet every time is like the first. Goals for the day, send some shirts to people and get size variants to show up on the site. I'll talk more later, I was up late following the assassination attempt on Shinzo...

Thu, July 7th. This song started playing on a radio station last night around 4:00 am and it's been in my head ever since. The chorus is so haunting yet hopeful. I don't think I've been hit by a song like this in some time. Goal for today is work...

Wed, July 6th. In case you've never been to the beach as a child, this album might help you understand what the memory could feel like. Toshiya Sukegawa puts together a hitter with this collection of ambient tracks. With a mix of soft chords and rising tones that act as...

Tue, July 5th. I've been awake since 6:00 am. I was listening to a lot of music this morning but it's this album that really hit me. It reminds me of my childhood. Be aware that the end of the first song has a jump scare. The goal for today...

Mon, July 4th. It's late in the day and I needed to sleep in because I've been stressed! The music of Nick Drake always calms me down however. This song especially. I remember listening to it over and over again while traveling Japan in 2018 with my brother. We had...

Sun, July 3rd. Early morning jazz because I fell asleep at 7:00 pm last night. I'm kind of in a funk so I have no feeling towards music... UNTIL I LISTENED TO THIS ALBUM! Crazy to think this was all done by just one guy. I'm always glad to find...

Sat, July 2nd. It's a slow build but the moment that piano key starts hitting, you feel a blue glow forming inside your belly. This song takes me back to strange times in France, walking the 13th arrondissement of Paris. I got my phone stolen (With headphones in my ears)...

Fri, July 1st. I was doing whippets the other day and this song blew my brain up. Such soft echos that cut like ice. The entire drum pattern is unique, like a heart beat you need to see the doctor for. That was my impression of good description. Hire me...

Thu, June 30th. There are plenty of great playlists on Youtube that showcase the talent of Richard David James. Some people enjoy his uppers like Windowlicker, while others (like me) prefer his slowed down stuff like #3 and Avril 14th. Whatever the case is, if you're unfamiliar with Aphex Twin,...
