Nothingful is a San Diego solo project. His Banglamexican birth heritage allows him spangles of opportunity in which to dimension into the angles of music and rhythms written in the air. Sings and plays an acoustic bass guitar. Sometimes he brings his dobro with him and various other accouterments. The songs are unconventional in so many ways as he is musically untrained.
To play the bass in the way that Nothingful makes it would be to so as in tuning other than standard. The lyrics come in all sorts of ways: from the air; from scholarly pursuits; from blurted random thoughts; from object-things in the room and why not, some covers.
It's an honor to have Sasha selecting some tunes, we share a lot of music interests and common friends and it was quite natural for me to start a conversation and invite him to be part of the blog. His playlist is a mix of mint bands I love and discoveries that I will follow up on in the next weeks. I hope you will enjoy it as I did while assembling it all for YOU!
