Hi you,
I haven’t written in awhile, mostly because I don’t have much news to report unless you’re into my toddler’s nap schedule. Which if you are, may need you to get off my list.
But I do now: a new album!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s called DAD ROCK — totally unironically, as I am now a dad who tries to rock — and is about all the various stuff I do these days. I hope you’ll check it out and drop me line to tell me how good it is, despite the title. I promise you don’t have to be a dad to hear it!
Track-list and details below 🙂
Dominique Leone – DAD ROCK
Available on Bandcamp, CD Baby, iTunes (RIP?), Amazon, Spotify, Youtube, Google Play, etc etc

Rush found me in high school, through an older friend who knew of such things. We were band nerds together, but he was also into coding, RPGs, elaborate pranks, scaling walls and going on abandoned mall raids. He drove us around in his Jeep, had an attic where we could bash out rock covers, and […]
Wanted to share this fantastic recording of a late-period Franz Liszt setting of the Catholic depiction of Jesus on the day of his crucifixion, for choir and piano. Â I’ve also heard it with organ, solo piano, and read that he wrote an arrangement for harmonium as well, though the piece itself wasn’t performed until over […]
Because you demanded so fastly and furiously…. Egypt Station by Paul McCartney [Capitol; 2018] First listen! Opening Station – Intro track, nice ambient choir and train station noises. 40 seconds. I Don’t Know – Piano soft-rock. Mac’s voice sounds like it has recently; old. Still, the groove is classic P-Mac, a little like the stuff he was rocking […]
Much to my surprise, have been listening to a lot of Steely Dan lately. Of course, those guys are hardly strangers to me, because I basically grew up on classic rock, and every one of their (many) hits were played (and overplayed) on the radio. In truth, I never hated them, always thought “Dirty Work” […]
Listening to McCoy Tyner, who I knew as the pianist in John Coltrane’s 60s quartet, with Elvin Jones & Jimmy Garrison. I love it! Full of energy, bright, hits hard (especially because he’s playing with amazing drummers like Tony Williams, Jack DeJohnette, Elvin Jones), and the heads are actually really cool, uplifting & melodic, like […]
Apparently, I’m a late-in-life Aphex Twin fan. I’d always avoided this guy, mostly because everyone else was talking about him in such reverent tones — it was an easy turn-off for a perpetual hype skeptic like me. Now, after years of listening to electronic dance music, and after AFX is no longer the focal point of […]
I’ve got a #CHILL playlist on my phone. It gets about five times as much play as any other playlist, and I’ve heard all of its songs so many times that they’re a part of me. Forever. It’s got some classical music, some float-y ambient, light psychedelia, maybe a super minimal techno track or two. […]

Hello there! Today, I want to share some new music — just three tracks, homemade, and in some form or another, a love note to my life with B & V out here in New York. Â Cold outside, but plenty warm inside. Domestic Bliss is free/name-your-price at Bandcamp, so I hope you give it a […]
