Aarktica & Black Tape For A Blue Girl collaborate on ‘Eating Rose Petals’ name-your-price download single
“Eating Rose Petals” marks the first collaboration between Sam Rosenthal (aka Black Tape for a Blue Girl) and vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Jon DeRosa (aka Aarktica).
This 38-minute release (spread over 3 tracks) is their first musical collaboration but Sam and Jon go way back, nearly 30 years ago, when Jon’s earliest musical projects — the dark folk-oriented Fade and Dead Leaves Rising — opened for artists on Sam’s Projekt label making their first East Coast appearances.
You can check out the release below which is available as a name-your-price download via Bandcamp.

More people read Side-Line than ever, and there is still no paywall and no advertising. Readers pay for it instead - from $5 a month.
Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.

Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
