I’m always grateful when someone recommends a country album, as I don’t know much about that works, and really don’t have the inclination to learn about it. Albums and artists like this one make want to reconsider that, though. I describe Paul Cauthen’s sound being like if Johnny Cash was in an indie rock band.Continue reading “#349 – Room 41 by Paul Cauthen”

This selection broke new ground for this blog, both by being the album that I listened to earlier in the day than any other, but also that I was able to listen to it while sitting through an HR meeting at work. Getting shit done.

I realize that pop music is more about releasing singles than albums at this point, but it still feels a little weird to me to discover an artist that I really like that doesn’t really have an LP. This is really an EP, as it’s only seven songs and nineteen minutes, but it certainly makesContinue reading “#347 – Thrill Seeker by Sub Urban”

As always, when I ask my coworkers for a recommendation, they deliver. The past two days’ selections came from the same, very brief conversation. In today’s case, I had asked for a good African album and here it is.

Man, I am really slipping these days. I can’t even remember to publish my post about my latest discovery from the world of Turkish music.

A little taste of some repetitive piano pieces for this confusing and frustrating day. It is actually an extremely fitting soundtrack for the pandemic lifestyle, with the cyclical and repetitive nature of both the music and what life has been for so long. We’ve been stuck in a less-than-ideal moment for what feels like forever,Continue reading “#342 – Hope Street Tunnel Blues: Music for Piano by Philip Glass and Alvin Curran by Bruce Brubaker”

No effort tonight. This is another great album recommended by a musician friend.

I set out to find an Indian rock band this morning and Spotify led me to this group. After a little research, I discovered that this band is made up of full-time doctors. I’m breaking new ground with this blog every day. Today marks my first experience with physician/musicians.
