I’ve been getting lazy recently about the variety of genres that I’ve been selecting, so I’m going to be picking a lot more from other parts of the world that have been underrepresented. Today’s is from an Indian pop-rock artist.

These guys are a fixture of the jam band scene at this point, and have been recommended to me repeatedly by some of my more hippie-ish friends. Seems like it’s about time to dip my toe in.

As we get further into the legendary Phish New Years run at Madison Square Garden, it’s always fun to hear people’a reports about what the scene around that area is like. Every place they play is different and lends themselves to a variety of local amenities. Being that this is in NYC, there is theContinue reading “#964 – With Gusto by Eggy”

One of the regions that I keep going back to for new music is in various places in Africa. I’ve always had good luck finding cool stuff in the Afro Psych scene, which is not too much different from their western counterparts of the time when this was released (1973).

The Grouplove album that I listened to the other day came about because of their excellent cover of Robyn’s “Dancing on My Own.” And after reading a bit about her catalog, I had to take a closer look at some of her material once I realized I really only knew that one song.

Ever since I listened to a Lil’ Wayne album a few weeks ago, I’ve been working my way through a bunch of material from artists that he is associated with in some way. Birdman is the stage name of powerhouse producer and Cash Money Records CEO Bryan Williams who is an extremely influential figure inContinue reading “#961 – From The Bayou by Youngboy Never Broke Again & Birdman”

When that happens, the selection will be moreContinue reading “#960 – Summer Songs by Library Tapes”

This band came to my attention because of their fantastic cover of Robyn’s “Dancing on my Own,” which is one of my favorite pop songs. Obviously, that song is not indicative of the rest of Grouplove’s catalog, but it’s the one that brought them to me.

When I’m looking for an artist with a specific mood, I always go to Spotify to help me make a connection. If you’ve been reading this blog (ha), you could probably guess that my go-to is to look up Sigur Ros and see what is similar, but new to me. And so, here we haveContinue reading “#958 – self-titled by A Winged Victory For the Sullen”

My favorite way to discover an artist is through an unsolicited recommendation by a friend whose musical tastes I know and trust. This is a great album that features an incredibly impressive selection of featured guest performers. If you wanted to have a festival that only included artists that could all be found on aContinue reading “#957 – HEROES & VILLAINS by Metro Boomin”
