I’m working on Amazon Music Live’s Thursday Night Football concerts and Feid is the performer for tonight’s show. I am definitely not well-versed in the reggaeton world, which makes this the perfect opportunity to learn more about it.

These guys are playing at the My Morning Jacket festival in Mexico this coming April. When I learned about that event, the supporting artists in that lineup went right into my to-do list. This is the first of them, with a bunch more to come.

I have a friend from work who is known in the Burning Man community as Moondog. So when I saw an article in the guardian about an artist by the same name, I had to check him out. He was apparently a fixture in New York’s art and music scene in the ‘60s and ‘70sContinue reading “#1228 – self-titled by Moondog”

Yesterday was the first installment of this year’s Amazon Music Live Thursday Night Football concerts, which featured Ed Sheeran. While I know a bunch of his songs very well, I was not aware of his looper-heavy style of performance. It was a great show and made me want to delve into his catalog a bit.Continue reading “#1224 – Divide by Ed Sheeran”
