Another great Icelandic band. Can’t get enough of the music from that island.

I spent a lot of years thinking that there was nothing interesting about pop music. I can’t help but think of how many great experiences I’ve missed out on over the years because of this closed-mindedness.

This has been one of my favorite bands for a very long time. I’ve seen them live so many times that my wife no longer has any interest in going. Their catalog is extremely deep and contains no songs that I would ever skip over, a rare accomplishment.

I always like a good, jammy instrumental band. These guys came up on Spotify as being similar to Khurangbin, who you need to check out if you haven’t heard of them yet. Sometimes I mean to listen to a specific album on a particular day, usually because it’s a new release, but sometimes I alsoContinue reading “#751 – Make the Road By Walking by Menehan Street Band”

One of my favorite features of Spotify is the “fans also like” section which pops up when you search for a specific artist. Today I was returning yet again to one of my most played albums of the past couple of years, Haim’s Women in Music, Part 3, and this excellent group was suggested toContinue reading “#750 – Under My Influence by The Aces”

I LOVE listening to a new release on the day it becomes available, particularly when I’ve been aware of and looking forward to it for some time. Wilco has been a constant companion throughout the pandemic, as they were the first cancelled concert that I had planned back when the world shut down. Having thatContinue reading “#749 – Cruel Country by Wilco”

Often, those comparisons end up being somewhat questionable, but not this time. In fact, I’m already on to one of Kate Havnevik’s other albums.

I’ve been inadvertently listening to Robyn for many years, generally the same song every time. Dancing On My Own makes frequent appearances on warm-up playlists for TV audiences. It was during one such appearance that I realized that I didn’t know any other song of hers and it felt like the right time to rectifyContinue reading “#747 – Body Talk By Robyn”
