I had never heard of these guys before I saw them a Coachella a while back. Their newest album at the time made it into my regular rotation for quite a while, but for whatever reason, they fell off my radar and I lost track of them. Of course, they continued to release music onContinue reading “#845 – Typhoons by Royal Blood”

The post-rock/ambient genre is becoming one of the most well-represented in this here blog-project. These guys have been a perennial favorite of mine for some time, ever since I saw them open for Nine Inch Nails at what was then known as the Staples Center back in 2013 or so.

Let us continue with yesterday’s theme of recommendations by a specific person with whom I have a decent amount of overlap in the Ven diagram of our musical listening habits.

A musician friend of mine recommended this and a few other artists to me that I would never have come across any other way. It’s so nice to have friends with such varied tastes, and who know that I’m always on the lookout for new albums. It makes this project a lot easier to keepContinue reading “#842 – self-titled by Wet Leg”

For most of my life, I had my back turned to anything that could be considered pop music. While there certainly is a decent amount of that genre that I could do without, there is also a lot that I now realize that I’ve been missing out on, especially in the realm of indie-pop fromContinue reading “#841 – Premonitions by Miya Folick”

One of my most prolific music head friends told me about these guys, who he had just seen in a club venue in Los Angeles. He’s never steered me wrong and this is no exception.

I’ve had one song from this album on one of my go-to Spotify playlists for quite some time. When it came on for the umpteenth time last night, I realized I needed more or Micah P Hinson. He also shares a last name with Unknown Hinson, who is the voice of the main character inContinue reading “#839 – Micah P. Hinson and the Gospel of Progress by Micah P. Hinson”

The director of a TV show that I’ve been working on always has some good recommendations from his era of choice, the 1980s. He’ll ask me to play a certain song and that generally leads me to explore the rest of the album as well, as was the case with the title track of thisContinue reading “#838 – Different Class by Pulp”

Due to my FOMO over missing this year’s Desert Daze festival in Joshua Tree National Park, I am going through the lineup and listening to all of the artists that I’m not familiar with, which is how we arrived at today’s selection.

Not sure how I came across these guys, but they are a great trio who came up in the music world as a backing band for a bunch of big time rap and R&B artists, including Alicia Keys, 50 Cent and Lauryn Hill.
