I don’t think I would call this album truly untourable. I would imagine it’s because of the programmed drums that they use, but it would be fun to see them perform this material with any instrumentation.

Perhaps you recall a few posts back when I referenced a list of artists that people recommended for psychedelic experiences. Nowhere is it more clear how important personal taste is than in such a situation. You want to have the correct set and setting for your experience, and to me, this is not the moodContinue reading “#643 – It Takes A Thief by Thievery Corporation”

Was it foolish of me to assume that this artist has a little bit of a basketball theme? What other kinds of parquet courts are there? Maybe racquetball or shuffleboard?

This is a beautiful and melancholy album. Sometimes I put on an album and it immediately clicks with me. The Magic Lantern is one of these. I also kinda just like the nerdy imagery that their name evokes for me.

My family has been obsessed with the new Disney movie, Encanto, myself included. It has some fantastic and catchy songs on it as well as great performers that I had never heard of, such as Carlos Vives.

One of my favorite sources of albums is the Relix Daily 7 email. There’s always some good stuff on there, plus you can often learn about a new album on the day of its release, which I always enjoy.

These guys are a jam band from West Berlin in the 1970s. If you like jammy music at all, or just rock music from that era, this is definitely worth a listen.

I’ve never listened to more than one track at a time from the extensive Moby catalog, which is kind of weird considering how into him some college friends were. It also makes me think about the time some idiots jumped Moby outside a Boston venue, recorded the assault and were later prosecuted as a resultContinue reading “#635 – Everything is Wrong by Moby”
