Unfortunately, I frequently discover artists when I read a news story about their, often untimely, death. This one is an early album by one of the legends of the house music scene. I’ve made no secret of the fact that I don’t know very much about the dance music world, so it should be noContinue reading “#454 – Feel The Music by Paul Johnson”

Here’s another great psychedelic rock album that came my way via the Spotify algorithm. For a genre that I never really explored much until the past few years, I now spend a whole lot of time in it.

A while back I listened to a collaboration between this artist and the producer/DJ Galimatias. It is an excellent album and one of the selections from this project that I have revisited the most. Although I’m trying not to repeat artists if possible, this one was good enough that I wanted to hear what theirContinue reading “#452 – The Color of You by Alina Baraz”

Yesterday was Jerry Garcia’s birthday, so there were a bunch of articles paying tribute to different aspects of his career. This album is supposed to be one of the earliest known recordings of Jerry.

One of the genres that I am mournfully poorly-versed in is Dance, so it works to my advantage that I know quite a few people that love that scene.

Just read an article about the rise of the “psychobilly” genre and had to do a little dive into that world.

This selection is by the co-host of the show I was working on today. Most people know Kevin Eubanks as Jay Leno’s band leader from the Tonight Show, but if you’re a jazz guitar fan you’re probably just as familiar with his long and virtuosic album catalog.

Can somebody make a recommendation for me? I seem to be stuck in this loop of modern psychedelia. I’m not complaining; I’ve enjoyed everything that I’ve heard recently. However, this blog is supposed to be as diverse and varied as possible and I keep getting lazy with my selections, not to mention with my postingContinue reading “#446 – self-titled by Drakkar Nowhere”

I often hear older music fans lamenting the lack of new rock bands in today’s musical landscape. I can’t help but roll my eyes when I hear such a complaint, because the options available today are so diverse. There is truly something out there for everyone, if they’ll only put forth a little bit ofContinue reading “#445 – The Battle at Garden’s Gate by Greta Van Fleet”
