I’ve been slowly picking over a bunch of different websites’ best albums of 2022 lists, which has both been a fun, ego-boosting exercise and a great resource. Despite the quite varied artist selection, I actually listened to a decent amount of the picks, at least on the Guardian top 50, which gives me a minorContinue reading “#951 – Nymph by Shygirl”

Anitta performed on a show that I’ve been working on – Amazon’s Thursday Night Football Concert – and was pretty entertaining. She is probably one of the fittest performers I’ve ever seen, and has a pro athlete cardio level. The performances on this show happen on a sound stage in Hollywood that has a festival-sizeContinue reading “#950 – Versions of Me by Anitta”

This Swedish act has been putting out great psychedelic rock for over 20 years now, and I’ve been really enjoying their whole catalog. I thought I had discovered something to introduce to one of my more friends with well-rounded musical tastes, but of course he was already familiar.

This band, also formerly known as just Suede, originally gained notoriety as one of the “big four” of early 90s Britpop, along with Oasis, Blur and Pulp. Those are some heavy hitters to be mentioned in the same sentence as, and it certainly seems like that was well-deserved. They also apparently took part in aContinue reading “#948 – Autofiction by The London Suede”

I thought I was somewhat well-versed in the music of the 90s, but time and again I have artists brought to my attention that further highlight just how narrow my frame of reference was at that time. Who knows how differently my musical experience could have been if I had delved into the indie sceneContinue reading “#947 – There’s Nothing Wrong With Love by Built to Spill”

Younger Brother always comes up in Reddit conversations about what people’s favorite music is for various psychedelic experiences. Considering they are made up of two prolific experimental artists from that scene, it comes as no surprise. These guys’ trippy credentials are beyond reproach.

This band from New Zealand sounds like their performances would involve a laptop full of tracks that they work around, but in fact they pride themselves on playing all of the parts live. An unusual feat for artists in this genre.

I’m always curious to see artist bios on Spotify. They can be anything from copypasta from their Wikipedia page or promotional materials to some very brief and/or tongue-in-cheek introductions by the artist themselves. In this case: “Joey is a guy from Michigan who makes music for your emotions:)”

This artist was the performer of the week on a show that I’ve been working on. His set included some combinations of very high and not-so-high production values. It’s very entertaining to see someone create a very detailed aesthetic to their stage but at the same time train some rough-around-the-edges dancers with their steps onlyContinue reading “#943 – At.Long.Last.A$AP by A$AP Rocky”

I keep finding myself drawn to Australian artists of all genres recently, for whatever reason. There seems to be a great music scene down there with a really cool indie vibe. That’s not the primary reason that I want to go there, but it certainly adds to the allure.
