Here’s another in a list of artists recommended to me by someone I just met through work. We certainly had a lot to talk about, music aside, but our tastes are so similar I’ll definitely be going back for more suggestions soon.

If you can’t tell, I love discovering new music. But even more than that, I love finding great artists in genres that I have not historically gravitated towards. Electronic music is a great example. I am certainly quite late to the party, especially considering the burgeoning EDM scene throughout my life. It’s a bit ofContinue reading “#630 – Love Me/Love Me Not by HONNE”

I guess these guys would be considered indie rock. All I know is that they have a classic rock sound and I will certainly be hearing more from them whenever possible.

These guys are part of the booming music scene in Turkey. The discovery of Altin Gun a few years ago has led me to explore more from that region and I just keep discovering great artists from all over the world. Everywhere there are these pockets of bustling music scenes.

The more psychedelic bands is listen to the more I discover. I know people aren’t thrilled with Spotify right now, and with good reason, but I’m not sure I would’ve persisted with this blog for so long if it wasn’t for the “people also like…” section. It is a triumph of app design.

It should come as no surprise that two guys as talented as Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak would collaborate on such an amazing album. It is both great material and sounds like it was beamed here from the ‘70s.

When somebody recommends an album to me I can usually guess what genre it will be just based on who suggested it. It’s both surprising and not surprising that most people’s frame of reference is fairly limited and consistent.

I’m always grateful for a recommendation of some good country music. This has always been a blind spot in my listening habits and I find more and more over time that I’ve been missing out on a great deal of solid material from this genre.

Another great recommendation from a coworker. These guys sound like they were sent her in a time machine from 1975. If you had told me this was an old Motown album, I would’ve had no trouble believing you.

Ariana Grande has a song in the Trolls movie that I have always really enjoyed. I was reminded of it today, which led me to realize that I’d never heard one of her albums. As has been the case so often with big time pop albums, I enjoyed this one a lot more than IContinue reading “#622 – thank u, next by Ariana Grande”
