I heard about these guys from a Spin article about how they were the only non-hip hop act at some festival and absolutely blew the crowd away. Their sound is classic hardcore that reminds me of high school. Also, this album has been suggested to me by 3 people since I listened to it.

#610 – A Flock of Beeps by Younger Brother
I now find myself in the awkward position of being so far behind in my posts that I have to relisten to some of my selections to refresh my memory. These guys are an electronic supergroup of sorts, featuring Shpongle’s Simon Posford and Benji Vaughn of Prometheus. True trippy edm royalty.
#609 – Sleep’s Holy Mountain by Sleep
Always good to get in some good, stony metal. These guys sound like they could’ve been around in the ‘70s, opening for Black Sabbath. The singer even sounds a bit like Ozzy.
#608 – Bear’s Sonic Journals: Live at The Carousel Ballroom, April 24, 1968 by Johnny Cash
This is the latest release from the estate of Owsley “Bear” Stanley, famed Grateful Dead audio engineer and prolific LSD manufacturer. Bear spent the sixties and seventies mixing and archiving the performances of some of the greatest artists of the time, and now his family is slowly remixing and releasing some of the best showsContinue reading “#608 – Bear’s Sonic Journals: Live at The Carousel Ballroom, April 24, 1968 by Johnny Cash”
#607 – Emily Can’t Sing by joe p
I got about halfway through this album before I noticed what the title is. I don’t want my friend Emily to think that this selection is a jab at her, but even if she does, I think her beef is really with joe p and not me.
#606 – bb u ok? by San Holo
I tend to gravitate towards guitar-based music, so it’s always great to find an electronic-heavy artist who utilizes the guitar in cool ways. I would be very interested in seeing this guy live and what kind of performance it is.
#605 – The Crane Wife by The Decemberists
Here is yet another band that people have tried to get me into over the years and for whatever reason I missed the boat on. Fortunately, with music it’s never to late to start.
#604 – Under the Blacklight by Rilo Kiley
I love me some Jenny Lewis. From her solo albums to her collaborations to Rilo Kiley, there’s not really anything I’ve heard from her that I didn’t like.
#603 – self-titled by Cymande
Happy new year to all! This artist was recommended by my Phish friends. NYE is usually a time of music and concerts and events, but pretty much everything was cancelled due to omicron, even the standard Phish new year’s run at Madison Square Garden. They hastily put together a super interesting, audience-free performance, which wasContinue reading “#603 – self-titled by Cymande”
#602 – The Digging Remedy by Plaid
I always enjoy discovering artists with a long history and deep catalog. While it’s also great to find new and up-and-coming bands, when you find something that really sparks your interest, having a bunch of material to peruse makes the discovery all the more interesting.
