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.

The next week or so will be pepperedContinue reading “#621 – Lovers and Leavers by Hayes Carll”

This all-female quarter from London blends electro-pop with an indie rock feel for quite the entertaining effect. I will definitely be following them with great interest. Hopefully they do a US tour soon.

It’s been years since I’ve listened to Incubus. There was a time when I was obsessed with these guys, but for whatever reason, my attention strayed elsewhere for quite some time.
