Man, I am really slipping these days. I can’t even remember to publish my post about my latest discovery from the world of Turkish music.

A little taste of some repetitive piano pieces for this confusing and frustrating day. It is actually an extremely fitting soundtrack for the pandemic lifestyle, with the cyclical and repetitive nature of both the music and what life has been for so long. We’ve been stuck in a less-than-ideal moment for what feels like forever,Continue reading “#342 – Hope Street Tunnel Blues: Music for Piano by Philip Glass and Alvin Curran by Bruce Brubaker”

No effort tonight. This is another great album recommended by a musician friend.

I set out to find an Indian rock band this morning and Spotify led me to this group. After a little research, I discovered that this band is made up of full-time doctors. I’m breaking new ground with this blog every day. Today marks my first experience with physician/musicians.

It’s always nice to come across an album organically while going about my day. In this case it was on a Pandora station that I heard at a friends’ house. I should mention that said friend has recommended some excellent albums in the past, so I was planning to request some more selections anyways whenContinue reading “#339 – Songs to Make Up To by Ta-Ku”

Another opportunity to listen to a new album on the day of it’s release. This one is the latest solo effort from Page from Phish. It’s a collection of some very ethereal, atmospheric music that seems like it would make a great score for a moody, contemplative sci-fi film. Or a high-concept and slow-moving videoContinue reading “#338 – Maybe We’re The Visitors by Page McConnell”

I’ve been following the career of HAIM for years, since I became obsessed with their song “Forever.” I then saw them at Bonnaroo and was supremely impressed with their live show. This album is another impressive offering from this trio of sisters. I added several of these songs to my go-to playlists and have alreadyContinue reading “#337 – Women In Music, Part III by HAIM”

I worked on a pilot for a new tv show today that involved Iggy Azalea, so it seemed like an obvious choice to listen to an album of hers. She was super entertaining and great to work with, which is a relief in such a situation. The talent on a tv show can really makeContinue reading “#336 – In My Defense by Iggy Azalea”

This is a fantastic tribute album collaboration by one of indie rock’s most prolific bands. If I have to tell you who they are paying tribute to, I’m not sure if we can be friends. These are some really great versions of these classic songs, performed with quite the array of collaborators. The Lips haveContinue reading “#335 – With A Little Help From My Fwends by The Flaming Lips”

Getting back to work is a blessing and a curse. It certainly is good to be out of the house doing anything, but all of the indoors time has drastically warped my view of what it is important to spend time on. It’s a sort of interesting sociological experiment to see how people can adaptContinue reading “#334 – Soft Sounds From Another Planet by Japanese Breakfast”
