Discovered them at SXSW in 2000. Another good band in the long tradition of "American bands who wish they were British".

Is that what the respondants to this thread are using?

We should avoid this discussion. It's like politics, and there are always people who do things that are not in their own best interests irrespective of obvious and inevitable consequences.

Assume we're talking about listening to music at the times when you normally would listen to music.

I just learned of this group a few days ago and can't get enough of them: The Paper Kites.

Ditto! I’m on a “folk indie” kick lately, and this is a great “Sunday Morning” band.

One of my favorite threads. Great stuff here.

I'm happy to have stumbled onto them as I haven't heard enough new music since our daughter left the nest 14 years ago.

Arvo Part: Tractus

In a Darkened Room. Skid Row. Sebastian Bach at his best.

[GParkes]

The Red Clay Strays, Arlo McKinley, Charles Wesley Godwin, and Charley Crockett. Al very good if you like Americana and in Crockett's case, some old style western.

Several options--Livall is my new one--tiny speakers, great sound, hear ambient noise perfectly, does nor annoy others.
Babaaali is a bone conduction system, also Bluetooth, nice sound, but can't rise volume quite enough
Notice I love smart helmets[[the Livall has rear lights,, and optional turn signals, which I will never use....
