What are listening to?

[PQJ]

Just downloaded Spotify and am loving the channel "This is: Johnny Cash." Some real gems. I'd never heard "A Boy Named Sue." Funny story!

[Bob Ross]

My most recent discovery (and subsequent immerse-myself-in-their-music orgy) was The Pineapple Thief, a British post-prog rock band who've been recording for the past ~15 years. Very reminiscent of Porcupine Tree, with shades of Radiohead and Smashing Pumpkins thrown in

...but better than that description might suggest.

These guys have some energy...

Traffic cones...whooda thunkit?

Otherwise I've been binging on post bop jazz.

Ha! I literally finished listening to that Tiny Desk Concert fifteen minutes ago! Fun stuff.

I've also been listening to a lot of oud recently. In particular, my good friend Hadi Eldebek and music by his mentor, Simon Shaheen, especially the album Blue Flame.

I've been looking for some interesting rockers and found these guys. No Money Kids.

It's either a Whyte Laydie No 2, or a Tubaphone #3 (circa 1918-1923 - I'd have to get a better look to tell the difference). Both have the nickel-silver band around the pot. I've owned one of each a while ago - one stolen, the other sold....

It's Son Volt, Ryan Adams, the Old 97s, and Nikki Lane. -- all have had albums drop in the few weeks.

I went to highschool with Rhett Miller of the Old 97's. They just released an album this week.

[Dr Luxurious]

Roxy Music (with Eno)
Nebula
Jim Sullivan

[guido]

Matt Flinner Trio: Winter Harvest

These guys own the intersection between "modern string band" and acoustic jazz.

I stumbled on this artist whose name is Viktoriya Yermolyeva, and has a youtube channel under the name vkgoeswild. She's an amazing pianist with a hard core bent. She has an eclectic mix of classic rock, punk, and metal covers, as well as a few original scores. I keep revisiting this internet wormhole. Either check out her youtube page (https://www.youtube.com/user/vkgoeswild/videos) with lots of videos or check out her website http://vkgoeswild.com/ with fewer videos but more info.

I am really digging Tyler Childers lately.
