Current Music

Had to share this:

 

Never thought I would hear Bill Nye get name-dropped in a death metal song.

 

Eric Clapton & Mark Knopfler - Same Old Blues
Two greats being awesome.

 

Love That Burns

Fleetwood Mac


Twelve Bar Blues Band


The best version (Fleetwood Mac featuring Rick Vito) doesn't seem to be available online :(

 

the guitar soars nicely

the volume of the drums and guitar screws with the balance a little in that drifty part around 2:10 but i think it's working for me

 

Warnings for volume and nails on chalkboard kinds of feelings. He talks somewhat quietly at the start, describing how the instrument works, and then goes into it. It's a strange but fascinating sound.

 

i am so glad the internet and the power of determined shitposters have made this possible

 

Beth Hart - Easy
No, it is not about "easy to have sex with" :)

 

crying. tears of joy? tears of regret? who can say.

 

x3 swirl combob bringing you a combob song



i am very fond of dj earworm stuff. there's something really comforting about the familiar sound bites merging in and out of each other

 

the shit songs derail in the kiwi thread led to a shit song war with my boyfriend and now i have this stuck in my head

 

reconstructions of African diasporic music, musical notation taken down in 1707

 

Turns out Dream Police came out today in 1979, so tonight's a Cheap Trick night.

I really need to listen to them more...

 

https://petrels.bandcamp.com/album/onkalo

petrels has a new album coming out soon and i'm super excited oh boy, this dude is one of my all time favorite artists. relistening to everything he has ever put out.

let me try to sell you on petrels here

i think 'drone' is the closest i can get in one word but really his music is just these amazingly creative and diverse long form electronic/classical sound collages, fuck i don't even know how to describe it

his first album is a concept album about a british diver, william walker, who spent five years working six hours a day in pitch blackness (sediment in the water) shoring up the foundations of a cathedral that was sinking into a bog

his second album, onkalo, is named for a spent nuclear fuel repository currently under construction in finland, which has been designed to safely contain nuclear waste for over 100,000 years. the album uses the passage of time, the decline of the optimism of the atomic age, and retro-futurism as its themes

and so on much in that vein, ridiculously high concept stuff. constantly something different and ridiculous and amazing with this guy. if that sounds even a little interesting to you check it out his music means so much to me

 

Leonard Cohen. A voice that rumbles deep inside.

 

please uncle fred mercury let me have bisexual utada hikaru as my bi day gift

 

I'm not a big fan of KWS, but this one has been in my fave list for a few years.
