john andrews and the yawns || cookbook

New to me and I enjoyed it. Heard the Floating Points/Pharoah Sanders /LFO 'Promises' ?
-
Any Ry Cooder fans?
Oh, and we got to see Billy Strings sitting in with Bill Kreutzmann’s band Billy & the Kids. So I guess Billy & Billy & the Kids. Magical night with a complementary rainbow:
-
Got outside of my very narrow scope of Hardcore/Punk bands and Northeast Hip Hop to find and listen to a band called Bass Drum of Death. I have to admit I was intrigued by the name; but they came my way via Apple's sneaky algorithm (have been listening to the new Royal Blood album a lot).
-
BDoD are great — are they still at it? My buddy toured with them years ago on bass.
@mclaincausey looooove Ry Cooder. Can’t say what my fave record is, such a range of awesome material over the years. Do you ever listen to Blake Mills? I feel like he’s the heir apparent of that sort of playing and inventiveness. He’s so good it makes me salty.

someone told me I needed to buy this record when it dropped, so I did. but I have yet to break open the record and spin it. I'll get on that today.
-
That's a very cool record, putting it back on now, myself.
Here's a less out there but still jazzy record I've been playing a lot of lately:

Also, the talk about Justin Townes Earle made me remember the day he passed. It was a sad day in Nashville, for sure. Specifically East Nash. Haven't seen a day like that recently except for the day John Prine died.
-
I recently "discovered" Blake because of an album he made with Pino Palladino, but have not dug in yet past that @popvulture , thanks for the tip!
Yeah, Ry's breadth is remarkable. I think the man just loves music of all kinds in a way that I can really identify with and support, and has the genius to take on all these different styles. His explorations into world music make me think you might enjoy some albums Henry Kaiser (guitar savant) did with David Lindley (anything-with-strings savant, but especially fun on Hawaiian lap steel:
) exploring the music of Madagascar:A couple of magnificent albums resulted from that with the two western stringmasters sitting in with the native musicians (sound familiar?
)Just remembered one of the most ridiculous guitar videos I have ever seen, Mike Keneally playing Zappa's "Inca Roads," so I'll leave with that:
-
@mclaincausey yesss! Man David Lindley is one of my all-time faves. Jackson Browne's stuff with him, particularly Late for the Sky to me… is just, ugh — chef's kiss.
Blake's recent albums are super great — he's done some really interesting stuff (that Pino Paladino record included) — I think Heigh Ho is a good starter.
There are a couple of these with him, really getting totally jealous all over again watching this, haha…
-
@organisys glad you liked it. Thanks for reminding me about the Floating points / pharoah sanders / lfo album. I remember reading about it but never gave it a listen. I just picked up.
@chrisjohnnick hope you dig Sam Wilkes/gendel.

Never been a fan of Manson. But anyone else really like this album?
This album was excellent!
