+1 for Snarky Puppy (@mclaincausey beat me to it). Going to see them in Glasgow in October!
Also worth checking out Mark Lettieri.

Haggis Horns, Vulfpeck, Orgone, Lettuce, Galactic, Dumpstaphunk, Scary Pockets also all worth a listen on the funk front

I sure did. Tonight in Duesseldorf, Germany. A smaller club, and an awesome show. I stayed away from the larger venues over the last years, but I am really glad I went tonight.
My favourite ever NMA tour was around 1991/2 and was called “The Smalltown England” tour. Only small venues mostly in out of the way towns. It was awesome. Used to see Red Sky Coven whenever possible too, and they only played back rooms of pubs.
I wish they’d come to Oslo, but I need to visit Deutschland soon and they always play there
It’s been too long. -

It’s been too long.If you're VERY spontaneous - they have a club show on Thursday near Aachen, and there are a few tickets left
Judging by what you told about NMA on the podcast, I was sure that you have more great stories to share.
The early nineties would have been a bit too early for me to see any rock shows, but I still have a very vivid memory of listening to Thunder and Consolation for the first time.
The first glimpse I saw of the NMA cosmos was Joolz Denby who toured with a reading through the small town where I went to school. My first ever NMA show was a club show in Cologne in 1998, where the played a small venue on a surprise tour.
They play Cologne regularly around Christmas every year, but as they are not getting any younger, just like their audience, these shows have been a lot slower and quieter. They even take a break in the middle ???
But I saw Justin on his solo tour last year, and he was brilliant as he ever was.The show yesterday was as I had hoped for - a punk rock show for the most of the time. 'Here comes the war' is such a great live song, and the even played Vagabonds.

…this is a fun rabbit hole.

Willie Nelson’s son Lukas has got the goods. Such a great performer! Handled the guitar duties so well too.

Murder ballad time. Stagger Lee / Stack O Lee time
And I’ll end with the “happy ending” one, where Stagger’s victim’s wife does what the police are too scared to do and takes the villain out of the gene pool in a painful manner, singing “look out, Stagger Lee!”

Not sure what triggered it, but I started reminiscing about the summer we lived in NYC when I was 13 or 14 and went to a small theater to see Indigo Girls support their eponymous major label debut in 1989 (setlist).Big statement:1989 was a great year for music releases, and for money there wasn't a better one than this incredible album. Emily Sailers and Amy Ray split songwriting duties, and each have very different styles, but they complement one another so perfectly on each other's work. Wire-to-wire, songwriting and performance excellence. Beautiful, emotional, inspiring, dark, hopeful. Love it and am so glad to have rediscovered it.
Milli Vanilli won the Grammy for Best New Artist over them that year, triggering a skepticism and disrespect ever since for the Grammys specifically, and industry awards in general, that gets validated year in and year out.

@mclaincausey Absolutely smashing playlist yesterday…Thank you!

My pleasure!

Equals this:
Jeff Porcaro stole and fused Bernard Purdie’s and John Bonham’s beats. Three legends, two of them gone far too soon.
