Music

New Bjork and Yeah Yeah Yeahs today.  I was listening to the new Afghan Whigs last week.  Guess my time machine worked.

I'm brand new to this forum so bear with me as not only am I new here I am relatively unfamiliar with this type of platform in general.

I'm an avid record collector and all around music obsessive.
I happened to notice a kruangbin song being used on a recent instagram video wich makes me curious how much crossover there is between fans of this brand and the music I love.

Im from the US right outside of Portland OR

@GraemeE The music on here is quite eclectic and I think Khruangbin would fit in nicely.  Welcome to the forum!

[goosehd]

What a great rabbit hole to explore this weekend.  Thank you! 

[GraemeE]

I appreciate the welcome - within  my community in portland we all love this class of soul/psychedelic bands making music right now
These guys from Japan as well as bands like Dungen, Dina Ogon and many more

@GraemeE KEXP and NPR Tiny desk have put out some outstanding performances and covered some great performers.  Look forward to your contributions!!

A couple of pics from last night - Snarky Puppy at the O2 Academy Glasgow. So good - UK/Europe guys , I definitely recommend trying to catch them in the next few weeks.

@goosehd:

You’ll find his songs on the radio here occasionally because Canada has a law that a certain percentage of radio air time be dedicated to Canadian Artists.

So you're saying if that law did not exist, you probably would not have heard of him  ?

[goosehd]

The sad thing is that he was a hit about 20 years ago and because of the law you'll still hear his songs in rotation (not that they are bad).

Our system and my local radio listening area tends to reward performers who are successful, and makes it harder for the new up and comers to receive airtime.  I started listening to satellite radio via subscription about 10 years ago, because I got very tired of the limited selection and hearing the same songs played over and over again.  Thankfully, satellite doesn't have the same rules….yet.

[goosehd]

My local radio station plays these artists about once every two hours and these songs at least once or twice a day.  Not bad if you hear them occasionally, but everyday for a decade or three can get tiresome.  I'd give you more examples, but I need a break…

and the obligatory Rush...

[goosehd]

….well one more and I apologize.  When these guys made it you could switch between radio stations and it was almost continuous play (that is until everybody hated them).

Dave Grohl and Joan Jett say a few words and then do an insane cover of Cherry Bomb by The Runaways.  Music starts at 5:33

If anyone is into psychedelic jam music, King Gizzard dropped a new record today which is an absolute trip.

Loosely drawn together by theme of life, death, creation, and destruction, every track is full of enough twists, turns to make it one of their most epic offerings so far.

Well worth an hour of your time if you fancy something a little different and adventurous.

This king gizzard album  looks extremely promising

[T4920]

In true King Gizzard fashion, they're dropping three albums in the month of October.

This is the 2nd.

I get to scratch my denim and music itch at the same time! [emoji3590]

I'm not sure Laminated Denim is Iron Heart's style, but I'm fairly surely Naked & Famous could pull it off. [emoji1787]

It's all I've listened to this week. I listen to everything they put out but I haven't been in love with one like this since Fishing for Fishies and Infest The Rats Nest in 2019!

You are spot on with the N&F comment…..
