@T4920 the very same and yes, with Tame Impala’s drummer who does a bunch of cool stuff. Ambrose also has a project called Murlocs and their latest Calm Ya Farm is a heater, kind of Raconteurs-esque southern tinged rock and roll.

@GraemeE hope the recovery is going well! Just some things off the top of my head that might go well with a bit of brain fog…

Little Feat-Waiting for Columbus
Christ Whitley-Living with the Law
Big Thief-Little Things/Sparrow or “Dragon” album
Buck Meek-Haunted Mountain
Dr John-Locked Down (produced by Dan Auerbach)
Freedy Johnston -Blue Days, Black Nights
Waxahatchee-St Cloud

All kind of in the same vein. Keep us posted on the recovery.

@GraemeE I got a notification from this thread because our usernames are a letter apart.

I can't think of anything to suggest off the top of my head apart from get well soon. Also, please avoid trying to die. Apparently, our name is now extinct, so we're a dwindling breed.

[GraemeE]

@Graeme ha yes
I chose to add the first letter of my last name since someone had already rightfully claimed the username (I see now that was you)

I'll do my best to not die so I can continue to add power to the collective of Graemes everywhere

[Matt]

Get well buddy.

How about some podcasts?

S-Town from Serial is awesome.

Musically I’ll send you some Spotify links as I think of them.

[Tago Mago]

@Matt look at you, bringing something to the forum. good for you!

[Matt]

I try.

Let’s try this one. @GraemeE

[popvulture]

@GraemeE hope you feel better soon, man! Here are some latelies:

Priori - This But More (dubbed out ambient techno)
Full Bloom - Time Zones (kinda trip-hop, acid jazz even)
David Torn - Cloud About Mercury (some of the guitars on the above album are Torn-y and sparked a revisit)
White Ward - False Light (Ukrainian black metal with interesting prog-ish tendencies)
Omni - Souvenir (Strokes-y herky jerky rock)
Cola - Deep in View (Similar, but better ^^^)
Pugilist - Banoffee Pies Beats 04 (more 90s-y trip-hoppiness)
Sneaks - Gymnastics (No-wave-y dance-y shit)
Sonic Youth - Murray St (duh)
The Clientele - I Am Not There Anymore (still can’t put it down)
Arooj Aftab - Night Reign (insanely beautiful, just listen)
Au Suisse - Au Suisse (80s-worshipping goodness)
Pile - All Fiction (def a very fave rock release over the past couple years)

Edit: adding audiobooks...

Listened to Jonathan Heidt's The Happiness Hypothesis recently and really enjoyed it. Also Thurston Moore's Sonic Life ruled, and I'm currently listening to a book called The Courage to Be Disliked, which explores Adlerian psychology in an interesting way. Some of it's a little corny in the delivery (the premise of the book is a conversation between a young student and an old philosopher) but I've found a lot of it nonetheless very interesting and useful. Also lately I've read Babel by R.F. Kuang, finished the last book of N.K. Jemisin's Inheritance Trilogy, and am about halfway through The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells, all of which would probably be great to listen to. Outside the sort of sci-fi/alternate history realm, I read Martyr by Kaveh Akbar and North Woods by Daniel Mason, both of which I thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed.

[GraemeE]

Thanks again everyone.

Sorry to temporarily hijack this thread for personal gain but having a bunch of new music is such a nice get well present and almost as great as having narcotics on demand at the touch of a button .

[goosehd]

@GraemeE Don’t know if you can watch movies (might be a good break) but was thinking either the Wall or clockwork orange.

[Matt]

@popvulture just listened to the new Cola this week.

[Matt]

@GraemeE I need to get me one of those.

[J-IV]

@GraemeE
I got you. Random tunes but should keep you busy. Hope all is well and you're on the fast track to getting home and listening to some wax again.

Babe Rainbow (Today)
Kenny Dorham (Afro-Cuban)
Raveena (Where The Butterflies Go in the Rain)
Parcels (Live Vol. 1)
Lou Donaldson (Swing and Soul)
NxWorries (Why Lawd?)

[GraemeE]

@Matt you have to climb to the mountain top of all potential human pain and look the devil straight in his eyes
(Once you descend from Mt doom they give you popsicles)

Also decent health insurance coverage

[popvulture]

@Matt ahh shit I knew a new one was coming but didn’t realize it’d actually dropped. Hell yes! Did you listen to Ought?

[Matt]

@popvulture I haven’t. I’ll check that out tomorrow, thank you.
