@Mickey-GT is also an educator. Bet he’d dig this song too.

Sturgill Simpson/Johnny Blue Skies - Live in San Francisco yesterday - fabulous!

I listened to some Billy Strings off the back of recommendations from fellow Sturgill Fans.

Bought me back to listening to Workingman's Dead for the first time, and the great memories I associate with that record...

Their live shows are hard to beat. The band has always been immensely talented and cohesive but what’s really changed as they’ve grown is adding Alex on fiddle and the level of production. I can’t imagine having a bad time at one of their performances at least based on the show.

I recently asked a fun question that sparked some interesting conversation with friends: What was the single most formative year of your life in terms of albums released that year? I'm really curious to hear how people will answer—if nothing else, it’s a great way to revisit albums that had a big impact on you. For me, it was 2004. I was 17, and as a Canadian, albums like Arcade Fire's - Funeral, Chad VanGaalen's - Infiniheart, and Death From Above 1979's - You're a Woman, I'm a Machine completely transformed how my ear drums operated. I am still a young buck, but wild to think those are already 20 years old.

If you're old enough, this is much more than a meme:

So much of my favorite music on the last few pages Sturgill, Billy Strings, Nick Drake, the Dead, and current favs King Gizz. The new Gizz record Flight b741 is so damn good, and it's their 26th! Very stoked for their upcoming tour...

Any of you Nick Drake fans read the recently released book "Nick Drake: The Life"? Just finished this morning, highly recommend. By far the most comprehensive look into his life. It's not necessarily a happy book to read, but it's a must for Nick Drake fans.

I was standing in front of of this live concert in Germany. Couldn’t get in, because I had no ticket @derek111

@tody checked the last band I haven’t seen from that stack off the list a couple of weeks ago.

Metallica was a holdout for all of these years, worth the wait for sure.
Good memories from all of those bands.

@tody Hell of a 44 day window. That stack is much like what I love about Iron Heart, it's timeless.

[goosehd]

@tody …and bought every one of them.

[tody]

Found another one of these...

[Tago Mago]

@tody neck and neck between Bad Religion and NoFX

[tody]

@Tago-Mago same. wouldn't be able to decide, neither on album or song level. if you take it down to song level, it's Linoleum vs 21st Century Digital Boy.

[Tago Mago]

For me it’s linoleum vs hooray for me

@Graham not sure if you’ve had the chance to check out Sulphur Aeon:

[Graham]

Cranking it right now @Tago-Mago - will report back!

[alexxedge]

For those into heavier music check out Mutually Assured Destruction. The “Hexer” ep they released earlier this year is awesome to get a taste of what this band is about.

I remember there being a few black midi fans here. I was gutted when they announced their separation a few weeks back, but now Geordie Greep has announced a solo project launching October 5th called The New Sound, with Holy, Holy as the lead single.

Looking back, I think it was Greep's influence on the band that really caught my interest and imagination. He just has such an idiosyncratic, whimsical and surreal approach to songwriting, and I have no doubt that this new release will rival black midi's best output
