@GraemeE @SourPower told me he died Tuesday. I had no idea. RIP

@Inorganic can likely attest to the fact that our local jazz radio station in Portland has played Mr Ayers HEAVILY for years

[Inorganic]

@GraemeE Yes yes..KMHD is a real gem. 2 of their djs live here in N PDX (Farnell Newton & Derek Smith). Its one of my favorite local radio stations from places I've lived (KCRW in LA being another gem)

Vulfpeck dropped a new album yesterday. Stop what you're doing and listen.

@EdH love Vulfpeck looking forward to this

The mighty algorithm put this in my path…any Morphine fans around here? Bueno!

Serious question.

Coldplay come in for a lot of shit. Why?

Why the question Giles? What is your view of Coldplay?

[Giles]

I don't have a major issue with them, quite happy to listen to them and they don't make my skin crawl.

But then I like U2 too. Mabe I’m drawn to areshole front men

[neph93]

I think it is because they are so bland, but also unoriginal. It’s like they curated all the most uninteresting parts of 30 years of alt rock (not least U2), and put it together. You can’t spell «banal» without «a…». Ok I’ll stop there.

Thanks @Giles

I think music, like all art, is subjective. It is a fool's errand to attempt to say what is good or bad. Whatever you enjoy is cool.

PS For what it's worth I think The Unforgettable Fire is a masterpiece

If this doesn't send your jaw to the floor,I don't know what will. Especially the guitar players in this thread,and last but not least who the fuck is Grace Bowers?

Grace Bowers

This is a Reddit link that might be a little bit better than the Youtube version. Obviously you need to be on Reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/phish/comments/1j62gnx/trey_peter_frampton_grace_bowers_play_while_my/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I never liked REM when I was in middle school or high school. I still don’t like their post Green output. Similar trajectory as U2 imo. I didn’t start listening to them until last year actually.

My point is now I get to listen to 6 classic proper college rock albums like it’s new music and I’m loving it.

Wow - she's a killer player - thanks for sharing Jett

[Jett129]

@Bridger Search for her on YouTube,there’s tons of stuff. All of it is phenomenal. Like Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen had a baby.

Now that's a visual I want to get out of my head!
