Loved Bloc Party. Got to see them at The Black Cat in DC.

[Matt]

Also loved these guys from the same period…

Caught up with some new stuff on my way home and was surprised to see the algorithm suggested Caramel - it might be worth another listen but definitely the release that caught my attention was this from Web Web (featuring JJ Whitefield on guitar). I think it might go down well with some regulars here.

Been dipping back into this the last few weeks.

Over on the "Vinyl" thread there was some thread drift involving the greatest rock trios of all time. Thought I'd bring it over here. Hendrix and Cream are two of the early favorites. This is an obscure rock trio.

[IH-GARY]

@Jett129 Reminds me a little of the Stray Cats, another fab trio! I'd also add Taste, The Jam and Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble to the list - I've also been lucky enough to catch GA-20 live a couple of times in recent years. 2 guitars and drums. The lineup has changed recently, with Pat the singer splintering off to form another trio.

...and the John Mayer Trio, I can't believe it's coming up to 20 years since their album Try came out - time flies!

[Bridger]

I didn't realise GA-20 has lost two members recently @IH-GARY

Be interested to see the new line-up

[SKT]

That’s great stuff @IH-GARY and GA-20 is new to me. I wasn’t a huge fan of John Mayer until I heard TRY and particularly this song. Then I learned some more about him and his love of SRV. Obviously the dude is a player

[IH-GARY]

@Bridger There is new stuff up on the digital platforms from the latest GA-20 line up. Cody Nilson is a top notch replacement for Pat. Pat’s new band Canyon Lights have released a great tune as well - the line up is the more traditional guitar/bass/drums set up

[IH-GARY]

@SKT I was indifferent to JM until Continuuim came out, the Hendrix licks totally hooked me. I caught JM3 live in Toronto, they were incredible, the musicianship was next level. The intro to WDYTIW gives me the chills every time I hear it.
Same with the opening riff to this one by Cry of Love:

[SKT]

@IH-GARY oh yeah…that’s fantastic

[Jett129]

@IH-GARY How could I forget The Stray Cats and The Jam. Thanks!

[Jett129]

Has anyone here ever seen her?

[Mizmazzle]

Any Aesop Rock fans out there?
Possibly my favorite hip hop artist. Gave this album a listen for the first time today. Maybe not his best…but damn if it ain’t really good!!

[sophisto000]

@Mizmazzle yeah! Labor days and all that back in the day. Atmosphere’s God Loves Ugly from that era is a classic for me too…

[Mizmazzle]

@sophisto000 yeah man. Labor Days is a classic for sure. I think my favorite of his is None Shall Pass.

[Aetas]

Never heard something of him before @Mizmazzle

Crossed the line with Aesop Rock with your suggestion ….

[Mizmazzle]

@Aetas BOOM!!
Glad you dig it! I love his style of flow. I can listen to like 3 albums of his in a row and be psyched.

[Aetas]

Definitely exploded on me @Mizmazzle !

Was on another music nervous system surfing the last days.

In 1991 I had no clue, on what techno was based on. Orbital with THE MOEBIUS as an example

Explored Mö(oe)bius with Cluster, Harmonia and his work with Eno… decades later again with Mari Samuelsen.. She also is playing a beautiful BACH endo.

Went back to Moebius Cluster II from 1972
with this rerelease on vinyl later on today.

Quixotism?
Perhaps , but made my music week !
