They don't recognize Skrewdriver. Thing's broken.
It has Public Enemy for me! It takes 19 steps to get from them to CHVRCHES.
I don't think I'm hosting a 2016 collaborative playlist.
that site is way too addicting. THanks.

I really enjoyed listening to The Clits' "Excuse me" EP and it's nothing mind blowing but it has a strong base line.They are on spotify if you want to give it a listen.
I went to trivia at a bar and they had a category called, EDM artist or CAPTCHA code...

I'm just started this but thought it was worth sharing.

Tonight I've been listening to Belle & Sebastian for the first time in forever.... I forgot how good they are at making the perfect pop song.

Just got gifted an old 300 cd player today, and a couple weeks ago I was gifted a sound system. SO MUCH HAPPY.

I wish I was in a band and we did abstract noise cover of "Hey Hey We're The Monkees".

LOL @ Kentucky.
It seems weird to me that I know Bonobo and you don't. Like, that never happens.

Hiss Golden Messenger is primarily frontman MC Taylor and Scott Hirsh and is currently based in Durham, NC. I first heard the band when researching Hopscotch 2012 (which is in NC) and my introduction was with 2012's Poor Moon on Paradise of Bachelors. It's a truly lush record incorporating a lot of different styles, told from the perspective of a relatively new father grappling with doubt and faith. Taylor studied folklore at UNC, and as Grayson Currin expresses far better than I can, "Poor Moon thrives on an absolute Pan-American musical alchemy, where classic country and bar-band rock, pristine bluegrass and subversive funk whittle their own way into the same perfect grooves. This is new music that uses the past like a catapult-- into songs that understand their pedigrees without kowtowing to them. "
Just this year 2010's "Bad Debt" was reissued. It was originally pressed to CD in a very limited run, and almost all copies were destroyed in the London riots warehouse fires. Taylor was not able to get the rights from the label to release this songs until relatively recently. This record is very spare, and to me is the perfect example of what one man and an acoustic guitar can do. The lyrics are front and center and really hit a deep nerve. Consider "The Serpent is Kind (Compared to Man)":
Essentially I'm posting about this band because they are the most exciting thing on my radar right now. I went and bought digital/CDrs of the pre-Bad Debt stuff that was self released, and pretty soon I'm going to delve into Taylor and Hirsch's former band, The Court and Spark.Part by,

Recently I feel like I've been reading a book famous for its ending rather than its contents, as I've, in the past six months, truly delved into Rod Stewart's catalog. The Faces stuff and his early solo records create a large and amazing body of work, and if something had happened Rod Stewart would have been one of the most revered icons in the history of rock. The first four solo records are unimpeachable, front to back, and the Faces were as much hit as they were miss. I mean, the British version of The Office used a song from his first solo record as its theme, and it was just as great there as it is on the album. Few artists reached that level of success ever, and yet Rod has found a way to squander it magnificently. How the same guy who could come up with that fabulous interpolation of Street Fighting Man or Gasoline Alley be the bleached monstrosity that still leeches around talk shows today? I can't think of any single artist who's slipped further, unless we go outside of music to people like George Lucas.
That Jay Z/Daft Punk track is really bad.
Well fuck. I got a bit of a bug to dig into the whole desert rock/Palm Desert music scene, made a Spotify playlist, put it on shuffle and it's 10 for 10 with spectacular tracks, many artists of which I hadn't heard of before.
Check it out here if you're interested.
